Hotel Krishna at Venganoor, Trivandrum, is the epitome of ethnicity. Located a few miles away from hallmark tourist destinations like Kovalam, rush is witnessed in almost all days in a week, unlike other restaurants in the town, which marks rush on mostly weekends.
The hotel hogs decent amenities, including a remarkably spacious parking area plus a compartmentalised interior, which could accommodate sufficient numbers of families & casual trippers. Traditional Kerala style foods are favourites here. Some variety of delicacies are exclusively available here. Perattu chicken (succulent chicken pieces marinated and roasted in a semi gravy style), Kerala Porotta, Chappathi, Puttu, Thattu Dosa and items of Beef are the top-selling combinations. Post-ovulated eggs in its very first developmental stage lacking the shell, which are succulent, cooked in Perattu style is one of the most unique cuisine that I've ever had. The prices are exceptionally reasonable for the foods. Improvements which are need to be done are much paltry, since they are well-suited for tourists & local customers, who love to forage on unmatched, non- adulterated Kerala-...
Read moreI went there after a long time along with my friends last week to have a taste of the famous Kattachalkuzhi Chicken perattu. Then I realized the restaurant has changed a lot when I visited there years back. It has renovated to become a complete family restaurant with well enough space and cabins. Parking facility is setup on the opposite side of the road, which wasn't there before. The only concern is the narrow road to the hotel still unchanged.
As puttu, porotta, chicken perattu are the most common available items, I did taste all three. Puttu was good. Perattu was less spicy than it did before. But 1kg for 480rs was well enough for us.Parotta was okayish. Puttu was big with 20rs.
The attitude and customer service was great from all the staffs that is lacking nowadays. The toilet and wash area are neat and tidy. If they try to add tea/coffee and more desserts to the menu, it would be definitely great. Overall...
Read moreThe perattu is one of the most popular dishes in Trivandrum and the place we visited today on my brother in crimes recco takes perattu to the next level. Perattu is an extremely simple dish where small pieces of meat is slow-cooked in a fiery blend of chilli powder, coriander powder, and freshly-ground red chilli paste.
Pair this with a puttu which is the usp of this small joint. The throng of locals attests to the taste and popularity. Only naati chicken used. Apart from the perattu only liver fry is the other dish available. The hit of the rustic spices on the palate is an experience. The one I had also had the hit of kanthari chillies and was called kanthari perattu.
The small kitchen was neat and a strict check of the customers for masks and sanitation made the experience lovely.
2 plates puttu and 2 plates each of the regular perattu and kanthari perattu came to 580.. sigh.. Truly...
