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.

I had read about these being setup many years ago by the Kerala Coffee Growers Coop.....I was walking after dinner and saw sign by RP Mall so I popped in for coffee. Wow - what a throwback - like old style dinner - basic but what appeared to be good food - lots of families enjoying themselves and pricing that canât be beat as well as good service. Give it a go for a unique experience.

Keraleeyam is the in-house restaurant of The Raviz Resort & Spa, Kollam and dining here was an experience. Went to the restaurant for dinner after completing a project with the promoters and the Raviz Resorts & Spa itself is a feast to the eyes. The restaurant is well designed with good decor and furniture and has the provision to sit outdoor too. The view of the tranquil Asthamudi Lake from the restaurant is breathtaking and we really enjoyed our dinner taking time. The food was exceptional, Karimeen special and fish curry are to be mentioned specially. Variety of sea foods, Non Veg & North Indian Style Veg dishes (Though named Keraleeyam - they serve Chinese, Continental, Mediterranean, European delicacies too), the food is prepared and served by experienced professionals. The warm hospitality extended by the staff are to be mentioned specially. Be it with family or on special occasions, Keraleeyam will give a great dining experience.

Ramees Restaurant is the right place to have authentic Dum Biriyani in Kollam. Their Malabar style dishes like chicken and mutton dishes are very popular and I really like their "Kozhi Pottitherichathu" shredded chicken marinated with masala and fried in oil. Crowded most of the times the restaurant have proper seating and the service is excellent. Parking is a problem at times and they give takeaway too. Nice restaurant for Lunch or dinner with family or friends.
