Hotel Odhens
ഒതേൻസ് ഹോട്ടൽ
A long-running fish restaurant that serves lunch only. Kerala meals on banana leaves come with freshly fried seafood, and locals call it "Ondhen".
One of Kannur's best-known lunch spots for fish, on Onden Road in the city centre. It opens only at midday. Rice, sambar, seasonal vegetables, fish curry, pickles and sweet porridge are served on banana leaves, and staff walk the tables with freshly fried seafood, which is ordered separately. The most popular items are coconut-oil fried mussels (kallumakkaya), seer fish, pomfret, prawns and clams. Many diners feel the set meal itself is ordinary and the fried fish is the highlight. Queues form soon after the noon opening, so arrive early. No alcohol is served. Prices vary widely depending on the fried fish ordered.
Opening hours
Lunch about 12:00-15:30, until sold out
