villa maya heritage restaurant

newer expected to be at a place like this. everything was cooked perfectly. from ambience to food to service there is nothing we could not become a fan of.

i was recommended this place by a friend of mine and inspite of the fact that i was in trivandrum for a few hours went here for dinner. i am so glad that i did that. the ambience is brilliant as you can see from the pictures. you do need to step out in the garden to get a good view of the villa. the service was brilliant and the staff are really courteous and friendly. the food was very good. tried the chicken makhmali which was well flavoured tender and the condiments along with it were equally good. the chefs pineapple chutney is definitely with a try. chicken curry along with a small portion of dal was equally good. very reasonable and good value for money
if there was a glass of wine with the food i would have been in heaven.

excellent ambience and food, courteous waiters. great place for a quite and romantic or family reunion! i feel a little over priced hence a 4 star! but must visit!!

great ambience! if you plan on taking your someone on a special place this is the place. presentation is amazing and food tastes pretty good if you order right.

they have billed me for food which i did not order. i ordered all chicken items and i saw a fish item which i never order. i tried my best to contact them but i don’t think they care. yes the ambiance is great. but how many of us look at the bill apart from the ambiance ? i even doubt if this is their strategy.
by the way if you happen to get mr. rajesh as waiter. just forget to have any experience other than a regular roadside service one. disappointed not just by service but all in all and to top it up, this wrong item on bill. keep it up guys!

this place is a very well know restaurant across india. villa maya was awarded the worlds most luxury themed restaurant at once. great ambience, well maintained with flavour of kerala. food presentations is a treat to the eyes and their menu is definitely a treat to the palate. giving them a 4 star as i feel the price are exorbitant

the veg thali was okay. the ambience is amazing. they charge rs.100 for the mineral water on the table with mrp of rs.30. they have no reason on why would they do this when questioned.not encouraging this attitude.

a beautiful heritage restaurant just as the name says. it’s picturesque in the evenings. pretty crowded on weekends , it would do you good to make a reservation before hand. let’s come to the food now. it pretty much hit the spot. from their typical kerala appetisers and mains to their blue berry crumble with ice cream.. everything was perfect! it’s a costly affair but with the ambience and the food.. definitely worth it.

best north indian food in the town so far, with an amazing ambience, especially the seating area outside. also, valet service is very convenient. desserts were great too; although the quantity, overall, could be increased. but in totality, the taste easily competed with best north indian restaurants.

the first thing that you notice about this place is the decor and ambience, it's eco friendly, green, traditional and royalty.
so my rating is purely based on the place and it's decor. also this was one of the last lunches of our vacation so we were in a happy mood and this place set the correct atmosphere.
the food is authentic south indian and continental so we decided to try some crab and the very talked about thali. it was not according to our palate and felt we should have stuck to something more tried and tested.
but must say the presentation of the food, water glass, menu was top-notch.
the mint and green chillie based cooler was excellent.
the service can improve a lot, specially of the folks who attend you as soon as you walk in. we had to wait and then go to the first floor while there was place at the garden area. we had repeatedly requested for a place in the tent and was told there is a one and half hour wait. so we sat in the garden area under the sun, which was pretty sultry. to our surprise within next 15 minutes one of the hut areas was vacant and was alloted to a group that came after us!! the lady in charge was clueless that we had even asked for that seat - clearly shows there was no communication on the request made between the staff. this does not leave a very good impression.
overall nice afternoon spent. however, the pricing quoted in zomato isn't correct as the price for 2 is way higher without any alcoholic beverage.

visited this place on my recent visit to trivandrum. the restaurant is in a heritage palace. the ambience is beautiful with outside as well as inside seating. the outside garden seating is the romantic kind. the service is good. tried the below dishes :
1) veg minstrone soup - decent
2) thai chicken soup - good
3) veg quesadillas - good
4) zatar paneer tikka - nice and is served with green & pineapple chutney. the pineapple chutney is worth trying😋.
5) veg lasagne - good
6) chicken fraterria - nice. it is basically chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce and is served with potatoes, grilled vegetables.

overall, the place lives up to the hype specially for the ambience.

loved the ambience. the food tasted great 😍 we did order the chocolate cake too . it's a must try 😁i personally loved the beef 😍😍😍 we did plan a birthday out there and it as big group of 20 people . everyone had inky good things to say. will surely dine there again 😁😁

great place for fine dining. i loved the sea food here and the desserts were too good. syrian beef was awesome. the spice box quantity was too less. and the sea food platter was also very less in quantity.

it's such a stupid act to rate a restaurant 1⭐ or 2⭐just because of it's price bracket so before judging those reviews just take a look at my pictures.

i'm a tourist here from kolkata. i found this is a heritage restaurant and voted first in multiple categories. as you see the ambience is unparalleled & during night they do additional decoration with lamps & candles. i didn't see any indian crowd there. cost is i would say 1600 for 2. given estimation of 1000 for 2 is exaggerated.

i had syrian platter & my friend had some paneer trio. they served us complementary snacks & drinks pre lunch. paneer trio had rice/nan of your choice and paneer kebab, butter paneer & palak paneer. syrian platter had rice, 3 non veg dishes (fish, chicken, beef), fish fry, dal fry, 2 veg dishes & a curd rice. post lunch they served us payasam, papad & chutney. service was world class.

this place scores really high on ambience, service and food. varied options for the vegetarians . the menu is a good mix of italian, european, north indian cuisine and kerala thalis . we ordered the tomato bruschettas and the blue cheese fried mushrooms . both were tasty. the kerala veg thali looked and also tasted really good . the dal makhani (black dal) is the best and the most authentic one down south.
