Jay PadiaDecember 30, 2015This place stands out in its menu. Stand out in your choices too. Go for the specialities. Egg appam, puttu kadala, muniyandi dosa stall, fish.. don't go for the usual tikka masala!
Dina RughaniDecember 2, 2014The parathas, pepper chicken, fish curry. It is great to see restaurants doing different regional Indian cuisines. For a taste of Kerala you can't go wrong with this place.
Kat KimApril 29, 2014Delicious! Try the spiced potato balls and shrimp w chile leaves for starters. The dosas are amazing, one is enough for two if w a couple starters and rice.
MatthewNovember 3, 2014From noon to 3pm, Kokum offers well-priced lunch options that are great for people like me who don't like buffet. DO arrive at least 15 min before 3pm. The kitchen seems to shut down promptly.
Tired of Sarvana Bhavan - try this place. Very good Kerala food! Dosa's are delicious. Get the chicken fry and fish fry for staters. Fish in plantain leaf is delicious!
Ritwik DeyOctober 9, 2013Best Kerala food in the city. Authentic and home-cooked flavor profiles, friendly staff, plenty of options for vegetarians. Highly recommended.
Yashaswi DevaruFebruary 9, 2014Dosa menu and taste quite similar to Saravana bhavan ... Sambar vada tastes just like home made... Delicious , tasty and satisfying experience
Serious EatsDecember 5, 2013Regional cooking from India's southern coast with a seafood-heavy menu and some interesting vegetable dishes.
Victoria WongJanuary 7, 2015Hard to find South Indian specialties like dosai, vadai are all here! Might get crowded during dining time at this cozy spot
Tohm SansaniAugust 14, 2014Delicious Indian food. Fish curry was flavorful and fresh. Not your typical Indian takeout.
graceygooMarch 7, 2015The shrimp appetizer is excellent and the cauliflower appetizer has great flavor!
Connie ChiuSeptember 14, 2014Chicken tikka masala and lamb madras! Garlic naan and chili onion naan!
Get the fish wrapped in banana leaf, coconut rice and avial. Phenomenonal south indian food.
Cecilia SchudelMay 24, 2014Good masala dosa and idlies, but eggplant curry and fish in plantain leaves were the highlights. Vadai and spinach masiyal curry were kind of bland.
Lisa RayleSeptember 15, 2015I wish there were more South Indian places in NYC. Kokum is good, if a bit expensive for what it was. Avoid the mughlai standards and get the idlis and fish curry.
Josh OlkenNovember 15, 2013Great, fresh food - and a very different menu than many of the other places on Lex.
Everything is awesome. The chef is a rock star. Kerala kottu - that is all.

"This is a great place to hang out. The changing artwork in the main lawn is fun to see as well. It's a good place to go with a book and relax for a while, and often gets some light breezes through."
