Preserving heritage with an exotic fare of snacks and classical 1980s construction, the restaurant is one of the oldest in the area. Had a wonderful array of snacks like steamed rice cakes, banana dumplings, steamed eggs, mussels pakoda and the show stopper was egg pathiri. Finally topped up with Su
Zain’s hotel - popular snacks spot in calicut. They serve all varities of malabari snacks. I visited them post lunch so ordered their ela ada which is traditional kerala delicacy and chaiya. It tasted good and prices were affordable. I feel pity on myself for not trying their other dishes🥲 Do try th
The kadukka fry and kadukka roast....we drove from ernakulam to Calicut to eat these specials at Zain ....as always....love their food! I recommend it!
Fish biriyani is delicious . beef biriyani, beef was a bit hard. We had to wait for a minimum of 10 minutes to get attended by a staff . If service and infrastructure is improved this place can be a wonderful place to visit again.
The key to get the best of all the snacks served hot is to walk in after 3:30 or 4. You can see the section getting stocked up and you can go ahead pointing on the delicacies you want to be served.
Killer snacks, and during ramzan time the menu just gets extravagant.
Close to the beach.

Good place to experience the kozhikodan snacks. Very neat and clean area. You can see the glimpse of the kitchen. You can try once if you like to try the kozhikodan vibavangal from a home food style.
You dont feel like eating from a busy hotel.
One of the good restaurants in Calicut with lots of tradition. I think they lost their traditional taste a little bit (on my own recent experience)and it’s visible in the number of customers. Recently I had Chicken Kuruma here but I fell it just as a Chicken Curry, nothing special or like Kuruma.Oth
Zainthatha's prawn biryani is very famous and needs no review. My friend who has been having it from school days took me there. Also tried the mutton biryani and other amazing kozhikodan items.
Well maintained and served with love.
A restaurant with authentic Calicut cuisine. Popular for their snacks, non vegetarian dishes, Biriyani. Now I could see a wide range of desserts and drinks as well. The quality of food is good and cost is reasonable. Try their mutton stew, irachi pathiri and kallummekaya.
Their savoury dishes and snacks are the ones that I would go back there for! Reach the spot by 5-6pm and you are in for a treat. While I had all the snacks they were offering (one of each), what caught my attention was a flattened egg dish. It was a boiled egg spiced up to perfection! Please do try
Kalumakaya narachathu..( mussels stuffed fry) here is the best that you can ask for! .No one could in this city of great food could match the tasty snacks they serve.!
A very famous restaurant/home converted to a hotel.
A variety of snack items are famous. Amazing prawns curry and porotta. All dishes are very tasty. Just the toilet could be a little better and more spacious. Parking is also a challenge
Zain's. Situated in a calm lane near the kozhikode beach, this place offers some traditional malabar dishes.

The famous zains hotel of kozhikode, serves the best of kozhikode snacks and puddings, the taste was really good and the prices affordable. Ideal time to visit is around 4 pm. Dining space is adequate but parking is limited. Try for the awesome snacks.
THE BEST !! NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS!
Definitely a must visit place in Kozhikode. Try out their different snacks, everything was soooo yum!! Loved it.
I would recommend everyone to come with a empty stomach and try all of their snacks along with Milk tea/Lemon tea, wahh ! That will make your day.
