A Malayali night out rather than a family dinner: The National describes Thamburu as popular for its lively pub-style atmosphere with live music and budget-friendly South Indian food. It stays open until 03:30, and at Onam it serves a 31-dish banana-leaf sadhya over three days.

Good to know
- It is a licensed lounge inside a hotel: expect live Malayalam music and a late crowd, not a quiet meal.
- For Onam (late August) the sadhya runs on set days only; check the dates and book or order takeaway.
- Open until 03:30, one of the few Kerala kitchens in Tourist Club still serving after midnight.
