Malayali cuisine (from Kerala) is inspired by the coconut and the sea, as exemplified by the delicious konju theng -- prawn curry in a mild, turmeric-colored coconut sauce -- and the coconut-based mutton stew. Coconut Grove also features spicy Chettinad cuisine from Tamil Nadu, which you can sample in a mixed platter served on a banana leaf. Order any other main course with appams, Kerala's inimitable fluffy rice-based flatbreads, and use the bread to scoop up the morsels. The restaurant is cavernous and plain, with green tablecloths the only real nod to South India.
