Why a restaurant hall

A banquet hall in Trivandrum where the food is the point

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.

Compare our AC halls in Trivandrum

Both are run by the same events team, and both take up to 500 guests. The differences are location, style and features.

Food and packages

Menus built around your guests

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.

Good to know

Banquet hall questions, answered

Capacity, parking, food and prices at Starlite and Moonlite. Anything else, call Kowdiar on 0471 2311 789 or Venpalavattom on +91 77361 61222.

How many guests can your banquet halls hold?

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.

Are your halls air-conditioned?

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.

How much does it cost to book a banquet hall?

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.

Who handles the food and décor?

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.

Is there parking at the halls?

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.

Is this an auditorium or a banquet hall?

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.
