I recently visited the newly opened TopForm outlet, and I must say that it was quite a disappointment. As someone who has been a loyal customer of TopForm in Calicut since my childhood days, I had high expectations for this new location. Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of those expectations.
We decided to visit for breakfast, and initially, things seemed promising as there was a relatively low crowd. However, things took a turn for the worse during our lunch visit. We arrived at 2:40 PM, and to our surprise, we were informed that the regular meals were no longer available. Instead, we were advised to order the biriyani, as it was apparently the only item readily available.
Our disappointment continued when the biriyani arrived at our table. The chicken in the biriyani was half-cooked, which was not only unappetizing but also a serious concern for our health. To make matters worse, there was no chutney and no masala provided with the biriyani. When we inquired about the missing chutney , we were informed that it had also run out. This left us wondering about the overall preparation and management of the restaurant.
What was particularly disheartening was the response we received when we expressed our concerns about the food quality. The staff seemed to dismiss our feedback, almost implying that we were at fault for expecting better from a TopForm outlet. As long-time patrons of the brand, we felt disheartened by this response.
For a newly opened outlet under a renowned brand like TopForm, one would expect a commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality food and service. Unfortunately, our visit left us far from satisfied, especially since we had recommended TopForm to friends who joined us from outside Calicut.
In conclusion, our recent experience at the newly opened TopForm outlet was far from the high standards we have come to associate with the brand. We hope that the management takes our feedback constructively and makes the necessary improvements to ensure that future customers have a more pleasant...
Read moreRating: 9.5/10 Topform Restaurant, Chevayoor – A Premium Dining Experience
Ambience & Facilities: Topform Restaurant in Chevayoor offers a slightly premium dining experience. The entire space is fully air-conditioned, and there’s also a separate premium A/C section for those who prefer extra privacy and comfort. The interiors are elegant and well-maintained, creating a pleasant and premium feel overall.
They also offer a banquet hall suitable for parties or gatherings of around 40+ people, making it a good venue option for small events. Valet parking is available, which adds to the overall convenience.
Service: The service was excellent from the moment we arrived — smooth parking, quick seat allocation, friendly staff, and timely serving. It was clear the team is well-trained and attentive.
Food: I ordered the beef biriyani, which had the authentic Kozhikodan style — flavorful rice and a generous amount of beef. The biriyani was served with pickle, curd, and chammanthi (coconut chutney), which complemented the meal well.
While I usually prefer more masala in biriyani, I actually found this one a bit too heavy on the masala — maybe just the particular serving I received, as I’m not sure if it’s their usual style. That said, the quality and quantity were good and should be sufficient for most people. The full beef biriyani was ₹189 (₹180 + GST) as of May 2025.
Additional Notes: I’ll be attaching a parcel menu with this review — note that parcel prices may differ slightly from dine-in rates.
One area that could use improvement is the toilet facility. For a restaurant of this level, I expected better, and it was a bit of a letdown.
Overall Verdict: A great experience overall. The restaurant delivers on taste, ambience, service, and value for money. It’s definitely one of the better options in Calicut if you’re looking for a reliable place to enjoy good food in a nice setting.
