villa maya heritage restaurant

the ambience is sophisticated and nice. outdoor seating is better as inside it can get warm. covd rules followed very clearly. however i feel the menue can be designed better as there was very limited options to choose from specially for vegetarians. the food taste was good and service is great.

the welcome drink and fruits given after meal is nice gesture.

i don’t think there is a restaurant in trivandrum to compare with villa maya. excellent service and quality food. ambience is superb. thanks to the chef, thanks to villa maya

villa maya - one of the sophisticated restaurants in trivandrum. ambience of the restaurant and quality of the food is great. a great option for an elite dine-in.

showed up on the must visit restaurant search and was definitely worth it. loved the ambience... distancing and sanitisation protocols were in place... wonderful service & mouth watering good.

went with gattu ki galauti... a melt in the mouth pumpkin kabab with semolina flat bread. very flavourful and tasted amazing with the pineapple, mint and apple chutneys.
thai soup with chicken and mushroom was a bit heavy for my liking, add some rice and voila you have some thai red curry. can't complain on the taste though.

for main course we had the villa maya mutton biryani and kodumpuli fish curry. biryani was flowy and well cooked however lacked the character of a nice hyderabadi dum biryani.. for 800 bucks a plate, was a bit on the expensive side.
the fish curry though with generous amounts of cocum and wel cut pieces was a sea food delight.
chocolate coffee fudge with caramel and ice cream was what was suggested and didn't disappoint. the

overall experience was 4.5/5.

villa maya is definitely a delight to dine at given the rustic decor and the royal ambience. the restaurant is well-designed and the staff are polite and courteous. the food, however, does not meet the hype that the setting promises. however, it's great for a romantic outing, a dinner date or for a quiet family dinner.

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.

ऊंची दुकान। फीका पकवान।

a bill of rs. 3500 for ❓

mutton biriyani,
chicken biriyani,
another type of mutton biriyani called as nalli biriyani - one more leg piece and less rice, that is nalli biriyani.
and then one north indian platter - 2 nan and one mutton curry.

a rip off!

wait time - 45 mins...
and you are served a starter - one banana chips (exactly one, don't know if they measure it in cms before they serve) and some sweetner on that chips.

and the biriyani is good but that should be your first biriyani dish. you need 2 biriyani orders to satisfy your apetite. (for normal hunger)

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

best in tvm

too pricy for simple items and the quality and quantity also is not that great in comparison to the prices

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...
