If u want deep curry masala this place is suitable. Else order separately items by items. But limited Vege items unless the Claypot mix deep curry masala.I see they are specifically good in all mix curry and masala. The Mutton masala is a good one.

First visit—avoided all this while after hearing bad reviews. Ordered chicken Thiruvilla sappadu, surprisingly awesome. Just cabbage and chicken curry but worth it. Hard to find good chicken curry—no heavy masala smell, chicken was tender. Morru ice was really good.

First time visiting kaara saram here. Tried thiruvizha sappadu ( mutton ), portion was large enough for 2 people. Taste wise, the mutton was perfectly cooked and soft, spices were finely blended. Apart from that, masala tea was good especially spice and sweet were in balance. Overall, service was excellent.
