On last saturday night had gone to Karavalli and it was a mistake from the start - the weather was really hot and sitting in a restaraunt which had pedestal fans meant the ambience was humid from the start. the service staff were courteous but we need to WAIT a lot for the starters & drink but munched on the free papads. the fish "meen pollichathu" was an apology and Kudla outclasses this any day - it was dry and tasteless. the chicken starter was outstanding. main course of hot appams and stew was decent. with drinks and desserts, the bill was 6k for 3. I won't be going here again.
