Fodor's Expert Review Lakshmi Hotel

Reliable local fare is on offer here, along with North Indian specialties, though the menu is not lengthy. A visit to this restaurant is a bit of an adventure and a chance to see how locals dine. Service can be slow, but the food is freshly prepared, and the air-conditioned dining room is clean and comfortable, with brightly colored interiors, thought still a bit grungy. The restaurant is known for its karimeen fish wrapped in a banana leaf, and its traditional Kerala seafood and vegetarian dishes.
