    Great food, really fresh and authentic. Some unusual dishes to try also. Recommend the samosa chaat and Dosa in particular. We ate early on a Monday evening so it was rather quiet, hence only 4 stars for atmosphere. Highly recommended overall.

    Kotaram is a place that instantly makes you feel at home with its warm hospitality and inviting atmosphere. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, adding to the overall charm of the restaurant. The ambience strikes a perfect balance between chic and cosy, making it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Over my three visits, I’ve tried a variety of dishes, including crab, chicken masala, tandoori chicken starters with parotha, traditional paneer sabji (polichathu), and medu vada—each one prepared with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavour. The consistency in quality and taste is impressive, and the attention to detail in every dish makes the experience even better. Whether you’re craving bold spices or comforting classics, Kotaram never disappoints. OH ALMOST FORGOT, they have the best mango lassi ever!!!!
