I had always passed Abba by thinking it was rather touristy with its vast array of international cuisines on offer. How could any restaurant manage all that? However, Abba was always full, even in low season. Laid low for 2 days with a tummy bug and reading the positive reviews here, I decided to step over the threshold one evening.I... More

Really great selection of food....the Indian and continental dishes were all excellent. Great place for lunch and dinner, so much so that after trying other place we ended up alternating between Abba and cafe del mar every day!! Super friendly staff and free wifi, what more could you want!

If you want consistently good, healthy and clean food, this is the place. Breakfast, lunch, supper, you CAN count on being served faster than most places on the cliff and the food will be either good or better. No other place on the cliff I can say that about. Some have good dishes, then other dishes will make you run,... More

Why here when there are so many options on the cliff-side? 1. I am a staunch believer in word of mouth advice. This place was right there in everyone's tongue when I asked for good restaurants 2. It's an Off-season in Varkala when most restaurants show empty tables and no guests. This was one of the only few with almost... More

We chose this place because it was busiest on a quiet night. Enjoyed the Indian meal we ordered. Would like to try the German bread.

My husband and I kept finding ourselves coming back here.. even just to have a cocktail and read our books and hang out. The food was fantastic - excellent vegetarian options, everything always tasted delicious and fresh. I would highly recommend for any meal.

We tried a few of the restaurants and this was the best. Indian food was OK, not authentic south Indian food but the whole area has swayed to western tourism. Service was pretty good too. What stood out the most was their statement with regards to hygiene and organic produce.

During our Verkala trip, we visited this place twice for lunch. Located on the north cliff, you can enjoy the sea view with your food from this restaurant. Unique thing at his restaurant was the fast service. We had lunch and dinner at several places..price is almost same everywhere..food quality remains standard.. so the value add is service and sea...
