A Warm and Personalized Taj Experience

We had a wonderful stay at Taj Malabar, Kochi, and the experience was made truly special by the warmth and hospitality of the entire team.

A special mention to Sumesh from the Front Office for being extremely welcoming and helpful, and to Elizabeth, our Relationship Manager, who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Her warmth, attention to detail, and willingness to help made a real difference.

We would also like to thank Alex and Vivek from the Food Court for their exceptional service. The team was very accommodating with our dietary restrictions and went out of their way to provide customized food, which we really appreciated.

One of the highlights of our stay was the sunset boat experience. It was not only beautiful but also very informative. A special thanks to Elizabeth for playing a dual role as our host and guide during the experience. Her knowledge and enthusiasm added so much to the experience.

Overall, every member of the Taj Malabar team was friendly, courteous, and genuinely helpful. Their personalized service and attention to detail made us feel truly cared for throughout our stay.

Thank you, Taj Malabar, for a memorable experience. We look forward to coming back!

A Great meal at Rice Boat

We had a fabulous dinner at Rice Boat. Ahilan, the restaurant manager, recommended the Seafood Tasting Platter. And we would recommend this too for the variety of flavours n the freshest of harvest from the sea! Ahilan checked in on us with every course to ensure that we were happy with each dish. I can only say that the food n Ahilan's careful attention to each serving made this an unforgettable experience! Thank you Ahilan.

Dinner at the Rice Boat - Taj Malabar Kochi

We ate at the Rice boat on 29 Aug. The service was impeccable. Ahilan the restaurant manager was very hepful and guided us to order very well. The sea food was excellent - flavors perfectly balanced a d authentic. We ordered the seafood tasting menu and very glad we did.

However the lamb we ordered was below expectations given how high the bar was set by the seafood. However Ahilan generously offered remove that from the bill as we barely touched.

A great restaurant, a must recommend for anyone visiting Kochi amd interested in local seafood.
