Kollam (IPA: [koɭɭəm]) or Quilon (Coulão), formerly Desinganadu, is an old seaport and city on the Laccadive Sea coast of the Indian state of Kerala. The city is on the banks Ashtamudi Lake. Kollam has had a strong commercial reputation since the days of the Phoenicians and Romans. Fed by the Chinese trade, it was mentioned by Ibn Battuta in the 14th century as one of the five Indian ports he had seen during the course of his twenty-four year travels. Desinganadu's rajas exchanged embassies with Chinese rulers while there was a flourishing Chinese settlement at Kollam. In the 9th Century, on his way to Canton, China, Persian merchant Sulaiman al-Tajir found Kollam to be the only port in India visited by huge Chinese junks. Marco Polo, the Venetian traveller, who was in Chinese service under Kublai Khan in 1275, visited Kollam and other towns on the west coast, in his capacity as a Chinese mandarin.

We have been to some of the best restaurants in the Kollam town and I can safely say that "cafe lanes" owned by a highly professional, organized and responsive chef shine sunn up there with the best of the best..The service and ambience were charming, modern and relaxed We ordered chicken mamos and falafel. Eventhough we tried falafel for the first time, the use of the spice and subtle flavours that came across in every dish was simply very stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed both the superb presentation and the amazing taste of the dishes we had..Another highlight here is many entertainment games for kids and adults (snooker table) are included. We highly recommend "cafe lanes" and wish to visit again and again..
