Dinner with candles on the beach. Good start! But waiting for 1 hour for some grilled dishes which arrive cold on the table. Unbelievable. So deceptive.

We came here twice during our stay. Lovely family run restaurant, serving fresh seafood. Very tasty! Would highly recommend.

Carol Days (named after the period when we sing carols at Xmas rather than a person) is a lovely relaxed cafe on a beautiful unspoilt part of Mararikulum Beach. King prawns, fish and calamari all freshly supplied by local fishermen and cooked in a tiny...kitchen.More

Lovely small, unpretentious beach restaurant - good food, if not a lot of it; beers available if you're discreet! A great place to sit, relax and meet and help some lovely local people. Massages available too.

Ordered grilled fish, got two small pieces of the fish. Disappointed as the restaurant is on the beach and there are a lot of fishermen as well as fish. If they offer two small pieces at the price that in other restaurants gets you the...whole fish then they should state so in the menu. Tourist trap!More

Jerome and Judith were very welcoming and made us an excellent lunch with fish he had been out and caught that morning. We had a nice long chat about their life and ours and paid a very reasonable bill of just under £5:00 each, amazing...value for a delightful lunch in a stunning setting. Highly recommended. Thank you both. Nick and Amanda.More

We were there four of us and went back. Great people, extremely friendly, they will prepare whatever you'd like. They go out of their ways to make you feel comfortable. Just go and be nice to them.

Great welcome from Johnson and his family, wonderful seafood, idylic spot to dine on the beach and listen to the waves, fair prices... what more do you want?

This place is just north of the main road down the the beach. We were staying a walk down the beach in a resort. The food here was fabulous and so much better than the resort. We had lovely fresh prawns and calamari. The meal...came with veg curry, rice, beautiful cabbage, poppadoms and pineapple for desert. We had candlelight on the beach. Simple tasty good keralan foodMore

We stumbled across this place just before sunset. There was one other couple arrived at the same time so just the 4 of us there. We ordered some crab and some Kingfish. We waited patiently for 30 mns. after which were informed there was no...crab. Seemed a heck of a long time to discover that as the kitchen is about 5 sq. metres big. We changed the crab for prawn and waited another 40 mns before it came. The Kingfish was dry and thoroughly over cooked as were the prawns. The worst meal we had in the whole of Kerala. We couldn’t finish it. Shame!!More

Right on the Marari beach , the view is splendid, foot on the sand... food excellent especially grilled fresh fish , calamari etc... A very pleasant and relaxing moment On top of that, the owner is so kind, we will not forget you !

Nice and friendly, had great fried prawns, however one (out of 7 plates with approx 7 on each) was bad. They do not serve beer, and dining is outdoor, in the shade on the beach. No fan. Charming family who runs the place.
