Alright look my husband and I go to any and all indian restaurants and we never find Kerala restaurants which good quality and a great ambiance but Jebu has created just that. The vibe, the quality of the food and the authenticity to elevated keralite food was truly unmatched! Highly recommend going in and having a meal! We had the tandoori chicken, meen pollichathu, kochi special chicken curry, lamb Rogan Josh, goat varuthathu, naan and Malabar parathu (which was literally the best I have ever had!). EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!

While the food is beyond doubt exceptional, it’s the feel good factor that the chef brings to the dine in experience that is unparalleled. Where else can you find a wide smile accompanied by a friendly nod to all your special requests.

We’ve been going to this restaurant for many years and have enjoyed trying Malayali and other South Indian dishes in addition to the more common Northern dishes. All were excellent. Today we got to try sadhya for the first time, which was a wonderful new experience. Delicious food and gracious service.

Delicious, authentic Kerala food. The shrimp appetizer was amazing and we also enjoyed the pepper chicken curry and mutton curry. A little on the spicy side (we ordered medium this time, but will probably go with mild in the future). Attentive service. Highly recommended.

Kochi is the only restaurant that I can honestly say has the best Indian cuisine. Their food is full of flavor and just the right amount of spicy levels. My go to entres are chicken tikka masala and saag paneer. Their garlic naan is also very rich in flavor. 10/10; would definitely recommend if you’re in the area or craving authentic Indian food.

Highly recommend visiting this restaurant. We are unfamiliar with traditional food from Kerala but tried several of the specialties here, all were excellent. Staff were friendly and we enjoyed chatting with the chef too. Will definitely be back to try more!
