Kokonut Lagoon The Great Biriyani

Ordered mandi, but it didn’t taste like authentic mandi. The flavor was quite different from what we expected. The waiting time for parcel orders is minimum 30 minutes, which felt a bit long. Some dishes were good, especially the parotta with butter chicken. However, I do have some concerns about hygiene, which I hope the management will look into. Overall, an average experience with room for improvement.

I ordered Chicken Mandi and it was more of a ghee rice than a Mandi. There was a large piece of well cooked chicken leg piece but was tasteless. Over all things have to improve

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and their biriyani truly stood out. The aroma was inviting from the very first moment, with perfectly balanced spices that enhanced rather than overpowered the dish. The rice was cooked to perfection—fluffy, fragrant, and infused with rich flavors. The meat was tender, well-marinated, and complemented the biriyani beautifully. The portion size was generous, and it was served with traditional accompaniments that made the experience authentic. Service was prompt and courteous, and the ambience of the restaurant made it an enjoyable place to dine. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a flavorful and satisfying biriyani experience

We have had Chicken Briyani, Schezwan Chicken fried rice and mutton pepper fry. While ordering mutton pepper fry ,I specifically asked about the portion and requested to avoid at least half of the portion boneless. Chicken Briyani not tasted good. And in Mutton pepper fry there were only four pieces and all are with maximum amount of bones and the flesh portion was horrible...very hard. It would be good if they focus on the food taste and quality of the raw material.

went with my friends and we ordered Chicken Mandi for all and didn't like it. The rice felt like I was eating tasteless rice with some geera in it and was dry,a bit hard felt that they have given yesterdays rice in it and the chicken was not properly cooked . Also ordered chicken kondattam which was ok. Over all had a bad experience with the food 😞

A very good place to have value for money and budget meals. But sometimes a drop in cooking quality can be observed. Some days food is undercooked, and some days it is overcooked. This, they need to correct properly. Otherwise, it's a very good place. Sometimes it can be little crowded but overall, it is not crowded.

Chicken Briyani feel salty and no taste of briyani. Don't try. opposite RKD BRIYANI food truck afternoon only was better option..

Good food and service Had a Malabar dum biriyani and tender boost shake. Both were delicious.

The food tasted really good and the rates were reasonable. We ordered for fish and it was so fresh. I was informed that they don't freeze the meat/fish & buy it fresh every single day. The service extended by the staffs were commendable.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel, and I can confidently say it’s a hidden gem for anyone looking for halal, hygienic, and budget-friendly food. The highlight of my visit was their today’s special – Fish Alfaham. I’ve tried Alfaham in many places, but nothing comes close to the flavor and tenderness of what I had here. It was perfectly grilled, juicy, and surprisingly affordable for a sea fish dish. We also ordered Butter Naan and Butter Chicken, and they were equally impressive. The naan was soft and fresh, and the butter chicken had a rich, flavorful gravy that wasn’t overly heavy — just the right balance without that bloated feeling afterward. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall pleasant dining experience. If you’re someone who values taste, cleanliness, and affordability, this place should definitely be on your list. Highly recommended!

Very good food in affordable price .service so excellent...I strongly recommend to this place

Guys one of the Worst restaurants for Beef items, today I bought a parcel of Beef coconut fry, really its old (I think its yesterday cooked meat) cooked beef meat. Smell 🤮 is very bad and I returned to that restaurant cashier, he also checked and accepted its old one. And I scolded them and got back my money too. One of the Worst restaurants.
