We had a dine-in experience at Kalavara. The food was excellent, that is the reason I have given them five stars. The place is nice and clean with a simple setout. Chicken Pepper was excellent, and Kerala paratha was authentic. As good as it gets. We tried other South Indian dishes, and they were spot on. We did not try any North Indian Food, so we can't comment on it. They serve alcohol at the venue, and beers are priced between $6 to $8. Not too bad. We tried fish fry and it was lovely. A fried Indian Bangda cost us $6. I would revisit the place. The wait staff was friendly. The place is located in Browns plains and is open for lunch as well.

We’ve known about these guys for about 6 months now and first tried it out with their set menu on the weekends. It was a South Indian feast - truly delicious and homemade flavours! Following that we got them to cater for our baby shower/Diwali function at home and they delivered all items on time. All our friends raved about the food and still do! We went back again today and tried the Paal Porotta and Potti Sooru set. The paal porotta was something I had never seen or heard before and 100% recommend trying! If you need something to compare to, but maybe even a touch better (if I dare) … it’s like a Keralan lasagne 😁 a layer of gravy and meat of choice (I chose chicken), between two parottas, topped with some coconut milk and steamed/served in a bowl of banana leaves 🤤🤤🤤Hubby had the set meal and was truly satiated too - the mooru kolumbu was the standout. Best of all, the front of house staff (I think her name was Danya) was such a delight. She was so welcoming and had the best energy about the food and service. Thank you guys! Keep up the great job 🫡

My wife and I enjoyed a Keralan dinner at Kalavara Indian Cuisine on 4th January 2024. The dishes to go with our plain basmati rice were Kerala chicken roast and Fish molee. Both these dishes complemented each other and their taste was exquisite and authentic and a real treat to our seasoned palates. Our drinks were mango lassi and lime tea (Sulaimani). The wait staff were very polite and inviting and made our dining experience a delight. Thank you Dhanya, Matthews and Alna. No doubt, we will be returning to Kalavara to savour the other mouth-watering dishes on their menu.

Kalavara Indian Cuisine, located in Browns Plains, Brisbane, is an excellent spot for anyone craving authentic Kerala food. The restaurant is operated by a traditional Malayali family, and it consistently delivers rich and flavorful South Indian dishes. Popular items include appam, avial, and a variety of curries that showcase the bold use of spices typical of Kerala cuisine. The seafood options are also a standout, offering fresh, well-cooked dishes with distinct flavours The restaurant is known not only for its delicious food but also for its excellent customer service. The staff is warm, friendly, and attentive, creating a welcoming dining experience. However, due to its popularity, especially during busy hours like weekends, a waiting period is often expected. Making reservations or planning ahead can help avoid longer waits during peak times Despite any waiting time, the authentic flavors and exceptional service make the experience worthwhile, and the cozy atmosphere enhances the overall dining experience. Whether for dine-in or takeaway, Kalavara Indian Cuisine is a must-visit for lovers of South Indian food in Brisbane.
