Posted on by admin

Nestled in the heart of Ras Al Khaimah, Thekkanchef Restaurant brings the rich, vibrant flavors of Kerala to the UAE. Our mission is to offer an authentic culinary experience that transports you straight to the lush landscapes and spice-laden air of God’s Own Country. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Kerala cuisine or a first-time taster, Thekkanchef promises a feast that delights the senses.

Discover the Essence of Kerala Cuisine

Kerala cuisine is renowned for its diverse and flavorful dishes, which are a true reflection of the region’s cultural heritage. At Thekkanchef, we specialize in Nadan foods, a term that denotes traditional Kerala home-style cooking. Our menu is a testament to the culinary artistry of Kerala, featuring an array of dishes that are rich in taste and tradition.

Signature Dishes

  • Appam and Stew: A quintessential Kerala breakfast, our appam (soft, fluffy rice pancakes) paired with a delicate, coconut milk-based vegetable or meat stew is a crowd favorite. The perfect balance of flavors makes it a delightful start to your day.

  • Puttu and Kadala Curry: Another breakfast staple, puttu (steamed rice cake) served with kadala curry (black chickpeas curry) is a hearty, nutritious meal that exemplifies the simplicity and richness of Kerala cuisine.

  • Karimeen Pollichathu: For seafood lovers, this is a must-try. Pearl spot fish marinated in a blend of spices, wrapped in banana leaves, and grilled to perfection. The result is a dish that’s both aromatic and bursting with flavor.

  • Beef Fry: A spicy, flavorful beef dish that pairs beautifully with Kerala parotta (layered flatbread). The beef is cooked with a mix of spices and coconut slices, giving it a distinctive taste that keeps you coming back for more.

  • Sadhya: Experience the grandeur of Kerala’s vegetarian feast. Sadhya is a traditional banquet served on a banana leaf, featuring an assortment of vegetarian dishes, pickles, and desserts. Perfect for special occasions or if you want to indulge in a wholesome meal.
