What to Eat at Thalassery Palace Restaurant - Al Quoz How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Thalassery Palace Restaurant - Al Quoz, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Timing. For delivery, ask for a realistic arrival time before ordering; one review reported waiting more than two hours.
Check Order. Check the delivery against your order immediately, since one customer received a Chinese-style chicken dish instead of Chicken Pepper.
Share Biriyani. If ordering chicken fry biriyani, consider sharing: one review said its quantity was enough for two people.
Try Combo. The Ghee Rice Combo is worth considering if you want a filling meal; a customer received extra rice with it.
Choose Seating. For a group or family meal, ask about the family area, which reviewers found pleasant and suitable for dining together.
Tea Time. Tea time is a practical reason to stop by, with reviewers highlighting traditional evening snacks and fresh milk tea.

The Bottom Line
Thalassery Palace Restaurant is a South Indian-focused restaurant in Al Quoz, with Arabic and Chinese food also listed in its self-description. For a first visit, the most useful starting points from customer feedback are the Ghee Rice Combo, Kerala-style biriyani, rice with fish curry, and porotta with beef fry. Tea and traditional evening snacks also get their own following.
Dine-in appears to be the more consistent choice in the reviews. Customers mention friendly, attentive service, a family area, a spacious remodelled layout and a pleasant atmosphere. Portions are often described as generous: one reviewer said the chicken fry biriyani could be shared by two people, while another appreciated receiving extra rice with the Ghee Rice Combo.
Prices are repeatedly described as reasonable, though no exact amounts were provided. Delivery needs more caution. Some customers report hot, well-packed and prompt orders, but others describe waits of one to two hours, missing items, small portions or a completely different dish arriving.
If ordering remotely, confirm the delivery time and check the package before settling in. For a relaxed visit, tea time or a family meal may be a safer introduction than relying on a time-sensitive delivery.
