Kappa Chakka Kandhari - Authentic Kerala cuisine experience

| Masala Tea to end our meal |
Although visually appealing food has its craze, there is no doubt that down to earth, tasty & “made with love” food hits the spot each & every time!
We often taste radically different food but it is rare that a certain taste sticks to our palate. Sometimes we want to take a dip in the clouds again! This reference can be understood if you read deeper into the post.
Raising the curtains now as building more suspense would just cause us more pain: we visited the restaurant Kappa Chakka Kandhari, a restaurant specializing in Kerala Cuisine located in Koramangala, 6th Block, Bangalore.
If you want to check out their demand, just drive past the restaurant & you’ll find a queue of at least 20-30 people at all times, guaranteed! Now that shows that they’re doing something right!
Also, If you want to have a table booked, it is difficult to get one of those coveted Kappa Chakka Kandhari table booking, since they only take a few bookings.

After dining there we tried to figure out what that is & guess what, they don’t care if your plate is Instagram-able. They just focus on flavour, homework & ingredients to make you come back for more. It works even more because of the value for money they provide so you don’t feel a pinch in your pocket.
Coming down to the short summary of what we tried from the Kappa chakka kandhari Bangalore menu & the dishes we absolutely recommend:
Koonthal Roast: A simple yet marvellous squid rings preparation. The rings were cooked to perfection. They were soft but had a bite to them. It was mildly spicy & paved the way for spicier food!
Prawn Kizhi: Ever wondered what a banana leaf dumpling looks like? Well, this is it! The prawns mixed with the coconut masala is steamed & tastes delicious because the prawns retain all the flavour. The only downside is that the prawns get overcooked due to the process.
Seer Masala Fry: Seer by its nature is a fibrous fish but in this case, it was cooked so beautifully that you can only focus on the positives. The taste was remarkable & nothing like we’ve tasted before. The tartness of the gooseberries & the spiciness of the chilli, balance out brilliantly.
Irachi/Vazhapoo cutlet: Both the beef & banana blossom cutlets were delicious! The highlight though was the beet root chutney served with it. It was creamy, mildly sweet & packed with flavour. The beef cutlet was mostly beef & fried after coating with an egg wash so although it is very fulfilling, it has a tendency to increase your thirst.
Pineapple Nendram Masala: We hope the Chef gets his commission because we really relished this relish type dish. It is more of an acquired taste. To be honest, we’re missing the tangy sweetness.
Shappu Meen Curry: They give a giant piece of fish in a thick red kokum & chilli based curry. The curry gave us the chills. It tastes really good with white rice. This is served with steamed tapioca & kandhari chutneys. The contrast of flavour is spectacular.

That’s about it for the mains! For the drinks, we definitely recommend their Goli sodas as they are perfect thirst quenchers. We also tried a spicy drink made of kandhari chillies which acted as a perfect palate cleanser.
For the bread, the Idiappam & the Puttu were perfect. We tried the Pathiri for the first time & we haven’t tasted anything thinner than this. It is coated with coconut milk & then had as a slice of normal bread. This paragraph is to give credit to the Ramassery Idly. It is the softest idly we’ve had & it has a lot of technique behind it. Do follow our Instagram (@foodielandblog) to check out the video.
Apparently, there are 4 families which still use this method of cooking idlies & one of them work with Kappa Chakka Kandhari Koramangala and one with their Chennai restaurant! This deserves a try.

The only thing which we thought is average is the Mutton chaps preparation. The minuscule pieces of mutton were cooked well but the flavour profile was not balanced. The gravy was too diluted & we can’t say that we enjoyed it.
Lastly, the dessert section where the cloud reference comes in! Firstly, kudos to Kappa Chakka Kandhari for the concept of the Kandhari ice cream. That creamy, cold, sweet & spicy ice cream hit all the spots. We loved it! Finally, the cloud pudding. We recommend each living being to try this. We can probably survive on just this for a month. This tender coconut pudding is so perfect that we don’t want to upset ourselves by talking about it. If you don’t like anything we said, just visit for this—you won’t regret it!
It really feels good to write about good & hearty food because it takes you back there & we’re currently sitting in Kappa Chakka Kandhari (metaphorically). We had a great time tasting these delicious wonders.
We know its long but we strongly advise to skim through. Do let us know what your thoughts are & definitely let us know your likes & dislikes if you visit!
The value for money which they provide is rare considering the quality of food.
Hope you enjoyed the visuals ;)
We’ll be back again soon with something different!
Till then –stay healthy, stay safe & bon apetit!
