Our visit to Hotel Imperial restaurant was impulsive. We found it serving a greater choice of non-vegetarian options in the late evening as opposed to the other limited choices offers by other nearby restaurants. Other restaurants in Thangassery South area serve limited snacks choices. Since I had a late evening plantain bhajji ( pazham pori), I was full. My friends ordered a fish curry with chappathis. The ambience was very casual. The plastic chairs did not offer much comfort for peaceful dining. The entire menu was memorised by the servers and the restaurant owner. The spices were adequately used. The restaurant could earn a five star rating if

1. It prints its entire menu for its visitors.
2. Offers a more comfortable seating.
3. Covers its open kitchen to prevent from dust.
4. Offer greater payment flexibility.
