The Gokul Oottupura,Kadavanthra Kaloor road,Kochi/Cochin


Haven’t yet decided where to spend the next eatout with friends/family?.Read down,may be it will help.
The Gokul Oottupura,
Kadavanthra Kaloor road,
kochi
Agreed Kadavnthra  Kaloor road is one of the finest strech of road you will find in kochi.And exactly because of that you have a fair chance of missing The Gokul Oottupura restaurant.I mean no one is to blame when finally your vehicle gets a chance to reach the fourth gear and well past the city limit of 60km/hr in Kochi.Its natural.
So first of all THE LOCATION.
The Gokul Oottupura is situated in Kadavanthra, at the begining of Kadavanthra  Kaloor road.From Kadavnthra to Kaloor its on the right side of the road and near to the Akshay hospital.You will miss it in a blink if you are riding/driving fast.So my advice is drive/ride slow and don’t blink.
THE MENU CARD.
Variety food in offering,but  South Indian in particular.Sad part for non veggies out there.Its a vegeterian restaurant.But I think ones in a while the non veggies should give a break to the chicken and try this for a change.The food is really good and The whole food making process happens with in your view (They have an open kitchen).More than enough waiters to serve. The waiters even though are busy serving various dishes to its customers happily finds time in between to admire the beautiful ladies,having good time at their dining table (which may annoy some.defenetly annoyed me.admiring part was my job).
I am a perfectionist when it comes to Ghee roast and quite proud to say that i review a restraunt by the ghee roast they serve.So i didn’t change my habit here too.Orderd a Ghee roast and a tea later.
I got my Ghee roast  in about twenty minutes of ordering.First I thought why the delay?.Then i got my answer.The place is not a fast food joint.Gokul Oottupura is meant to chill.So just relax ,the delay is deliberate.But the guy next to me didn’t get that point well and made it clear to the unlucky waiter passing by in loud if not screaming tone of voice
AMBIENCE
True traditional kerala Tea Shop style with features like long bench and desk.The  wall paintings and  perfect lighting makes your mind calm and heart on  relax mode,no matter how tensed you are at that moment.So its basically a chayakkada look alike but safety ,hygiene and security at par with excellent restaurants in Kochi.
FAMILY ROOM has tables for four and seemed a bit too congested to me.But i guess its not a problem ,for most families are calm,quiet and mind their own business.Unlike college students like us,who scream for attention even for having a meal.But trust me both categories can co-exist and dine at Gokul Oottupura.
THE BILL PLEASE.
Haven’t told you the best part of the story.Finish the snack and order for the bill.Had to admit,was amazed.It just cost me 23 bucks for the tea and Ghee Roast and not to mention the one hour headache that we caused to the decent customers.
THE FINAL VERDICT
I give 9 out of 10 for The Gokul Oottupura,and not ten because no good reviewer gives full marks.
So next time if you are at Kadavanthra and feels like having a veg meal/snack.Try Gokul Oottupura.Trust me,its worth a visit.
