Looking for a banquet hall in Trivandrum? We have two, each for up to 500 guests: Starlite in central Kowdiar and Moonlite near Lulu Mall. Pick the neighbourhood that suits your guests; the food comes from our own restaurant kitchen.
When families in Thiruvananthapuram compare halls, the questions are always the same: how many guests fit, is it air-conditioned, is there parking, and who is cooking? At Imperial Kitchen the last answer is the easy one. Both our halls sit inside our restaurant buildings, so the biriyani, grills and Kerala curries at your event come from the same kitchens that serve our dining rooms every day.
You deal with one team from the first site visit to the last plate. Both halls take up to 500 guests, so the real choice is location and style: Starlite at our Kowdiar restaurant in central Trivandrum, or Moonlite at Venpalavattom, near Lulu Mall and the airport.
Both are run by the same events team, and both take up to 500 guests. The differences are location, style and features.
Our hall at the Kowdiar restaurant, close to Kowdiar Palace, Vellayambalam and Pattom. Valet parking at the door, AC, AV with projector and mics, a green room, and breakout areas and lounges where guests can step away between sessions. It suits engagements, receptions, Iftar gatherings and business meetings.

On the first floor above our Venpalavattom restaurant, near Lulu Mall, the airport and the NH 66 bypass, with lift and ramp access. A movable partition splits the hall 150 / 350, so two events can run at once. Soundproofing, its own food hall and service area, and ample parking.

Planning something bigger? See all our events and celebrations in Trivandrum, or ask about outdoor catering at your own venue.
Most halls ask you to bring a caterer. Ours come with a kitchen. Choose a buffet or a served meal from across our menu: biriyani, Arabic grills and Al Faham, Kerala curries, Chinese and North Indian dishes, and desserts.
We don't publish package prices, because no two events are the same. Your quote depends on the menu, the service style and the guest count, so call us for a quote. We'll share sample menus when you enquire, and you can taste your menu before you confirm.
Book early for weekends and wedding season; those dates go first.
Call or WhatsApp with your date, guest count and preferred hall, and we'll check availability.
See the room, the parking and the set-up options. Call ahead and we'll show you around.
Build your menu with our events team, then taste it before you confirm.
Confirm your booking and talk décor: we arrange it in-house or with our partner decorators. On the day, we run the kitchen and the service.
Capacity, parking, food and prices at Starlite and Moonlite. Anything else, call Kowdiar on 0471 2311 789 or Venpalavattom on +91 77361 61222.
Both halls hold up to 500 guests. Starlite is at our Kowdiar restaurant in central Trivandrum. Moonlite is at Venpalavattom near Lulu Mall, and its movable partition splits it 150 / 350 so two events can run at once. Tell us your guest count and we'll suggest the right hall.
Yes. Both are AC banquet halls inside our restaurant buildings, so guests stay comfortable through Trivandrum's warm afternoons. Starlite adds a green room, breakout areas and lounges; Moonlite is soundproofed, so music and speeches don't disturb diners downstairs.
We don't publish fixed prices, because every event is different. Your quote depends on the menu, the service style and the guest count. Call or WhatsApp with your date and numbers, and our events team will send a clear quote. You can taste the menu before you confirm.
The food for events in our halls is cooked by our own kitchen. That's the reason families book with us. Décor for the stage, flowers and lighting is arranged in-house or through our partner decorators, so you can plan both with the same team.
Yes. Moonlite has ample parking at Venpalavattom, near Lulu Mall and the NH 66 bypass. Starlite at Kowdiar has valet parking. Let us know if you're expecting many cars and we'll plan for it.
It's a banquet hall with a restaurant kitchen, not a standalone auditorium or convention centre. That suits receptions, parties and meetings of up to 500 guests. For bigger weddings, our outdoor catering team can cook at your chosen venue instead.
Share your event date, guest count and preferred hall. Our events team will check availability, send menus and set up a site visit.
