What people say, in short
Salkara's Kochi-area recommendations are pooled on its Athani restaurant, with the airport-area outlet repeatedly mentioned. One airport-area diner recommends fish mango curry with appam or porotta, while other commenters pick mutton biryani and irachi chor without tying them to that outlet. The praise is tempered by complaints about service, sweet curries and an unsatisfying online order.
