Eli's Kitchen - Mahabalipuram

Went to this restaurant on 5th Jan for lunch. The place is awesome. An ideal place to relax on a Sunday. Eli comes to the table with all the items she can serve you for the day. Good taste good and really homely. Served beer.The portions were decent. The prawns was lovely. 3 little more than medium sized prawns came with Chattichooru. At Rs 600 we felt it was over priced.We ordered a fish curry meal, beef cutlet, pork , chicken Biryani, pasta veg , non beg pizza and vattappam with mutton stew. We enjoyed the food and the experience.Like I mentioned before the price is slightly high. However, hats off to Eli who does the cooking herself and she ensures we get home cooked fresh food.

Amazing food by the Chef who loves cooking. Such a peaceful place. I would visit as often as I could.<br/ We ordered a in-house wine and a cocktail orange flavour with whiskey. Which was amazing.<br/ Followed by our prawn with rice, fish fry and squid masala. Every single dish was exceptional.<br/ And to top all of these came the banana chocolate pancake, an Irish cream cheese cake.<br/

Everything is great at Eli’s. The food, the care and warmth.

A gem in mahabalipuram<br/ <br/ Discovered this place on Zomato and decided to visit. From the time we stepped in it felt we were at home with the personalized hospitality and most importantly the non hurried atmosphere...<br/ <br/ The place is spacious and got an 80s vibe to it... From the Friends episode posters to the music, the hanging seashell windchimes, relaxed couches, books etc..you actually forget after some time where you are.. Eli is personally there cooking in the background... So you really feel you are at a friends place rather than a restaurant... It is interesting to hear her story and her journey... Adds that extra zing to the experience....<br/ <br/ We ordered the chilly beef, prawns with rice, chicken in mushroom sauce and finally the Irish cream cheesecake... All the dishes were yummy... The chicken in mushroom sauce was especially yum and so creamy....we also had the gooseberry home made wine... A must have...<br/ <br/ When here in Mahabalipuram, Eli's kitchen deserves a visit... A place where you dont need to play by the restaurant rules and yet get yummy food....<br/ <br/ Happy eating!!!

The owner is very friendly and ensure that you are served hot fresh food. Do call her in advance to find out what the day's special is, which is basically the catch of the day. The homemade banana and grape wine tasted amazing. She also makes authentic kerala delicacies including pork. The desserts can be improved though.
