Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I write many reviews on Trip Advisor, and if you look at them you will notice that they are all excellent reviews. I mention this to let you know that if I write a bad review, it is definitely well-deserved. This place was a disaster....It took a while to get them to take my order, but ok that's fine. About 10 minutes later the waitress comes back and says, I'm sorry could you tell me your order again? OK, I gave her my order again. 10 minutes later she comes back again and says, I need you to give me your order again and this time I will write it down. So I've spent at least 30 minutes in this place and haven't gotten any farther than when I first walked in. About 5 minutes later she comes back and says, sorry we don't have the item you are wanting. That was it...I got up and walked out. On top of that, it took 15 MINUTES for them to provide me with a wifi password because no one knew it except the manager/owner, who had to write it down on a piece of paper to give to me. It's like I was the first person to ever ask for a wifi password. Just an all-around clueless place. When I write a bad review, it's deserved. There are plenty of other decent restaurants along the beach. Skip this one.More

Been here a few times during my 2.5 weeks in Kovalam. The breakfast is the best on the beach and so is their fish in banana leaf. Everything is super fresh. The staff is super friendly and helpful. One of the best in Kovalam ✌🏽

In the background music of "Gun n Roses" i enjoyed sipping on black tea in a corner where it's meant for " For chronic bachelors" . The ambiance is just fitting to my life style. Somehow i have to be here watching the ocean after...a bare legged walk on the beach or just before sunset. What can you say other then "Paradise" to be experienced.More

It is known that Kovalam Beach is at least twice as expensive than places in town. Location and tourist hot spot makes it worthwhile. BUT THIS PLACE CHARGES 3X MORE THAN OTHER KOVALAM RESTAURANTS. 200Rs for a salt lassi???? Extortion!!! You'd think it must be...better - quite on the contrary!!! Off course they have no menu.. only a QR code to scan. Guess why? They will have no customers if the menu was on display like in every other placeMore

Was feeling quite curried out so we felt like something ‘easy’ and this place didn’t disappoint. Nice ambience to it, tucked further along the main front along Kovalam. A nice ‘mug’ of something helped too! Just went for greek salad and Killer Pizza - pizza...was nice thin crust - perhaps to be Killer it needed more spice but it was lovely. Watching the sun set was great. Basically, a relaxed evening with lovely servers too.More

I have been a patron of this cafe for many years and ensure to visit whenever I am in Trivandrum. I was shocked to find that the food served does not even compare to what it used to be. Here's a brief - 1. The...beef steak was rubbery with no sauce at all; the meat was like bricks. The mash potatoes served along with it was mostly raw and interspersed with potato skin (and worse). Ditto for the chicken steak. 2. The Sea Food Omelette, which at a time used to be the restaurant's specialty had frugal Sea Food in it. 3. The Chinese was bland and tasteless, the Chicken Fried Rice barely had any chicken, and the Indian chicken curry that we ordered tasted like tomato sauce. 4. The "buffalo" wings we ordered had not "buffalo sauce" on them and were mostly just bones I am not a foodie and usually have a high tolerance level for bad food, but my Beatles experience was so bad that I do not wish this upon any other fellow human beings. To sum up, Beatles ain't what it used to be and I feel that instead of spending 4 grand here, my family and I could have enjoyed much better food at less than a quarter of the price. Stay away - avoid, avoid, avoid!More
