At Naivedya Restaurant, an alfresco, sea-facing dining space, every dish is prepared with farm-fresh, seasonal produce that reflects the fertility of Kerala’s land and coast. The menu is predominantly vegetarian, celebrating Ayurveda’s philosophy of light, nutritious, and easily digestible meals. Each creation harmonises flavour, balance, and vitality, with a selection of wholesome salads, freshly pressed juices, fruits, nourishing main courses, and light desserts.
Breakfast is generally offered as a buffet, while lunch and dinner formats depend on the number of in-house guests. During periods of lower occupancy, meals are served à la carte, ensuring personalised service.
Culinary experts, along with resident dieticians, design daily cyclic set menus rooted in Ayurveda and enhanced with coastal and international influences. Dishes are further tailored to individual body constitutions (Prakriti) and Ayurveda treatment plans, making dining an extension of the healing process.
Guests can also enjoy interactive live cooking demonstrations, held every Tuesday and Friday, where chefs and in-house dieticians share recipes, Ayurvedic cooking tips, and insights into spices and their therapeutic value. These sessions are a wonderful way to take the flavours and principles of Kerala home.
For those seeking variety, tandoori delicacies are available at dinner from 6:45 pm to 9:30 pm. True to Ayurveda’s philosophy, alcohol is not served within the restaurant or resort premises, supporting a pure and sattvic lifestyle during the retreat.
The culinary team, led by Executive Chef Sumesh, along with dieticians Dr. Sreekala Santhosh and Dr. Sajithakumari, ensures that every dining experience nourishes both body and mind while remaining true to Ayurveda’s timeless principles.
