For the better culinary delight that you may be looking at, authentic Kerala cuisine is often referred in this part as Malabar (Malabari) or dishes that are served in ordinary Malabar joints often run by Muslims from Malabar (The tea shops are an example). Malabar is the north part of Kerala bordering Karnataka in India. Much to the common understanding, every Malayalee is referred as a Malabari. Malabar Biriyani served in Calicut, Kerala is different from Biriyani served in Central Kerala.

Food served from owners of restaurants from Centre Travancore (Central Kerala) is sophisticated and very different in all aspects of preparation. For eg: Fish curry prepared in Central Travancore is made in an earthen ware using black Tamrind and Red Chilli Powder, they are not prepared using coconut milk, unlike fish curries that are found in the north or sometimes even on the coasts of Kochi, Kollam, Allapey etc. Traditional Cuisine served with immense care is something commoners have not yet tasted but for the foodies who may have indulged, they know what I am talking about. Joints here are from owners of Malabar. Authentic cuisine that takes you right into the heart of Kerala does not exist to my knowledge in Qatar unless anybody wants to correct me.

Spare the poor guy who queried out of desperation to have a meal.

Shalimar Restaurant (one near Crazy signal, another branch opposite New world centre) is good choice. You get Sadhya on banana leaves for lunch every day.
