“I had the pleasure of enjoying a beautifully prepared fish dish, and I must say, the chef truly knows their craft. The fish was cooked to perfection — moist, flaky, and seasoned just right to enhance its natural flavor without overpowering it. Every bite was fresh and flavorful, with a delicate balance of herbs, spices, and a touch of creativity that elevated the whole experience. The presentation was elegant, and it was clear that attention had been paid to both taste and detail. Whether you’re a seafood lover or trying fish for the first time, this dish is a must-try. Compliments to the chef for such a memorable meal ❤️❤️ u can ask there chef Sini special alappi fish pollichathu❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you chef and thank you alappi❤️”

“I ordered one Pothi Biriyani and one Pothi Chor for lunch today, and I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the food. The taste was very awkward and unpleasant. There was no proper masala or spices, and the biriyani had almost no flavor at all. The presentation was also very poor—the banana leaf was torn, which made the food look unhygienic and careless.”

Order fish. For a first visit, ask about fish pollichath or meen curry; these are among the dishes reviewers return to most often.
Try jackfruit. Chakka puzhuk is a useful regional pick, especially paired with fish curry for the combination reviewers praised.
Allow time. Leave extra time for dining in, since one recent review says orders are cooked one by one and service is slow.
Check orders. When ordering biriyani or takeaway, confirm the dish before accepting it; one customer received fried rice instead of mutton biriyani.
Plan parking. If driving, allow time to find a space because a reviewer specifically flagged limited parking around the restaurant.
Choose appam. Appam has been praised for its crisp-and-soft texture, though another review found the batter insufficiently fermented, so expectations may vary.
Plan the visit
Several recent reviews report long waits, with dishes cooked one by one and sometimes arriving cold.
A recent customer said food quality had dropped sharply and that the meal seemed reheated rather than fresh.
Reviews mention wrong dishes, forgotten orders and extras appearing on the bill.
One reviewer found the masala dosa soft rather than crisp and felt the batter lacked the traditional urad dal character.
Parking can be difficult, with one reviewer describing it as limited and expecting a wait.
The Bottom Line
Alleppey Cuisines LLC is a Kerala-focused South Indian restaurant in Al Qusais, with an Indian–Arabic fusion description and a menu that gives regional cooking centre stage. The clearest reasons to visit are dishes such as fish pollichath, meen curry, chakka puzhuk and appam. Reviewers also mention fish mango curry, squid roast, mutton roast and kadalkootu, so this is a place for exploring beyond standard South Indian staples.
The strongest feedback is about flavour and familiarity. Pazhamkanji was described as fresh, simple and homemade, while chakka puzhuk with fish curry brought back memories of home for another diner. The setting is generally described as cozy, clean and family-friendly; nostalgic Malayalam songs and generous portions add to that appeal.
Several customers also found the meals affordable. Service is less consistent than the food reviews. Some diners report warm hospitality and attentive checks, but others describe long waits, wrong dishes, forgotten orders and billing extras.
A recent review also alleged reheated, non-fresh food, suggesting quality may vary by visit. If you drive, plan around limited parking, and confirm takeaway orders carefully. For a first meal, fish pollichath or chakka puzhuk with meen curry are sensible starting points.
