Quilon

Quilon's longevity is no accident, as it delivers an object lesson in the importance of consistency and reliability. Longtime Head Chef Sriram Aylur and his experienced team put their focus on the cuisine of southwest India and the Malabar Coast, which means that seafood is always going to be a good choice. The recipes and preparation may be traditional, but the presentation is more contemporary, and the kitchen has an assured yet delicate touch. The ingredients are first-rate and the sauces are particularly good.This restaurant is temporarily closed for renovation until May 2025.
