Thalassery, Indian restaurant in Bangalore North, India
Thalassery is an Indian and Chinese restaurant in Bangalore North, set up across two dining rooms furnished with traditional wooden pieces. The kitchen runs from morning to late evening, covering both cuisines throughout the day.
The name refers to a port town in Kerala with cooking traditions that go back to the 18th century, shaped in part by the spice trade along that coast. Those roots influenced the style of cooking the restaurant draws from today.
The restaurant takes its name from a coastal town in Kerala, and this origin shows in many of the dishes on offer. Recipes from different parts of India appear side by side on the menu, giving diners a sense of how varied regional cooking can be.
The restaurant is easy to find as it sits close to banks and shops that serve as useful reference points. Coming outside of the main lunch and dinner rush generally means shorter waits for a table.
The biryani is cooked in sealed copper pots, a method that traps steam inside and gives the rice a deeper flavor than open-pot cooking. This technique is rarely used in restaurants today, and the result is noticeable from the first bite.
