Kayees Hotel

The place is a joke.we went to have dinner at 8: 30 and all they had nothing except ghee rice and 100% arrogant behaviour. Never going back.

We ordered biriyani to take home, and it was scrumptious! Also had some beef roast as well. Great place to order from!

You don't go to Kayees for the atmosphere - you get your biriyani to go. As usual, the biriyani lived up to the Kayees name. Silky soft rice with big delicious chicken pieces. Go get some!

The Chicken biryani was Sub par, Malabar biryani with Basmati rice was not pleasant at all, the flavour was also bland, would not recommend the biryani here, as for the meals, it was okay, the service was quick enough, there is some waiting to get a table, the dining area and the handwashing area are clean. Parking sitch is problematic during rush hours.

Wonderful briyani in cochin town. Even though it was super crowded we managed to get seats in 20mins. Kudos to Management.

Was delicious taste with chicken biriyani. Not too spicy. My son is also like the food. Service was also good.
Good atmosphere.
In biriyani chicken is also soft and crispy and taste was also good.recommended to visit and take a good meal with delicious taste.

We've have rated them 5 stars several times years ago.
The Kayees standards bar was quite a raised one; on that front a lot of improvements will be needed.
I also have a Personal connection with them and hence not going below 3 stars. Rest I think I'll call the concerned person and speak privately.
Food is still absolutely fresh.

The main dish in this restaurant is chicken biryani, good not bad food items, friendly parking area for cars and bikes, very crowded at least waiting time 20 minutes for seats, moderate rate for food items

The kayees biriyani was a great biriyani once upon a time, with kaima rice and the smell of malabari masala. Now it lost the chemistry of authentic kayees may be compensate the inflating tomato price.

Basmati rice kochi style biriyani. Rich in ghee. But over priced. More expectation may make you disappoint.

Doesn't look like a restaurant, but has a very spacious yet crowded fooding experience. Very tasty biriyani. Must try!

Biriyani was good, malabar touch was there, but not the best in town
Chilli chicken not upto the rate
Too much waiting period
Not much parking space

My family and I have been to Cross Culture twice since it's opening. We have been pleased to find the dishes very good. We have ordered the Chicken Biriyani, Beef masala and Porottas which was wonderful tasting (although I would have loved more Gravy), the traditional biryanis and a vegetarian dish that I have forgotten the name of. We will definitely be heading there again soon.

Best known for their Biriyani and chicken fry. There are better biriyanis and better restaurants. But Biriyani lovers should try atleast once. Their ample parking space was not enough during peak times. Now dine in not allowed due to Covid restrictions. Take away only.

The chicken Biryani and chicken 65 dishes is a definite must have. Has good parking space. Currently the restaurant doesn't allow dine-in and only take away is allowed.

First visit today
Went with a lot of expectations
The food here is worth nothing for the Hype
Chicken biryani does not qualify for the name, was really hungry & getting late, hence it was consumed.
Chicken fry was moderate & very spicy, fried in red chilly powder

There are umpteen number of joints with better food, please try them

Famous for its Mutton Biryani. Soft juicy mutton is unmatched.chicken biryani is good but has competition from other nearby restaurants.

Ordered today with expextations. Worst biryani i had. Ful salty. Could not finish as it was full of salt ordibary chicken piece for 190 rs it is totaly feels cheating

Average Chicken biriyani. Served with 2 pieces of chicken, salad, tamarind chutney and lemon pickle. The rate is ₹190. Not worth the price.
Have parking inside. Take away only.

Biriyani was little bit salty. But tasty. I had a single biriyani.rice portion was more.and only 1 single small leg piece. Biriyani was tasty. Parcel packaging also good.

Deserve not even a single star! Wot a oola biriyani! Want to know whether it is cooked by bengali?

Very tasty food.unfortunately dining options is not available now due to the covid pandemic situation.but parcel service is available and nice experience.

Rs. 190/- for tasteless Chicken Biriyani (only 2 medium Broiler Chicken pieces, without a single piece of Cashewnut/Kismis. Boasting of High Tradition, Shame for Cochinites.

Loved chicken biriyani. As in house dining was not allowed owing to covid gathering prohibition orders got it packed.

They lost the old taste, I was a regular customer before lockdown, in that time chicken biryani 170 only. After the lockdown RS: 190.

We went to this restaurant before covid and my family loved their Biriyani, they wanted to try mutton/Goat biriyani, but it was over, high demand for this item. Very good flavor, quantity is just ok, cleanliness was there, staffs were really nice. I really love the smell of that biriyani especially during the lunch time. Give it try if you are in Ernakulam

Biryani is very tasty, and the price is also very reasonable. The biriyani rice has a variety taste

Had chicken biryani, neychor, mutton liver roast and mutton roast. Delicious food with sufficient quantity. Neat and clean atmosphere.

There is no comments on taste of the dishes.
I just need to point out what we experienced in terms of heigine during the visit.

We got 2 feather from the chicken biriyani, It should not be there in a reputed hotel like kayees. I doubt if they are properly cleaning the meat or not.

When we reported it to the manager, he was like so what we will change your plate and Biriyani. Even if they will change it what's the point? All the Biriyani made from the same Degchi

Awesome food.affordable price.good parking area (can accommodate around 10 cars easily). Usually crowded around lunch time.had to wait for 10 minutes to get a seat.
Recommended

Their biriyani with dates pickle is mouth watering. Liked their chicken fry too. Go for half biriyani if you can't eat in big quantity. Mutton biriyani is the most special one and don't forget to savour their lime tea.

Service was good. Clean washrooms. Ample parking space.

I had my Biriyani from kayees many times earlier. Yesterday I happened to be there. Their biriyani never used to be oily. The meat used to be so soft. The famous Kayees biriyani lost its uniqueness. They have to check the fundamentals.

Had mutton biryani from here. They are specialized in Biryani items. Nice ambiance for family. Sufficient car parking area. Waiting areas are spacious.

Nice biryani
But unfortunately I had a very bad experience when I ordered a fish fry. It was like the fish was in cold store for more that 6 months

Reported this to the waiter still nothing was taken care

Very tasty food with calm ambience. Mutton biriyani is the special item here, also tasted there special item mutton lever fry, tastes so good. Parking is also available.

Service is not so bad. You can take advantage of this restaurant for a hangout. Superb. This is just near to the T D hall besides to MG road. Just chechi it out and have fun. Foodies. This is an unexceptional place.

Kayers hotel is where you can get the authentic. Kayees biriyani. Alias Kyikkas biriyani. It's one of the authentic recipie from kochi originally from fort kochi. It's generations old Delicious recipe. Mild and smooth use of apices is the Speciality of this recipe where most biriyani recipes serve too spicy pr too hot{ (chilly) biriyani. It's a very delicate combination of spices cooked in our ghee.

It was excellent once but now flavour of main dish biriyani significantly down, also mutton/lamb biriyani not available all time which one is best dish for this place. Missing old 'kaikka' touch from biriyani.

Quite a disappointing fact that this restaurant now don't have that taste that it used to have a long ago. But still the services are very good. In a crowded city like Eranakulam where you'll find it difficult to park your vehicles while you go in a restaurant, this place has that comfortable facility for you as it has it's own parking place. The last time I was there I ordered mutton biriyani but it was quite disappointing as it didn't has it's old signature taste but I was very much satisfied by the service they provided us with.

Should go in time in the afternoon for mutton byriyani.ifbyou miss mutton byriyani should try mutton roast with porotta. Should visit their shop in mattancherry also.

Above average hotel that is always crowded. I head a lot about this place. I visited multiple times, but this is not my favourite place.

Kayees brand is a famous brand of hotel in Kochi, Kerala. They have extended their hotel business into Ernakulam by purchasing a huge building in the city heart of Ernakulam.
They provide very tasty nonvegan food especially Biriyani.

Great food and service. Ample parking space. Above all clean food and ethical people running the business. One of the very few places I trust to eat out in Cochin.

This place has good car as well as motorcycle parking facility. The restaurant has a good ambience. They offer chicken as well as mutton biriyani and other many other dishes. Their chicken biriyani is very tasty. They offer fresh juice. This famous biriyani of kochi is at a reasonable price. Enjoy with family and friends!

Their Mutton biryani had finished by the time we arrived but the Chicken biryani wasn't a disappointment. The rice was more ghee-y than moist. Definitely favoursome but not the best chicken biryani I've had.

The food here is good, especially their biryani. The chicken pieces were succulent. Would recommend to try get there before 2 p.m. To get biryani. It usually get over by 2.30 p.m.

മമ്മൂക്കയടക്കമുള്ള പല പ്രമുഖരുടെയും അതുപോലെ സോഷ്യൽ മീഡിയകളിലൂടെയും വർത്താമാധ്യമങ്ങളിലൂടെയും പലപ്പോഴും കേട്ടു കൊതിച്ചതാണ് കൊച്ചിയിലെ കായിക്കയുടെ ബിരിയാണിയുടെ രുചിപ്പെരുമ ഒന്ന് നേരിട്ടറിയണമെന്ന്. മുൻപ് ഒന്ന് രണ്ട് തവണ കഴിക്കാൻ ശ്രമിച്ചെങ്കിലും ഇന്നലെയാണ് സാധിച്ചത്.

കോഴിക്കോട് റഹ്മത്തിലെയും ബോംബെ ഹോട്ടലിലെയും പാരഗണിലെയുമൊക്കെ സ്ഥിരം സന്ദർശകരായ ഞാനും ചങ്കും വലിയ പ്രതീക്ഷയിലാണ് കായീസിൽ കയറിയത്. കൈതച്ചക്കയുടെ കൊത്തുകളിട്ട എറണാകുളത്തെ സാധാരണ ബിരിയാണികൾ മുൻപ് പലപ്പോഴും ഞങ്ങളുടെ രസമുകുളങ്ങളെ അങ്കലാപ്പിലാക്കിയിട്ടുണ്ട്.

നല്ല അന്തരീക്ഷമായിരുന്നു കായീസിൽ. ഒരു വലിയ വീട് പോലെ തോന്നിപ്പിച്ച മനോഹരമായ കെട്ടിടം. അകത്ത് തിരക്ക് അല്പം കൂടുതലായതിനാൽ ടോക്കൻ വാങ്ങി പുറത്തു സജ്ജീകരിച്ച കാത്തിരുപ്പുമുറിയിൽ ഇരുന്നു. ചുമരിൽ കായീസിനെ കുറിച്ചുള്ള ചരിത്രപരമായ പത്രലേഖനങ്ങളും എം എഫ് ഹുസൈൻ അടക്കമുള്ള പല പ്രമുഖരുടെയും
അഭിപ്രായങ്ങളും മറ്റും കണ്ട് ശരിക്കും ത്രില്ലടിച്ചു.

സമയമായപ്പോൾ അകത്തു കയറി. ഓരോ ചിക്കൻ ബിരിയാണി വീതം ഓർഡർ ചെയ്തു. കോഴിക്കോടൻ ബിരിയാണികളിൽ നിന്നും വ്യത്യസ്തമായി നീളമുള്ള അരിയുടെ ചോറും ബ്രോയിലർ ചിക്കനും.

സ്ഥിരമായി നാട്ടിലെ ബിരിയാണിയുടെ രുചി അനുഭവിച്ച് ശീലിച്ചത് കൊണ്ടാണോ അതോ എറണാകുളത്തുകാരുടെ അത്ര ആസ്വാദനനിലവാരം ഞങ്ങൾക്കില്ലാത്തത് കൊണ്ടാണോന്നറിയില്ല രണ്ടു പേർക്കും ഒട്ടും ഇഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടില്ല. ബിരിയാണിയുടെ സവിശേഷതകളായി കണക്കാക്കപ്പെടുന്ന തരത്തിലുള്ള യാതൊന്നും അനുഭവപ്പെട്ടില്ല.

ഒരുപക്ഷേ കായിക്കയുടെ മാസ്റ്റർ പീസായിരുന്ന ആ യഥാർത്ഥ കൈപ്പുണ്യം ഇപ്പൊ നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കാം. അതല്ലെങ്കിൽ ശീലിച്ചു പോയ ഒരു രുചിശൈലിയിൽ നിന്നുള്ള മാറ്റം ഞങ്ങളുടെ നാവിന് തിരിച്ചറിയാഞ്ഞിട്ടാവാം.
