Karavalli - Restaurant in Bengaluru - Bengaluru Urban, India

I was really looking forward to this place but it was quite an underwhelming experience. 4 stars for the food, 3 stars for service. The highlights- kori gassi with kori roti, pathrawade, prawn ghee roast and the complimentary rasam. The lowlights- Service could be so much better. We asked for menus. We asked for someone to come take the order. We asked someone to light the mosquito incense stick multiple times. Not once did someone come and check in on us or ask if we wanted something, or if we are ready to order. Skip the mushroom curry and the chicken curry- no flavors, just spicy. Overall the place is a hit or a miss. The flavors are pretty toned down, and lacks the punch. For the $$$$ you are paying this place is not worth it. One less star for the mosquitoes- this place is infested. We were being eaten alive throughout dinner.

For an authentic seafood experience. Ambience is good as well. The setup and the attention from the waiters is great. Food takes a little while to be served. We went on a work-day night which meant lesser occupied tables which meant better service. Must try the sea food. Reminded me of good dining experiences in Kerela.

Had one our sumptuous lunch there at Karavalli. It was always on my to-do list. Preparation wise, it was okay, I would say. I had good coastal food elsewhere as well. Ambience and service gets 5 star - rating.

Karavalli is a culinary gem. The restaurant's authentic coastal Indian cuisine is a delightful journey for the palate. From succulent seafood dishes to aromatic curries, each bite is a celebration of flavors. The ambiance is inviting, reflecting the region's warmth. Attentive service and a diverse menu showcasing traditional recipes make Karavalli a standout dining experience. The attention to detail, including the use of fresh ingredients and spice blends, creates a symphony of tastes that transport you to the southern coast. A true haven for food enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable taste of India's coastal culinary heritage.

Karavalli is a high-end restaurant serving cuisine from the West coast of India in a refined setting. Seafood plays a major role in the cooking along the coast, and we tried the Kane Kaidina (whole lady fish) and the Malvani Surmai (seer fish steak), both of which were covered in a red spice paste and shallow-fried. I also got the Mangalorean Fish Curry, which came with sliced white pomfret fish in a spiced coconut curry, which went nicely with the thin neer dosa and fluffy appam we ordered on the side. On the table came more accompaniments including rasam, tomato and coconut chutneys, papad, crunchy rings, and pickle, and everything was presented beautifully and served on a banana leaf. What a delicious seafood meal!

A totally wonderful experience middle of the city. Great outdoor seating and wonderful service. Seafood is a bit too watered down for more expensive taste buds so do not go looking for a spice kick

Very calm & peaceful place in the heart of Bangalore, residency road. Has its own charm and great hospitality. I would rate 5/5 on cleanliness. Food was 3/5. Prices according to the place, brand & ambience. Overall 3/5

The food at Karavalli has been the most authentic coastal cuisine you can taste in Bengaluru. There is outdoor seating arrangement here. We had tried attirachy ularthi, neychoru, appam and meen pollichathu. All the dishes were really tasty.
