" We ordered takeout, expecting the same high quality as when we try. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre and seemed stale compared to our prior experiences. The flavors weren’t as vibrant, and the service was lackluster once we picked up our order. I hope this was just a one-time issue as I’ve previously enjoyed their food. Not sure if I’d recommend takeout at this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a great meal at Mr. John's. We ordered a variety of items, including the mutton varathiyathu and fish curry. Most of the dishes tasted authentic to Kerala. The portion sizes were decent, but service was a bit slow which affected the overall experience. If they could improve the wait times, I’d definitely rate this place higher. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a fantastic experience! I had the pork varattiyathu, which was tender and bursting with flavor. The ambiance strongly reflects Kerala's traditional kitchens, which really adds to the experience. The staff was very attentive, making sure everything was perfect. I will recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Kerala cuisine. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant had great potential, but my latest visit was disappointing. The chicken biryani was undercooked and the flavors did not match the expected Kerala style. I shared this with the staff and they seemed indifferent, which added to my frustration. I hope they can improve because the previous visits were better! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I decided to try Mr. John's for our anniversary dinner. The food was nothing short of fantastic! The flavors were rich and the presentation was beautiful. The only negative was the wait for our food, but once it arrived, we understood why. It was fresh and obviously made with love. We left satisfied and planning our next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Their sadhya was delicious, and the variety of dishes they offer is impressive. The servers were attentive and friendly, really enhancing the dining experience. One suggestion is that I’d love to see more vegan options. The ambiance felt very welcoming. I'm definitely planning to come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent visit, I was thrilled to see they offer a vegan version of the sadya! As a vegan, finding authentic Kerala cuisine is rare, but Mr. John's hit the mark perfectly. The flavors were delightful, and the service was very accommodating. I felt like a valued customer, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. I’ll be returning often for their vegan options.
