Anitha's Bistro & Cafe - Neyattinkara

Prior to COVid, I recommended this place as the place to eat! Great food and service…but we returmed in February 2023, to be throughly disappointed…we ordered pasta prawn and a pasta chicken dish. Pasta was extremely overcooked, few to no prawns to be found and little chicken… the sauce was doctored catsup and they even provided a bottle of catsup, I guess, to add to sauce. I have to remember this is India and not Italy… ect, but it was below expectations from what Anitha’s was prior to COVid. They indicated they would take a card but it was a hassle… so I paid cash and hope they get their act together to what they once were. Disappointed….

I discovered this restaurant on TripAdvisor and decided to give it a try. Initially, I had trouble finding it as all roads seemed to lead to dead ends. However, after locating a restaurant called 'Miami', I found the alley to the right which led me to the restaurant, located about 50 yards away. Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly staff in a clean and welcoming restaurant. We ordered Keralan chicken (a spicy Indian alternative to KFC), paneer curry, two servings of rice, naan, and drinks, all for about £12. The food was delicious and expertly cooked. I highly recommend this place, it was superb!

Dinner was really good, this place had a very nice vibe! The staff is really friendly, they will make you feel at home.

The best breakfast in Kovalam! You can't afford to skip it. It was delicious and included everything: toast, omelette, tea or coffee, and fruit salad. The service was excellent, with great attention to the customer.

A well lighted and nice ambience for tourists to enjoy the breeze of the waves nearby. Food is as per our own selection. The cafe manager: Mr Ramesh was so kind and happy to assist in any way possible
