The place is still as good as it was many years back. Hope the road in front of it gets smart quickly,it's affecting the business bad.

Awesome fish dishes
Food was good. Crowded during lunch time. The sardines were great (deep fried).

Easy accessibility. Limited parking space. Variety sea food options available. Reasonably priced tasty food.

This hotel is famous for their fish dishes. I have tried Tuna fry and it was like above average. But the meal and vegetable options are just average.

This old is gold lunch spot is inside chalai market which is in city centre. Its a very good place for a decent meals and fish fry. No much variety of fish or curries are available but whatever they serve is so tempting
Just like normal hotel. Not wow taste food
We had ordered biriyanis. Too much masala and big rice looks like boiled rice. Also rice overcooked and sticky. Too costly as compared to other restaurants. The cheapest thing i ever experienced that they demanding for tip.
One of the good restaurants in Trivandrum. As the name says it is a pure Kerala restaurant that offers meals and biriyani nowadays as the road in front of the restaurant is not operational. Meals and side dishes are ok. Biriyani was also above average, but I doubt a less quantity.

Parking is very limited outside and once you enter the restaurant it's very spacious and the Air conditioned hall is not operational nowadays. Customer handling is also a plus point.
A casual place to dine in with average food. We went there while we were in Trivandrum during lunch. We ordered a couple of items, biryani, rice, noodles, raita, mix veg, and our friends ordered some non-veg items. Of these noodles was the best of all, and the rest of the items were average.

So it's like, you can be there to fill your stomach but may not be Abel to satiate your hunger. The place is economical and so is the food. But you get an air conditioned place to sit, the seating arrangements are good, and the service is ok.
One of my favourite food spot at trivandrum.
Delicious and well cooked food

How can the food can be so plain...ordered meals and two types of fish fry. Fish was a decade old dead fish. I wonder how someone can make all Currys in same taste. Atmosphere is very unhygienic. Make me puke after I had the food. Felt so weird so I am writing like this. Never ever.
Okay food, veg meals did not have good side curry options. Fish curry was okay but Not that great. Service was not good , staff was in a hurry and seemed frustrated. Haven't really tried the other variety of sea food options, maybe those are good but the interior and total atmosphere is dull and The wash area was quite unhygienic so probably won't do a second visit.

The overall experience at Steampot, Pattom, Thiruvananthapuram left me with mixed feelings. While the hotel garnered significant hype, I found it to be somewhat overrated. The ambiance was pleasant. The restaurant, Steampot, offered an average dining experience; the menu was diverse, but the execution fell short of the anticipated culinary excellence. On the positive side, the staff was courteous, and the presentation of dishes was commendable.

Options for food was very less. Only ayala was available. Boiled rice was not boiled enough. Thenga paal fish curry was just okay but less portions that we had to order kottayam fish curry which was very spicy. God, pls give them the courage to visit kottayam and find good fish curry. Appam was good.
How ever, the place is a good place for meet ups.

Avoid at any cost!!! typical overhyped restaurant.

The service was ok, staff were friendly and courteous. But, the food is pathetic apart from the mango fish curry. Prawns in the prawns fry was not de-veined, tried their Ayala fry, and Choora fry along with the prawn fry, they all looked beautiful giving you a similar vibe of Calicut Amma mess fish fry but tasted raw and bland, the masala was just for show topped up on the fish.

Even of you are hungry and starving stay that way than eating out from this restaurant.

A friend suggested the hot kanji when I was sick and it felt like the best meal I had in the longest time. The kanji came with 5 or more different side dishes, all of which felt truly like a very yummy home cooked meal. It made me feel so much better. Highly suggest the meal on a day you feel sick and crave a homely meal.

Place seemed overrated. Fish curry meals was below average. Pish polichathu was fry and curry. Will not recommend. Place was so hot , air conditioning is just for name sake. You get better seafood at this price else where. Only saving grace were the cordial hosts/ servers. Veg meals was really bland.

This place is easy find off the highway but almost nondescript from outside. That is till you step inside where you find rustic architecture inviting you to indulge. Seemingly this place used to be connected to royalty of yesteryear, adds to the aura of Maya. Food was authentic and staff are very courteous.
Beautiful malabar biryani. Consistently great! It really hits the spot for me. I highly recommend 4.9/5
Kerala meals 4/5
Lime juice good
Excellent service!
There are no photos for now, next time I'll surely take.

Very Good Ambience. Service was excellent. Food Order Manager was very courteous and humble. Waiters were quite exemplary. Dining place is a cottage in the ground floor . A lot of dining rooms. Two storey Eatery. We ordered for Mutton Stew with Appam and Tharavadu Mappas with Noodle Paratha. Both dishes are Super Tasty and Yummy.

Just the ambience is great. The staff and the food isn't. The chicken was undercooked and I had informed the person who served us about it. All that he did was, hear us and bring the cheque. Extremely condescending.

Great food, amazing ambience, just off the main road to Airport, it feels like a world away from the hussle & bussle of the city.
Want to impress a date, bring them here.
Generous portions, so be ready to eat a lot of tasty & rich food.

The ambience and the food is to die for! This is a fine dining restaurant with excellent outdoor seating available which you need to book in advance. The vegetarian options however are limited. We had kebabs, gnocchi and one traditional Kerala meal which all tasted great but had to wait too long for the food to arrive. This is a great place for gatherings or romantic getaways!

If you want good tasty and traditional Kerala food with a better ambience, quality service, moderately and reasonably priced menu, this place is the right choice. Tried the meals thali, really good food. Only issue is parking, there is no place for 4 wheelers to park.
I tried the kappa biriyani, it was super nice the quantity in they serve is more as one is enough for both 2 people. It is only 175(technically 87 for each). There is also lots of seafood for low price.
There is an issue of space . If you're going out with friends you might have to wait a bit for sitting together. Parking can also be an issue .
The service was good.

Pankayam Palayam - Step into a world of good vibes and great ambiance. But brace yourself for the battle of finding a table, as this place is always packed, thanks to its reputation for good food. Despite having enough seats, it's still a challenge to snag one!
💰 On the downside, the food comes with a hefty price tag that might leave your wallet feeling a little lighter. The taste is alright, not outstanding, and the experience might not justify the cost. Choose wisely before indulging! #AmbienceGalore #FoodieHaven #CrowdedDelights #TasteOrExpense
It was a really pleasant experience here! Tried the Onam Sadhya and it did not disappoint! Really liked the staff's work and the main point, food was really good and had good variety! Couldn't have asked for more! :D

The ambiance of the restaurant is pleasant, creating a positive atmosphere for diners. However, I have some doubts about the authenticity of the reviews since they offer a free dessert in exchange for reviewing on Google Maps. Unfortunately, during my visit, the restaurant's kitchen was undergoing maintenance, which resulted in the unavailability of seafood and other menu options.

Over spicy food.

We ordered sheshwang chicken fried rice, porotta, veeshappam, dragon chicken and chicken curry.
The fried rice was over spicy that it was not at all edible.
We just let them know about this while paying bill and their reply amused us that the fried rice as is spicy. Attaching images so that the viewers can judge the spiceness.
One of the best Kerala thalis I've had in a while.. The prawns fry, fish fry and Beef roast are too good to miss out on.
The friendly and hospitable staff add charm to the entire experience.. Kudos to the efficient management by the owners, Annu and Chinnu!!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Steampot restaurant ,a restaurant located at Pottakuzhy. The restaurant has a couple of tables for those who want to dine in. Most of the orders they receive are parcel orders.

The food-

I decided to try their Veg Meals and Ayala Fry.

Veg Meals costed ₹110/- and it was quite good for the price and it also included gulab jamun.

Ayala fry costed ₹140/- which tasted okay but the pricing too high considering what they serve.

I would suggest those who visit here to try their Fish Biriyani.

Standard meals with good quality and taste.
Varieties of fish dishes available.
Small space but organized.
Service is good.
The cost is a bit high compared to normal hotels but can adjust.
Parking space is available near the road.
Recommended.
Very tasty sambar by the way.

Nice food and great rustic ambiance. The place felt neat and tidy. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The only thing which could be better is that there are so many staff trying to serve simultaneously which felt a bit intimidating- I will be happy with one staff catering to a customer.

Over all good food and good ambiance
The food was really tasty and yummy at a much affordable rate. A great place to try nadan food items. The taste of homely made food. Portion size is also good. But the one thing that literally hits the face when walked into the restaurant is the smell. And this is for me personally, because I have a very delicate nose. The food was brought in without much delay. Easy to get the attention of the staff if needed. A lot of variety for non veg eaters. If you are a meat enthusiast, this is a must try place.
We ordered a mixed chattichoru which had a lot of veg curry , fish curry, fish fry , omelette , beef curry , pappadam etc..
And I have to say that all the items were really so stunning.❤️

This place got one hell of an ambiance! Great place to spend your evening with your loved ones. Atmosphere is amazing, great service as well. If you like to sit outside then you need to do the reservation otherwise the place is packed. The food is average and probably little expensive for what it is. If the taste was good then it would have been a completely different story because you don't mind paying if the food is good. But overall, this place is a must visit if you are in Trivandrum.

The menu mostly has Kerala cuisine. Among other dishes, they serve different types of puttu with fillings which is unique to them since the time they started.

We were 2 people and we ordered Pazhankanji and Athazha choru with Beef Ularthiyath. The quantity of food was great.

The Athazhachoru was basically rice meals served at night. The beef ularthiyath was good and the remaining curries were okay. The pazhankanji did not taste like actual pazhankanji. They tried to pass off normal rice mixed with curd as pazhankanji. As you can see in the photo, it was more like curd rice and not at all like kanji.

The restaurant does not have a lot of dininig area. Perhaps max 20-25 people can sit there.

A fine dine place which is aesthetically designed and well maintained. Its an old villa converted to a boutique restaurant.
Lots of tropical elements. The ambience is amazing. Theres both indoor and outdoor dining. Usually crowded, hence better to reserve before you go.
The food tastes great as well. They offer some unique dishes. The service is also exemplary.

This is a hotel with a lot of history. I often visited this hotel since my childhood with my parents.

If you are looking for meals with good fish curry, kappa and fish fry, this is one of the best spots in Trivandrum. They have tuna and prawns fry most of the day.

The hotel is crowded most of the time and you may need to wait to get seats there. Try to reach before 2.30 p.m or else some of the items may be finished.

Absolutely brilliant place. Really good ambience in this place. Food was pretty dope as well. We ordered a veg meals and teamed it with some seafood. The spices were on point not too spicy either.

It's a must try place. Really loved it. Will definitely come again.

Food is good. There was only one person for serving around 24 PPL. While I empathise with the one man service team, it's a big miss from the management. And this was during the lunch time. Second rice was not served in many tables. Very poor management. It's like one of the best ways to shut down a good spot.

Good hotel, we visited here yesterday, 11 am reach there but the restaurant open by 12pm only, but they alow to wait, nice suport From workers, at a time around 40 pepoles can eat that's it it's was so busy.

Price was OK, but that rice was fully kerala rice so that taste we can't to eat more, only fish carry avilbe, rasam, that's it no more other teams. Three types of fishes available on that day,

***Ayla meen full fry 160rs (2 fishes) Must recommended.
**Prawn deep oil fry with masla. 180rs
(8 to 10 ps) okay.
* surai meen 160rs (5 to 6 ps) taste we don't like feel dry fish.

This three fishes and 2 meals they charged 760rs for us.

All fishes We feel litil Bit solty,

Fully sweating, feel uncomfortable becuse visited with our kids. ,..

Over all if you like kerala style food it's good place. Must 1 try.

Big challenge was hotel location... We can't to found without Google map.
Only fish meals are available and for vegetarians they provide the same food but they don't give fish fry and the fish curry they give a fruit curry which is made by mango and pineapple and it is mouthwatering
The ambience is very good and you have to stand in a line but the line is very fast moving as soon as you sit they provide plantain leaf and with some vegetables and then the main course join
Overall the restaurant is very good

Food was good, service is ok, the ambience and hygeine could have been better. A proper seafood restaurant in vazhuthacaud area.
Tried their avoli fry, prawns roast, fish curry meals. All were properly cooked and tasty
I tried out kappa biriyani, it was awesome. The content is so much. One is enough for two people. It is only 175(technically 87 for each). There is also lots of seafood for low price.
There is an issue of space . If you're going out with friends you might have to wait a bit for sitting together. Parking can also be an issue .
The service was good.

Came here for seafood, and I was not disappointed. Had the Kakka erachi and konju fry. Really good, and I would recommend it. It is a very small place. Don't come here for ambiance, but food is exceptional.
The service was great. But unfortunately, just a good service dosnt make a hotel review good. The food was not at all fresh (ie fish) we ordered veg meals and they provided plain fish gravy along it it we ordered ayila, choora and naymeen (all fry)was just not at all fresh and it was served cold. I could see black spots inside the fish. We came here with great expectations but unfortunately ended up eating cold food. Talking about the price, I would say it’s expensive for what they serve. 200-250 for the cold fish.
Sitting Area was clean as I said, I would give 5 star for the service they provide with always a smile on their face.
Absolutely no parking area for cars. It’s in a one way road.
Bike parking is available.

Note:- as I always say I give my review honestly, according to my personal experience and I’m not influenced by any means. Others might have a different experience.

They serve only "oonu" With kappa, fish curry and fish fry.Felt like homely food. We tried prawns fry and tuna fry, both are really good. Nice service. We payed 500 rs for 2 oonu, one prawns fry and tuna fry.
Ordered fish curry meals from here .Special thing about this was had tried their -*Kerala fish curry meals BOX*.Surprisingly it was good.Enough quantity for a person to eat infact more ,well packed.The box had rice , chamandi, aviyal ,piyar fry, kichidi & pickle .Rest of the curries like sambhar , moru curry ,fish curry & Payasam too 😊,packed separately.Worth buying.yummy and tasty !!🥰
Being a trivian, Sagara Restaurant is not a new try for me. This time when i landed Trivandrum,i was really missing the seafood and came here.

As usual, they didn’t fail in welcoming us nicely and ordering is not at all a hard task as the staffs are so good in recommending us the best options.

We tried Kanava thoran, Karimeen Pollichathu and Prawns Puttu. The puttu was so soft and prawns masala was so yummy. The Kanava thoran which they served first was finished before the Puttu came and so it turned into a good starter. And the Karimeen masala again was awesome.

Comparing with other seafood restaurants, the prices are slightly on the higher side, but obviously worth it for the food they serve. They even arrange juices or shakes from nearby options in very less time.

The ambience and seatings are ok, not that awesome. But for me this place is always in my favorites.
Horrible food, month old frozen fish and there is more than enough oil in the fried rice for America to launch an attack. EXTREMELY OVERPRICED. The owners have spent too much on the ambience and very little on the menu and the cooks. Only plus side here is a very lush parking space to take selfies.

One of the famous lunch spots in Trivandrum, Mubarak Hotel is situated in the busy Chalai Market. It's a hotel with years of history and so very popular among the people in and around Trivandrum.

I have tried their Meal with Fish Fry. The meal was decent with all side dishes and the Kappa curry served along with it was good. Tried their prawns fry (they are known for their fish fry), and was delicious.

As this is one of the busy lunch spots in Trivandrum you will have to wait a little to get a seat but it's a worth visit/wait place, I would say.
Had some biriyani which was too spicy. Too much of spices it was a little bitter taste, but there are 4 big pieces of chicken in it. That too was too spicy. Quantity of the rice was comparatively less due to the large four pieces of chicken. Place is good, ambience is good But the toilet smells too hard to enter due to excess use naphthalene balls.

Such a reasonable place for chaats... That too inside city. Go grab one! From personal experience. Had gone through that area many times but had not entered it.. After this corona event it seems, they had started this chaat corner. But this has become a complete success by taste n price. I donno how popular this place is but my first option for chaat will always be this.

The ambience and peaceful atmosphere are amazing here.You could get to know a homely feel also.Last but not the least,the food is also great ♥️
What sea food feast it was!! had tummy full of lunch. Fish thali with pomfret fish and mussels fry. Yummy... Thali had heavy bowl of white rice, fish curry with several pieces, butter milk, rasam, sambar, papad, sabji etc. Spent full 1 hr eating the meal. Service is too good, quick, price us reasonable. Highly recommend for fish lovers. Restaurant has varieties of seafood preparations.
The food is good. The porotta was okay. I had duck roast ordered and was not impressed that much, i should say! The ambience is good.
Air conditioned halls are available too in the restaurant. The price was on the higher side.
The duck roast was priced at ₹170 and porotta ₹10 each.
They provide take aways too.
The restaurant is neat and clean.
The service is also not bad.

A decent place for non veg lunch. Taste of food varies. Lunch is good on all days. Biriyani is sometimes average and sometimes bad. Good seating facilities. Good for small gatherings of 10-20 people. They allot seperate rooms if there are more people. So privacy aspect is superb. They are not charging exorbitantly also.

Super hotel which will give customers privacy very much. We can have food with silent environment and neatness is outstanding. Also this hotel was an old christian tharavadu .taste of food is good but masala of fish is average
