Villa Maya Tvm - Thiruvananthapuram

If you are looking for a fine dining place......villa maya is definitely the one. I visited this place few days ago and to be honest i loved it. So so beautiful and great hospitality. They have everything in their menu including bar menu. Approximate price for two people is 1500 but worth the price because the food,the aura,the service.... everything is just great Highly recommended for couples and families.

I have to say, I was rather excited to visit this venue. It would quite possibly be the world luxury award (WLA) winning restaurant, I would have visited in Kerala.<br The ambience was breath taking. A beautiful blend of old world heritage and sophistication; wonderfully paired with food prepared using modern techniques. <br <br I had walked in to the premises in awe only to have that facade ripped wide open by the way the staff addressed us. My husband (he is Indian, I am not) has often reminded me of the cultural and linguistic barriers in India. I would like to chalk this up to that. However, I would like to point out that a restaurant that has numerous WLA, should most certainly have the best customer service... not the cold, sleepy, shoulder shrugging condescending approach that we faced. (It took them 45 mins to get us water) <br <br I digress, the menu is plentiful. It is both exciting and familiar at the same time. The description of the dishes truly does get ones mouth salivating. My husband did point out the difference between Nirachathu and Narachathu... the former I believe means stuffed filled and the later means gone grey faded. I believe the later was a typo. Nevertheless, such oversights shouldn’t be expected in the menu of a WLA winner.<br <br The food was decent but lacked the promised sophistication of the venue. The flavour was either bland or salty, making it rather unbalanced. The worst dish we experienced was the Chicken Freakazoid! That chicken was Fibrous and tougher than the beef dish we had ordered! It was over cooked to the point that the chicken didn’t know it was a chicken anymore! Having said that, the sauce of the dish was palatable and to point of being moorish. <br The desert was a beautiful spectacle with the theatre of pouring the toffee caramel and the melting of the chocolate structure etc. <br <br All in all, I have enjoyed my experience. I would willingly visit again, perhaps after a few months to check in on more items on the menu. Hopefully by that time, they would have trained their wait staff to be more engaging with the dinners, to be more attentive to their needs. I really hope these guys improve, I see a lot of potential.

The ambiance is fantastic, truly embodying the heritage of the place. The cleanliness is notable and sets a high standard. The staff is very polite and the service is good, though not exceptional. The food could use some improvement, but overall it is worth a visit.

As soon as you reach, you are astounded by the ambience beautiful gazebos, koi ponds plus the architectural marvel of a building amazes you...<br/ the ambience here is the most striking feature about restaurant.... It shows the quality of the restaurant.... This is a fine dining please and hence it's expensive.The quality and taste of the food is awesome.... And their dessert list is a foodies must have.... It is the one of the my best and the favourite restaurant I have visited till now.. whenever I will come here I will visit this restaurant once again...<br/ .<br/ .<br/ FOOD-4.8/5.<br/ ambience-5/5.<br/ Value for money-4.5/5.<br/ Service-4.8/5.<br/ .<br/ .<br/ .<br/ .<br/ #villamayaheritage #ambience #foodies #foodie lovers #food #foodporn #yum #instafood #yummy #amazing #instagood #photooftheday #sweet #dinner #lunch #breakfast #fresh #tasty #food #delish #delicious #eating #foodpic #foodpics #eat #hungry #foodgasm #hot #foods
