Ulsavam Restaurant
About
A fully air-conditioned pure-vegetarian restaurant on Rajaji Road, known for authentic Nadan Kerala flavours, hearty veg meals, and vegetarian recreations of classic non-veg dishes.
Authentic Nadan Vegetarian Dining
Ulsavam is a fully air-conditioned pure-vegetarian restaurant in the heart of Rajaji Road, Arayidathupalam — from the house of the well-known Gulmohar veg group. It stands out for keeping its food genuinely Nadan (traditional Kerala) rather than leaning on generic Udupi or North Indian styles, and backs its focus on hygiene with an open kitchen anyone can watch.
What to Order
The Kerala veg meals/thali are the star — a warm, balanced, home-style feast. The kitchen is also known for cleverly recreating the flavour and depth of popular non-veg Kerala dishes in vegetarian form, like Paneer Polichathu, Soya Pepper Fry and Soyabean Coconut Fry. Breakfast brings Udupi-style dosas (the podi masala dosa is a favourite), and the menu extends into North Indian, tandoori and Oriental veg options.
The Experience
The space is clean, green and tranquil with a comfortable, well-maintained ambience and notably warm, well-trained service. Valet parking makes it hassle-free on a busy road, and prices stay affordable.
