Cheenavala - Seafood restaurant in Kochi, Ernakulam - Ernakulam, India

A very popular seafood restaurant in kochi. It is located close to Lulu mall near the metro stop. The restaurant is quite crowded especially during weekends. The thali which is unlimited is a great option. Tried the fish curry thali and Cheenawala thali where they gave unlimited rice and fish Good value for money. The flavours are quite authentic too. For seafood lovers, they have an option to choose your fish and order catch of the day as well. Recommended

Many sea/Fresh water fish varieties . Did not have Lobster during my lasr visit. When you enter you will feel like entering a fish market, probably because of all the fish/ prawns/crabs on ice display, but your nose will soon adjust to that. Seafood platter is a good choice as a couple. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Place is a bit expensive. If all the fish they bring are freshly made as they claim then its good. They offer Birthday special dining which i saw during my last visit.

Good food, but highly expensive considering the quantity, taste, and ambience. For the price paid, service is just average. One Karimeen costs 800 Rs., One coconut pudding costed 240, and one brownie another 240. This pricing is of a 5 star hotel and the quantity offered is way below the cost. Definitely not worth the money spent. Their Biriyani items are tasty, again, overpriced. Look at the menu I am adding and you could get an idea. Another let down was I ordered egg fried rice and they brought me veg fried rice. When I highlighted this, they just added scrambled egg on it and brought back. The premium pricing is not justified in any ways here.

If you are a seafood lover and want to try something different, then this is the place. Not only seafood but also a variety of beef, mutton, chicken is also available. We ordered mud crab roast, egg appam, fried rice and chilli chicken which tasted okay. Quantity wise worth the money. Recommended : karruveppila fish (starters) Very calm and relaxing ambiance. Best visit time after 7pm. The washrooms are very clean and well maintained. Free parking space available. Overall a nice experience.

Tasty kerala style sea food restaurant, they have different varieties of fish dishes. You can select love fish and select the masala. Cost wise it's a bit high and taste wise and the atmosphere is awesome.

Great food and value for money. Ambience is great as well. Quick service. They also give you a welcome drink. Staff is great as well.

Try this place atleast once, if you are a seafood lover. They do serve other non veg items as well. Vegetarian choice is less. The server gave a short description of the dishes on menu and invited us to the fresh fish counter to choose the fish of our liking. Though I can't recollect the names of the dishes, the one with kanthari chilly koottu was more delicious. Seafood platter was another dish that we tried and found good. Excellent staff, great service. The wash room was maintained neat and clean. Ample parking space available.

Had a WFO team lunch here at Cheenavala! We ordered cheenavala special thali (didn't take the photo as I was so much hungry and forgot ) along by with seafood platter (for 3) and the normal non-veg thali (for 4). Good service, ambience was excellent as well. Special thali has meen thoran, squid curry and our own Kerala style mango & fish curry in addition to normal thali. Platter has what you see in the photos and the non-veg had mutton, beef and chicken dishes.. was yummy and tummy filling too !!
