The popularity of authentic Kerala food is evident from the line of people patiently waiting for a table at Ente Keralam. The interiors are muted and the display shows off the typical sights of the Kerala. Ente Keralam became one of the best fine dining Keralian restaurants that bridged the gap between luxury star properties and hole in the wall establishments across the city. Perfect for dates and intimate gatherings with friends or family is this buzzy Keralian-style diner in Alwarpet.
Rice & Ragi Puttu
The cylindrical-shaped Puttu is a South Indian dish made with ground rice and coconut. Puttu at Ente Keralam is one item that should not be missed. From pineapple to beetroot or just the usual rice or ragi Puttu, the Ente Keralam promises a wide selection of Kerala’s most favourite breakfast dish, including a chocolate dessert variant.
Malabar Konchu Porichathu
The taste buds that got soothed by Puttu suddenly got activated by the spicy Malabar Konchu Porichathu, which in turn brought all the senses alive. Good for sharing is the Malabar Konchu Porichathu with an intense in-your-face spice that goes well with the soft and juicy deep fried prawns.

Three or four gashes on both sides of the fish not only enables the masala to seep through, but also make it easy to devour the spicy, steaming fish.
