Hotel Thakkaram — Restaurant in Kerala

Scammer. From the start, he didn’t want to tell us how much the meal would be. We were clear about being short on cash but he assured us “we didn’t need to worry about money” and said the three of us would eat for 350 rupies which meant three pieces of fish. He even said he wasn’t a scammer like others and that his food was good thus his place was always full (place was empty but people were supposed to be in the hotel in the back? Yes, red flags all around.). We waited for an hour. He kept excusing himself because he was tired and we were in a good mood so we waited willingly. Finally, he brings three sad tiny pieces of dry tuna and starts bringing a whole lot of rice and other stuff we didn’t ask for. Food was aweful but we didn’t want to complain because we took pity on him being so tired. (Such fools! This guy is pure act!). Meal was so poor we accepted some squid which was spicy af. Everything was spicy even though he said he wasn’t going to bring anything spicy. We have been in India for 20 days and this was the most disgusting meal we ever had. In the end, he brings a bill of 1300 rupies! We didn’t pay that amount of course. When we start complaining, he changes his speech saying the restaurant is not really his thing, but the hotel in the back. He should be embarrassed for the nerve of it all. However, I bet you will be able to identify him easily, as the distressed guy with the packed hotel in the back inviting you to have three pieces of fish...
