Spice lovers, this is your heaven! I live in Dubai and eat out often, but Cochin Harbour’s starters really stood out. The Kanthari Dry Fry Chicken was 🔥🔥🔥—perfectly cooked and seriously spicy! And the Podi Chicken had that punchy South Indian masala you don’t find everywhere. If you love bold flavors, this place delivers.

Best Kerala seafood starters in Karama! As a seafood addict, I’ve tried prawns everywhere in Dubai, but the ones at Cochin Harbour are next level. The Prawns Fry was crispy outside, juicy inside, and full of coastal flavor. I paired it with appam and it was just perfect. Highly recommend this place if you're around Karama.

Great place for a casual food date I took my girlfriend here for a quick dinner and we ended up ordering 5 starters! The Chicken 65 was super crunchy and flavorful, and she loved the Honey Glazed Chicken. It’s cozy, clean, and budget-friendly too. Definitely coming back again.

Tastes like my Ammachi’s cooking! It’s rare to find Kerala food that feels this authentic outside Kerala. The Podi Chicken and Kanthari Fry reminded me of what my grandma used to make back home in Alappuzha. Thank you, Cochin Harbour, for bringing those memories back!
