One of the prominent landmarks of Thampanoor-Thiruvananthapuram,where both central Railway station & Central Bus station are located,is the Indian coffeehouse designed by Laurie Baker.This Building,courtesy is pretty unusual has become one of the landmarks of Tvm.The entire building is conceived as a continuos spiral ramp,with a central circular service core and with dining spaces provided on the outerside.Bakers trademark jaalis to let light in and ventilation.
Irresponsible idiotsThey serve egg shell along with chicken biriyaniAmid covid crisis this is the level of hygiene we can expect there.Reported to the management and their response was insensitive.They dont really care abt the customers health now days.It used to be a reputed restaurant back then!.If you are concerned abt covid spreading and hygiene, better to avoid dining here.And biriyani wasnt good, Unpleasant
Very economical with good hygienic hotel.. near to Tambanoor railway station
Near to ksrtc bus stand trivandrum, service is good and food taste is above average
*Taste less food*Bad service*For having a 10 miniute meal..we have to weight for half hour*High rate*They exploit us by taking the advantage of brand name and absence of other (non veg)hotels in the core area
Hotel with concrete tables and chairs arranged in a Spiral way . It is somewhat different from all other coffee house hotel buildings. Very poor in the case neatness.
Delicious food. A Must Try place for foodies. Youll love it. Price is slightly high but youll love the food here!!!
Good one. One and only place when i am in tvm. Never have abad experience here... Superb food. But last time i have feel a bitter experience regarding a bad smell comein to the hotel from the near garbages. Otherwise good and also very near to tvm central railway station and tvm ksrtc
All the items are Good. Priced normal. Waiters in Old Uniform style. Cafe is a spiral one climbing to the top. A different Experience. Can spend some time talking with friends. Try Cold Coffee :)
Good place, still we can dine in for food while other hotels provide only parcel
Good infrastructure, good food, i didnt think that they would have non veg... But yesterday only i came to know that they provide non veg food as well... And the food and service was really good... All the issue i had was with parking...I came to collect one of my friends from the bus station... And i was not able to keep my bike closeby... That was the only issue...
Rate of the food is ok....But Felt drainage smell from out side..That is difficult to eat food with fully satisfied..
Highly recommended restaurant in town.Quality of the food and service is the best we like.
One of the most splendid and iconic restaurant I have ever been to. The whole hotel is in the form of a lighthouse! Thats right! Tables across the elevated building. Its a spiral path that leads you to the top, and across the spiral path are all the tables.The best part about this is, we had 20mins gap to go to airport from railway station, and when requested, the staff got us all the items we ordered in just 5mins. We were literally so thankful for them. Customer service at its best. If the guys at the restaurant is reading this, Kudos to you, love from Bengaluru. Thanks. Keep up the amazing work.The food was so tasty. Paratha is highly recommended.#BakasuraForever
What a vibe!!! The placement of tables is wow. The costume of servers is classic. Taste is traditional and epic. A must visit and a good choice for fast and tasty food
In this Cafe Every food items is very tasty and the premises is also very clean.
This space was designed by Laurie Baker know for his usage of brick in his buildings. This coffee house has a nice space along the spiral ramps with segregated dining space at every level. I visited to have a nice coffee and experience the building but, the coffee disappointed me. Food wasnt that great, but can land here if you have no other choice.
Located at a stones throw from the Trivandrum station, this cafe is easy to spot since it has a unique structure and a dark brown exterior. I typically loved the way its build wherein the tables are positioned adjacent to the outer walls and the path inside is spiralled all the way till the top like a lighthouse. The menu is limited though, but it covers most of the items from snacks till main course. The food is really tasty and the prices are really light on the wallet. One can expect to get a nice satisfying meal over here. My recommendations are to try the Chicken biryani, Medu vada and the dosas from here. Plus the service is quick and the waiters are really friendly( All the people who serve here have a typical outfit ). I had visited this place with my family and had a really great time.P.S - Its really old, had started in 1990.
Food and service as good as always ❤️
Excellent Building structure, you have to climb up spirally...More than 30 tables with good space...staff is friendly with good service...food is average...but you will remember the place as I remembered when I visited in the year 2001..Walking from Trivendram Railway Station & adjucent to Central Bus Depot
Ok kind of place. Seating not comfortable. Building is beautiful from outside. Food is average.
Hungry after a long train journey to Thiruvanathapuram, then a good place to get food at affordable rate is here. Clean and neat service. Good and tasty.
Just the regular indian coffee house taste. The building might look fancy outside but inside its real shokam
Legendary cofee house at trivandrum
Best place to have food near thampanoor
Is the spot for a perfect breakfast in trv
Good service..Had 2 plates of Masala Dosa with uzhunnu vada, Ginger Lime & Mint LimeMasala Dosa with Uzhunnu vada were good.But the Mint Lime was very sugary and its not mixed with cold water. so it tasted poor and had only just a sip and its waste of money.Even the Ginger lime was also but sugary but was cold and much better than Mint Lime.
A different architecture ♥️
Food was ok, affordable too. But there was an awful smell of nearby sewage or something which was really disgusting. Parking spaces also not there. Ambience is good. Online payment service is available.
Good hygience and service but poor quantity. I ordered a chicken fry for 115 rs and I got only 2 piece chicken. Normally any restaurant will serve 3-4 pieces minimum for this rate.
#Architectural Eye-catching Building#Located in the heart of thambanoor#Have a good number of consumers, since it is the most trusted hotels nearby Thambanoor Railway station#Sloping levels as of a bike can be ride upto the top floor, irrespective of steps.#possibility to slip is more#seatting arrangement is also peculiar#adds to the landmark of Thriuvanathapuram
Easy access, good food and coffee
Great food and service must mention that first.... Beautiful space .. creative idea by the architect laurie baker... Need to pay a visit some time and enjoy the taste of experience and craftsmanship
Had chicken briyani for lunch. Excellent taste and very good customer service. The restaurant has unique style in interior 😉😉😉
My mother bought a parcel from indian coffee house yesterday and i have thootal today.
Hotel is not worth, taste or even quantity is not at all impressive. Compared to other indian coffee house hotels in allapuzha, kotayam, kochin, this one is worst.
Mostly crowded. But good architecture. I had masala dosa. Normal one. Not that much tasty
Very good ambience, quality food for reasonable price. Love to visit again
Good Spot... Variety dining Structure....
Old imperial style makes you feel special, firm ground makes you humble, a must visit brunch diner..
Simply supperb .!Masala dosha , uzhunnu vada , and coffee 😍😍😋
Indian Coffee House the brand we knows from a long time!. Guaranteed Food delivered always!. In this restaurant the food will deliver with only a short delay eventhough it will always crowded!. I prefer to have their Porotta and Beef fry when I am in Thampannoor area.
Not the best Indian coffee house...food is premade at times and cold. I had ordered a lime and it was so bitter. Not gonna go there again.
Good food. Good service. Mostly crowded I thnk at peak food times. This Indian coffee house has a different design as spiral seating. Good!
Cofee is superb... Masala dosa was not as expected.
Smelly atmosphere food was horrible
This Coffee house with a unique design is very close to Railway Station and bus stand. Food is not that good but get in to grab a quick meal.
Staffs are very cooperative even in the middle of huge rush..a nice place to go
I love the Indian coffee house biriyani some time the taste of the biriyani was worst please improve it
Excellent food with affordable prices
Good food...but not tasty like before..clean
Great place. Good food
Located in the heart of Trivandrum downtown it serves as Classical Tea shop hence the brand
Great place to have breakfast and have coffee with friends.
An ok place to haave food. I prefer not to go there again.
Bad restaurant.... Very bad smell.. in surroundings
Wow great vegetarian foods, very nice tasty, Kerala style foods, interior so different style...
Best food and best service.
My bill was Rs 80/- and I gave a 500 rupee note. The staff at the counter shouted do you have change? . Yes, I have - I replied politely and gave them a 100 rupee note, which was the only note of lesser denomination in my pocket. I have just one thing to say: they are ruining the brand.
Worst biriyani i ever had..... Uncooked rice with egg curry and they call it egg biriyani
Nostalgic place ☺
Nice... Good customer service... Good Food.. 🥰
