Onakkan Bharathi — Restaurant in Kannur

This is a century old breakfast spot in Kannur which is more or less the same still. The menu is consistent and limited. The place is exactly opposite the main entrance of Kannur Railway station. They serve puttu (steamed rice cake) with accompaniments. Mutton curry is famous. A full mutton curry is 240. Two pieces of Puttu, a single (half) mutton curry (with unlimited gravy) and a good tea, will cost you a total of Rs.160. Food is delicious. The place is very unassuming, lacking even a title board. The waiters are all old school middle aged men in their lungees. They are a friendly bunch who serve their regulars and don't really appeal to any of the new world marketing flares on food. The place might not look super hygienic because of the rustiness but trust me, you'll never get a stomach upset with their food. Very simple people and a very simple place which refuses to run along with time and stays comfortable at their little, but important place in the town.

If you are at Kannur and want to eat there, just go. You won't have a big parking space for cars. Just go by bike or an auto. Just be one of us, go there and eat. You will not regret the experience. It's like momentarily running back in time effortlessly. The menu can be seen in the photos...

I recently visited Onakkan Bharathi, a non-vegetarian restaurant in Kannur, and I was blown away by the food. The restaurant is located in the heart of the city, and it is a popular spot for both locals and tourists.

I had the puttu and mutton curry is a classic Keralan breakfast dish, and it's done perfectly at Onakkan Bharathi. The puttu is soft and fluffy, and the mutton curry is full of flavor.

Alos we had the appam and stew, and it was the best I've ever had. The stew was so flavorful, and the appam was perfectly cooked.

Here are some of the things I loved about Onakkan Bharathi:

The delicious food The excellent service The wide variety of non-vegetarian dishes The affordable prices

Overall, Onakkan Bharathi is a great option for breakfast in Kannur. The food is delicious, the service is good, and the prices are reasonable. If you're looking for a great place to enjoy a traditional Keralan breakfast in Kannur, I would definitely recommend checking out...

My detailed review on price,quality and service.

Food:

The hotel is famous for their mutton chaps and putt. Half portion is enough for a person and the quantity is well enough for the putt.

If you want extra putt, they will serve extra gravy of the mutton. Who does that really!

Haf portion of mutton chaps is just 100rs and it’s hot served making it worth every penny you pay.

Putt might seem a bit hard, but it’s good!

Pros:

-Service is top-notch and they care for you The malayalam music from the 80’s is perfect with the hotel and it’s evergreen old interior. Food is YUMM! -Everything in their menu is reasonably priced

Cons:

-You might struggle a bit with parking -If you really care about the hygiene, some might feel it’s not the best. But an old fashioned hotel at this rate, i would never complain.

if you are in Kannur, this is a must try...
