Midday Mangroves Restaurant is truly a hidden gem near the Kumbalam Toll Plaza in Kochi. This charming spot, with its picturesque lake view, is a perfect destination for anyone seeking authentic Kerala seafood. Here's our detailed review: Food: 1/2 Midday Mangroves serves up some of the most delightful Kerala seafood dishes. We tried the Prawns Roast, Kalanji Pollichathu, Choora Mulakittath, Chicken 65, and meals. Each dish was bursting with flavor, making it a memorable culinary experience. There are also other enticing options like Fish Nirvana, Chemmeen Vada, Paal Konju, and Paal Kappa available for pre-order. Do keep in mind that it's better to pre-order your food as the preparation takes around 30 to 45 minutes. Ambience: The ambience at Midday Mangroves is nothing short of spectacular. The serene lake view, especially in the afternoon, offers a perfect backdrop for a relaxing meal and some lovely photos. According to the restaurant employees, the place tends to be busier in the evening, so visiting during the day might be ideal for a quieter experience. Service: 1/2 The service at Midday Mangroves is decent, though there is room for improvement. The staff is friendly and accommodating, but the wait time for food can be a bit long, which is why we recommend pre-ordering. Additional Information: Parking space is limited to 3 to 4 cars, so plan accordingly. Overall, this spot is a wonderful place to enjoy seafood with your family, thanks to its great ambience and delectable dishes. We will definitely go back to experience the evening vibe and also to try the Chemmeen Vada, which we missed by a whisker. Midday Mangroves is definitely worth a visit for seafood lovers and those who appreciate a great dining environment.
