" When I walked into Kardamom Kitchen, I was immediately greeted with warm smiles. I ordered the chicken biryani and was pleasantly surprised at how rich and aromatic it was. The spices were on point, truly reflecting the essence of Kerala cooking. The service was quick and efficient. I would say the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you receive. I am already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has been to various South Indian restaurants across Canada, I have to say, my experience here was just okay. The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff is incredibly friendly, but I found the food quite average. The biryani was not as authentic as I had hoped, lacking the depth of spices you would typically find. However, it's nice to have this option in Hamilton, and perhaps I would give it another try with different menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" WOW! I was absolutely taken aback by the taste of the Kappa biryani here. It was savory, spicy, and had the perfect amount of heat. Each bite transported me back home to Kerala. The service was top-notch, my server was attentive and made great recommendations. I'd recommend the parippu vada as well; it was crispy and packed with flavor. Overall, an experience I won't forget anytime soon. Highly recommended for anyone missing authentic Kerala flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stop raving about the beef fry from Kardamom Kitchen! Rich, spicy, and a perfect companion to their ghee rice. The flavors really resonate with authentic Kerala cuisine. The service was quick, and the ambiance is very chill for a casual evening out with friends. It's definitely my new favorite spot, and I can't wait to try everything on their menu! Highly recommend this to anyone looking for genuine South Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the beef curry and ghee rice combo last week. The portion size was decent and very filling. The beef was fork-tender, which was a pleasant surprise! The spices were delicious, but the rice itself could use a bit more seasoning. I found the prices to be fair considering the quality and attention to detail in the preparation. I would recommend visiting if you're in the mood for some satisfying Kerala cuisine. " (*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*)
