Top Breakfast restaurants in Thiruvananthapuram, India

Had an amazing time at the cafe. We went for the Eid buffet. The spread was really nice. Good food. Nice ambience and amazing customer service. Kudos to the team, especially Mr. Adityan and Ms. Ashley who took care of all our needs. Will be visiting again.

This morning, we enjoyed a masala dosa, karavada, and coffee. They were decent, though not outstanding. The place was a bit crowded, but tolerable. While it's not known for its ambiance, the food is the main attraction. Parking is unavailable, so visitors are advised to park their vehicles on the side road 100 meters away.

My 8 year old has a fondness for this restaurant mainly because of its cleanliness and hospitality. So we visit this place often . Food is consistently good. But soups can be made better . Apart from that, service and ambience is always a delight. During Xmas and all, kids love the decorations . Yday also, paid a visit and Mr. Vipin, there took every effort to give us homely feel during the visit.

Venkadesa Bhavan is a great place for South Indian food! I tried their ghee roast dosa, which was the best I've ever had. The dosa was crispy and yummy, with lots of ghee. I also had their plain dosa, which was really good too.

I tried karavada for the first time, and it was tasty and crunchy. Their filter coffee was amazing, rich and flavorful.

The staff were really nice and the service was great. Whether you're local or visiting, I definitely recommend trying Venkadesa Bhavan for delicious South Indian food. I can't wait to go back.

It is a very small hotel. There are only three tables here.. I ordered the Ghee roast. The Ghee roast and the accompanying chutney and chamanthi were all very good. The tea was average.

Their wash area and tea making area is inside a small space, so they are a bit behind in terms of cleanliness

It is very backward in terms of infrastructure

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.

one of the best original Brahmins hotel in Trivandrum. once you visit Sree padmanabhaswamy Temple, a side visit should be based upon Venkadesha Bhavan. it's not a large, space hotel, but for filling your hunger with traditional South Indian cuisine, this is a go try one. I had breakfast from here- masala dosai, poori with masala and ghee roast along with filter coffee, and chai and as a dessert, we ordered rava kesari. the main dishes were nice( the chutneys could be better in appreance, but for taste it was great) , the dosa was perfect enough in all aspects and poori too was well deserving. The dessert was made for everyone's choice- not so sweet and ghee filled but it was worth the 25/- and size.
for me , it was very budget friendly. just a single chai, poori and kesari all together only costed upto 97/- (rounded upto 100/-). so yeah you fill you tummy along with your heart✨💕
4.6/5

One of my favourite food spot at trivandrum.
Delicious and well cooked food

We only had pastries from there,so I dnt know about other foods...what we ordered was tiramisu and blueberry cheesecake .... To be honest they only looked nice....they tasted nothing like cheesecake and tiramisu.... It was like eating some kind of jelly with different toppings.... It was very bad....

But the staff was very attentive and friendly...the ambience was also good....

We had ordered Masala Dosa, Ghee Roast and Parotta with Korma along with filter coffee! All of them were good. Filter coffee is a must try here. It's an authentic vegetarian affair! Do try at least once 😊

Authentic traditional food!

Their infamous Kara Vada is actually karumuru bonda! It’s sooo crispy as the main ingredient in it is rice flour! Paired with its onion chutney is a lip smacking cracking snack with their authentic filter coffee.

Ghee roast is soaked in freshly made ghee and the aroma and taste screams authenticity!

Their portion sizes are good and is very filling!

I've been visiting this place when I did my Btech from Trivandrum back in 2010. This is my regular place when ever I visit sri padmanabhan temple. Pretty nice food and a holy ambience.

Kerala meals 4/5
Lime juice good
Excellent service!
There are no photos for now, next time I'll surely take.

This is a very old and famous place in Trivandrum. The food that they provide is very tasty. I had masala dosa, ghee roast, and karavada from here. Everything tasted good. The coffee and tea available here is also very good. And they provide food at a reasonable price. But the problem with this place is the lack of cleanliness. I wouldn't go here again because of this issue. This place is not maintained properly. It's always busy here. Only kerbside parking is available.

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.

Delicious food 😍😋

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

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!!

Visited Apollo Dimora with family and had lunch at their restaurant ‘Hive’ 🥗. It was an excellent experience for us. Food was great and the staff were very courteous, especially Anvar who had been super supportive. He had even arranged a walk around of the property for us. My spouse was really stunned by the Surprise Birthday cake 🎂 they have planned for her. A peaceful abode in the middle of city hustle.

We went there for a dinner buffet and enjoyed the food and hospitality. Starters were really good especially the beef coconut fry. we don’t have to wait for anything and really liked their service.

I tried their dinner buffet which was priced at 799+tax.
Overall the buffet was really good.
They had a decent spread with 4 non veg and 5 veg items, soup, rice, noodles, breads, salads and dessert.
All their item were good but what I felt that stood out was their non veg starters which was the chicken Manchurian and beef fry. Both the chicken and beef were cooked to perfection with right amount of flavors.
Last but not the least I should not forget the staff who were really fantastic, well behaved & tended to our needs right on time.

Overall 8.5/10
Definitely recommend..

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.

Food was ok and service was good

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 !!🥰

Cafe hive is a restaurant situated within Hotel Apollo Dimora. We went there for lunch on a Sunday and the place was all empty. Throughout the time we were there I guess only one more couple had come over. We were welcomed with a plate of masala papad. The staff was really warm and helpful in presenting the menu. We got ourselves Paneer Tikka as an appetizer and then got Chicken Tikka biriyani and Mutton Biriyani. We liked the fact that biriyani comes with long rice and the staff was more than welcome to accommodate our requirement of making the biriyani with extra masala. Both the biriyani were pretty good although, I feel it could have been better. The place has huge parking available for customers.

Near to temple

Good place

Quick and tasty bite for your family

Service of restaurant is very good . Basic infrastructure is in proper way
