Fort Paragon Restaurant serves Kerala meals, and visitors order its appam, prawn curry and biryani. It opens at 11am from Monday to Saturday and at 8am on Sundays, and it shuts at 11pm every day.

One visitor who came almost every day of a week’s stay went back for the desserts. They recommend the elaneer pudding and the elaneer payasam, which had a caramel flavour and was not cloyingly sweet. The same visitor ordered appam, kerala paratha, prawn curry, kanthari beef, chicken biryani and the seafood meals.

Expect a wait at busy times, since the restaurant can get crowded.

Our picks: Paragon Chicken/Mutton Biryani, Fish Mango Curry, and Kanthari Beef Roast.
