What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Reviews for Thalassery Restaurant are mixed, with some praising the authentic Kerala flavors, especially the biriyani and seafood, and noting the good value. However, several diners have reported significant issues with food quality, including finding hair and safety pins in dishes, and poor service. The ambiance and location near the GGICO metro are also mentioned positively.
"This hotel is shifted from its previous location. You can see its banner at opposite side of the road. This is at first floor. Entrance of this hotel is through the kitchen area. Taste is good. Appam with chicken curry is best try option. Egg dish is not that great."

"If you are planning to have good food, never ever go to this "restaurant". The ambience and food is like the street food and to add flavours they have invented new ways that is to add hairs to biriyani which is their special. We got hairs from 2 plates to biriyani of 3 plates we ordered. And when asked with them their response was that they will change and give us another plate and from their talk we came to understand that hair is the so called special taste flavouring they are adding. And also the behaviours and the customer support was also very very terrible even the street food vendors will give you much healthier food than this. This hotel is really a curse of Thalassery, a city in Kannur which is well known for the food and hospitality. This is just a fake Momo Thalassery which servers you hair flavoured foods. And also the atmosphere is very worst and the path to enter to it looks like Sabarimala steps...
Recommended for all those who like hair flavoured biriyani and other foods...."

"Cheating in the name of Thalassery restaurant. I have gone to Thalassery restaurant Chennai where food is awesome . This naming board was exactly same as that . Without second thought we went by seeing the nameboard .
Now by seeing review we understood should have checked it first .
For 120 meal they provided just white rice & curry . One was sambar which dint taste good . Also fish curry given was like tomato curry, no fish curry taste . Additionally only best thing got was a Omlette with which we had the lunch .
Even a papdam was not given . Really pathetic .
We had high expectation when entered but utterly disappointed ."
