Calicut Paragon Restaurant

"I have been going to this restaurant since 4 years now. No matter which part of the world I have been in, I have ensured to come and eat here. The head chef loves his job. You can tell that by the crowd by the door - daily, by the dishes they curate, and what a fab job they do with it all. They just revamped their the place menu a little bit and reopened after renovations in October 2025 and they new additions are phenomenal. Siddhanta - my favourite staff member at the restaurant in Al Nahda, Dubai. Always ready to greet you with warmth and kindness and lovely dishes!"

"Absolutely loved my experience here! The lamb shoulder with coconut rice was outstanding – tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. Big thanks to Mr. Roshan and Mr. Sushanth for their warm and friendly service. They really made us feel at home and added a personal touch to the evening. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the hospitality. Will definitely be back!"

"Went to Paragon Calicut in Al Nahda with my mom, grandmother, brother, and a friend, and we all had such a great experience! We ordered Prawn Jalapeno Mango Fry, Corn and Cheese Balls, Mango Fish Curry, a spicy chicken gravy with green chilies and coconut, Nice Pathiri, Nei Pathiri, Malabar Paratha, and Appam. The Appam with the chicken gravy was honestly my favorite combo — it looked so simple and creamy, but the green chili gave it the perfect kick. The Mango Fish Curry was really tasty too, and the fish was fresh with no smell at all. Between the two pathiris, I didn’t really like the Nice Pathiri since it felt a bit plain and powdery for my taste, but the Nei Pathiri was amazing — crispy, flavorful, and just perfect! At the end, I randomly noticed their special coffee while walking to the washroom — the thick foam on top caught my eye, and I immediately called my mom (who loves coffee foam) to order it. Half the cup was foam, which she enjoyed completely, and the coffee itself was exactly how I like it — strong and sweet, even though I didn’t ask for it that way. The ambience was really nice — clean, cozy, and gave a more high-end feel to traditional Malabar food. It’s slightly pricier than your usual Malabar place, but totally worth it for the taste and experience. Only criticism I would have was that they were playing English music continuously in a Malabar restaurant 😂 Definitely recommend this place if you want delicious Malabar food with a nice modern touch!"

"I had an amazing experience at Calicut Paragon! The service was excellent — every staff member was incredibly respectful and polite. The interior was beautiful, and the food presentation was top-notch. The starters were absolutely delicious, and overall, it was a 10/10 experience. My stomach was truly happy after the meal! Highly recommend!"

"I love this place. I really like the ambience and the overall vibe. I came to Calicut Paragon and had an amazing experience. The food was excellent, especially the French toast with mango sauce — it was absolutely delicious and very unique. One of the best dishes I’ve tried. Overall, great food and a wonderful experience. Thank you, Calicut Paragon!"
