Zains Hotel
സൈൻസ് ഹോട്ടൽ
A home-style favourite behind the South Beach fire station, specialising in traditional Malabar tea snacks that are hard to find elsewhere.
Zains Hotel was founded by Ms Zainabi Noor and sits at Convent Junction behind the South Beach fire station. It is known for Malabar Muslim family dishes and evening tea snacks. Banana coconut balls, egg-thread sweets, minced meat pancakes and layered pancakes are snacks rarely seen elsewhere, served with Sulaimani tea. Many snacks are made in one batch a day, so they taste best between 4 and 8 p.m.; arriving around 4 p.m. is recommended. Individual snacks cost about 20-50 rupees. Some reviewers feel the service and biryani are average.
Opening hours
12:00-22:30; tea snacks 16:00-20:00 are best
