Cochin Ark Restaurant - Restaurant in Navi Mumbai - Raigad, India

I recently experienced a meal that left me more disappointed than delighted, thanks to what can only be described as an extreme and excessive use of oil. The culinary journey started promisingly, with an enticing menu and high expectations, but it quickly turned into a greasy nightmare. From appetizers to main courses, every dish seemed to swim in a pool of oil, drowning the flavors and textures that should have shone through. Instead of enhancing the natural essence of the ingredients, the excessive oil overshadowed everything, leaving me with a heavy, unpleasant aftertaste. The appetizers, usually a prelude to a delightful dining experience, were coated in a slick sheen that made them unappetizing. The main courses suffered a similar fate, with even the most well-prepared proteins and vegetables losing their integrity under the relentless onslaught of oil. It felt like the chef had mistaken a frying pan for a swimming pool, leading to an oily disaster on my plate. Not only did the overuse of oil compromise the taste, but it also left me feeling uncomfortably full and sluggish. It's disheartening when a potentially enjoyable dining experience is marred by a lack of balance and restraint in the kitchen. In the realm of culinary arts, moderation is key. Unfortunately, this particular establishment seemed to have missed the memo. The disappointment lingers, serving as a cautionary tale for those who believe that more oil equals more flavor. In this case, it was a recipe for culinary disaster.

Good for kerla style food .. Very much budget friendly. Speciality: Laccha Paratha.

The first thing you will notice about this restaurant is the quantity of food they offer at a very affordable price. As the reviewers recommended, I ordered the food at home a few times. Taste is good. 'Kerala style Chicken Curry ' is more spicy and delicious than chicken chettinadu. 'Kerala style Chicken Chilly' is good. Tried Kuttu paratha with chicken good taste. Butter chicken was ok. The curry and gravy dishes tastes better with Malabar paratha.

I have been eating cochin ark food for the past 10 years. It is the OG spot for Kerala food. The prices are very reasonable and the food is also worth it. The chicken pieces may not be tender as expected, however it depends on the dish you order. Kerala Parotta is served warm and fresh. Chilli chicken serving is also pretty generous. The biryani is average but really worth the price.

The taste is the same for all gravy items with curry leaves. Only paratha is good for take away only

Chicken Chettinad was not nice at all. The gravy was sticky and chicken was not tender. Pathetic taste. I was so hungry, it killed my hunger without filling my taste buds. Highly disappointed

People lives nearby Kharghar who loves kerala food must visit this place you will get authentic Kerala food .Food is tasty,service is good.
