Cochin Fort in Nottingham

I had high expectations based on the reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The service was slow, and the staff seemed unorganized, and a couple of dishes were served cold. While the ambience was pleasant, it didn't make up for the overall experience.

Food was amazing. Kiran did a good service. Was really amazing.

Overpriced for the quantity and quality served. The environment wasnt great. Other tables were left with the food plates and left over food not cleared, through out the time we were there. So was very suffocating with the food smell through out while we had food. First time we saw the tables not cleaned and cleared even an hour after customers who used them left. Not at all professional.

Got a takeaway from here, and wow, the food was fantastic. It's a shame am just visiting the area, or this would be my go-to Indian

Experience was so good…. Big fan of paal parotta❤️

love from leicester 😇🥰 great food 😋

A truly delightful dining experience, with impeccable service.

Visited today, food was really nice and hospitality also good , i think they could reduce waiting time for the food . Overall perfect and will visit again.

Good food, friendly staff and affordable.

Nice food. Must try. Friendly owner and staff. Really a family-friendly indian restaurant.

The food and ambience was very good and the service by Kiran was beautiful and pleasant

We had our work Christmas lunch here and it was delicious! Great atmosphere, fantastic food. Took quite a long time to come out, but it was worth the wait. Got beer from a shop nearby, the mango lassi was great and the masala dosa a show stopper! Highly recommended.

Kiran was a great person at our service and the food tasted great!

honestly. I’m very picky with restaurants because the restaurants in the UK are mostly bland. but this is the best indian food i’ve had in the UK. perfect spice in every dish and perfect service. felt like the food was homemade

Delicious South Indian food👌 Good Services. Hygienic place 👍

Really good food. Great service. Small homely restaurant.

Went for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised. Food is very authentic and good value for money. Very attentive manager and we will be looking forward to return soon to try more Kerala dishes.

The best dosa I've had in Nottingham. Flavours here are exceptional.

Such a cosy place and great food for great prices too!! The food was authentic and the atmosphere really felt like being back in south India/ srilanka!!

Highly recommend all food here especially palporotta ,it was very nice and with authentic taste .good service and calm atmosphere with nice music .

Kiran your service was realy nice and the way you treat the custumers and the presentation of food was superb.

“I recently dined at Fort Cochin and had a great experience! The menu offers a fantastic variety, with something for everyone, and the food was delicious—fresh and flavorful. The standout of my visit was Kiran, who provided excellent service, making sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. If you’re in Cochin Fort and looking for a spot with good food and friendly service, this is definitely a place to try!”

Finest Kerala dining in Nottingham. Authentic and consistent taste of dishes. Been a regular customer for more than a year. This place is really good if you’re missing your homely taste!

"We had an incredible experience at Cochin Fort Resturant. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a modern yet cozy vibe. Every dish was beautifully presented, and the flavors were outstanding—especially the grilled Chicken, which was tender and perfectly seasoned. The service was impeccable; Specially Mr Kiran was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, making thoughtful recommendations. He recommended Paal porotta with beef and Grilled Chicken to us. It was simply Awesome. Thanks to Kiran. Prices were reasonable for the quality, making it a wonderful value. Highly recommend for a memorable meal!"

What an amazing restaurant specialising in South Indian 🇮🇳 Cuisine. Lovely selection of dosa, biryani, fish and meat curries.

Located on the Alferton Road, Cochin Fort is an Indian restaurant that offers authentic Kerala cuisine. We parked at one of the adjacent streets. The staff were friendly and service prompt. The menu has an excellent spread of cuisine from the South Indian state of Kerala, particularly known for its seafood and use of coconut. All the dishes we ordered were excellent and definitely value for money. I would recommend this place based on the quality of food to all aficionados of Kerala cuisine and people who haven't tried this before for the unique and distinct flavours of this cuisine.

Amazing food, great service, great atmosphere !

Never have I had a more pleasant meal. Kiran was so polite and helpful, going above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Thanks Ķiran for the wonderful care given to me.

Lovely staff and great products

My go-to Indian takeaway for authentic South Indian cuisine in Nottingham. Biryani and Masala Dosa are both a speciality which I would highly recommend from this restaurant.

Disappointing Experience with My Biriyani Order Last night(14/10/2024) I ordered biriyani from your restaurant,(Cochin fort)and I must say, I’m extremely disappointed with the experience. The portion size was shockingly small for the price I paid. The biriyani was served in a very small box, which felt more like a snack-sized serving rather than a meal. Given the high price, I expected a lot more in terms of quantity. This is not what I expected when ordering from a reputed restaurant like yours. Please address this issue, as it feels unfair to charge so much for such a small portion. I hope you reconsider your portion sizes to better match the pricing.

Super Service lovely staff and excellent food

Delicious and tasty foods. Fare price

We had a fantastic dining experience! The food was excellent, with the Chilli Paneer being a real standout—deliciously flavorful. The Masala Dosa was also a delight, nice and crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside, just like you get in India. The service was great, and Kiran, our server, was incredibly friendly and attentive. I had some special dietary requirements, and they were fulfilled perfectly, which I truly appreciated. The only small feedback would be to add a bit more flavor to the Sambar, but everything else was spot on. Highly recommended!

Decent place for dine-in with good homely taste :) Tandoori chicken must try🤗

The food is delicious and the staff are always helpful in Nottingham. Try something different and a real hidden gem.

The place used to be good. I used to go there regularly. However after the shop extension, the price went up phenomenally and customer service is not up to par.

Any Toddy is available there????

Muthu Bro’s porota and Egg burji was very nice and mind blowing.

kiran was so nice. v good service

Kiran was great, and so was the food. Lovely

Kiran gave a great service, really nice guy and the food was amazing. Definitely recommend.

Authentic kerala style food at reasonable price especially “paal porota”.

Ordered butter chicken, king fish curry, lamb kottu. Food was delicious and portions were generous. Friendly staff. Spice can be adjusted to match preference if asked for.

We tried seabass pollichad and paal porotta.it was very tasty and highly recommended this place

We had the best Onam Sadya here. Friendly staff and awesome food. Highly recommend.

The food was top notch but the service could've been better.

Waste experience ever had. Customer service is too bad. 2 times I found hair in the food. Food might be tasty but the quality of the food is not . Not recommend to anyone.

Very good food Pal poratta With beef was delicious -highly recommended Chicken Biriyani was also nice.

Such delicious food and lovey staff,

Food was first class, worth the money best treat at reasonable price. 🙏

Kiran bro was so helpful and friendly. I always recommend this restaurant to have the best Kerala cuisine 😍😍

Very nice food overall. Would recommend

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a remarkable Kerala restaurant in Nottingham that I would highly recommend. The food was exceptional, with authentic flavors that truly captured the essence of Kerala cuisine. Portions were generous, ensuring a satisfying experience, and the service was attentive and friendly, contributing to a warm and inviting atmosphere. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking quality Kerala cuisine in Nottingham

Most delicious food. Must try 😁😁😁

Visited this restaurant on 28/8/24 with my family. All of us are fully satisfied with the customer service, food and ambience of this Kerala cuisine restaurant. I highly recommend this place..🙂

Excellent food, staff were nice! Service was quite slow (I think it was around an hour before we got our mains), and the menu could have done with a bit more information to explain some more unusual dishes. The atmosphere was not great - the seating was mostly empty but with a family with young children, lots of deliveroo drivers popping in and out etc., there was intermittent loud noise. It is situated on the main road, and so parking is limited.

The Chatti chor was from was really good! Highly recommend!! We also tried fish kappa which also soo good !!

Cochin Fort Restaurant provides a fantastic Kerala dining experience with its warm ambiance and flavorful dishes. I tried the Beef Fried Rice and Chicken Dosa, both of which were outstanding. The beef was tender and well-seasoned with traditional Kerala spices, while the dosa was crispy and filled with delicious, spiced chicken. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic Kerala cuisine.

Food was really nice and it was served hot and spicy. The staffs were friendly and served food without making delay. The prices were less affordable,it is one of the best south Indian restaurant in Nottingham ,i recommend people to visit this restaurant.

Very tasty South Indian food Great service

Wrong order sent! I refused to accept. I rang restaurant to complain and they are claiming that food will be resent. Let us await developments. Two hours later the restaurant re-sent me the proper food order. This time they bypassed Uber Eats whose fault it was in the first place that their courier totally mishandled my order. The food was excellent: piping hot, tasty, authentic.

The food was very good, highly recommended

What an insult to South Indian food to say the least . The portion was little and it was even overpriced ! I wouldn’t recommend this place .. there is better places to eat like dosa wala and chutney dosa .. our evenin out today was so ruined it’s not even funny . Don’t waste your money here just don’t

Great ambience with very friendly staff and tasty food.

Fantastic food!! Being from Cochin and having most days, a kerala food, this one was absolutely delicious!!

The fish biryani was good, five good pieces of prawn. But could have had less oil and white rice mixed with biryani rice

Nice and cozy place to dine in. The food served is really authentic and tasty food. I had ordered a soya roast today which was really delicious.

I ordered chicken biryani butter chicken and rasyam i can feel real authentic indian flavour realy maza agya.

The Indian cuisine was delectable, albeit slightly exceeding its value in terms of cost.

Ordered chicken biriyani, one of the worst biriyani ever

service is too slow need to wait for at lest 30 minutes after order

Nice place to enjoy the South Indian food with family

The food is amazing and the staff are lovely. It was an extremely pleasant experience and I definitely recommend.

Ordered a masala dosa and it was combo blend of crispy, golden-brown and mix of spiced potato filling. The combination of these spices was just right, making it a satisfying and tasty meal.

Variety of delicious dishes and good atmosphere for dine in
