If you are looking for a fine dining place......villa maya is definitely the one. I visited this place few days ago and to be honest i loved it. So so beautiful and great hospitality. They have everything in their menu including bar menu. Approximate price for two people is 1500 but worth the price because the food,the aura,the service.... everything is just great♥️ Highly recommended for couples and families.

I have to say, I was rather excited to visit this venue. It would quite possibly be the world luxury award (WLA) winning restaurant, I would have visited in Kerala.
The ambience was breath taking. A beautiful blend of old world heritage and sophistication; wonderfully paired with food prepared using modern techniques.
I had walked in to the premises in awe only to have that facade ripped wide open by the way the staff addressed us. My husband (he is Indian, I am not) has often reminded me of the cultural and linguistic barriers in India. I would like to chalk this up to that. However, I would like to point out that a restaurant that has numerous WLA, should most certainly have the best customer service... not the cold, sleepy, shoulder shrugging condescending approach that we faced. (It took them 45 mins to get us water)
I digress, the menu is plentiful. It is both exciting and familiar at the same time. The description of the dishes truly does get ones mouth salivating. My husband did point out the difference between Nirachathu and Narachathu... the former I believe means stuffed / filled and the later means gone grey / faded. I believe the later was a typo. Nevertheless, such oversights shouldn’t be expected in the menu of a WLA winner.
The food was decent but lacked the promised sophistication of the venue. The flavour was either bland or salty, making it rather unbalanced. The worst dish we experienced was the Chicken Freakazoid! That chicken was Fibrous and tougher than the beef dish we had ordered! It was over cooked to the point that the chicken didn’t know it was a chicken anymore! Having said that, the sauce of the dish was palatable and to point of being moorish.
The desert was a beautiful spectacle with the theatre of pouring the toffee caramel and the melting of the chocolate structure etc.
All in all, I have enjoyed my experience. I would willingly visit again, perhaps after a few months to check in on more items on the menu. Hopefully by that time, they would have trained their wait staff to be more engaging with the dinners, to be more attentive to their needs. I really hope these guys improve, I see a lot of potential.
Great ambiance! Truly a heritage place. The cleanliness sets an example. Staff is extremely polite and service is great not outstanding. Food has a large room for improvement. Worth one visit.
The food was different and was really good
as soon as you reach, you are astounded by the ambience beautiful gazebos, koi ponds plus the architectural marvel of a building amazes you...
the ambience here is the most striking feature about restaurant.... It shows the quality of the restaurant.... This is a fine dining please and hence it's expensive.The quality and taste of the food is awesome.... And their dessert list is a foodies must have.... It is the one of the my best and the favourite restaurant I have visited till now.. whenever I will come here I will visit this restaurant once again...

We Have been looking for a good kerala authentic restaurant in Trivandrum as we were traveling from Mumbai.. This place was the right one.. Excellent authentic food, serene ambience,
initial service experience was not to our expectations but then Mr Murali the manager and Chef Partha made it all right.

My family and I visited this place on the 1st of January to kick start the new year and also celebrate my dad’s birthday. This place is aesthetically really pleasing. We were really tempted to be seated at the patio or al fresco in presence of the fishes but gave it a pass since it was a sunny day.
They welcome you with a complimentary dish which includes a lemon amla shot and papdi chat. It was really refreshing. The dishes we ordered were-
1. Chicken makhmali
2. Gulabi tikki
3. Chicken fricassee
4. Kappa with fish curry
5. Nalli biryani
6. Coffee chocolate fudge with salted caramel sauce
7. Apple and blueberry crumble pie with vanilla ice cream
Every dish made us happy. The pineapple chutney that was served along with the starters definitely needs a special mention. Don’t give it a miss. The mutton in the biryani was so succulent, soft and falling off the bone which is the way I love it the best.
The next time I am in the city, I’ll definitely visit in the evening to dig on the outdoor experience !
Great job team villa maya !!
The ambience here is the most striking feature about restaurant. This is a fine dining place and hence it’s expensive. But the food quality and taste does not justify the price unlike other fine dining restaurants.The starters are not very tasty and the quantity is very less. But the main course dishes are amazing and authentic. I Surely recommend everyone to visit this place once, for the amazing ambience and a chance to click some nice pics.
Amazing food and decor, had wonderful experience with family ... Food is not 1000 for 2 as mentioned, cud be 1000 for one ... Must visit place.
Wowww! What a beautiful restaurant. I would say that if you want to sit with family and friends and enjoy the local cuisine then there's no place more appropriate. My friend insisted that we go here for dinner. The best time to enjoy this atmosphere is for dinner. It's dimly lit so the ambience makes you feel like you are in heaven. I wouldn't say it's budget friendly. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious. The restaurant is well maintained and hygienic.It's fine dining at it's finest.. so go celebrate. Cheers 🥂
It’s a perfect Villa for a big group. We were a group of 15 people and what fun we had. It’s so beautiful and big. The rooms are spacious and gorgeous. The amenities and staff is top notch. The cook we had was brilliant too. We had a seamless 3 day stay with an amazing team of staff members.
Would definitely recommend to visit and stay
The ambience and the food is to die for! This is a fine dining restaurant with excellent outdoor seating available which you need to book in advance. The vegetarian options however are limited. We had kebabs, gnocchi and one traditional Kerala meal which all tasted great but had to wait too long for the food to arrive. This is a great place for gatherings or romantic getaways!
Nice Ambience with premium food in trivandrum. Wide varieties of dishes to explore however pricing will be based on international standards. Calm and quiet open sitting arrangements. We had Thai Soup, Kori Sukka, Hawaiian Poke Bowl, French Fries, Chocolate Shake, Lemonade & Bluepea Herbal tea.

Food here is very expensive 🫰. Well I felt that the price to taste ratio is low. If you think half the price of food is given for ambience you enjoy they you can visit this place.
We asked for platters but it was nit available on weekdays. We tried thai chicken soup, kappa and fish, mutton biriyani, curd rice, appan and stews, dessert platter.
We really liked brownie in dessert and kappa and fish curry. Other items were okeish..
They have valet parking available.
The building is approx 200 years old. It was built as stay for servents of the king. The building is maintained well. It is a beauty to witnesses. There are lot of fishes roaming next to dining area and even in bathroom.
Very Good Ambience. Service was excellent. Food Order Manager was very courteous and humble. Waiters were quite exemplary. Dining place is a cottage in the ground floor . A lot of dining rooms. Two storey Eatery. We ordered for Mutton Stew with Appam and Tharavadu Mappas with Noodle Paratha. Both dishes are Super Tasty and Yummy.
This place got one hell of an ambiance! Great place to spend your evening with your loved ones. Atmosphere is amazing, great service as well. If you like to sit outside then you need to do the reservation otherwise the place is packed. The food is average and probably little expensive for what it is. If the taste was good then it would have been a completely different story because you don't mind paying if the food is good. But overall, this place is a must visit if you are in Trivandrum.
I loved the entire experience of fine dining. This place isn't to be missed. The food was top notch. The villa itself is iconic. The service is impeccable

I think I'm high on this restaurant's food and beauty. This 18th-century former Dutch property is expertly and tastefully converted into a restaurant. I went there late in the evening and must say that its calming effect healed my undernourished soul. In the times of creating Instagrammable places where people can come and click photos, this place maintains its old-world charm with class. The menu is expertly curated with an emphasis on Kerala cuisine, and rightly so. They welcomed us with their delicious take on aam-panna and papdi-chaat. For the mains, we ordered pot-cooked chicken with shallots and Malabar parotta, and it was finger-licking good. We didn't have space for dessert, but we were happy to see their end-your-meal-on-a-happy-note watermelon pieces with drops of lemon squeezed onto them. The food bill was approximately 1300, but that was because we weren’t too hungry. It’s a bit on the expensive side, so make your decision accordingly. We never wanted to leave the place, but we had to.
P.S. Don't forget to pay a visit to their washrooms.
