" A delightful experience from start to finish! The Kerala chicken curry was simply divine, with just the right amount of spice. The appam paired perfectly, making every bite an absolute treat. Our server was very attentive, ensuring our drinks were never empty and making recommendations that were spot on. The little touches like traditional Kerala decor really made the place feel special. I would thoroughly recommend Kerala Swad for those wanting an authentic taste of Kerala. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Kerala Swad due to its reputation, but my recent visit didn't quite live up to expectations. While the mutton biryani was loaded with flavor, I found the meat to be a bit tough. The service was kind and prompt, but the ambiance felt somewhat cramped, and I hoped for a more extensive menu offering. Overall, I enjoyed my meal but felt it could use a little more attention to detail. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Kerala Swad for takeout, and I have to say that I was quite impressed! The chicken biryani was flavorful, and more than enough to share—totally worth it! The portions were generous, and the staff was kind enough to pack everything neatly. My only complaint might be the wait time, which was a bit longer than expected, but the delicious food made it all worthwhile. I'll definitely be back for another meal, maybe dining in next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was the first time I tried Kerala cuisine, and it was a fantastic introduction! The flavors in the crab curry were mind-blowing, and the atmosphere felt authentic with wonderful decor. However, my friend’s chicken curry was a bit underwhelming. Despite this, the staff were very helpful in recommending popular dishes. Overall, a good meal in a wonderful setting, but I think I will try different things next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have eaten at many South Indian restaurants, and none have compared to the authenticity I found at Kerala Swad! The flavors in their dishes are bold, unique, juicy, and rich in tradition. I would particularly recommend their chicken curry, which was cooked to perfection. My only disappointment was the inconsistent wait times. While the food is worth the wait, I would love to see some improvements in that area. Overall, a great find in the heart of the city! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always crave authentic South Indian flavors, and Kerala Swad delivered beautifully! From the moment I took the first bite of the fish fry, I knew I was in for a treat. Each dish was a perfect harmony of spices that felt authentic to Kerala. Plus, the staff treated us with genuine kindness. The only thing preventing a full five-star review is slightly smaller portion sizes than I expected. Nonetheless, I can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Seldom have I visited a restaurant where the food has been so authentic and flavorful as at Kerala Swad. The beef stew with appam was simply one of the best meals I have had in recent times! Not only was the food superbly delicious, but the warm service made the experience even more delightful. It’s a cozy atmosphere, perfect for family gatherings or an intimate meal. Recommend without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)
