This is the place to be if you bring your kids to the cliff. The staff is really super friendly, and you can get a lot of dishes that your kids will eat without complaints. You can change paperback books here, and when waiting for your meal there are games and a TV set to keep the kids busy. A... More

A very good travelers' restaurant, not particularly Indian but after being on the road for four weeks it was pleasant to have a change, loved that they had books and games and even handwash available for customers. More

Taste and quality of the food is superb and the location is romantic..especially in evenings watching sunset and eating from Abba is one of the top things to do in Varkala for me...pricing is reasonable and services very professional...they have a very hygienic kitchen which can be seen from restaurant....this is very rare in varkala More

Ate here once while in Varkala, would not eat there again. Main thing it's soulless, a huge menu of every type of food you can imagine, the food was bland, took over half an hour to arrive and the service was the worst we experienced on the whole of our trip. There are so many much better places on the... More

We went to Abba a few days ago and I got food poisoning from their Chicken Tika Masala. My friend who coincidentally had the same thing the next day also got badly poisoned. We confronted Abba and the were rude and dismissive. I would stay away if you value your health More

Perched at the top of the cliff so you can eat while you look out over the ocean although there is a walkway between the restaurant and the cliff. Food was OK and very cheap (Chicken Tikka was 195 Rupees). More

I had dinner one night. The food was very good and it had good wifi access. The environment was nicer than the other restaurants along the Cliff. I was very disappointed by the fish selection process. I went to the fish bar to chose a fish -- I'm picky as I'm Japanese :). Once the fish was served it didn't... More

An average to poor restaurant. Not bad (if you compare with the others). Beer you get in those dirty mugs. They sell no beer in public. And that fresh baked bread in the name .... that's just dirty old bread that they have roasted. More
