1980's A Nostalgic Restaurant

Absolutely loved this cafe! The nostalgic ambiance, crafted by turning a house into a cafe, is simply brilliant. The concept is unique and adds to the charm. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. If you prefer, you can also enjoy your time outside sitting area. The location is perfect, making it one of the popular go-to places around.

We had dinner at the 1980's restaurant during a family trip to Wayanad in Kerala. Due to time constraints, we dropped in here for dinner on the eve of 24 December around 8 pm. The place was packed with people. There was an overflow of crowd. Lucky for us the management was managing the crowd with tokens.

After 30 minutes of waiting, we got to our table. The entire place was furnished to give the visitors a rustic feeling. The interiors were well done. On checking with the waiter, the place was famous for Malabar cuisines

We ordered Kerala parota, nice pattiri, ghee rice, chicken masala and beef roast. We were in for a surprise.

The parrot was a little thick and we thought it may not be tasty but was mistaken.

The pattiri was really soft and very nice.

The chicken masala was a very different combination of spices and gravy. It came with 3 big pieces.

The beef roast was the star of the day. The meat was cooked to perfection with the perfect blend of hotness and spices and went well with the ghee rice.

After dinner, we had lemon tea at the tea shop located outside and it was really good.

It is the perfect place for good food with a traditional setup.

Must try!

It's busy and you might have to wait for sometime, but its worth it.

Amazing food. Good service. Good ambience.

Had sadya, It tastes really nostalgic.

They had a store called 'Pathayam' for some of the finest quality spices.

I had the pleasure of dining at 1980's last week with my friends, and we were all blown away by the food. The dishes we tried including the beef roast, fish curry, and parotta, nice pathiri and the chicken 65 were excellent.

The restaurant itself is also very charming. It's located in a traditional Kerala house, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and they go out of their way to make sure you have a great dining experience.

Great Ambiance and must try in Wayanad. It brings the nostalgic feel of 90s period. Food is awesome. Highly recommended if you visit Wayanad. Ample car parking space.

Excellent place to catch a bite, places gives off authentic tharavad vibes. Endorsed by multiple mollywood celebrities, the head waiter has an excellent memory (remembered us between visits, weeks apart) and caters to your every requirement. Heavily biased towards nonveg although you can get a few good veg food as well at all times. Perfect for a Tea time pit stop on a long ride

Must visit if you are in Wayanad. Everything served there is good. We visited this place for lunch on both days and enjoyed the food, ambience and service. We ordered Chattichoru, Malabar biriyani, pathiri and mutton chops. Everything was too good. Ended with lemon tea.

Amazing Kerala cuisine food. Highly recommend their sea food. They also have a vintage setup, no menus, traditional table and chairs. It’s a nice place. One of the best options in Wayanad.

Also, something that you might miss is their chai and snacks. Highly recommended as well. It’s brilliant.

Omg, such an amazing restaurant with typical Kerala style foods. The one who wants to explore Kerala foods must go there. Mr. Santhosh was our attender he was so calm and active. Everyone there were quite friendly.

Food and ambience is greatest as described in any review.
But the best part of the experience comes when you talk to their managers/waiters about the food and taste you want.
They don't have menu cards available so their conversation with you gives you a best experience ever.
They understand english, hindi(few) and malyali

Best Restaurant in Wayanad to have and enjoy Kerala style food. Ambience is added advantage to feel a aesthetic environment and enjoy the meal. Price is also reasonable.

Absolutely loved this place, some of the most delicious food, would advice the tourists to go a little early as the place can get crowded. But a must visit when in Wayanad.

Had a memorable experience visiting this restaurant in wayanad.. They have really brought out the ambience of 80s through music and interior.. Food was also tasty.. But ambience weigh more.. Staff was very friendly and asked about food at last..

Happened to stumble upon this place on the way to Kozhikode. Mind blowing food. Don't miss it, you'll be pleasantly delighted.

Me and my friends were looking for a authentic old restaurant and encountered this one on our trip to wayanad. This is a old big house converted to a hotel and been serving authentic food . We had kuli parota with beef and thali with fish polichathu on two diff occasions. We liked the food . Kuli parota was awesome and Thali had too many items with it . Special abt this place is a lot is celebrities had visited this place including the legend Mammooty . One thing abt this place is it’s too traffic on weekends. So be early and get in early. Apart from this 1980 nostalgic is a great place and I ll recommend this place for sure .

I wholeheartedly recommend 1980's restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional Kerala food experience. It's a place where the past meets the present.
We ordered chatti chor, chicken biryani, avoli fry. The food and ambience was amazing and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable dining adventure.

The restaurant has a very cosy vibe. It feels very 1980 from the ambience to the decor they have tried to give you the vibe of that era.

There is ample free parking available outside on the road.

The place is always busy so you might have to wait between 30-60 minutes

The food was very nice. We ordered pomplet fish fry, chicken 65 and parrottha and everything was really nice. The fish could be spicy for some people.

They have a tea stall outside where you can order tea/coffee while waiting for your turn to eat.

The food prices are very modest and you might be pleasantly surprised after seeing the bill.

All in all a must visit place if you are wayanad.

This place has a good ambience, amazing food and decent service. In all recommended for a visit atleast once.The place is crowded,space to accommodate a large crowd and well mannered staff to serve you always.. Tasty and well prepared dishes. I went there with my family. An awesome place to dine out. Very tasty and delicious food.

A good experience with malabar cuisine!!
Being a vegeterian, had puttu and kadala curry which was amazing. Leave fork and spoons behind and eat with kerala's culture. Ginger lemon hone tea was too good and I had it twice😘😘
Cherry on the cake was the coconut toffee/ mithai...

Loved the ambiance, wooden interiors giving authentic Kerala vibes. We had meals with seer fish and chicken biryani. Biryani was very nice. Fish was super fresh too, a little expensive though. Should definitely visit when in Wayanad. Again, much like most restaurants in wayanad, they didn't have any menu when we went.
