One of the best Indian restaurants that we have been to in recent times! The service was impeccably charming and the food was so tasty! The portions were great- just enough, not too much or too little and with plenty of meat. Highly recommend kind...prawn curry! Will definitely return.More

I eat at my Indian restaurants, it’s my favourite food. Often I am disappointed because it’s run of the mill. I am never disappointed here because the food and service is excellent. The Thalis are a must to try, amazing value for money and delicious....I will always return here when I am in Hemel.More

I love South Indian food having spent a bit of time working there. Cochin doesn’t disappoint. Particularly like the dosas and breads which you don’t get in standard Indians. Service from the efficient and very friendly Soorya was great. Big car park nearby (gets busy)...free from 18:00More

This Cochin Restaurant is a five-star gem! The authentic flavours and excellent service make it a must-visit. I have visited with my family and the staff were extremely friendly and dishes were super tasty!

I have been here a few times and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. This time I came with 5of my friends to celebrate my birthday. One dish of calamari we asked to be replaced as it was soggy and undercooked. Generally the rest of...the food was nice. It was pricey but tasty. Sadly however by the end of the evening myself and one other of my friends felt very unwell and the pair of us spent the next 2 days or so with terrible symptoms of food poisening. We still did not feel our best yesterday which is 3 days later! I contacted them to let them know and feel upset that i was not acknowledged apart from a standard thanks for the contact message. I am dissapointed with this whole situation. Further to this I lost 2 work shifts because I had food poisening following eating there. So all in all, I can't recommend this restaurant and have found it all to be very dissapointing and distressing experience. It's a thumbs down from me. 👎More

Hi, I reckon that the area just opposite the restaurant is for Blue Badge holders only - 6 or 7 spaces. Enjoy your meal!
