Koshy's Coffee Restaurant
Koshy's
An old-school restaurant on St. Mark's Road that began as a bakery in 1940, with colonial-era décor and a long-standing reputation as a gathering place for journalists and writers.
Koshy's was founded as a bakery in 1940 by P.O. Koshy, a Kerala Syrian Christian, and a restaurant opened next door in 1952. It is now run by the third generation. The interior keeps wooden tables and chairs, ceiling fans, old mirrors and shutters, and it has long been a meeting place for journalists and writers. The menu is extensive. Classics include roast chicken, Kerala pork, fish rice, appam with stew, meat cutlets and smiley potatoes, and it also suits coffee and breakfast. Some recent reviews feel the quality has declined. About 700 rupees for two; near MG Road.
