Mahe Café is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Kozhikodan flavors at an affordable price. The highlight of their menu is the Kozhikodan Dum Biryani, priced at just ₹100, which is served with both a large and a small piece of chicken. Each plate is complemented by a refreshing glass of sulaimani, making it a complete and satisfying meal. In addition to biryani, the café offers a wide variety of traditional Kozhikodan snacks, all prepared with great taste and served at budget-friendly rates. This makes it a must-visit destination for those who want to explore local delicacies without overspending. The ambiance is simple and functional, with only chairs and no tables, and the place is usually quite busy and lively. While it may not provide a fine-dining experience, the vibrant atmosphere reflects its popularity and adds to its charm. Overall: Mahe Café delivers delicious food, authentic flavors, and unbeatable value, making it a highly recommended spot for biryani and snack lovers alike. Forgot to take biriyani pic, it was so tempting

If you’re craving authentic Malabar-style snacks, this is the perfect place! From crispy kilikood and kinnathappam to soft unnakaya and chatti pathiri, everything tastes just like homemade. The snacks are always fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. Friendly staff and a nostalgic Malabar vibe make it a must-visit for snack lovers!

This is place for good Malabar snacks in kottayam, unfortunately I only got to snack on Kai-pola. Rest everything finished by the time I reached. The biriyani is budget friendly and tasty and also it’s a must try. Black coffee is made from authentic naadan kappi podi and they coffee was great
