Guests at full capacity
Starlite is the hall at our Kowdiar restaurant, in the middle of Thiruvananthapuram and minutes from Kowdiar Palace, Vellayambalam and Pattom. Guests from every side of the city reach it easily, and valet parking takes care of the cars. With room for up to 500, it suits a full wedding reception as well as an engagement, a first birthday or a company awards night. Every dish is cooked by the same kitchen that serves our dining room. You plan the guest list; our events team handles the set-up, service and food.
Seven kinds of gatherings that suit a central hall of this size. For receptions, see our wedding, reception and engagement planning, or message us on WhatsApp with your date and guest count.

Kowdiar sits between Vellayambalam, Pattom and Sasthamangalam, so guests from across Trivandrum arrive without a long drive. Valet parking handles the cars.
Your menu comes from the Imperial Kitchen menu, cooked by our Kowdiar kitchen. We've served Iftar buffets and wedding-style sadhya here, and you can taste your menu before the day.
The same events team takes your enquiry, plans the menu, arranges décor in-house or with partner decorators, and runs the service on the day.
Receptions, engagements, birthdays and company events we've hosted at Kowdiar.

Starlite holds up to 500 guests. The exact number depends on your layout, since round tables for a dinner seat fewer people than rows for a presentation. Share your guest count and plan, and we'll suggest the right set-up during your site visit.
We don't publish fixed hall prices, because the cost depends on your menu, guest count and date. Call or WhatsApp us with your details and we'll send a clear quote. We also offer a menu tasting, so you can try the food before you confirm.
