Lovely, chill atmosphere - great location overlooking the stunning cliffs. Service was OK, and staff were very friendly. My husband and I split a few veggie curries - and they were delicious!

This is a good restaurant where I had breakfast every morning during my stay in Varkala. There are so many options and all tasted good. The waiters are really friendly and make you feel welcome. Lovely sea view, you can choose to sit in the sun or shade.

Terrible service, the coffee was bad - they use this Capsule / Mocha machine which isn't good. The waiters are rude, and sometimes there's a western lady who's going out with the owner who lures people in by standing next to the fish stand. Just because of its "Strategic location"

I loved this little unassuming cafe. The food was simple but excellent and the service great. It was quieter than most of the other places at it was right at the end of the main area, but that didn't detract from the experience. I felt lucky to have discovered it.

A lovely breezy place were you get the best breakfast and coffee. I fell for the Israeli one with hot pita bread, with humus, tahini, fried egg plant, salat and eggs at your choice. The very friendly boys from north India also make you fabulous fruit and vegetable juices. Milestone is just outside the gate of the fabulous Bohemian Masala... More

Tried almost everywhere on the strip and this is 100% the best - just as trip advisor says! Great food - Indian, seafood, sesame prawn toast, even the burger. I added an egg and avocado and they made it perfectly. Really really nice waiters. Go here they deserve the trade even though they're one of the last places on the... More

We visited this restaurant during our 11-day trip to Varkala. This was our second trip to India (and Varkala) in the year 2012. We visited many cafes/restaurants on the Cliff, but this was most to our liking! We basically made it our home during our stay. The food was great. Our favorite was the Veg Burger: the price is great... More

They are far down the way and... More
