Delicious juices and freshly prepared prawns in an idyllic setting. Came for a late light lunch and it delivered just what we wanted.

Set in the perfection location of Marari Beach, we were looking forward to our lunch. However, there were only three options available on the menu and by the time we ordered, this was down to two; we had fried Tuna and fried mackerel. We waited...around an hour for our food and when it came it was distinctly average. The flavours were OK but the inclusion of rice and other little additional extras included in the price were welcome. This restaurant has potential to be lovely but I would avoid if searching for authentic Indian cuisine.More

We were the first people there on the evening and the guy opened up for us. The menu was simple and limited but the food was good, wholesome and very reasonable. The people were helpful but sort of shy. Later another couple came and joined...us and it made for a nice evening. If you're a backpacker or just want a complete change then give it a go.More

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.

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

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

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.
