The Kerala

Located at the south-western tip of India, Kerala enjoys unique geographical features that have made it one of the most sought after tourist destinations in Asia. A long shoreline with serene beaches, tranquil stretches of emerald backwaters, lush hill stations, exotic wildlife, water falls, enchanting art forms, historic and cultural monuments and certainly an exotic cuisine. If you visit the ten most beautiful places in the world, among them would be The kerala -Gods own country.

Kerala cuisine is a mouth-watering story. Proximity to the richness of Arabian sea and an abundance of exotic spices together with a sharp apetite and a strong craving for ultimate taste brought about an exotic cuisine that makes your mouth an ocean. Here, in The Kerala, we earnestly try to reproduce the same village cuisine which is almost alien to your tongue and we are confident that our kerala born and bred chefs, who started learning the preliminary knowledge of cooking from their own home kitchens can elevate you to a different world with these Nectar and Ambrosia.

We cordially invite you to the opulence of a novel and intellectual blend of diversity of taste-viz The Kerala.
