    The chicken masala shawaya, which was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, and was fresh and soft. What's more, the prices were quite reasonable, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend giving Calicut Cafeteria a try if you are in the area. The quality of the food is exceptional, and the prices are reasonable, making it a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a delicious shawaya experience. The restaurant itself is cozy and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Overall, I was very impressed with Calicut Cafeteria and would certainly visit again in the future.

    I had the pleasure of savoring the delicious Shawaya at this restaurant. The shawaya itself was a treat for the taste buds, with its authentic flavors and mouthwatering aroma. Despite the remarkable taste, it's important to note that the long waiting time and lack of parking space somewhat dampened the overall experience. If the restaurant could address these logistical challenges, it would undoubtedly become a go-to destination for those seeking outstanding shawaya.

    I am writing after first time visiting the cafeteria. As everyone saying I didn't feel as the best shawaya available in Kozhikode, I think it's completely dependable on Personal choice of taste . We feels the masala taste like more sour and salt taste . So both my friends feel avarage not a top class shawaya.masala feels diffrent and I suggest to try out this shawaya. I don't whether it's because I taste it for first time . Parking is not available

    Their special chicken masala shavaaya is nice and super. They have a secret masala which is applied to Shavaya, which is very nice and very delicious and the one thing that needss to consider is waiting time... There will be some waiting time. For the Shavaya they are serving rural rotti and normal kubboos and aside from Shavaya there are many dishes like Mandhi. But the highlight is its Shavaya... A must-try item.

    The best SHAWAYA in Calicut ✨ Shawaya is a authentic dish of arabian cuisine. The shawaya is not a fried item. It cooks in its own chicken fat by heating it on a spinning machine with skin. Its masala depends upon our perspective...Some people want over masala dipped ,tendered chicken but others like dry less masala chicken, In this shop they provide Masala shawaya, which is tangy and not much spicy and it is served with several dips and sides ( with a peice of our kozhikkodan halwa). Even the kubboos ( white bread) also spread that masala. So if you want to try some arabian cusines definitely visit here and try masala shawaya. Welcome to Calicut, the mystery world of foods

    Visited Calicut Cafeteria and opted for their Masala Shawaya. The dish had promise with its aromatic spices and presentation, yet the experience fell short due to the excessive saltiness of the masala topping. While the flavors were rich and inviting initially, the overwhelming saltiness dominated the entire dish, leaving a disappointing taste. It's crucial for the restaurant to maintain a balance in seasoning to enhance the overall dining experience. Hoping for a better-balanced flavor profile in the future to truly savor this otherwise potentially delightful dish.

    Had shawaya from many places and this was the worst Over spicy masala loaded shawaya They can ask the customer to choose the masala one and normal But they don’t do that. Many so called food bloggers overhyped this place They add different type of sides including mayonnaise which tastes vinegar You can’t eat shawaya without water What are you guys serving a bunch of spicy masala which is not at all good for stomach The so called food bloggers get paid and they present misleading reels or vlogs 😑 Horrible experience will not visit back here

  • 4/5 Sreehari P. 9 months ago on Google • 40 reviews
    I recently dined at Calicut Cafeteria on 21/3352 Gujarati St, Kuttichira, Kozhikode, Kerala, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The service was commendable; the staff was attentive and courteous throughout the meal. I ordered the Shawaya, and it was a delightful culinary experience. The flavors were rich, and the dish was prepared to perfection. It's definitely a must-try item on their menu. However, one downside I noticed was the lack of parking space, which can be quite inconvenient, especially in a bustling area like Kuttichira. In summary, Calicut Cafeteria offers excellent service and serves delicious Shawaya, but do keep in mind the parking challenges if you plan to visit.

    We are fans of masala shawaya and CC are one of the restaurants that made us fans . Their masala shawaya is hot, spicy , and tasty . There is always a queue outside the shop. But it is worth the wait . They have kubboos, rumali rotti and also mandhi rice combo along with the shawaya . But the mandhi was not upto the mark 👎🏾 but rumali rotti 👌🏾. The side they give are also nice . When we go to the beach we finally end up having a shawaya from here . A must try spot for the food lovers outthere , especially masala shawaya lovers❤️🙌🏾

    Awesome 😍😍 The best masala shawaya I've ever had. It's a bit difficult to get a seat. The service was good. Normal rate too. Overall it was cool. But it was a bit difficult to find a place. I recommend it.

  • 2/5 salil r. 10 months ago on Google
    Waited for almost an hour to get seated, and the shawaya had a bitter taste of the masala. Was a total disappointment. There is no parking space on site.

  • 5/5 Aathira S. 4 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    It is a must try spot in Calicut. I have tried their signature dish “Masala Shawai” and it is highly recommended for all those love grilled dishes. I tried this along with rumali roti, though there were multiple bread options. The place has huge rush particularly at night.

  • 4/5 Vijith Pannikott P. 8 months ago on Google
    The Shawaya here is the best of this type at Calicut. The masala they are using is a different one and it tastes very good also

  • 2/5 Abulaala A. 10 months ago on Google
    It's just too much masala. Not just on the chicken but they also add that masala to roti as well.

  • 4/5 Tom A. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was really amazing , the shawaya they served was really good spicy and made a perfect combination with the kuboos ,the kuboos was topped with the spicy masala of shawaya and 4 dips and two piece of halwa and salad , it's just really a worth having shawaya. The space inside is little bit congested, after all it's the taste !!

  • 5/5 Mooza N. 11 months ago on Google
    The grilled chicken I recently had was a true delight for my taste buds. The chicken was perfectly cooked, with a beautiful char on the outside and juicy tenderness on the inside. The grilling process imparted a smoky flavor that enhanced the overall taste. The seasoning on the chicken was spot on. It had a wonderful balance of herbs, spices, and perhaps a touch of tanginess. The flavors penetrated the meat, resulting in a delicious and aromatic experience with every bite.😁

  • 4/5 Faheem H. 1 year ago on Google
    Shawaya was really good. Lots of different sauces to go with the breads.

  • 3/5 Sooraj V. 1 year ago on Google
    Had to wait for half an hour to get into the place. The only dish they serve is shawaya with kubboose. The chicken was well cooked with juices coming out of it. They serve it along with the masala which comes out after preperation. I personally didn't like the taste much. Seating capacity is limited, which in turn increases the waiting time. They serve different sauces with the chicken which was good. They serve it initially in a washed plate with water remaining which felt untidy to me. Instead they could have served it after keeping the plates in table individually.
