Top 10 Asian food in Kochi (Cochin), Kerala, India

August 18, 2019 Vivienne Hutton

Find out what Asian restaurants to try in Kochi (Cochin). A blending of several small villages on the southwestern coast created the current incarnation of Kochi (or Cochin), where sunset strolls, sampling fresh fish from seaside vendors and boat rides through the islands just offshore top visitors' to-do lists. Art centers showcase the traditional dance, Kathakali. European influences are seen in the 16th-century Portuguese-built churches and forts, while the mark of early Chinese traders is visible in the unusual fishing nets dotting the shoreline.

The Rice Boat

Reviewed By JeromeMarrel

Back after more than four years and despite a new chef the food is as excellent as ever.We started with small appetizers which were in fact quite large. A big masala jumbo prawn which was very juicy. A whole soft shell crab, very crispy. And a mini dosa stuffed with crab.Quite full we enjoyed the lightness of a crab and coconut soup with some candied ginger. A must try.Then the main was an assortment of a spicy prawn curry served with Appam, a scallop moilee with Malabar parathas (served burning hot) and a wonderful local sea bass cooked in a banana leaf, perfectly served but quite spicy.As it is the season we ended this beautiful lunch with a mango trilogy. A cheese cake, a tart and a wonderful home made ice cream.Service was discreet and excellent.A good choice of wines and spirit which is a challenge in Kerala.

My wife and I celebrated the birthday of my classmate of some 54 years ago, entirely by chance by having a buffet lunch at this restaurant. I decided on this venue because of our stay at the Marriott Courtyard Hotel, Kochi (which houses this restaurant), but I was not disappointed.They served an entire spread of Kerala authentic cuisine as well as a wide variety of starters, main courses from across both Western and Oriental styles. We delighted in the extra care the staff took to looking after the 3 of us, given it was my classmate's birthday, and the cosy, comfortable and private 'corner' assigned to us meant that we could 'celebrate' joyously and in some elegance, in spite of the restaurant being busy with many business folks who were there to attend seminars or were in transit thru the nearby Kochin airport.It is Onam period in Kerala, the most important festival of the year, and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy so many dishes because of the festival which lasts a week.Dear Guest,Namaskaram from Courtyard by Marriott Kochi Airport!!!Thank you for sharing your feedback and giving us a perfect review. I am glad to hear that, you made us a part to host your classmate's birthday celebration. I am sure our entire hotel staff enjoyed catering to your needs as much as you enjoyed your visit.Thank you once again for dining with us. We would like to have you here again in nearest future.Warm RegardsHarish GopalakrishnanGeneral Manager
