Fodor's Expert Review Coastal Kitchen
$$$$
Varkala
International
Open all day, and with an open-air patio on the cliff, Coastal Kitchen may just be Varkala's best restaurant, serving all regional and Kerala specialties as well as vegetarian options like eggplant curry. Don’t miss the karuvepilai prawns, spicy and fried up with a lot of curry leaves, or the meen polichathu, fish fried in a wrapped banana leaf, or nadan meen charu, a local kind of fish curry; the desserts are good, too.
