Among the busiest restaurants in Kowdiar, a few minutes from Kowdiar Palace. Kerala seafood, biriyani, Arabic grills and Asian dishes under one roof, with the Starlite hall for your celebrations.
Our Kowdiar restaurant sits at Devaswom Board Junction on TTC–Kowdiar Road, close to Kowdiar Palace, Vellayambalam, Kuravankonam and Pattom. It's where central Thiruvananthapuram comes for a long family lunch, a birthday dinner or a quick breakfast before work.
The menu covers Kerala home-style cooking, seafood, biriyani, Arabic grills, Chinese, Thai and Western plates. Kowdiar also has dishes you won't find at our Venpalavattom restaurant near Lulu Mall, including Syrian Chicken Roast, Kabayaki Beef and the Treasure of the Sea platter.

Kowdiar is where that idea meets the city centre. Corporate Chef Yusaf Ali's team cooks Kerala, Indian, Middle Eastern, Asian and Western dishes from one kitchen, every day.
