We used to eat here occasionally and this place was a good location for a hangout. Went there recently but the food quality has deteriorated. Feels just average.

Had a chance today to dine in the vibrant Calicut Kitchen. It was a long cherished dream. The restaurant looks so beautiful from the outside and pretty spacious inside. The ambiance, colour themes and interiors were awesome. I ordered Sweet corn chicken soup for starters. Soup was really sweet to my taste. But had great flavours. I really liked it with adequate amount of pepper added to it. The next on the line was their famous Kabsa chicken biriyani. Presentation was just about Okay'ish. But the long grained rice with succulent juicy chicken had stolen my mind right away. It had all the flavours I needed and I find it really an amazing experience. My friend had ordered Chicken biriyani (*with an egg, guys 😉). I find the biriyani just average. I personally am not a fan of the small jeera rice in biriyani. Plating was just like any other restaurant. Chicken should've been a little more moist IMO. Rice was average in flavours I think. Served with raita, pickle and pappad, both of them gave us a fulfilling, heavy for the stomach experience as the quantity was good. I had a refreshing Mint Lime too right after that. It was great after the biriyani. Might go again if I get a chance as I'd like to try more dishes from them.

I've been to this place around 7 or 8 times in the last couple of years. I didn't have a negative image. The food served here is good and of sufficient quantity. The products taste well, and the price is little more, but not by much. I visit here today on july 8th. We orderd the alfam biriyani, porotta, and butter chicken. The alfam biriyani is delicious. Butter chicken might be better because it is much more sweet than previous times. And we ordered two shakes (vanilla and chocolate), for a total of 714 rupees.

Food is unbelievable. It takes some time to serve because they are making at the time of order. We ordered porotta ,fish and alfaham. All of these are best..you should try this restaurant. Customer service ia very gd except the person in billing. Iam giving this 5 star for the food and ambience. Neat and clean

Brought butter chicken and porotta. It was a disaster as the chicken tasted really funny and i had to spit it out in the first bite. Then i took all the bony chicken 'curry'(cannot be called as butter chicken because it was without butter/cream) to see if its really there or whether it was me. Yes, it tasted and smelled bad. Lost my appetite. Came out. Didnt want to make a scene. Will come another time and see. Maybe i came at a really bad time today. Ambience:ok Location: good Parking:ok

Delicious food. Good ambience in ac restaurant. Malabar dishes are tasty. We ordered dragon chicken, in which colour was added.

The food was good. I really enjoy the rice.

Nice place, good service. delightful food. I had Malabar Porotta nad beef fry. Malabar Porotta was nice and soft, with layers.

Yummy mutton biriyani and chicken kabsa

Service- Fantastic Ambience-Marvelous Food- Mouth Watering. Everything even the washroom is mind blowing. Every food has unique taste and will surely make you want to try it again and again. The porotta is just perfect with crisp with taste. Just nothing more to say than to try it yourself.

Chicken Biryani Parotta Grill chicken are very good. Chicken kadai just ok Ambience good Roadside parking. Falluda ice Cream average. (Mixing corns making the falluda very bad taste)

I have been to this restaurant on multiple occasions, and the service was satisfactory. While many people have praised their chicken biriyani with high ratings, personally, I find it to be the least enjoyable among their other dishes. On the other hand, their curry items are generously portioned and have a good taste.

One of the best restaurant in Kottayam . With good service . It is open till late night. Ambient place good location. Yummy food. You should try the porota and beef fry which is delicious. For the vegetarians this is not the place . Their chiken chilli is yummy . Had a great family time their with good customer service . Must try place in Kottayam.

Had Raan and Rice, Dry fruit falooda from Calicut Kitchen. Raan and Rice can easily be shared by 4-5 people and would coat around 1500rs while the falooda was 200rs. Bith are must try items.

Good food

Nice place and wonderful scene

I was satisfied with Biriyani in Calicut style. It was good.

Good restaurant have wide dining space

Was good food try it

Super delicious foods

Food was good. Roadside access.

Good ambience..but the food was below average.. I didn't find any authentic Calicut dishes in the menu.. ITS Just a name to attract people.

The best biriyani in kottayam. Good parking space.

One of the best Arabic food restaurant in Kottayam.Has the best kabsa and biriyani in the town.The quality and quantity of food is good and the staffs are friendly.The only concern is the limited parking space . However the quality of food is really good

Spacious restaurant nearby *Porotta was good ( 15 rs ). *Butter chicken was tasty and good. (190) *AC cabin is good. Loved the lighting there ( but some may feel like it's little dark). ** Will not recommended no ac place ( too much smoke coming from the kitchen ). **Most staffs are not malayalies. **Too much waiting time. **It took 10 minutes to turn on the generator after the power went out

Ambience : 5/5 Food : 3/5 Service : 5/5

Porotta was fine. Beef roast was average. Non ac cabin was bad, so opted for AC cabin...but still ambience wasn't good enough. Cabin was filled with North indian staffs. They were continuously making too much noise...felt like I entered a market somewhere in North india. Finally the lime juice was refreshing

Tried Chicken Mandi/Rice. Food was great. Ample seating.

A good restaurant in Kottayam. A best option for people who are traveling through Kottayam and want to dine in with family. They have an AC section too. I ordered Chicken Biriyani and it was good and priced at 190. They have a decent parking space too.

I recently dined at this restaurant that had a very mixed experience. The food was absolutely amazing - it was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Unfortunately, the same could not be said about the rest of the dining experience. From the moment I entered the dining area, I noticed multiple flies buzzing around my table and landing on my food. Despite my repeated attempts to shoo them away, they persisted, making my dining experience highly unpleasant and unappetizing. The presence of flies in a restaurant is a major red flag for unsanitary conditions and lack of proper hygiene. This indicates a complete disregard for the health and well-being of customers. The management of this restaurant clearly needs to take urgent action to address this issue and ensure that their establishment is clean and pest-free. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant only for those who are willing to overlook the issues with the flies and customer service in order to enjoy some truly delicious food.

I had porotta and beef good food. Mint lime was also good. However there were some houseflies

Tasty biriyani (Mutton) and lime juice . Customer service not that much great and overall not clean.

I ordered an Alfaham Mandi...chicken was not tasty and cooked well, Mandi rice was not the one usually serving but instead it was usual jeeraka rice used for veg rice . Pricing is also too high. Not at all satisfied and felt like being looted because I didn't get that quality food for which I had paid.

Had biriyani,it was good. Both quantity and quality is worth the price. Only thing is that the parking might be hard to find if you are visiting at the peak hours.

Not hygienic Food is full of artificial food colours Toilet is just near to dining area and once u been to toilet u will hate life Management is seems like only interested in money. Not a pleasant atmosphere Never recommend this place Go at ur own risk 😂

Delicious cuisines accompanied by customer-friendly service and ample parking.

Ordered chicken and mutton Biryani. Was outstanding. This was exactly what I was searching in Kottayam. Unlike many restaurants who sell biryani as fried rice mixed with chicken curry this is authentic dum biryani.

Not worth for the money

Good place to go with family.. limited parking space rates are high

I have ate delicious chicken biriyani

Super

Food is nice. Serving is good. Enjoyed the place

Tasty food

An excellent restaurant for non-veg foods @ Kottayam! Good ambience and enough parking place.

Not really good, not properly cooked

Not Worth For The Money

Great place. Pleased with its vibe and awesome service. Good food quality plus they roll out special preparations. If you are in Kottayam try them out.

Good place for a family eat out, good food, one star less for their desserts.

I buy Kabsa chicken biriyani (parcel) from here, for 240rs. The taste of rice is good, but the quantity of rice and chicken is too low. For 240rs it is not worth for buying. Either please increase the quantity or reduce the price 🙏

I ordered Tandoori chicken from there. It tasted good. But I had stomach pain and other related issues after that.

Good ambience. Quick and efficient service. Good food

Good food, good portion, not so friendly people, play some music so that people get to speak better, there was an eerie silence in the restaurant even though it was filled up.

Friendly staff. It is remarkable that restaurant is following all the safety precautions. Food was also delicious

I ordered a Gobi Manchurian and it was not at all good or tasty. Portions are low. No salt and it has got a burnt flavour.

Very good place

(Translated by Google) Even if you go to Kottayam, you have not lost your temper to get Malabar Biryani ... Quantity .... Quality ... price ... Everything is as it should be (Original) കോട്ടയത്ത് ചെന്നാലും മലബാർ ബിരിയാണി കിട്ടാൻ പൂതി വെച്ച് പോയി നോക്കിയത് നഷ്ടമായില്ല...Quantity.... Quality... price... എല്ലാം വേണ്ട പോലെ ഉണ്ട് 🥰🥰
