" I had high hopes for Kardamom Kitchen after hearing about their authentic Kerala food, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! The fish curry was absolutely divine, flavored just right, reminiscent of my grandmother's cooking. The atmosphere is cozy, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Overall, I can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu. Truly a hidden gem in Hamilton! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Kardamom Kitchen, I fall more in love with their food. The snacks are a must-try, especially the chaat options! Every bite was bursting with flavor and a perfect blend of spices. Plus, the staff is exceptionally warm and welcoming, creating a pleasant dining experience. The pricing is reasonable, and it's one of the best places if you’re craving authentic Kerala snacks. I’ll definitely keep coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always appreciate a good snack, and the ones here at Kardamom Kitchen certainly deliver! The egg puff was scrumptious; flaky pastry filled with nicely spiced egg mixture made it a delightful treat. I ended my meal with some pazham pori which was equally delicious! My only note is that it can get a bit busy during lunchtime so I recommend a visit a bit earlier or later. Overall, a fantastic place for snacks with a touch of authenticity! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great experience at Kardamom Kitchen. Their biryani tasted just like what you would get back home! It was fragrant and had just the right amount of spices. The staff made me feel welcome the moment I walked in, and the ambiance was vibrant. I would say it’s a bit small, but they utilize space well. If you are craving authentic South Indian food, definitely give this place a try. You won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Kardamom Kitchen for the first time and was quite amazed. I had their fish curry and rice, and it was everything I hoped for! The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked with spices that danced on my palate. The environment was warm and welcoming, making it a great dining experience. My only regret is not trying their snacks as well. I will definitely return to sample their other offerings soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ghee rice I ordered had a good flavor, but the chicken roast was slightly disappointing, as it seemed a tad overcooked. I sat in the restaurant for a bit, enjoying the atmosphere as it has a nice South Indian feel. Service was friendly, but they were overwhelmed with orders during peak hours, resulting in slow waiting times. I'd probably return, but I'd urge the team to work on the kitchen speed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kardamom Kitchen offers a unique take on South Indian cuisine. I tried their ghee rice and chicken roast and enjoyed the overall experience. The chicken was tender and well-seasoned, though I wished the ghee rice would’ve had a bit more flavor. The atmosphere is quite inviting, which made my visit pleasant. A little bit on the pricier side, but I'll definitely be back to try out more dishes soon! " (*Curated Review*)
