They went out of their way to accommodate our requests and made the entire experience a joy. Highly recommend it. Price per person: ₹600–800 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
The ambience at Grand Hyatt Kochi was truly impressive – beautifully designed spaces with a calm, luxurious vibe. The view from the restaurant added to the relaxing experience. As for the food, it was decent but didn’t quite stand out. Some dishes were good, while others felt just average. Overall, a great place to enjoy the atmosphere, but I’d go with more realistic expectations on the food front.
This simple plate of food at Malabar Cafe was the star of our stay at Grand Hyatt Bolgatty, Cochin. I usually find a way to escape from a five-star hotel for my lunch and dinner for two reasons - one, I am not a big fan of buffets and random fusion food and two, I love to explore local regional cuisine. I am often surprised by how rarely a five-star hotel serves the regional food of the city they are based in. You will typically find Southeast Asian, Continental and more recently the addition of Mediterranean cuisine, but very rarely authentic local fare. After we checked in, my friends decided to stay back and have lunch at Malabar Cafe, while I planned to have lunch with Oneal, who had promised me a good local meal. Since my friends were hungry, they started eating and I stayed with them until Oneal came to pick me up. As they ate, I couldn’t resist nibbling on some things from their plates. Each morsel tasted better than the last and I slowly started regretting my plan to go out for lunch. However, I consoled myself, knowing I would be around for another two days. The food, prepared under the supervision of Chef Latha, who heads Malabar Cafe, felt like a home cooked meal. Every dish had its own unique flavour, made with the freshest ingredients, whether it was meat, seafood, vegetables or masalas. Chef Latha mentioned that the masalas were ground fresh every day, making each meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner an ode to Kerala food. Chef Kedar also gave me a tour of their kitchen and storage. For a hotel of that size, I was impressed by how well-organized they were, with hygiene being a top priority. Way to go, Grand Hyatt Bolgatty! Please continue serving regional food and bringing happiness to guests who travel from all over the world to experience the true flavors of Kerala.
