We had such a lovely meal tonight 09/08/21. The waiter, we didn't catch his name, but he was so lovely and polite and really helpful and attentive. Perfect service, great food, very reasonably priced, we would go again! Don't be put off by the poor decor and outer appearance and go inside for some great food!!
One of the best South Indian restaurants in Bedford. It serves a variety of options including vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. The theme is Kerela based and the ambience is really good with pictures and paintings depicting Bharat. Must try the fish recipes and the variety of dosas as well.Food: 4/5
Reasonably priced, decent decorations liked the Christmas lights!, very professional service, absolutely mouthwatering food. Thanks for offering authentic South Indian food at Bedford. Thanks for having us. NB- to book the table, call them directly. Online booking option was showing later time.. but they were able to accommodate us earlier than that.
Incredible authentic India food, the kindest staff and a warm, inviting, friendly atmosphere
Well where do I start with my review of The Cochin Restaurant? Firstly having never dined there before we were not sure what to expect. We had only read reviews on TripAdvisor and Google which had been very complemently about the food and service so we wanted to give it a try. We had a table booked for 2 at 8.30, and we were met at the door and shown to our table by the window by a very pleasant waiter. He prompty brought over our menus, and we began to peruse through. The menu had a extensive selection of fish dishes which pleased me as I love fish, so I felt spoilt for choice as my expectations grew. The waiter was very attentive and informal and very knowledgeable about the dishes on their menu, and was happy to answer any questions we had. I finally settled on the fishermans soup for starter. Sadly this was a big let down! Very watery, no depth of flavour and next to no fish in an actual fish soup!!! My friend ordered the minty chilli prawns, the sauce which coated the prawns was tasty and zingy and the prawns cooked nicely however sadly the portion size and presentation was disappointing. Both starters seemed to arrive very quickly after ordering, which was a surprise. It seemed to me they had just been warmed through and thrown onto a plate. For my main course I ordered the mixed seafood curry which consisted of King fish,squid,prawns and mussels cooked in authentic Kerala special spice mixed sauce. The fish was cooked perfectly and the earthy Kerala special spice mixed sauce was the perfect accompaniment to the fish. Sadly the squid was over cooked and rubbery which was the only negative aspect to the dish. My friend odered the kuttanadan duck roast which consisted of slices of duck cooked in thick roast gravy sauce. The sauce had a lovely velvety rich flavour to it however the duck itself was a big let down as sadly it was tough and chewy. All in all some postives but also some negatives. If this was a school report it would probably read, 'tries hard but can do better'!!!
No kingfisher or Tiger beer when ordering.Had the fish curry,asked for it to be Madras strength but ended up slightly mild.Nice texture and flavour and the staff very pleasantFood: 3/5
It is one of the finest authentic South Indian Restaurant. The food was really delicious. Especially lamb coconut fry with paratha must try combo.Recommended dishesLamb Coconut Fry
The best south Indian food in the town. Having real authentic indian taste in food. The quick food service and staff is very good and friendly. They offered extra saambhar and chutney free of charge. Must visit this place. Vegetarian options: Lots of Vegetarian options available Parking: Paid parking available near the restaurant Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible and helpful staff
Recently ordered crab curry served with lemon rice. Taste heavenly! So happy we don't have to be always in London to get a high quality of food! _________ Delicious South Indian cuisine in Bedford. My favourite so far. Each dish tastes differently & delicious. Will coming back again. Highly recommended!
Don't be put off by the unassuming exterior as inside is a culinary gem with delicious flavours of Kerala. My starter was Chicken Ulatarthiyathu - lovely juicy cubes of chicken cooked in turmeric water, then stir fried with pepper powder, curry leaves and coconut slivers. The chicken was lovely and tender, there was a good amount of heat and there was the lovely taste of coconut highlighting the dish. For my main I had the Lamb & Spinach Curry. The lamb was lovely and tender - and plenty of it - in a thick complex masala sauce with a lovely hint of cashews. The Okra masala was the best I've ever tasted and the okra still had a crunch to it. The tamarind rice was lovely and a nice change and the paratha was absolutely delicious. The wines were a very reasonable price - our Chilean Merlot was only £14.95 - and we were served water without having to ask. The service was excellent, the cooking was fantastic and with the recent events in Kerala you should go and show support for such a different part of India - and I managed to park right outside. I cant wait to return and try more of the excellent food.
