THE RESTAURANT OWNER'S SON IS AN UNKIND FELLOW. As somebody who studied an lived in TVM, compared to other food places, the memory of this place remains painful always. We (group of students from College of Agriculture, Vellayani) always used to dine at Rahath, Manacaud. It was very familiar and the go to place for us for good fast food. There is a mosque nearby, on fasting season too I used to eat from here. Sometime between 2012-2014, one particular day I was supposed to catch bus back to COA Vellayani from EastFort and I was FAMISHED and EXHAUSTED. Rahath being closed by.and familiar I walked to the place to eat something. I realised I had exactly 36Rs to spare that time. An appam costs Rs 6 and I won't be able to order any curries so I thought I will make do with the their free gravy that comes with the breads. Three appams in and still hungry I ordered two more. But the gravy was over. I requested the waiter for little for gravy for the two appams but he didn't seem to nudge. Then I noticed the owners adult son who was at the cash counter that day signalling the waiter not to give me anymore gravy and he passed a comment looking at me with contempt "Ivide gravy kachodam illa". Already tired and hungry, now humiliated and embarrassed I got up and washed my hands leaving those two freshly ordered appams. What surprised me was that this same guy used to take our orders and serve us when we used to go regularly for dinners there as a group. That day is etched in my mind and I am reminded of it whenever I see people/news of people starving. Maybe that guy did not know any better not to pass that harsh comment publically at a customer who was only ordering what he could afford unfortunately coz he had only less money in his pockets that day. I always wanted to come there and tell this experience to the shop owner directly but never got the chance since I had moved to Bangalore. After that me and some of my friends stopped going there. I am not sure the management is the same or not today. Some basic decency and kindness goes a long way even in the restaurant business. Or atleast not being an a*****e to customers.

The food here is very tasty and fresh. Visited the place with family. various cuisine available like Malabar, North Indian, Tandoori, Arabic, Chinese and Thai. Except for Thai we tried all the cuisine. Every dish was one better than the other. This is a very good place if you are staying in one of the many resorts in Kovalam and you feel like having a drive out and tasting the local food. The staff were very courteous. The rates were very reasonable. Overall very tasty food and value for money.

Tastsy food providing hotel. near manakad tvm

Once upon a time, Raahat was famous & if you visit with the old stand, you will regret for sure. No taste at all. Same masala using for Perat, Roast & curry. Only thing you get good is beef, that even sometime. Dont buy beef afternoon. Only at eve. Recently ordered Mutton roast (full of fat & onion not at all boiled & chicken curry like flooded, no space for adding water & pieces not at all marinated. This hotel is like transit one. Very near Vizhinjam fry was available, for a change i tried, raahat. Messed up man. Its not about negative of cooking. Its all about wasting food. I regret. Very bad

Good parotta. Food seems to be little expensive but ok.

They used to my favourite place for the best beef fry (beef double fry) and awesome porotta. Once stale food was captured from there, I completely avoided this place. Their porotta was big, but well cooked and the crispness was amazing. Their beef fry was deep fried and it was simply one of the best in Trivandrum. They have chicken fry which has big pieces. Another speciality was their yummy appams. I used to be a regular customer, not anymore.

Nice place good dining space and well............. flavoured food and spicy food ,especially......... preferred to biriyani lovers .................................. Well maintained kitchen and dining................... Good and pleasure giving service ,Warmth....... service and polite behaviour, nice ambiance ... Parking facility was low and no parking area.... provided by the restaurant .................................. Not so crowded ...take always are available..... Especially spot for biriyani lovers........................ Homely kitchen and good designed interior......

Once the restaurant was quite famous for it's tasty fast food dishes . But now, it seems like almost every dish has the same masala and the taste is also not really good. The quality of food has declined over the years.

One of my favorite restaurant in Trivandrum, delicious food taste lasting for long years.... today we had Kerala parotta,appam,chicken malabari, and very special rahath beef fry... One common area and one family room with AC also arranged here, ..good service here...a staff on only family rooms...take away facility also available here... butter chicken and chicken chetinadu is the famous and tatsy food rahath

After management change food quality and taste also changed .....I missed the old good tasty raahat briyani

Their biriyani, alfaham with porrota is my favourite from here. Others are all okiesh for me.(it’s just my opinion).

Very bad poratta & chicken curry. food without any quality. Waste of money.

Finding tasty vegetarian food in a typical non-vegetarian hotel is a difficult thing. Raahat is kind of surprising. I have eaten fresh and tasty vegetarian food from here. The dishes are simple but the cooks really know what they are doing.

Really amazing foods are served here👌🏻It is the best choice to visit with friends and family 🤩

Good food...... But very bad server staffs... Need to change those stupids for improving the quality of hotel...

Good resturant with good quality food. Neat and clean ampense. Food was tasty. Clean Rest room facilities available here . Well maintained. Good service with a smile face. You can try this spot

Pretty decent restaurant.. Neat n clean.. Prime location.. Tried Kerala Parotta n Chicken deep fried..it was amazing.. Loved the taste.. Only thing is they have to start using swiping machines or online transactions.. Atleast gpay or paytm.

Such an awesome hotel...The way they recieve people is so good...🥰

Not bad.. Biriyani is nice... U will get good ball grapes juice

I haf biriyani from ther. It was tasty and good. A small restaurant but good service and. Overall taste is also good

Nice place and courteous staff. Quick service. Tasty food and affordable prices. Parking is a problem. It happens to be right near to a busy bus stop with no parking space available.

The former favorite restaurant went downhill in food quality. But the aesthetic and the interior of the newly renovated restaurant is very nice. The service is actually fair enough. But one curry we ordered wasn't near the actual chicken Chettinad. The chicken used was improperly cleaned and smelled like blood. If I get a chance, I should make a nice Chettinad chicken and have the cooks taste it. The waiter immediately picked up the dish and got another portion, but it was very far from Chettinad. Parotta and BDF were pretty great.

My most favourite restaurant in trivandrum,pure authentic taste of foods we will get from here

Their porotta, mutton chaps and BDF are mouth watering.......must try
