Food

Kerala Tourism singles out Kozhikode biryani, Malabar seafood, banana chips, pathiri (rice flatbread) and the halwa shops of SM Street.

Ask about ingredients, seafood freshness, spice levels and vegetarian options. Mention allergies explicitly, including coconut, dairy, nuts and shellfish. Restaurant names, prices and opening hours change often, so confirm them directly before you travel.
