Great views and good service. Very below average and very overpriced food and drinks (beer twice more expensive then in other places). Almost broke a tooth on chicken 65. Very dry prawns and fish. There are other good food restaurants with better prices and comparable...views around.More

We had king prawns and pomfret in South Indian Tawa fry. It was overcooked, spices were all burnt off. Such a horrible experience.

Since we came to Kerala, the only which was hard to find was North Indian taste but then we came to Bcanti and here the chef knows how to cook for whom. He would just cook the way we would ask him and come to...our table to know what exactly we want. Just loved the experience here.More

Amazing Place, Good Views, Good Food and Service. A Worth It Experience. Good View from room and also very accessible beach.We tried so many seafood delicacies from Bait and hook and it all tasted so good.  We loved seerfish gravy paired with steamed rice,  calamari...starters, prawn masala. They also have different dishes for vegetarians.. one of them we tried was paneer pakora. We also tried their inhouse special tender coconut mousse which is highly recommended.  Also if you are staying here you can have a candle light dinner under the canopy of stars watching the waves crashing.  It was a beautiful experience for us.  We missed the vibe at Bait and hook restaurant as it was under renovation but we will surely come visit it again the next time we are in varkala.More

I asked to make diet seafood (without oil and spices), kindly explained to the waiter that I have sensitive stomach. After long waiting they brought oily fried fish. I was disappointed. Couldn’t eat that at all. Prices in restaurant not correspond to quality.

The food here was fantastic and the staff was friendly too. They made everything on order as requested. Being a north Indian. I crave for north Indian food in south and it's rare to get good north Indian food here. But they made the north...Indian cuisines very well. The flavors were on on point. My favorite was the yellow Dal which I ordered in every meal along with other dishes.More

Hey hey hey, if you want tasty and delicious food with a perfect view for your vacations then your search ends here. This restaurant provides all variety of food, be it north indian or south indian. I went there after lockdown opened and I had...really nice experience. I have been to so many places in India and most of time, I had to struggle with food and especially when it comes to south as I am from North but this time I was not disappointed and in fact I was happy because even though I tried South Indian dishes. It was so tasty, specially Kerala parantha with butter paneer masala and my favourite vanila shake is a must try.More
