Detailed Write-up

Its possible even to doubt the presence of a restaurant at this location while you walk past a narrow walkway on the side of Kerala Roadways Parcel Service’s office. But have some faith and tread on to reach a small restaurant which can barely hold 20 people at a time. You have reached K.R.S Parcel Service’s canteen one of the finest places in the city to have some delicious lunch at very pocket friendly rates.

When you are travelling on T.D Road from Banerji Road side, this restaurant is on the left side. K.R.S parcel Service compound, which is pretty big and is almost impossible to miss. You can park inside the compound and go to this unmarked building on the side of their office building.

Mr Hamsa, who runs the canteen, had been doing it for the last 40 years. He started off at Pulleppady, where the first office was later shifted to T.D road where the current office is located. Now as he is old his son also helps him with the day today activities of the canteen.

Biriyani from this place is their most famous item to try out. Biriyani rice and chicken cooked separately, the chicken is first sautéed in their special gravy and wrapped around with biriyani rice. The taste of the small rice they use and finely cooked chicken makes this Biriyani one of a kind. Meals are another favourite of their regulars as it is served with fish curry at a very cheap rate.

As it is basically a canteen for K.R.S employees they always get first preference but they happily serve outside customers too. As the canteen is too small most of their walk in customers buys dishes as take away. Most of their dishes are pre prepared and kept so there won’t be much delay once you have found a place to sit.
