" Absolutely loved the food here! The seafood platter was incredible, so fresh and flavorful, easily a 10/10. We also tried the Thalassery chicken biryani, and it was the most authentic and delicious I've had. The appam and mutton stew were equally amazing, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Highly recommend! "

" We recently visited Tender Coconut and really enjoyed our meal. We tried both the Kanthari Fish and Veg Thali - both were tasty and had a good variety of dishes. The restaurant has a nice ambience and feels very clean and well-kept. It was our first time hearing about this place, and honestly, it deserves more attention. We'll definitely be coming back! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5. Recommended dishes: Seafood Platter, Non Veg Thali. "
