Sruthi Hotel Varadoor, famous for pickles. is simply "pickled" !!!

Sruthi Hotel Varadoor, fails to Impress !!!





Sruthi Hotel in Varadoor, Kerala has been making quite a buzz on YouTube lately with many people raving about the delicious food and especially the pickles. However, after giving it a try myself, I have to say that I was quite underwhelmed with the experience.

Firstly, the pickles which are so hyped about were not as impressive as I expected. While they were good, they were not exceptional and certainly not worth all the hype. The range of pickles from orange peel to "eerkili" (coconut frond spine 😆) but from the ones that I tasted, I feel like they are all the same. Like in some hotels you can find the same gravy for egg and grams. Additionally, the "speed chammanthy" which is known for its spicy kick was way too hot and had an overpowering taste of pickled "kanthari" bird eye chillies.

Moving on to the mains, the fish fry was decent, but not amazing. The curries were also just average and did not stand out in any way. The quality of rice was particularly disappointing, as it was not cooked well and lacked flavor.

One thing that I did appreciate about the restaurant was the homely atmosphere. It had a very cozy and comfortable vibe, and the service was prompt and friendly. However, the food was not up to par with the expectations set by the many YouTube reviews that have been circulating.

In conclusion, while Sruthi Hotel Varadoor may have gained a lot of popularity on YouTube, I have to say that it is not worth the hype. The food is just average, and the quality of the rice was particularly disappointing. While the atmosphere is comfortable and the service is good, I would not recommend going out of your way to visit this restaurant. 

Location: Varadoor, Kerala, India

Andaman Tastalogue Part 2 : The Cellular Jail : Architecture and History

Image
 As I stepped into the Bangalore airport at 1:00 a.m., the excitement for my Andaman adventure was palpable. With a 4:30 a.m. flight to catch, I had some time to kill. Luckily, I had access to the airport lounge, courtesy of my credit card. The lounge was a haven, offering a peaceful atmosphere, internet access, and a delicious full-course dinner. Despite the satisfying meal, I still had a couple of hours to spare. As the flight preparations began, the lounge staff surprised me with a breakfast menu, which I eagerly devoured. Before I knew it, I was boarding the flight, and the two-hour journey to Port Blair flew by (literally!). As the plane took off, I dozed off instantly, only to wake up to the breathtaking sight of the sun rising over the Andaman Sea. Arrival in Port Blair As I stepped out of the Veer Savarkar Airport (formerly known as Port Blair Airport), I was struck by the simplicity of the surroundings. The airport, though small, was well-maintained, with a few shops ...

Fish Tadka - A Hidden Gem in Agumbe

Image
After driving up the winding roads that lead to Agumbe, you are greeted by lush green forests, glistening waterfalls, and mist-covered mountains. The scenery is so breathtaking that it feels like nature itself is welcoming you with open arms. However we had very low expectations of finding any good restaurants there, as the town was very small and had very less tourists during our time of visit. Despite being a tiny town, it has one of the best seafood restaurants I’ve ever visited — Fish Tadka. This restaurant is a hidden gem that surprised me beyond words with its incredible range of fish options. As soon as I entered the restaurant, the aroma of freshly cooked fish wafted through the air, and I knew I was in for a treat. The menu had a long list of fish options, from the classic fish fry to the famous ghee roast prawns. As a seafood lover, I was in heaven. The first dish I tried was the ghee roast prawns, and let me tell you, they were out of this world. The prawns were cooked to pe...
