Family dining
I went this place with my family including kids. I felt their service standards. Their service team is very polite and keeping good care to the costumers. The interior of this restaurant is very traditional. But the food is really up to the standard. I ate kerala poratta it is good and delicious... it is served hot. We also tried chicken ulathiyathu with this. It's really a good restaurant with good service.

Enjoyed the food
This is an authentic place for Kerala food. Most of the time, it will be crowded. The waiters are really polite in nature. We had koonthal fry for starters which is basically spicy Kerala style squids. That's really smells spicy and hot. Then we tried kallappam and chicken ulathiyathu. We also had duck roast too. My pal really enjoyed the food. It's really an ideal place for traditional Kerala food.

Started loving kerala foods.
Quite impressively they welcome their customers. They make you feel at topmost. I guess this is place where the best foods are being served. Was amused to see the rush into that place. I like natholi so undoubtedly I choose to eat that with rice. Yummy tasty one. Also the chicken fry added the taste to a speechless level. I ll die to back here the next time we prefer dinner out.

Homely food
My friend is really fond of homely food. So we thought of planning his birthday party at Kumarakom. He was really surprised, first because he was not expecting it, second he never expected Kumarakom as the venue. He simple loved karimeen pollichadu and dragon chicken. So yummy and spicy one. The must appreciate factor is that they all co-operated very well. Thanks Kumarakom for making this happen.

Perfect dining
Kumarakom is weekend buster for me and my girlfriend.We really enjoy being there alone having food and talking privately with no disturbance of others.Not only that the service of waiters is also execellent.We almost order chapatti with paneer curry and prawn fry which is always excellent and delicious combination for which only we go every week without fail.Kumarakom simply rocks!!!!!!
Quality of food and service levels are deteriorating of late !
I have visited this place in the past. I feel that Quality of food and service levels are deteriorating of late ... We, group of 9 people (with 3 kids) went for Dinner today. Service was not at all satisfactory... Some of the items were very average in taste..
It was so hot inside inspite of "ACs" running... They had few isolated air coolers. But they didn't arrange one for our table inspite of our complaints.. They just kept the items on the table without basic courtesy to check if we would like them to serve.
Given today's experience, I don't think I will bother to visit this restaurant again. Not at all worth the money we spent.
Ironically they claim that they were voted to be best Kerala food restaurant in whole Bangalore. :-(
The best recommandation ever
It happened that my friend suggested that we will have south indian cuisine. There were lot of choices but I finally settled for Kumarakom and I think I made a right choice. We ordered a veg stew and nadan kozhi curry. Veg stew was good and the chicken was excellent. It had quite a good no. of pieces and the chicken was quite succulent. It had right amount of chili. The parotta with it and the appam was equally good. Overall a highly recommended place. Will definately come back for more.

Good food
I've visited this place twice and have loved it both the times. This place will change any stereotypes North Indians had about South Indian cuisine. Don't go there if you are looking out for usual sambhar dosa and Idli. Apart from the customary, everything else on their menu is lip-smackingly good! Do try their chicken stew and chemmeen roast with Appam. Take it from me, you'll order it again the next time! The service is also good. Happy eating!

Must visit place if you love kerala food
Visited the restaurant after a very long time. It still maintained the wonderful look it had before, must have taken them some pain to keep it like this. Since me and my brother were in fasting we had to go for veg dishes. We went for appam and vegetable mappas. It tasted awesome and we were just enjoying each moment it entered our mouths. Really feeling satisfied even though we had to stick to our vegetarian menu.

Good dining
My boss took me to Kumarakom for the first time during official duty. At the first time itself I was totally impressed. It is one of the best south Indian cuisines I have ever had in Bangalore. We ordered Kerala Porotta and beef Ularthiyathu. It was served hot. It smelled really good. It tasted a little bit spicy but very delicious. Kumarakom is always unique for its taste, service, etc. Their service is really good with pleasant smile on every face.

Fantastic Experience
KUMARAKOM was at our Office to help us celebrate Onam with a SADYA. Everything was simply PERFECT. The Supervisor Mr Joji arranged with his team of 3 an hour ahead of the scheduled luncheon. The food was absolutely SUPERB ( I know because I am a Mallu ) and the service was equally professional ( I know because I am a Hotelier). I visited their restaurant 2 days later and as I expected, the food and service was impeccable.
Congratulations KUMARAKOM :-)

Go For it Boys
Have been hearing raving reviews about this place and did visit a few times. Now I am tempted to agree and write about the hype around this place. This place really makes you feel that you are not in ghy and gives a total metro experience. The food is worth discovering with a sincere attempt to serve world cuisine. It definitely is a place that I will want to get all my guests visiting me from outside.
Cheers to the team behind Kumarakom and we look forward to many good experiences in south India.
Very very nice food . The Chemeen roast is my favourite , it makes my mouth water. The karimeen pollichithe is just yummy. The butter chicken is good.The atmosphere is very good. The biryani is good. The rates are very reasonable. The people are very busy with their job. The breads are awesome; they are crisp. Altogether it is a joint to go with your friends....

Very Fine south Indian food! Whatever we ordered was a feast for the palates. Would love to visit whenever I get a chance again. The place looked hygienic and the staff was friendly. Also, they had a separate kitchen for pure vegetarians! It's a good option for home delivery too; would recommend it's food if you're looking for fine South Indian food!

A very good place to have Kerala cuisine on any ordinary day. I was welcomed by the wonderful ambiance and the Kerala style ambiance which just made feel happy about the place. I didn't go for any starters and went straight to the main course dishes. I ordered for Kerala poratta and beef pepper fry. It took me around 20 minutes for the food to be served. But it tasted really awesome and was definitely good for the wait. But there weren't as many desserts as the main courses. There were only a few to choose from. So I ordered for the fresh fruit salad which really did not disappoint me.

Plain Bad
Very, very ordinary. Makes me wonder what some of my fellow reviewers have been smoking to say things like "mom's cooking", "best in Bangalore", and use superlatives to describe the place.
Have eaten here 4 times, each time poorer than the last. Shockingly mediocre food, miserly portion sizes, well above average pricing, sloppy and slow service.
Especially disappointing since it's well located, and could have been so much better. I recommend a complete overhaul, and new management.
Also, what kind of Kerala restaurant messes up the basic vegetable stew? Flavorless, cold, thin with a few pieces of vegetables thrown in as an after thought. Their "specialty" Kappa Biryani is so ridiculously spiced and hot that all one can do is pick out the few shreds of beef and leave the rest of the mishmash.
I regret giving this place 4 chances to impress me. Heck, I would have settled for satisfactory.
Pathetic Place, Please Avoid
Based on the reviews, visited this place today. First of all, the AC was not enough. We all were literally sweating. Ordered for starters, took 30 minutes to get the starters. Quantity was very less for the price they charge. Except the fish fry, the starters taste was bad. Ordered for the main course. It took 45 minutes for them to serve the main course. When asked why it is taking so much time, the answer we got is that since we ordered a-la-carte, it is taking time. Taste of the main course was pathetic (I was just wondering ... how can a Kerala restaurant prepare such bad stew) . Quantity for the main course was so less that we finally had to order rice and sambhar to fill our stomachs. Meals may be good (as I saw many having meals) but avoid a-la-carte for sure. Food is highly priced, less quantity and bad taste. The service was bad too. No one even offered to serve the food.

Real Kerala Food!!
First things first - You got to be a sincere and dedicated non-vegetarian to even think about visiting this place. Don't even bother to visit if you are a vegetarian or have no experience with Kerala food. I went with my roommate to have original Kerala cuisine, my roommate also called his three Keralite friends. They suggested some authentic Kerala dishes. Needless to say, the food was awesome. It felt like specialty dishes from Kerala. Fish was well cooked, and other authentic curries were too good. The food didn't taste like restaurant food, but homemade. Surely worth trying for food lovers.

Adipolli Settings and Food
Had plans to visit this place for a long time and finally got lucky today. My friend and I had an opportunity to taste chemmen roast,chicken roast,crab chilly fry and Fish moilee to relish the items for lunch. Moilee felt heavenly. It was not just lunch but a feast for both eyes and tummy alike .

Truly Southie!
A truly South Indian restaurant. The interior is spacious and simple. The food is just delicious like the way it has to be. A must visit place if you want delicious and satisfying South Indian food. Their meals are quite filling and leaves you content. I dont know why my son is such a fan of this hotel. He keeps on asking when we will have a meal over there.
Overall the first visit was impressive
Taste - 4
Ambiance - 3
Value for money - 5

Been there many times.
Karimeen pollichathe and the biriyani is my favorite (highly recommend), and for the meals dont ever miss the dessert (paysam)-superb.
Also a point to be mentioned from my previous visit is that about their avial... Most of the youngsters hate avial including I, but kumarakoms avial actually tastes like chammandi of sorts, but it does look like avial!! Im thoroughly impressed with their ability to have turned a hated dish into a praise worthy one!!
Its a nice Kerala cuisine restaurant with pleasant old Malayalam songs playing. Feel goodalore :)

Good ambi, food
Did this restaurant last night The ambiance is very warm and homely.. The music - very nostalgic if youre a mallu! The service staff are brilliant and attentive to all my requests were fulfilled well on time, even though the restro was way beyond full!! The food was exquisite, to say the least. Food aint tested in a mallu restaurant, until youve had their beef masala.. Kumarakoms beef masala is quite out of this world!! Their mallu biriyani is also mouth-watering. Overall a very nostalgic warm place, if youre a south indian or mallu. J

Awesomeness yo!!
Wife and Ive always made note of visiting the place whenever we drive across BDA, mostly due to their exterior look. Last night we did check-in, we were pretty hungry, so skipped straight to chicken biriyani and chicken roast. I donno if it was hunger, but the food tasted so freaking heavenly!! We made a mental note to visit the place again coming week with other family members. :)

Adipolli !!
I felt obliged to write about this restro because of the sheer taste of food. 3.2 is clearly an underrating ! All I want to say was that my team and I thoroughly had a swell time during lunch today. My fav item was shrimp roast, its the kind of item that makes you write such reviews hahah!! Also do try their idivettu chicken, you ought to like it.

Horrible Experience
When 20 of us from office went for the Onam sadya, the so called unlimited meals even charged us for the extra 13 papads(13*5) that we took, and the 4 bowls of curd(40*4) which they served us even without us having asked for it, where the curd is actually supposed to be a part of the Kerala sadya.
Food was fairly good, but nothing exceptional for Rs.250/head.
Service was HORRIBLE.
1. They kept plastic glasses, which flew away, whenever it became empty.
2. They never asked for a second serving of any dishes.
3. They asked for a second serving of rice only after we waited for long.
4. On asking for a rasam serving, they took 10 minutes.
5. Above all, even on reserving the table for 20, after reaching there, we had to wait for 1/2 an hour to get the first plate of side dishes+papad+chips served, and the last plate was served nearly 10 minutes later, only after which the rice, and dal were served.
6. Wash basin area could have been more lit, and cleaner.
Ambiance was good, but truly not worth so much of hassles.
I think my experience in Ente Keralam was much better, though the sadya charges there are on the higher side.
Excellent Place
My first visit to Kumarakom. Im totally impressed by the experience I had.
The place was well designed. A typical Kerala style. Me not a mallu but I loved the architecture. Tried Appam and Stew as starters. Appams were really soft and the edges were crispy. The chicken stew had a good blend of coconut milk and spices, loved it. Also tried Syrian Irachi Ularthiyathu. Irachi was tender and juicy but it was a little spicy.
For main course we ordered Kerala Porotta, Tadoori Rotti, Butter Chicken, Prawns ularthiyathu( In fact the prawn was fresh, didnt have the frozen taste) and kerala chicken curry.
For dessert the only option they had was payasam, though few more items were mentioned in the menu.
We really enjoyed the dinner. Service was also very good.
Recommend this place.

Very Long Wait Time During Weekends
Many popular restaurants see a rush of visitors at mealtimes, however Kumarakom staff seem unable to manage the situation.
Last weekend when we were there, a bunch of people were waiting for tables - as the guests left and tables became free and got cleaned, the reception staff did nothing to seat the waiting guests.
Even after the empty tables were pointed out to them they did not do anything. Some people who were waiting left at that point unable to understand this unreasonable behaviour.
Kumarakam management needs to have some competent and hospitable staff manning the reception at busy times if they want to see customers return.

Home Sick?? Kumarakom :)
Always been my favorite when it comes to Naadan food. The Kerala meals here taste so genuine. The beef pepper fry and Karimeen Pollichathu is a must try. Super food with super ambiance. Even seems to be my Dad's favourite as whenever he visits me he prefers not to dine out if not at Kumarakom. Full marks for maintaining the taste :)
Good Karimeen Pollichathu
Been to Kumarakom recently. Tried their Karimeen pollichathu ...I must say it was one of the best that I ever had....it was so yummy....I packed one for my wife too.
We were 8 of us. Tried most of the menu....most of the items I liked. Heard so much about the mini sadhya. I was disappointed because it was available only on the weekends. We had to try the lunch....it was good , typical kerala rice and curries.
Must try items includes- Karimeen pollichathu, Chemmen Ularthiyathu, and duck roast....
Plz dont go this place
We went to this place with my family. I want to explore Kerala food. They dont have Kerala food what they mentioned in their menu. other food is also not great. Service is horrible. they just dump the food, they r not proper responding. staff behavior is very very bad.
I am highly disappointed
WoW a great lunch
I've been looking for a typical Kerala meal and found this place in HSR layout. I just love the food there.....went for the buffet last week. It was just awesome. I loved the kappa and meen curry. It was little spicy but really loved the preparation, a typical nadan style. The Poricha Kozhi was excellent I had almost 2 plates. I'm not sure how they manage to give so many items at not too expensive rate.
I also tried the Karimeen pollichathu as I heard a lot about the same from my friends. I was not at all disappointed. It was really special.
I will come back to Kumarakom with my friends and family for sure.

Pathetic Buffet Lunch
Went here today (Sunday) for Buffet Lunch. It was around 1.30 pm and the place was empty. We were reluctant for Buffet, but then did not think much and started with it. There was a soup which was okay. Appam, Chicken Stew, Beef fry and Fish curry were there for starters. Beef fry was extremely oily and tasted like old stuff. The main course had just Rice, Sambhar, Aviyal and a curry. There was no non-veg in the main course and all the curries including Sambhar tasted so bad and old that we were really disappointed. South Indian lunch is incomplete without curd, and I had to order it separately. They had Palada in desserts which had more of water than milk. You can get similar meals from any other ordinary Kerala hotels for 50-100/-. The so-called-buffet here costs approximately 460 Rs. Even though the place was almost empty, the service too was bad. It took more than 20 mts to get a bowl of curd, had to ask them to clear the used plates. Will never ever go here again and will never recommend the Buffet lunch.

Visited thrice..and loved it everytime
They have got it right.Straight from the ambience to the taste of the food and the rates are not high either.Me remember having lunch at their chennai branch and cribbing when the bill arrived.But this bangalore joint was a pleasant surprise.Authentic kerala food.Loved it to the core.

Food @ Kumarakom
I had been to my friends B'day party hosted at Kumarakom. I was pleasently surprised by the traditional amibience of the place....more than anything the food they served was amazing...especially the kappa biriyani, Appam and chicken vartutharachathu.....me and my friends had a great time
June 21,2012
pricey for the quantity you get
Went there twice. Agree with the reviewers that say the decor and service are good. Food too is good.
However, completely agree with deepti-kn below. It is too pricey, especially for the amount of food you get. I left hungry after a dinner oder of vegetable stew and appam. (Order of kerala thaali for lunch was all right though)

Nice Decor and Food
5 of us on a casual team lunch on a friday afternoon. The decor is really soothing and feels like inside of a houseboat...We ordered the malabar fish curry and also the the tangy one with kokum...i think its called machhikattu...both were very well prepared with right amount of spices and a decent portion of the fish.We also ordered chicken and prawn biryani...mildy spiced and yummy. I never like the idea of restaurants advertising they specialize in a certain cuisine and the menu ends up with the usual north indian and chindese food.. But these guys seem to have the kerala stuff pretty authentic and thats a thumbs up!!!!

Overall a great food experience
Last Sunday was my second visit to Kumarakom ..I love the food. This time I tried the Mini Sadhya. It was just superb. First time Im having a hot steamy kerala rice ? tried the nadan Chemeen ulathiyathu, it was really really tasty. I recommend this dish. Also tried the home made dessert made out of Jackfruit it was my first experience and it was very good ..I feel service can improve a bit..I had to wait for 20 minutes to get a table .it was crowded .overall a great experience
February 28,2012
Never again.
Food 4/10.
Ambience 3/10.
Service 1/10.
Value for money 6/10.
Service wasnt great, despite the fact the place was almost empty. The food itself is bland, of the three meals my friends ordered they all tasted the same and we found ourselves hunting out elsewhere to bring some flavour to the meals.

tasty food and great amibience
I'm a regular visitor to Kumarakom....I love the ambiance( typical Kerala architecture) and the tasty food. Have tried most of the dishes. I must say Kumarakom is moderately priced (definitely not cheap)...a great place for families and have taken many of my customers there.....it's worth the money

Great place for Kerala food in Bangalore
We have been to Kumarakom many times now. Its the place to go for authentic Kerala ( Kottayam style ) cuisine.
Perfect lacy 'appams, Beef ulathiyathu, Karimeen Pollichathu, Duck Roast, Sadya with delicacies like Ayiyal, Pachadi etc and yummy ada payasam... not to forget the staple food Kerala Parottas....the list goes on.
The fourth floor hall with Kerala style architecture is perfect for parties with a lovely ambience.
Hooked: want to go back over n over n over again
If you want authentic Kerala food prepared to perfection this is just the place to go. The ambience is lovely, food delicious and hosts gracious.
We recently used the party hall at the restaurant for a family party.. and all the seasoned cooks in the family went - "mmmmmm"... and everyone just loved the ambience.

Mallu food for Vegetarians too...
Last night went to Kumarakom with my friends
..Heard about this place from my friends and read the reviews at Burrp too. Im from north and a hardcore vegetarian and my expectations regarding choice of menu was limited in a mallu restaurant. But I was thoroughly impressed with the stuff I had. As expected choice of dishes were limited
but the taste was superb
the taste still lingers in my mouth.
I had Appam(it was really soft) Veg stew, Kerala Porotta and curry made of tomato was really yummy .The friendly staff at Kumarakom explained in detail how each dish is prepared. they even took and showed us how one of the dishes ' puttu' is made. . I always heard that mallu food is not meant for vegetarians but we enjoyed our dinner at Kumarakom. Surprisingly, Kumarakom offers a lot of north Indian dishes as well especially, tandoor based dishes. The home made dessert(tender coconut delight) was a perfect delight to end the dinner.
Awesome food great ambience
Had heard a lot about the restaurant from my friends in chennai so went for dinner to Kumarakom last night.The restaurant has very hospitable staff with one of the best Mallu foods around! They have great prices and the tender coconut dessert was the best way to end our sumptuous dinner. The restaurant offers a great variety in the menu and the staff was helpful enough while deciding what to order since I am not very familiar with the dishes. The appams and the chicken dishes were excellent! Must visit for a delicious keralite food..
Love this place ...good food, good ambience
This place has never dissapointed me during my India visits. This was my first visit to the Bangalore location (which I believe opened only 2 weeks back). I am a regular at their Chennai Anna Nagar location. Great Kerala food (the mini-sadhya is a good for the vegetarians). The ambience is excellent and typicallty the host (the hostess in this case) are excellent in their recommendations and overall customer service. I think pretty much everything out jhere rocks - especially the Karimeen.
Value for money (lunch for 6 - 3 mini-sadhya's included) and a large Non-veg course...comes to around 2500. Definitely worth it
Great Christmas Lunch
Went to Kumarakom this Christmas lunch. I had been there once This time I took family. Apparently the first floor was full. The Manager took us to new floor which they opened that day. It was the terrace floo,r air conditioned, designed in Kerala style with coir and tiles with a nice water falls. I was quite impressed.
I ordered their Christmas specialties- Kada Erachi, Natholi fry, Fish Cutlet,...I must say it was excellent and some of the items I'm trying for the first time. I really enjoyed the meal. The payasam they served was too good. Overall wonderful experience
Nice place
I went to Kumarakom last Sunday for Lunch. Someone told about this new place.... ..had to wait for some time to get a seat..it was packed. They managed the crowd pretty well.
I tried the Sadhya and Squid fry. Also tried Karimeen pollichathu.....Karimeen was priced little high... but it was really superb. the taste still lingers in my mouth.
They had limited choice on dessert. The payasam they gave along with Sadhya was just amazing.....excellent place....keep up the taste guys....

Yummy Duck roast
I tired the Duck roast & Kerala Porotta from this new place....The best duck roast I had since my last visit to Kerala( Alleppy) 12 years ago.....Its a nice place for families, very good interiors....apparently it was little crowded during weekends( may be because of the yummy food they serve)...some one suggested the best time to go is during weekdays....I recommend this place
Excellent Sadhya
I normally don't like kerala style food....last weekend my mallu friends forced me to accompany them for lunch to Kumarakom restaurant @ HSR Layout. Being a vegetarian my option was to try out the Special meals(Mini Sdahya they say....).
Post my meal I change my opinion about Kerala food. It was absolutely delicious. Served in Banana leaf it was a fantastic experience.
The best part I liked was the payasam they served after the meal. The taste still lingesr in my mouth....a great place to visit

The perfect taste of Kerala
Is it the fish, or is it the avial... or wait, it is probably the paalada... or is it just everything??? I am still unclear what part of the gastronomic trip at Kumarakom sent me walking down the labyrinthine nostalgic lanes of lush green kerala... i have to decide that everything i ate here took me to a time and place in the lap of god's own country!!! The decor is elegant, striking a perfect chord with the Chuttambalam lamps (a standard feature in temples across Kerala). It was quite crowded, though perfectly worth the wait. I ate the mini Sadhya + Karimeen pollichathu + squid roast (of course, i shared reluctantly with a couple of others...). The Sadhya was excellent with Avial, Kaalan, Chammandhi, Sambar, Pachadi, Pappadom and 2 paayasams (might've missed a few items in this list)... I was bursting at my seams, but did justice to the fresh fish and squid too :)... I should say, i will be known by name here very soon owing to my frequent visits. The staff were amicable and service as timely as the crowd could accommodate.
Good Food & Nice Ambience
Seeing Burp reviews decided to check out this place ..last night after bursting the crackers I went to Kumarakom I should tell you guys its an excellent place for mallu food ..We were a gang of 7 and tried almost everything on the menu?. I loved the Duckroast, Squid and Karimeen .The place looks beautiful its a must visit place
Good place to Go -you should try Karimeen Pollicha
My friend told me about Kumarakom and I drove all the way from RT Nagar to HSR layout. I must say it was worth every penny. I enjoyed the mini Sadya they had yesterday. The Karimeen Pollichathu was just mouth watering. I also tried the squid ularthiyathu it was too good, I packed 2 portions for my dinner too .good place to go. ( Apparently I had to wait for 10 mnts due to the rush .but it was worth the wait?

Bad experience with Onam Sadya
Kumarakom used to be a decent place with decent food and price. I used to visit the place every now and then. But my experience on the Onam day made me question all that. We couldnt prepare the usual Onam feast at home, hence we decided to head out to Kumarakom on Onam day. The place was crowded, which is totally understandable, so no problem with that. They charged Rs. 370 for the onam feast, which I thought was on the higher side, but I thought its worth if they can create the typical Kerala Onam, feast experience. But instead, what I experienced was the greed of the owner, totally disorganized arrangements and food that was completely disappointing!
We were asked if we can share a table with some others already having their food at the table - we were taken aback, my wife protested, so he (I assume it was the owner) didnt push it much.
After some waiting, he did arrange a table for us, and someone served the first course, that is a banana leaf on which very little quantity of all the items were served. We expected that those items would be served again, which is the typical 'sadya' way, but to our surprise, not a single item was served again - we had to make do with whatever little that was served initially. Similarly, even after finishing the food, no one was serving the sweets - Payasam. So we had to call someone and specifically ask for it to be served.
the 'Sadya' items were (from whatever microscopic amounts that were served) not at all tasting like their original kerala versions. I doubt it was prepared by anyone who knows traditional Kerala cooking.
Overall, we had a bad experience. We wouldnt have thought twice about it if it was on one of the usual days for one of the usual meals. But this was Onam and we wanted to have an good Onam Sadya - this place manage to spoil the complete experience for us!
A home away from home!
My lookout for the Perfect Malayalee cuisine ended at Kumarakom. Not only was I pleasantly surpised by the warm and wooden interiors, but also with the ever effervescent host. Like they have always maintained, the food is delicious and home made, taking me back to when I was a child visiting my grandmothers house, for nothing less than a sumptuos meal cooked with love. So i tried the veg meals, beef varathada, and the fish fry, and needless to say, every morsel, made me turn around to look for ammachie. So to cut it short, its a home away from home, not just with the food, but even with the ambience and the care with which they serve you! Im definitely going back

Best Onam Sadhya I ever had
I'd like to thank my mallu friend who took me this time to this new place in HSR layout ,Bangalore. I must say this has been the best Onam Sadhya I ever had. The place was so crowded, but it was well organized....I'm not a malayalee, but I loved the payasam(had 6 glasses) :)- over all experience has been really great. The restaurant has good ambience nice place for families....I recommend Kumarakom Restaurant to my friends
I dint miss my Grand Onam Sadhya this time too
This time I had Sadhya with my friends from Kumarakom Restaurant. Even though we had to wait for 15-20 mins I felt it was worth waiting for it. It was 2:15 pm when we got a place to sit. I was really surprised to see these guys serving us really hot rice from which the steam was coming. I enjoyed the hot rice with the dal & ghee 1st. All the curries were tasty ( if I am not wrong I counted 21 or 22 items for the Sadhya) & we all were very happy that they served the food unlimited (if I remember I had 4 papadams ;) ) we all enjoyed the Sadhya, even my non malayali friends too. I had been to this place before, the food is generally quite tasty, Kappa meen curry, appam stew, karimeen pollichathu are few of my fav dishes here.

Horrible Sadya Ever!!! @ Rs.370 bucks!!
I was so adamant on having sadya at this place that I literally asked my hubby to come down from work to take me and my father to this place. Since morning I was connecting with my relatives and other malayalee friends and discussing about Onam Sadya and was desperate to have it at any cost. Little did I know this place will give such a rude shock. We had to wait for a generous 20 minutes (thankfully they did keep some chairs outside). Then as we were led to our table my mind was full of nice avial, thoran, kalan, injicurry, pachadi, kichadi and so on and so forth (my friends and hubby have lovingly labelled me as teethapandaram as I am very fond of food). All my dreams were shattered when I saw the first serve of side dishes on the banana leaf. I couldnt even make out which was the avial. Thoran was replaced by achinga mezhukkuvaratty ( In kerala they serve this item during shradh) and there were some completely non distinguishable items. The pappadam was evidently fried in not so hot oil as it was half done!! The sambar had to be labelled as sambar as it was red in color with no taste of a Malayali sambar. The only thing authentic was the red matta rice. The payasam looked like jam ... thick and pulpy as if they have generously mixed rice flour to make it thick. For those who are reading this review and thinking on Onam this what you can expect ... then let me tell you on any normal day if you visit this well furnished well decorated place .... you will be amazed by the quantity they serve. We had appam, chicken stew, fish curry and plain rice and we found the curries were all as little as half plate. me and my hubby couldnt finish having the rice as the quantity of the curry was so less.
So this place is definitely not for those who love good food. Kumarakkom must definitely take lessons from exquisite places like Rajdhani (Gujarati marwari Cuisine), Oh Calcutta (Bengali Cuisine), Nandhini (Andhra) as to how to deliver value for money. If they focus only on money ... not many people would want to get cheated again and again !!!
Disappointing experience
We were four people from office went for lunch to this restaurant.
We thought on Onam day we will celebrate with nice food and went to this restaurant . as I understand that we need to wait since huge crowd around, we waited for 15 mins. After that we were asked to the pay full amount Rs 370/meal. They did not accept credit card saying it is not functioning. We paid by cash.
After paying the amount we were asked to sit a place just vacated and not cleaned.
We were made to wait there for another 10 mins. meanwhile, they manager asked us are you finished? (so that he can accommodate another customer). we said we have not started yet. Later they cleaned it and started the food. They told that it will be 21 item food. But when they brought food, it is very difficult distinguish between different items. All look same.We were hungry started eating. They brought very cold rice/dal/sambar/rasam.We asked for side dishes more. The server got the item in small spoon and hit on the plate. It was annoying. I felt it is very unhygienic. I switched to last item. He got butter milk and dropping in the plate with a spoon again. We were half full/hungry and somehow finished it and went for hand wash. We thought, we will at least have banana at the end. When we came back from the wash, there was different team was sitting. We walked out.
Very poor taste of food.
Cold food
Extremely poor service.
I wont recommend this restaurant to anyone.
zero respect to customer

Get ahead by working less? Leaning in isn't for everyone. Indeed, some professionals are trying to leave the office earlier and spend more time relaxing or on outside pursuits. To make this possible, they have to adopt more productive habits. Not that it's easy. Increased connectivity means many people find it nearly impossible to disconnect in their non-working hours. You'd think this would allow us to become productivity machines. Not so. The always-connected work life results in long, less productive days, according to research. In fact, working fewer hours can actually make you more productive at your job, according to more than 20 years of research from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Take a lesson or two from the playbooks of these five professionals, who vowed to work less and actually made it happen. Click on the images above to see the work lifehacks they employed to take back their time and still stay successful. Don't use weekends to catch up Tim Fernihough Toronto, Canada When Fernihough started running the IT department at software development firm MyPlanet, the 28 year old used weekends to catch up on projects that he didn't get done during the week. The problem: knowing he had the extra days to complete the work meant he was less rigorous about his schedule Monday through Friday. Instead of being if-needed days, Saturday and Sunday became part of the work week — and his colleagues knew it. After about six months of that, Fernihough said he "became fed up with the sheer volume of requests." "My weekends are protected now," said Fernihough, a co-founder of the company. "If it wasn't so important that I couldn't prioritise it first, there is no reason it can't happen on Monday." Fernihough also does not answer or check messages on his work phone on the weekends. Also, during the week, he is more conscious of distractions. The result: Fernihough took back almost 10 hours each week for personal pursuits. How do you take back your time and stay disconnected from the office?

(Photo: Courtesy Tim Fernihough) Get a "dumb" phone for the weekend Marc Munier Brighton, United Kingdom In addition to his smartphone, Munier, who works for public relations software firm Cision, uses a simple phone without an internet connection on the weekends. It's an idea he got from a friend who'd listened to him complain about how distracted he felt by work when he was at home. It's not as complicated as it sounds. Rather than carrying two phones and keeping two numbers, Munier, 38, moves the SIM card from one phone to the other. He's still connected in the evenings if he's needed and during his commute to work, but he disconnects on the weekends for "a bit of detachment", he said. It took some time, but most of Munier's coworkers have learned that he doesn't answer emails on the weekend, he said. "I've got this down to a fine art," Munier said. (Photo: Courtesy Marc Munier) Schedule email checks (yes, you can do it) Mayukh Choudhury Bangalore, India About a year ago, Choudhury, the co-founder of Milaap.org, a social lending startup, made a decision that changed his work habits — and won back his time. He would stop mindlessly checking email as soon as it appeared in his inbox. He would get so bogged down answering every little email about crowdfunding campaigns that it took Choudhury, 31, forever to get the rest of his work done. Nowadays, Choudhury does most of his emailing during three distinct time periods: early morning, late afternoons and evenings — each limited to less than 45 minutes. To limit an overload of emails being sent from his account, he uses Boomerang, a tool that schedules emails to go out at the end of day. While Choudhury still periodically scans email subject lines for any urgent notes from clients, he estimates the regimen saves him at least 10 hours per week. Of course, staying disciplined about the thrice-daily email sessions is challenging, he admits. "There is always the temptation to break out of the schedule or jump into something," Choudhury said. (Photo: Courtesy Mayukh Choudhury) Be the early bird in the office Jeff Cooper East Norrington, Pennsylvania (US) After skipping his usual morning workout to get to the office for a 06:00 call one day, Cooper had a realisation that changed his work life. Quiet mornings were the best time to work — and actually get a lot done. Now, instead of heading to the gym, Cooper goes to the office at 06:30. Most of his coworkers arrive at ExpoLogic, an event registration company that Cooper runs, closer to 09:00. The quiet time before everyone else arrives allows Cooper,42, to get the most important tasks of the day out of the way, before he gets pulled into morning small talk and other office distractions. Cooper moved his workout to lunch time and is out of the office by 16:00. When needed, he'll finish up work in the evening, but Cooper estimates that his early bird hours save him one or two hours per day in the office. The toughest part of his productivity hack has been demonstrating to others that he's not just leaving work early. "I used to feel guilty for leaving the office between [15:00 and 16:00]," Cooper said. Now "my employees realise the hours that I put in." (Photo: Courtesy Jeff Cooper) Make everybody's tasks transparent Mahmood Al-Yousif Bahrain The never ending trail of email and meetings left Al-Yousif, founder of corporate video production company Gulf Broadcast, bogged down in his inbox. Sometimes, dozens of emails might be sent simply to update the status of one stage of a project. The result was wasted hours just reading through mail and trying to determine whether each video project would meet the client deadline. So, he decided to try a more automated tracking system. Employees now use project management software Asana to organise teams and promote transparency without the need for email. Anyone in the company can see the status of projects others are handling. It's helped Al-Yousif, 52, cut down on emails. There are fewer — and more useful — meetings, and it eventually saved him time. Al-Yousif estimates he now works several hours less each week. "Our meetings are now discussions about future growth rather than task listing," said Al-Yousif. Getting employees onboard wasn't easy. It took several months to get everyone to input their work and status reports into the tool. At first, most of Al-Yousif's employees still felt it would be easier to just send an email and weren't all on board with the new way of tracking projects. "It was a learning curve that was relatively steep," he said. (Photo: Courtesy Mahmood Al-Yousif) More Slideshows You're fired!

Pegula 'concerned' about Miller and Vanek, wants to keep them in Buffalo
Jun 18, 2013, 3:26 PM EDT
Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula wants fans to know he shares their worries about the futures of Ryan Miller and Thomas Vanek.
"I can tell the fans I'm concerned, too," Pegula told Buffalo's WGR-AM 550, as per the Buffalo News. "Yes, we want them here."
Miller has one year left on the five-year, $31.25 million deal he signed with the Sabres in 2009. He has a modified no-trade clause — he can list eight teams he will not accept a trade to, according to Capgeek — and carries a $6.25 million annual cap hit.
Vanek also has one year left on his deal — a seven-year, $50 million contract signed in 2007. He carries a $7.14 million cap hit and doesn't have a no-trade or no-movement clause.
It's been rumored that neither player wants to stick around Buffalo for a potential rebuild.
The club has traded away assets at each of the last two deadlines — Paul Gaustad, Robyn Regehr, Jordan Leopold and former captain Jason Pominville — all for either draft picks and/or prospects.
What's more, the future of the club appears to be with its youth, including a trio of talented forwards (first-rounders Mikhail Grigorenko, Zemgus Girgensons and Joel Armia) and goalie Matt Hackett, acquired from Minnesota in the Pominville deal.
So you can see why Vanek and Miller might be expendable.
That said, it sounds as though Pegula isn't ready to concede it's time to move on from Buffalo's all-time winningest goalie and its active points leader.
But it might be out of his control.
"They have a say in that decision," Pegula explained. "What that decision is, no one's been re-signed yet, so we're still working.
"Don't forget, they're part of that decision."
- thomasvanek - Jun 18, 2013 at 3:41 PM
I'll be happy with just keeping Vanek (clearly I'm biased), but Enroth showed in the worlds by leading Team Sweden to the gold that he is capable of being an elite goaltender. We don't have many scorers on our team so it is important to keep Vanek.
- rsmaggiemae - Jun 18, 2013 at 7:10 PM
Since Vanek lives in Minnesota in the off season, in fact not far from where I live, we in Minnesota would love for him to play here, however they have to buy out Heatlys contract and I am sure Bouchard is gone at 5.4 mil a year, Heatly was at 7.1 mil a year so we could afford Vanek… it would be great for him to play with Pomanville…
There are quite a few Wild players who will be on the trade list, I am sure, but whether they can get anyone for these players is another question
We have plenty of young good players coming up, but thats a few years down the road, but I would rather see the younger players than those who dont have any confidence to want to win,……
- lordfletcher - Jun 19, 2013 at 9:16 PM
The Wild will not trade for Vanek seeing as you can get him for free the next year. It is just too costly now for the Wild who need to start re-building the prospect pool (after the Pominville deal and a few prospects starting to join the NHL) ….
Vanek has huge ties to MN as he played for the Gophers and his wife is from here (or something like that) … I also believes he lives in MN during the summers…. If Vanek wants to play in MN he will no matter after next season.. Seeing as Fletcher was patient on waiting for Parise and Suter, I don't see why he would't remain calm.
I am in no way saying Vanek is going to be on the Wild but if he wanted to, there is more than enough here for him to relate to.

"Don't forget, they're part of that decision."
Sounds like he's expecting them to leave and already planning for damage control. Point the blame on the players walking away from Buffalo rather than he failed to keep them.
He doesn't want his fans saying "hey, this guy came over and we lost every good player we ever had!"
- Exiled1 - Jun 18, 2013 at 5:13 PM
I'd like to see Ryan Miller get traded to another team for entertainment purposes only. He has a few more decent years in him and I'd like to him get a better shot. It's not happening anytime soon in Buffalo.
I always thought Vanek was a bit overpaid not overrated, but I don't consider him a superstar. Talented but enigmatic like so many other European players.
- desertfan - Jun 19, 2013 at 4:31 AM
TRADE BOTH ASAP to follow the plan!!
I think there is a plan??
- ashtongronholz8 - Jun 19, 2013 at 4:58 PM
Miller to Minnesota with heatley and change then vanek to follow. Boy would that be awesome
- lordfletcher - Jun 19, 2013 at 9:23 PM
Who would take on Heatley's contract?
and if the Wild found someone, Heater has a NTC or LNTC so he can pretty much decide if he wants to leave or not.
in other words, 97.4% likely Heater stays with the Wild. He has more worth than people rag on him for but he is not worth his salary. Going to have to wait it out amigo

Had Brett Favre retired after last year he would have gone out in better fashion than any other quarterback in NFL history: great stats and one field goal from the Super Bowl. Instead he chose to stick around and now has to go out washed-up and scandal-chased.
Unfortunately, kbinzooland is correct: this scum will plead not guilty due to mental defect. We can only hope the jury sees through it.
Isn't that why we love it? Doesn't the unpredictability increase the excitement? It's been obvious for several years that schools who have not been traditional powers are improving thanks to sports medicine, game film, technology, the exodus of quality assistant coaches looking for the head job, etc. It's a good thing.

Comments about ACE HARDWARE Raid® House & Yard Fumigator (74249) - 6 Pack:
These kill bugs, but don't leave behind the big mess or flowery insecticide odor that the aerosol foggers do. And, unlike the aerosol foggers that spray stuff everywhere the minute you press the button, these fumigators give you a few seconds to leave the room gracefully before the insecticide starts spreading. Also, with these fumigators you don't have the warning to unplug the refrigerator or other power cycling appliances, like you do with the aerosol foggers. You might need to use a couple more units than you would the aerosol foggers, to get the best coverage, but it's well worth it!

It's here: At age 24, I will (barring disaster) finally finish college. I'm not sure if it's an accomplishment, though—I leave this place feeling like a failure.
I cracked up last fall. History of depression? Check. Lack of sleep, chronic stress? Well, yeah—I was a Speccie. To a degree, though, Spectator kept me sane, and production was a welcome, comforting routine. I felt like I could control myself at Spec, if only because the paper needed it.
But Spec also let me be an idiot. "Needing" to do something more for Spec was an accessory to avoidance—a way of putting off everything from homework to medical treatment. No matter the case, I would use the same excuse: "If I have to think about this, I won't be able to do production on Sunday—better push it away and deal with the consequences later."
Spec was a kind of magical thinking, a way of transforming a too-awful present.
I trained new staff members. I proposed new projects, presented to the board of trustees, pushed content, resolved conflicts. I supported editors in crises.
I led more than 200 students. And:
Once: My mother calls to tell me my grandmother had died, and I set a timer: five minutes to cry in private before I return to production.
Twice: My roommate catches me in a panic attack that's spurred by seeing my rapist in Lerner. "I can't go to counseling," I tell her. "I'll have to think about this all the time, and if I'm wrapped up in what happened to me, who's going to keep the conference from falling apart?"
Again: My parents have figured out that things are bad and drag me to a doctor. I lie through my teeth—if they know how desperate I am, they won't let me finish the semester, and Spec will have to go through the chaos of finding a new managing editor.
Spec was where I learned who I was and what I cared about. It was the place that taught me how to edit. It was the source of valuable friendships and of a sense of belonging, a community in and of itself. It was a chance to fully indulge in the self-importance of the undergrad, to convince myself my actions had impact.
When I'd lost faith in myself, my friends, my surroundings, my safety, Spec was a source of distraction. It let me forget.
But Spec was also the place where, too many times, I didn't ask for help, said I was fine, and insisted that I needed to work. It was the intersection of achievement, masochism, and self-avoidance.
And so here I am, looking back on what should be a triumph with regret.
I'm used to seeing my peers, inside and outside Spec, playing the same game as I did: appealing to an organization's punishing hours as a "logical" means of self-abnegation, repression, or simple refusal to get help. It makes sense: Reaching for the stars is a whole lot more pleasant than staring at your own grief.
So here's what I can do now—offer advice, pearls of wisdom if you will. Here: Take the time—leave for a year if you need to. Your peers may not know, but your shit will confront you—take the time to shovel it out of your path.
Here's that advice more broadly: Self-recognition, self-help is more important than you let yourself think.
I've come back to Columbia a year too late, having watched my class graduate while I stayed behind. I feel like a ghost—I don't know this campus. And I've done the unthinkable: I left, and I couldn't do it all. I've failed.
But I'm here, and I know myself now—or at least I think I'm learning how to be honest. Leaving as a failure is a relief.
Too many thank-yous are deserved, and if named, will leave someone out. So here's what I can do: a special shoutout to the lovely old farts from 136; a congratulations to 137—you were amazing; a vote of support for 138. Everyone else: Is it enough to say you know who you are? Maybe not, but if all else fails, you can assume this thank-you's for you.

Thank you for your bravery, thank you for your endless passion, for realizing that passion mustn't come at the expense of well-being. Thank you for being a great managing editor but above all thank you for being you and for being the best friend I always wanted. This is hands-down the most beautiful senior column I've read.

For the Rainbows, that's about as ugly as it can get
Dave Reardon
Here's the good news for the University of Hawaii basketball team. The Warriors get to play a team they will probably beat today. And that's about it.
Expect big things from Jay, but not overnight success
Dave Reardon
Full-speed ahead. That's the vibe I got from Ben Jay when he was finally introduced as the University of Hawaii's new athletic director on Thursday.
Jay's plane-ticket benefit is money poorly spent
Dave Reardon
In this season of giving, the University of Hawaii is displaying its generosity.
Big Christmas Eve turnout would be good for bowl future
Dave Reardon
The magic number for the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl is 14,500. That's how many people are needed in the Aloha Stadium seats on Christmas Eve to guarantee its existence a year from now.
UH had some rare leverage in scheduling with Temple
Dave Reardon
The last thing the University of Hawaii wants to do is follow up the Wonder Blunder with the Temple of Doom. So when the Owls came a-hootin' around again recently about playing a football game here, the Warriors brass was rightfully cautious.
Te'o has all the attributes to win Heisman, except one
Dave Reardon
"Te'o's status as a pure defender is kryptonite to his candidacy." — Chris Huston, publisher, HeismanPundit.com
Give Schroeder a break from the constant beatings
Dave Reardon
It's time. It's actually past time. Some would say way overdue. But even those of us who know it is important to give Norm Chow plenty of latitude to build a program his way from the bottom up see it clearly.
King gives Wahine hoops a reason to be optimistic
Dave Reardon
We start with the obvious disclaimer. The opponent was Hawaii-Hilo. Division II. Significantly less-talented. Much smaller. So the Division I big sisters from Manoa did what they were supposed to do Friday when the Wahine hoopsters took care of the visiting Vulcans by 25 points in a preseason exhibition.
McMackin needs to make right choice at QB; his job could depend on it
Dave Reardon
Nothing like a little quarterback controversy to deflect the heat off a coach, who may or may not be unwillingly nearing the end of his term, eh? Actually, the two issues are intermeshed in the University of Hawaii football team's current situation.
Moniz will be missed
Dave Reardon
This wasn't how it was supposed to end for Bryant Moniz, but it almost seemed inevitable. With all the injuries depleting his offensive line and receivers, it's a testament to Moniz's elusiveness and toughness that he didn't get badly hurt sooner than Saturday, in UH's 10th game of the season.
Today's Warriors game could reach far into future
RENO, NEV. » Thankfully, for all concerned, that was quite possibly the shortest eve-of-the-game walk-through in football history. It was a mere 30 minutes of moving around the Mackay Stadium field for the University of Hawaii team in preparation for tonight's game against Nevada's Wolf Pack.
Ault's pistol offense gave Nevada added firepower
Dave Reardon
RENO, Nev. » Joe Sellers knew Chris Ault way back in the 1960s, when a pistol was just a gun, not a trendy football offense.
ILH's No. 2 team should never be left out of states
Dave Reardon
As Kamehameha football coach David Stant walked off the Aloha Stadium field last week, an intended well-wisher told him good luck in states.
Punahou Mafia at work on Warriors football fix
Dave Reardon
Never fear, University of Hawaii football fans. The Punahou Mafia is here. The hui that saved Rainbow Warriors basketball by bringing you the son of a coach who failed miserably at UH is ready for more bold covert action.
This unacceptable loss really hits home
Dave Reardon
You can talk about flukey plays and maybe a bad official's call here and there that went the other way. Because there were some. To the credit of University of Hawaii football coach Greg McMackin and his players, they didn't do that. They didn't make excuses; they accepted accountability.
Would Kreutz hang on for spot on Dream Team?
Dave Reardon
So what'd ole Santa leave in your stocking? Nah, I'm not five months ahead of schedule, or seven months late. You know what I'm talking about if you're a fan of an NFL or MLB team, especially if that team happens to be based in Philadelphia.
Torres' dream job must feel like a nightmare sometimes
Dave Reardon
Last year was supposed to be Kahuku's year. This year is supposed to be Kahuku's year. Remember when every year was Kahuku's year? Now, things are on hold again, this time because of turmoil at the top.
Warriors 1-for-2 wearing the favorite's helmet
Dave Reardon
We've been down this road before. Twice actually, in 2003 and 2007.
Favorable schedule sets up Nevada for WAC title run
Dave Reardon
In a perfect world the schedule wouldn't matter in college football. But there it is, and that's why Nevada — despite losing a couple of superstars to the NFL — is in a great position to win at least a share of the Western Athletic Conference football championship, as it did last year, tying with Hawaii and Boise State.
Former UH pitcher Pribble on target with his first book
Dave Reardon
"Perhaps there was room for an interloper, a haole, a redneck Jew-boy such as myself, under this beautiful Hebrew rainbow." Aaron Pribble came up with that passage from Israel in 2007. Four years later at the Ward Starbucks he has a seemingly unrelated trivia question for me.
Arnold not running from what seems to be a frivolous claim
Dave Reardon
Is that all there is? There'd better be more to come from the University of Hawaii and a couple of whiny hoopsters.
For Salas and others around NFL, the wait is almost over
Dave Reardon
Here's a new one: Ownership requesting formation of a union. Yes, technically it's re-formation of the NFL Players Association, but it's still an example of how complicated, crazy and turned-around things can get in labor negotiations -- especially when you're talking about highly-specialized laborers like the best football players in the world.
Kekaula takes bold approach in assembling dream team
Dave Reardon
With few exceptions, sportscasters used to be processed with a cookie cutter. Now — and perhaps we can partially thank ESPN's penchant for employing quirky anchors — it's vive la différence.
Appreciating the beauty of sport, soccer to boxing
Dave Reardon
He went to every meet. He was extremely involved, knew everything about the athletes and followed all levels of competition. Then his kid graduated, completing her high school track and field career. And superfan was never seen again.
Viloria draws inspiration from Hawaii's small crowd
Dave Reardon
He's given everything. Now he's even bled on some who were at ringside Saturday night. When that right eye swelled up and started to drip crimson midway through Saturday's fight at the Blaisdell, it looked like Brian Viloria's chance at a third world championship might fall by the wayside.
Greenwood is keeping a watchful eye on UH athletics
Dave Reardon
If you follow sports closer than other goings-on at the University of Hawaii (and you probably do), you can consider M.R.C. Greenwood undefeated in the big games. She is 1-0.
Marriage re-energizes Viloria as he seeks title
Dave Reardon
Seven months later and the honeymoon has yet to end for Brian and Erica Viloria, who were wed last Dec. 3 at the Royal Hawaiian.
Save a spot for Yao Ming in basketball Hall of Fame
Dave Reardon
Many of my friends maintain very high standards when it comes to fitness for enshrinement in sports halls of fame.
Catching an early glimpse of Jeter's run at history
Dave Reardon
The end of the road on Sept. 16, 1998, was Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., 150 miles from home at the time in Gainesville. Prone on the backseat of my friend Mark Cooper's car, stricken by food poisoning, it seemed we crossed three time zones, not just three counties.
Forcier deserves a shot, same as Colt got
Dave Reardon
Tate Forcier became more than just a subject of idle offseason chatter Thursday with the not-so-surprising revelation that the former Michigan quarterback will make an official visit to the University of Hawaii next week.
Victorino's toughest competition did not make Final Vote ballot
Dave Reardon
Shane Victorino has a banged-up thumb right now. So the Phillies center fielder from Maui might have a hard time voting for himself a few thousand times to help ensure making the National League All-Star team as the last man in.
Beil's homecomings are only temporary
Dave Reardon
For Larry Beil this week, aloha means welcome home.
But the former KGMB sports director, University of Hawaii radio play-by-play voice and ESPN SportsCenter anchor can never completely escape his current San Francisco viewer base — even while on vacation home in Hawaii.
Hawaii bowler Mizo 1 pin short of rolling 2 straight 300 games
Dave Reardon
It's not really supposed to be this way, but in most cases perfection is relative. We already knew it was fleeting.
Wong's career off to exciting start
Dave Reardon
One day, Busch Stadium, the next day the bush leagues. But it's still all good for Kolten Wong.
Nah ... make that all great.
Kaimana Awards find gems beyond the prep scoreboard
Dave Reardon
It's a stock question, one I've been tossing at former high school athletes for a long time. As it turns out, maybe too long.
'Not strong' draft is least of NBA's offseason problems
Dave Reardon
The most telling quote during Thursday's NBA Draft coverage came from Jonas Valanciunas, who might someday play for the Toronto Raptors.
Governor's rants ill-advised, but raise some good questions
Dave Reardon
Neil Abercrombie has a long history of bluntly and loudly questioning authority and taking non-establishment points of view. That's what you do when you're a campus activist.
Murphy moves into future at his usual fast pace
Dave Reardon
Pierce Murphy took a rare day off Saturday ... mostly because he doesn't know the running routes around Waikiki all that well.
Mountain West needs to prove it on the field
Dave Reardon
The nonconference schedule is very big for Hawaii this football season: Sept. 1, at Wisconsin; Sept. 3, against Georgia in Atlanta; Sept. 10, at Arkansas; Sept. 17, Colorado; Sept. 24, Nebraska AND at Michigan.
Prep ADs should fix state football problem
Dave Reardon
Once again, the state high school athletic directors annual confab can be noted more for what is not being discussed and voted upon than what is.
Local Ohio State alum surprised and saddened
Dave Reardon
Scott Terna has a front-row seat at the circus, but it's a circus of frowning clowns. The former Punahou athlete and Ohio State punter (1993-94) lives in Buckeye headquarters, Columbus, Ohio.
Fine seasons by UH teams not hurt by fizzling finishes
Dave Reardon
As human beings and sports fans, we tend to remember what happens last. That's too bad for the University of Hawaii athletic department. Overall, UH had a fine 2010-11 sports year. But even some of the best UH teams didn't leave the best final impression.
Pro teams pledge to stick it out
Dave Reardon
Jayson Rego didn't get a lot of playing time, and, hence, didn't harbor big expectations for a pro football career when his five years as a running back at the University of Hawaii concluded in 2009.
Posey's injury regrettable, but that won't change rules
Dave Reardon
If you're of a certain age you might remember when it was acceptable and often encouraged at all levels of baseball to plow into a catcher with the intent of dislodging the ball and scoring a run.
Some pro athletes have knack for making people feel special
Dave Reardon
These days I don't really have favorite athletes as much as favorite people, some of whom happen to be athletes.
Pounding of NMSU brings to mind other honest-to-goodness blowouts
Dave Reardon
Hey, relax there, New Mexico State. It's not the end of the world. But rapture had to look good to the Aggies after losing 24-3 to Hawaii yesterday. That was a college baseball game, by the way.
The Home Team signs off as TV hub for UH sports
Dave Reardon
Is there a statute of limitations on unauthorized moonlighting? Reason I ask is if a reward exists for reporting such a heinous crime, I'd like to file a report, officer.
'Bows combine resiliency, luck and ... forgetfulness
Dave Reardon
There's no logic to explain this one. And, then again, it's no surprise to those who have been watching it happen -- and those who have been making it happen -- over and over again all season.
Wong's wait to go pro proved pivotal for Hawaii baseball
Dave Reardon
Has it really been three years already? Three years since the end of the Colton (Brennan) Era and the start of the Kolten (Wong) Era in University of Hawaii sports?
Title IX is a great thing, but don't pretend it's perfect
Dave Reardon
A group of University of Hawaii athletes watched from the side as their school hosted the Western Athletic Conference track and field championships this week, wondering why they can't be in the competition.
Signing of Stokes reconnects Hawaii hoops with New York City
Dave Reardon
Shaquille Stokes. You gotta love the name of the University of Hawaii's latest basketball recruit, right? It screams hoops, doesn't it?
Another Brostek beast sprouts on the Big Island
Dave Reardon
Bern Brostek was robbed. He never got the respect he deserved as an NFL offensive lineman. We're not talking All-Pro, although I suppose you could make a case for that if you wanted. No, something even more select ... All-Madden.
Moanalua rides Manago's spirit into state baseball tournament
Dave Reardon
You don't have to believe in the supernatural to understand the Moanalua baseball team and its relationship with a star pitcher from its 2010 team, Zach Manago.
Boise State knitted itself into NCAA doghouse; is UH next?
Dave Reardon
Welcome to the big time, Boise State. There's no way you could be this good for this long without cheating, and the NCAA knows it.
Rainbow Wahine start to thrive on 'smaller' brand of softball
Dave Reardon
"So, does she hit one out now to win it?" It was the bottom of the seventh. The PA guy, Mark Carpenter, wanted to know if he could start packing up, or if we were headed for extra innings at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium.
Green, Salas and Pilares to get lesson in waiting
Dave Reardon
You work hard all through college to prepare. At the career fair, you prove you can handle the heavy lifting and complete all required tasks quickly. At the interviews, you answer all the questions, even the stupid ones, the right way.
Arnold's contract ordeal points to problems at UH
Dave Reardon
The University of Hawaii should be embarrassed. Apparently dots for the i's and crosses for the t's are in such short supply on campus that there aren't enough to complete contracts for UH coaches in a timely manner.
Royal wedding vs. NFL Draft is truly a reality matchup
Dave Reardon
You can call them the ultimate reality shows. hey meet the criteria of not having anything to do with OUR reality. One is about guys most of us will never meet getting their first jobs out of college. The other is about a couple none of us know, getting married in a faraway land.
Pink for cancer awareness is better in small doses
Dave Reardon
OK, those of you thinking it but afraid to say it, come on.
Repeat after me: Pink stinks.
Too much of it does, that is.
Statistics are meant to be 'kept' no matter how you do the math
Dave Reardon
My favorite book when I was a kid was "The Baseball Encyclopedia." It was mostly a 20-pound compilation of the stats of everyone who ever played in the majors.
Punahou's amazing, long run ends, and that makes some people happy
Dave Reardon
When I told a friend I was covering Punahou baseball yesterday, he got very excited about the prospect of the Buffanblu losing, and losing by a lot.
Rainbows set the table, but just could not score
Dave Reardon
At least they made it interesting, sort of. That's about all you can say regarding the University of Hawaii baseball team's 3-0 loss yesterday at the hands of Louisiana Tech and the left arm of its starting pitcher, Mike Jefferson.
Monico's version of hitting a lot different than his dad's
Dave Reardon
The Warrior Bowl ended and most of the players gathered with family and friends to begin their weekend. For Jordan Monico, however, it was time to go to work.
Aranda's genius a blend of Emerson and Ali
Dave Reardon
Dave Aranda doesn't get the erase part of dry erase. he board on his office wall overflows with X's and O's, and it's hard to tell where one play begins and another ends.
Thinking out loud about rail, softball, late friend
Dave Reardon
Mufi Hannemann, the former Honolulu mayor, says he's "seriously looking at" a run at the United States senate when retiring Daniel Akaka's seat opens up next year.
Masters' must-see final round brought to you, in part, by Tiger
Dave Reardon
My original plan for yesterday had nothing to do with the Masters, except to periodically check on how my fantasy golf lineup was doing. Generally, I view watching golf on TV the same way George Carlin did, including a sentiment that can't be printed here.
Football trips to neighbor islands ensure healthy statewide fan base
Dave Reardon
Since everything's about budgets and expenses these days, let's get right to the first question Tommy Taxpayer will have about the University of Hawaii football team's day trip to the Big Island yesterday.
Secret to Champion's success? Hard work, eating right — duh!
Dave Reardon
Secrets to Garrett Champion's success? One is home cookin'. What's on the plate at dinner time helps Champion in his work behind it at gametime. The University of Hawaii junior catcher prepares his own healthy meals.
No easy answers for prep and UH money matters
Dave Reardon
Dwight Toyama deserves a happy, peaceful retirement. After all, here is a man who literally gave of himself to a stranger. In 2002, Toyama donated a kidney ... not to a family member or friend, but to the person needing it most.
Hawaii's offensive line continues 'growing' up
Dave Reardon
Kaniela Tuipulotu wincing in pain, pulling off his pads, receiving treatment. Vaughn Meatoga limping around the field, also out of the action. Relax, University of Hawaii football fans, no one's trying to scare you. Neither of the stellar starting defensive tackles is seriously injured or expected to be out of spring practice for long.
'Bows' Brackenridge does a lot even when he doesn't do much
Dave Reardon
It was a classic college baseball series — meaning plenty of runs, 54 in four games to be exact. And since many more of them were scored by Hawaii than Wichita State, the Rainbows can head into the start of conference play next week with a full tank of confidence.
VCU, Butler give UH reason to believe
Dave Reardon
What's not to like for isle basketball fans about this Final Four? Three of the teams played in Hawaii last November and December, and the one that didn't is coached by a fellow named Shaka.
Ex-Warrior Kevin Jackson embraces rebuilding mode
Dave Reardon
He was on the eighth floor and the building kept shaking. Kevin Jackson, 29, had a lot of time to ponder if he was going to get out alive, or if this was going to be "like 9/11."
4 close losses to Fullerton painful for Trapasso, UH
Dave Reardon
Somebody brushed off the old "Who's on First?" routine and it blared through the Les Murakami Stadium speakers.
Faithful in Laie can look forward to more from BYUH
Dave Reardon
It didn't take long. Just 1 second from utter frustration to sincere appreciation. Quickly after the realization that it was over — the final opportunity frittered, the dream extinguished — the Brigham Young-Hawaii fans broke into long, steady clapping.
Murakami Stadium's maniacs are always on duty in the front row
Dave Reardon
In his job, Wes Pratt puts out blazes. In his hobby, he fans the flames.
Centenary-UH a better fit as a season-opening series
Dave Reardon
Hawaii baseball finally got over the .500 hump with its 5-0 win over Centenary yesterday. A victory today for a four-game sweep would be huge as the Rainbows (10-9) prepare to host No. 13 Cal State Fullerton (11-7) and No. 26 Wichita State (13-6) in back-to-back series before the WAC schedule starts.
Amis will be missed as the 'Bows go on
Dave Reardon
With about 5 minutes left in last night's game, I started to really think about how much I'd miss watching Bill Amis play basketball. Sure, Hawaii was up by seven, and then by nine when the senior forward scored with 4:11 left.
Forget Louisville; this Cinderella would be happy just to take down Snoop Dogg
Dave Reardon
My March Madness brackets have been so bad in recent years I figured it was time to lower expectations. So I picked a bunch of underdogs in the office pool with the idea that my chance of winning it all anyway was the same as Alabama State's: slim and none. And Slim left town Wednesday, town being Dayton, Ohio, home of what they now call the First Four.
Hawaii's effort worthy of attention, attendance
Dave Reardon
Was the Stan Sheriff Center half full or half empty last night?
All depends on how you want to look at it.
Bounce-back shows 'Bows know they need to keep perspective
Dave Reardon
Remember that movie "Fever Pitch?" Maybe not. It was pretty lame. It's not cool to disguise a romantic comedy as a sports flick. There were only a couple of things I liked about it.
Rainbows turn a positive into a negative yet again
Dave Reardon
University of Hawaii baseball coach Mike Trapasso greeted me with a smile after yesterday's game. Not a happy smile. "You'll have fun with this one," he said. I tried to explain I take no joy in documenting his team losing, especially an implosion like the one yesterday.
MMA missing the mayhem Miller, '80s boxers brought
Dave Reardon
Let's face it. MMA in Hawaii is dead on its legs.
Shhh! Basketball 'Bows are in before they're out
Dave Reardon
Come closer, because I have to whisper this. Go ahead and make your plans to be at the Stan Sheriff Center next Tuesday. But do it quietly, please. Don't distract the University of Hawaii men's basketball team. If the Rainbows even know that they're a lock to play in the postseason (that is, if the CollegeInsiders.com Tournament counts), they aren't talking about it.
Sakata back in the bushes grooming future world champs
Dave Reardon
When Lenn Sakata watched the San Francisco Giants win the World Series last fall it was with mixed emotions. A lot of the Giants were his guys, players he'd helped to the major leagues when he managed the high Class A San Jose Giants.
Warriors have the goods to be good again
Dave Reardon
There's no threat of a lockout here. It's early March, and this year that means it's football season in Manoa. Fall camp is in the summer, so there's no reason why University of Hawaii spring practice can't start in winter, right?
Murakami made to wait for call from Hall of Fame
Dave Reardon
A key figure from the 1980 College World Series was recently voted into the College Baseball Foundation Hall of Fame. However, in what has to be disappointing for University of Hawaii fans, it's not Les Murakami, who coached the Rainbows to a runner-up finish in Omaha that year.
Yonamine persists as bastion of grace under pressure
Dave Reardon
Americans hated him for being Japanese and Japanese hated him for being American. Death threats from the yakuza and rocks from the stands were an exotic and dangerous twist. Lonely status as an unwanted outsider was nothing new; if anything, it was a recurring theme of the early years for Wally Yonamine, who died Monday at 85.
Double-play liner by George is a good way for the 'Bows to go
Dave Reardon
It's one of those confounding things about baseball. In the short term, it would have been better if Conner George did anything other than what he did with the bases loaded and one out. Even if he'd struck out.
Senior night offers glimpse of Rainbows' bright future
Dave Reardon
What a doubleheader for University of Hawaii sports fans, even those who didn't get to see the conclusion of the baseball team's 5-4, 15-inning victory over Texas.
Rainbows a little too at E's, and no good can come of that
Dave Reardon
Don't worry too much about all those zeroes next to "RAINBOWS" on the Les Murakami Stadium scoreboard last night.
How many more deaths until the NFL wakes up?
Dave Reardon
All fans of the NFL certainly agree it's a big positive that representatives of the owners and players have finally found themselves in the same room the past few days, negotiating to avoid a lockout, work stoppage or whatever you want to call it.
UH's lack of energy in loss offsets magical first 2 games
Dave Reardon
Hawaii was full of energy and spirit and fight and all those other good things you like in a team the first two games of its opening series with Oregon.
Christenson came through when the going got tough
Dave Reardon
The chants came from the students behind the Kamehameha bench as Micah Christenson went to the free-throw line. Warriors leading by more than enough, 22 seconds left to a state basketball championship.
Wong, 'Bows embrace small(er) ball
Dave Reardon
A sleeker Kolten Wong than the one who hit 18 home runs in his first two seasons at the University of Hawaii greeted us before practice at Les Murakami Stadium this week, as the preseason All-American and his fellow Rainbows completed preparations for tonight's season opener against Oregon.
'Bows fans think postseason after victory over Nevada
Dave Reardon
Two days ago we weren't even sure Hawaii would make it to the men's basketball conference tournament. After the stirring overtime win against Nevada on Monday it still hasn't technically punched its ticket to Las Vegas.
Like all fighters, Rainbows needed a chance to recuperate
Dave Reardon
Those bye weeks in football can cut either way. A hot team can cool off and lose its sharpness. But, generally, especially late in the season as injuries and other stresses pile up, extra time between games is considered heaven-sent.
Security of CFL keeps Owens from taking the risky NFL bait
Dave Reardon
Chad Owens is a bright guy, always has been. And with a recent important career decision he finds himself in the company of another intelligent young man, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck.
Wahine show they're more wonder women than bat girls
Dave Reardon
The doubters had to love that first time around the lineup. The Michele Smiths of the world and all the other softball traditionalists who want to go back to the 11-inning, 1-0 snoozefests would have been overjoyed.
Wahine softball team aims to stay on top
Dave Reardon
Check out the fence. It's the one that the University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine knocked so many softballs over last year that UH broke the NCAA record for home runs.
