Pankayam - Thiruvananthapuram

I had been here last year and they are famously known for their meals and I was lucky to indulge in. The curries were freshly made and the food came served hot. It is better to call up the restaurant for reservations since they have a huge wait.

This was a home delivery order. I had ordered Puttu Biryani and Konju Chuttathu.  Both were tasty. The Puttu Biryani was a bit dry. I had expected meat to be as part of the Puttu Biryani, however it was again prawns after having our started with the Konju Chuttathu (delicious BTW).  Een the photo from Zomato asking me to write a review had the Puttu biryani as having pieces of meat as one may see from the attached.   Should I have ordered the wrong set, would suggest that the menu gets updated with clear indications. Besides the 'dryness ', the taste was good.

I went to pankayam with my partner. He is not a malayali and i wanted him to experience the good old malayali sadya. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and the place was bursting at its seams. We were promised a seat in 10 minutes and they delivered on it. The food tasted exactly like the food we have in typical malayali households. It is one of the places to go to if you want to experience authentic malayali food. Malayali food is mostly made of coconut milk and it's ideal for vegans as well. It would be nice if the items placed on the table could be in labelled jars to facilitate understanding for non malayalis. This place has a quick turnover. Will not suggest in case you are looking are for a leisurely lunch/brunch(atleast not over the weekend)Great value for moneyCons: The person making the juices/shakes in the attached juice stall had overgrown dirty finger nails and also a possible fungal infection around his nails. It would be advisable to ensure hygienic food handling practices

Right place to be if you are a seafood lover. Placed between murinjapalam and medical college. Better park on the sides of the road for easy access. <br/ <br/ The first impression is the best impression they say, the view we get when we go inside is awesome. Like the name implies it’s all about Sea Lake and Land. <br/ <br/ The service is really good. The food is really delicious and worth the price. Each dish we ordered was yummy. The standout was “mutton liver fry” and “avoli thava fry”.<br/ <br/ They have different menu for lunch and dinner. So better you try both. I have only tried the dinner as of now. Waiting to get my hands on the lunch menu..!!!

One of the best meals in TVM. I'm a seafood lover and at Pankayam I've tried some remarkable dishes above all the fried clams and the small fish with a green sauce.The place is very well known and at lunchtime it may result a bit crammed with the waiting area full and people ogling and staring in awe. some very rude invaded our table when we still had to clear the bill and the waiters to remove the leftovers....that it's not exactly pleasant. This is my only complaint for the management to be more in control of the people in line to assure those enjoying the food a nice customer experience also.
