The cuisine of Kerala, a state on India’s southwest coast, takes the limelight here. The owner-couple, along with a chef from Kerala, are consummate ambassadors for the appeal of this culinary discipline. The sweetness of coconut, the pungency of curry leaves and the flavour of black pepper are standout features. Kerala is a coastal state, so seafood features prominently. Santosham means ‘happiness’ in the Malayalam language; the name is a prayer that good food and happiness will go hand in hand here.
