Most Popular Restaurant In Kerala. Paragon Restaurant Kozhikode. Paragon Chicken Biryani recipe, Chicken Dum Biryani, Crab Bhumika, Meen Moilee, Mango Fish Curry, Mutton Varthiyathu.
A Keralan culinary institution that people are familiar with not just in the state but beyond its borders, Paragon Restaurant, is perhaps the oldest and by large the most popular restaurant in the city of Kozhikode. Established in way back in 1939, Paragon has built an empire across the world with restaurants in various parts of Kerala and the Middle East.
In this episode of Gourmet On The Road, Food Lovers’ Editor, Kripal Amanna visits the iconic restaurant on Kannur Road, where Paragon was born to meet Sumesh, third-generation owner. He then visits the kitchen to watch their revered Paragon Chicken Biriyani being made from scratch. He then sits down to savour some of the most ordered dishes on the menu.
PRAWN DRY FRY
You taste the sweetness of the fresh prawns and the fragrance of the coconut oil in which this crustacean is fried. The prawn is perfectly seasoned and cooked textbook perfect to a yielding crunch and succulent inside.
rs. 315 (usd4.4)
10/10
PAN FRIED MUSSELS
The mussels are cooked supple in a savoury mix of onions, curry leaves and green chillies. A play of flavours and textures, one tastes the toasty lilt of the curry leaves, the bite of the onions and gentle heat of the pepper.
rs. 331 (usd4.7)
9/10
PAN FRIED SQUID
The squid, though cooked to a pleasing springy bite is quite neutral in its flavour and needs to be cocooned in the masala for it to make an impression on the palate.
rs. 273 (usd3.8)
7.5/10
TAMARIND FISH
This Paragon creation teases the senses with its medley of flavours. You taste the sourness that comes from the vinegar, the sweetness of jaggery and the lingering warmth of ginger in the sauce in which the fried kingfish is tossed.
rs. 336 (usd4.7)
9/10
CRAB BHUMIKA
I love the size of these juicy sea crabs, they're soft and one can bite into them whole to relish the flavours of the dish. You taste the sweetness of the crab meat, the freshness of the ingredients, coriander, green chillies, ginger, garlic and the sour twang of lime.
rs. 231 (usd3.2)
9/10
AVOLI MOILEE
The delicate white pomfret is the perfect accomplice to the mellow, soothing flavours of this creamy coconut stew, punctuated with the notes of kokum, curry leaves and green chilli. Enjoy this with a lacey appam.
rs. 452 (usd6.3)
9/10
MANGO FISH CURRY
Another popular dish here, the ayakora or kingfish has imbibed the sour notes of the raw mango. The shallots add a robust bite and the heat from slivers of ginger contrasts with the slightly sour notes of this curry.
rs. 273 (usd3.8)
10/10
MUTTON VARTIYATHU
A mutton preparation that’s rich in flavour and texture. The meat, onions, tomatoes and spices have been slow-cooked for a few hours to come together in a lush gravy.
rs. 254 (usd3.6)
9.5/10
CHICKEN BIRIYANI
The biriyani here is plated in a layered mound, milky white grains of the mildly aromatic kaima rice or jeerakasala rice sit at the crest, followed by a layer of masala-stained rice, a savoury ribbon of masala and fried onions separating the two.
rs. 168 (usd 2.4)

OMG! Nobody can describe food in the way you do. I've seen top international chefs but none can come close to you. You make us fall in love with the food you're eating.
I was visiting Calicut and was in Paragon few days ago, how I wish we met!
Loved it. What an episode! Paragon's outstanding. No wonder they say Kozhikode is the food capital of Kerala
Kannur..not Kozhikode
@❶ Hahahaha..
@Avon Barksdale its kozhikode not kannur
Kozhikode...👍

Perhaps the best Indian Food review channel. Extremely underrated.

This episode of vlog is a classic one.. The quality of food,cleanliness, chemistry and openess between owner, host, chef is exemplary.. Off course the detailed explanation too
I hail from calicut, I've been staying away from such places that serve super delicious food to cut back on a few kilos..watching this vlog is like the ultimate test for me to resist!!! In other words, you make brilliant food vlogs kripal
Thank you, Yaseen. 🙏
I tasted this biryani last week and it was so delicious.
After watching Kripal sir's video, one can learn lots of things at a time, like
1,English language skills
2,Knowledge about various food
3,how to behave
4, communication power
5, and last not the least , how a to be a great human even after having huge amount of money and knowledge. Well done sir 👌👍✌️

@@rahulkrishna1657 I found good vegetarian food during my visit to Kerala though (I didn't visit Calicut). Really liked the Sadya. Very healthy as well as delicious. Also liked Puttu and Kadala curry.

Hi pals... from past one week we our experiencing Cochin and surrounding tourism palaces ...I loved it ...Kerala beauty is eternal... Only bad thing we didn't touch Kerala food bcoz we are preparing food at our family members house so missing it...
Hi Lavanya, hope you are enjoying some local fare too, which is such an integral part of soaking up the culture. Kochi has some great food spots.. Happy eating!

You finished a paragon dinner without having dancing tea which is available there itself and milk sharbath available opposite to paragon makes it incomplete as per us, but everything you presented was in detail and super.
