  “We had a wonderful experience at Chaya Kadayi, East Ham. The service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and attentive, especially Surya and another staff member from Malappuram (I think his name was Latheef). The traditional tea was amazing—its rich texture and flavour were simply marvellous. We ordered the Mathi and Pothi Porotta, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The food presentation was excellent, and we didn't have to wait long for our order. The restaurant was clean, spacious, and well maintained. I also requested some hot water because of my sore throat, and they kindly served me jeera (cumin) water instead, which was a thoughtful gesture that I really appreciated. A huge thank you to the chef behind these delicious dishes. Your cooking was exceptional, and every bite reflected your skill, passion, and dedication. We truly enjoyed the food and appreciate all the hard work that goes into preparing such authentic and tasty meals. Thank you to the entire team for your warm hospitality and excellent service. Wishing you all the very best for the future. Keep up the fantastic work!”

Their signature dishes truly stood out — rich in taste, perfectly spiced, and deeply satisfying. The warm hospitality and homely ambience made the dining experience even better. A wonderful place for anyone who loves genuine Kerala cuisine. Highly recommended!”

  “Had a wonderful experience at Chayakada eastham! The food was authentic, delicious, and full of Kerala flavors. A special thanks to Zalman for the outstanding service. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. His professionalism and positive attitude truly enhanced our dining experience. It’s rare to find such excellent customer service these days. Highly recommend Chayakada for anyone looking for great Kerala food and warm hospitality. Thank you, Zalman, for making our visit memorable! Wanted to leave another review specifically to recognize Zalman for his outstanding customer service. He consistently goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. His friendly attitude, professionalism, and attention to detail truly make a difference. Staff like Zalman are a big reason why customers keep coming back to Chayakada. A real asset to the team!”

  “We went here recently and was served by Aaditha who explained everything and gave us an excellent fast service. We went for the vegetarian set buffet (this is only currently available between 12pm-3pm) which had all homely cooked food and everything was so tasty. This is the first time we have visited a Kerala restaurant anywhere with a vegetarian buffet service and we weren’t disappointed!! You can also order non veg add-ons with the vegetarian buffet a selection of prawns fry, beef roast , squid and fish fry (see menu in photo) which are on display with masala already on it ready to be cooked fresh within 10 minutes of ordering it. You can choose between 2 types of rice with the vegetarian buffet - basmati or matta rice. Payasam is also available with the buffet or other desserts are available on the menu if you prefer. The food was very tasty and delicious overall. This restaurant must be visited if you love your authentic Kerala food with fast efficient service from the staff. The atmosphere is very cosy with plenty of seating at the rear of the restaurant. The only downside is the location as it is in a busy high street and car parking is a problem as it is all residential parking only but we managed to find a paid parking bay to a road adjacent to the restaurant. Apologies for not taking any photos of our dining experience as we were so hungry to tuck into our food!! Thank you guys for a wonderful service and a memorable experience and compliments to the chefs !!”

  “We had our son's First Holy Communion reception with 60 guests. We spent there from 6:30 to 10:30 in the evening. With the help of the friendly staffs you can make your own party. Atmosphere of the party hall is peaceful and enjoyable. Foods are delicious and the service standards are very good.”

  “I visited the restaurant last night (22/05/2026). This has always been our regular spot because the food is usually excellent. Even though it takes us almost an hour to get there, we still make the trip because we know it’s usually worth it. Unfortunately, yesterday’s experience was very disappointing. Something clearly went wrong with the food quality. The food that was served wasn’t fresh and it was definitely given to us after reheating. 1. It was very obvious that the porotta had been reheated on the thava before being served. Reheated porotta becomes hard and difficult to chew within a few minutes, and that was exactly the case. 2. The shawaya chicken we ordered also seemed to have been reheated in the oven rather than freshly prepared. When fried chicken is reheated this way, it turns dry and hard, which is what we experienced. 3. We specifically asked for fresh juice with NO ICE, but we got it with plenty of ice put in!!!! Any decline in food quality is always noticeable, especially at a place we visit regularly. Overall, the quality of the food was very poor this time, and we left dissatisfied. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and improves the quality going forward.”

  “This restaurant is a gem for anyone craving authentic South Indian food and a proper cup of chai. The warm, rustic decor and nostalgic ambiance. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. Portion sizes are generous, and the prices are surprisingly affordable for the quality and experience. Whether you’re dropping by for a quick evening tea or a filling meal, Chai Kadai delivers on all fronts — taste, value, and atmosphere. A perfect spot to relax with friends or family while enjoying soul-comforting food and nostalgic South Indian vibes. Highly recommended”
