Paragon Restaurant

"Paragon has always been one of my favourite places to eat, and every visit reminds me why. The food is consistently delicious, with authentic Kerala flavours that feel comforting and satisfying. Whether it’s biriyani, meals, seafood, or their special dishes, the taste is always spot-on and the quality never drops. The service is polite and efficient, and even when the place is busy, they manage things really well. The ambience is clean and welcoming, making it a great spot for both casual meals and family dinners. I’ve tried many restaurants, but Paragon still stands out for its flavour, consistency, and overall experience. Highly recommended if you want genuinely good food in Trivandrum!"

"Heard a lot about this place, specially booked a stay in Trivandrum to visit this place, food was great, but not worth the hype. I ordered Tribal beef - just beef fry, sorry but had much better ones on roadside stalls, it missed some signature, felt basic. Pandan chicken - had something like this for the first time, the minced chicken was nice, but couldnt taste much of the pandan leaves, and not sure why its served with sweet and sour sauce. Fathima farmhouse chicken soup - this was a really nice creamy chicken soup, nice homely taste. Prawns mango curry with Appam - the curry was really good and the raw mangos really complimented the fish curry. Although the appams were bit sour, not sure if the batter was stale. Elaneer Payasam - this was good, but felt too sweet like condesnsed milk and less coconuty. Another reason for the bad rating is the seating which was provided to us, even though half of the restaurant was empty we were seated near the toilet, not sure why."

"We visited Paragon Restaurant again today — it continues to be our favourite spot in Trivandrum for a splendid family dinner. We tried porotta, nadan beef roast, mixed fried rice, butter chicken, and chicken biriyani. Every dish was top-notch and full of authentic flavours. The porotta and beef roast are an absolute must-try for anyone visiting. The restaurant has ample parking space with staff available to manage the area, making it very convenient. The interior is pleasant and comfortable, though the food may take a little time to be served — it’s worth the wait for the quality you get. Overall, Paragon is a great choice for delicious food, good ambiance, and family dining. Highly recommended!"

"Best biriyani. Awesome service. People working there are very nice and their service is the best. Tried their koonthal and prawns varieties and it's too good. Awesome experience. Must try"

"Absolute legendary spot! The hype is completely justified. I had their famous Malabar Chicken Biryani and it was hands down one of the best I've ever tasted—flavorful, perfectly spiced, and the rice was incredibly aromatic. We also tried the Fish Mango Curry with appams, which was a game-changer. Despite the heavy rush, the service was efficient and the food arrived hot. If you are in the city, this is a non-negotiable stop for authentic Kerala cuisine. Highly recommended!""
