Balan Chettande Kada (Hotel City Star) - Restaurant in Kochi - Ernakulam, India

I can't fathom why people and food bloggers praise this place; my experience was utterly disappointing. Arriving during lunch, we ordered porotta, beef fry, and chicken fry. The porotta was cold, the beef fry lacked flavor, and the meat pieces were predominantly fat. The chicken fry was among the worst I've tasted, emanating a strange and excessive smell of oil. Despite its reputation, I couldn't find any of the dishes palatable.

Balachettante Kada', in Mattanchery is famous for its mutton chops and 'maniputtu', which is a kind of noodle steamed inside a cylindrical container, a distant relative of idiyappam, a similar snack, most Keralites have. A must try. My 2nd visit.

One of the best shops in Mattanchery to have breakfast or dinner. Their square porotta and beef fry are a must-try. The chicken fry is also great. The tea is also something special. The free gravy they are giving with the poratta is also of good quality and very tasty. The rest of the menu is also good. I visited here more than three times, and all the time the taste and quality of the food were consistent. The hotel is always busy and has a limited number of seats, so sometimes you should wait to get a table.

It's known food space in fortkochi. their signature dishes are square porotta, mutton chaps, maniputtu etc. It's an old tea shop. There is no parking space

One of the best shops in Kochi to have breakfast. Square porotta and mutton chaps should be a must try dish when you visit. It was really good and is worth the hype. Only problem is difficulty to find parking. You might find some space at nearby Jain temple road; even though you have to walk a little bit, it's totally worth it.

Very tasty parotta and beef curry available. A must try place. Parking is not available here. And food space also a bit congested.

Here giving a normal old hotel vibe... Food average nice service also

Their square porota is super tasty n the beef roast gravy
