South Indian Kochi Vegetarian Restaurant

Travel 🇮🇳 Kochi, Kerala, India 🍀 Aryass Regent I am currently traveling in Kochi, Kerala, South India. India has a large vegetarian population, so there are many famous vegetarian restaurants. During my trip to Kochi a year ago, I visited Aryass Regent, a vegetarian restaurant, and enjoyed the food so much that I decided to visit again. Aryass is a chain restaurant, so you can find a location close to where you are. This restaurant was recommended by an Indian friend from Kochi during my previous visit, and I loved it so much that I promised myself to return! I ordered a set menu featuring dosa served with coconut chutney and sambar, along with idly, Paneer 65, and lassi. On my way out, I also bought a grape juice. All of this cost just 335 rupees, which is less than 6,000 won—a very affordable meal in South India. Dosa is a South Indian-style pancake made from fermented batter. It’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, offering an addictive taste. Pairing it with sambar and coconut chutney makes it even more delicious. Tearing off a piece and dipping it into the coconut chutney is simply irresistible! Idly, a fermented rice bread, is a staple in South India. Aryass’s idly has a wonderfully fluffy texture. Whenever I visit India, I always drink lassi, a traditional fermented Indian beverage. South Indian cuisine includes many fermented foods, both in meals and drinks, which aid digestion and make you feel comfortable. Paneer 65 is one of my favorite dishes. It features soft paneer fried and coated in a flavorful sauce called 65. The portion was so generous that I thought I wouldn’t be able to finish it, but it disappeared quickly! If you’re traveling in Kochi, South India, make sure to try a pure South Indian vegetarian meal at Aryass Regent 🇮🇳🍀
