Hotel Captain Fisher

Food is affordable, with plenty of combo offers, and the ambience is okay. The service staff were barely around, though, and it took a long time for anyone to come over and take our order. There’s also a rooftop restaurant serving Beer. The seating feels like a buffet dinner setup, with projectors and screens for football matches and light music playing.

We keep coming back with family and friends because the food is authentic, whether it’s South Indian, North Indian, Chinese or some continental dishes. My son loves the tandoori, and my wife’s favorite is the chemmeen chetti curry, cooked in an earthen pot. The chilli chicken, North Indian Paneer dishes, tandoori items, salads, wheat parotha and fried rice are all great. Desserts are decent too, and the service is really good. The wine and beer are nice as well, and the ambience is good with a decent crowd.

The buffet food was really good and cost effective at 199/-. There was hot and sour chicken soup, fairly hot, naan with one chicken varient, yellow tapioca with tasty fish curry, fried rice and normal rice, lots of veg curries, salad, anchovy fry (kozhuva), and payasam for dessert. The service needs work. The servers were stringent, naan, fries and a few other things ran out quickly and took a long time to refill, and there were no spoon and fork. The first-floor buffet has an AC room with a projector TV, a proper wash room and toilet. There’s no lift, but you can walk up the ramp or take the inside steps.

It’s hard to find an affordable rooftop restaurant around Vyttila-Tripunithura. This one is a well-kept classic, with a decent projector screen and a great atmosphere for watching a game. They also have food offers on most days.
