Most families in Thiruvananthapuram have a favourite Chinese restaurant in Trivandrum, usually for chilli chicken and fried rice. We serve those, then keep going. At Kowdiar, our Nooshi kitchen cooks Indo-Chinese favourites next to Thai curries and Japanese-style teriyaki and kabayaki. At Venpalavattom, the menu leans on wok-fried starters, Phuket Grilled Prawns and Tibetan Fried Rice.
At Kowdiar, order Dragon Chicken for the table, Thai Red Curry for the adults and Beijing Chicken for the child who only eats crispy things. Everyone gets their own kind of Asian, from one kitchen, on one bill.
