What people say, in short
Copra is a modern South Indian restaurant on Fillmore that many diners recommend, with one commenter praising its hard-to-find Keralan cooking and others calling the food innovative and authentic. Fans also like the vibe and say it works for kids, though walk-ins at opening are one way around hard-to-get reservations. Some visitors find it average or overrated, one diner calls it pricey, and another notes the food is spicy enough that spice-averse children may struggle.
