Sandalwood Restaurant and Caterers - Restaurant in Lakkidi - Palakkad, India

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sandalwood Restaurant and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The food was simply exceptional - every dish was expertly prepared and packed with flavor, leaving me wanting more. The service was equally impressive, with friendly and attentive staff making sure that my dining experience was nothing short of amazing. I also appreciated the restaurant's commitment to cleanliness, as the entire establishment was spotless and well-maintained. With its cozy and inviting ambiance, Sandalwood Restaurant is definitely a top-notch dining destination that I highly recommend.

The new restaurant in Lakkidi junction has left a great impression. Car parking space available for 4-5 cars. Pleasant ambience and staffs made us feel welcome. There is a private room for six people where a family could enjoy the meal and have privacy. Their kitchen is visible from the restaurant and is very clean and hygienic. Quality food presented well was a delight. We tried Biriyani, Kerala Porotta, chicken Achari Tikka, prawns Kerala fry, Mushroom Makhmali, Paneer Lababdar, Kozhi kurumulaku Puratti( pepper chicken). Biriyani was the best in town with right flavours. So was the chicken tikka which was very juicy and soft. The chicken in pepper chicken was not very tender but the flavour was good. Mushrooms were really tasty and presented well. Prawns were fresh n crispy. Overall we enjoyed the food. Special mention to Deepti who played a lovely hosthost. This is my third visit to the hotel and I appreciate the fact that they have maintained the standards of food and service.

In my culinary explorations over the years, which are well-documented in the myriad reviews on my profile, it's an uncommon joy to discover a restaurant that makes a lasting impression, particularly in Kerala's dining scene. Sandalwood is one such rare find. It offers the perfect combination of tasty food, great service, and excellent ambiance, all at a reasonable price. The large transparent glass partition between the dining area and the kitchen serves as an emblem of their commitment to professionalism, offering us a glimpse into the preparation of the dishes. I always appreciate being able to see how the food is prepared, as it bolsters my trust in the care with which it is handled. The Dahi Bahl I ate here was the best of its kind that I have ever had. It's a must-try. It's not only visually appealing but also extremely tasty. I've never eaten this type of dahi before. The Chicken Biriyani was above average, though not exceptional. I've had better. However, what stands out to me is their consistent quality. I've had the misfortune of ordering from other restaurants where the quality varies; sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's lacking. The consistency Sandalwood offers is commendable, a fact emphasized by my five repeat orders during unexpected guest visits. The Stuffed Gulab Jamun struck a harmonious balance of sweetness, served warm, meltingly soft, and just perfect for those with a sweet tooth. The Chum Chum was both unique and tasty. It's always a delight to see new options on a menu. The Ras Malai was decent. But not for my taste buds. Their Tandoori Chicken is delicious. Their packaging when delivered, which includes easy-to-eat plastic boxes rather than plastic covers used by other restaurants, is convenient and also it is semi-reusable. I am keen to try more from their menu in the future. Overall, this is an excellent restaurant that stays true to its claim of being run by ex-5star chefs. Their illustrious background and passion is seen in every facet of the restaurant. From the meticulously curated decor that creates a warm inviting ambiance to the premium utensils that grace the tables, to the way food is served, to the clean washrooms, it's evident that no detail has been overlooked. I fervently hope Sandalwood becomes a massive success and sets a new benchmark in Kerala's dining landscape. Highly recommended.

It was a great experience with you sandalwood restaurant . The quality and service you provide is upto the mark ! The food i ordered was chappathi ,butter nan ,sandalwood special chicken curry, chicken fried with nuts,all those dishes were superb and delicious! There correct flavours and ingredients made the food so good . I have reached there at 12:55 pm and just when i seated itself the staff came and take the order and he was very cleanly dressed up and just took the order with a pleasant smile and i asked him for suggestion , he had done it well . I have an exam at 1:30 at lakkidi college so i have asked him to provide the food ASP ...He said that it will take only 15 mins so i have done my order too and also he had given's us the chicken fry as starter at first at 1:10 pm and the main course at 1:15 . Correct time management i have seen there . The another attraction to this restaurant was its ambience and cleanliness . The dine table , restaurant interior , washroom was very cleanly maintained. The staff behaviour was extremely good . Its my first experience with you and i hope you will maintain all this till last and serve us good food . After finsihing my food i have told the owner who was a lady standing in the cash counter and there was a chef too , the food which you provided were awesome and all the dishes were properly flavoured . And they also told that they provide home delivery to mine residential place . Food , service, ambience, hygiene all were great but something i felt which was missing is that a family space or room but its not a problem just mentioning my suggestion

Best place to have your favourite dishes at a neat & calm atmosphere. You can experience the dishes getting ready in front of you at the open kitchen. There's ample parking space right in front of the restaurant

Tasty & fresh food value for money . The parathas were simply so good. Pulao, paneer butter masala was also good.

One of the very few restaurants where open kitchen is maintained. A restaurant run by few five star hotel chefs. Food is simply delicious. Don't miss their mango fish curry. Highly recommend at Lakkadi.
