Food, frolic and fun comes together in a unique manner to make your stay in Trivandrum as memorable as possible.

Resting placidly on the beaches of Karamana and the River Killi, Trivandrum is cocooned securely by the placid Arabian Sea and the imperious Western Ghats. This, in itself, presents an image of unrivaled beauty of the city. Immaculate beaches that translate to absolute peace and quiet are the biggest lures of the place. Coconut palms nod and sway in the scented breeze. Shrubs do not stop tickling your toes. But if there is something that can give the scenic beauty of Trivandrum a run for its money, it is the dining scene here. Yes, dining in Trivandrum presents you with a bowl of contrasting experiences.

At every twist and turn of Trivandrum, you are sure to find a local tea stall or a paan shop or both merged into one. These quaint tea stalls are famous for steaming local delicacies (banana wafers, unda pori, bonda, etc.) cooked to perfection. Then there are the roadside ‘thattu kadas’. Don’t forget to try the ‘thattu dosas’, the most popular fast-food in Kerala. The combination of porotta with spicy fried chicken and ‘meter chai’ are especially renowned among the locals. These eateries are a huge blessing to late night workers as they are almost always open till the wee hours of the night. If you want to experience these crazy hazes, head to Thampanoor or Kaithamukku junctions. The best roadside eateries are found here.

Since Trivandrum is home to thousands of people from North India as well, you can easily find a Mughlai restaurant or ones specializing in North Indian cuisine. Just that you might find a bit of coconut in your butter paneer masala! They say that your Trivandrum experience cannot be considered complete unless you taste the seafood here. Spiced with pepper and tamarind and mixed with coconut milk, the local fish curry is like a dream come true for a foodie. If you want to try the Malabari Biriyani, you only need to ask a local, who will be happy to guide you to the right place. Vegans needn’t scrunch their eyebrows. There are restaurants that offer vegetarian food prepared based on naturopathic principles. These hotels are constant haunts of the health conscious.

Strangely, the experience of dining in Trivandrum is not only tongue-tickling but also enlightening. There is a restaurant with its surfaces filled with murals of Raja Ravi Varma, the world famous painter. With the politically conscious people always discussing national and international issues, you are sure to know what is going on in the world even if you missed catching the news for a few days.
