Alibaba 41 Dishes Trivandrum

Scamming with the fanciest names and presentation of food. We were a group of 7 people who ordered different dishes including Fish nirvana, Mushroom duplex, Tawa Fish, beef chilly, chicken varutharachath, etc.. None of the dishes were enjoyable. Fish nirvana has nothing in common with the actual Fish nirvana by Chef Pillai, and the fish tasted so bad that we had to report them it was nothing close to fresh. Mushroom duplex was clearly lacking any flavors and might be just a chef's special experiment. Tawa fish was the only dish that was edible. Chicken n beef tasted so bad and had a rubbery feel just because it wasn't cooked well. All in all, we had a terrible dining experience, the worst in Trivandrum ever. And the only positive was the ambience and the location. But since restaurants are for food I would never recommend this to any.

Location is good. Food is costly. Not so tasty as compared to tariff.order delivery time is about 15 minute.

Had visited Alibaba and 41 dishes as it happened to be on our route and it had good parking which is rare in Trivandrum city. There is a tea shop in the same block which opens into the restaurant. We had ordered beef with porottas and some chatti fish curry. To be honest, the food was strictly OK and nothing great. Service was slower than expected as well. The dishes did not really have that keralite tang to it as expected. There are other joints that provide a more authentic taste of Kerala if one needs.

We have ordered through Swiggy and the Restaurant canceled without informing us. When we called the restaurant they asked us to contact swiggy’s customer care, because they don’t know about the order.. I found it very unprofessional and very poor customer approach.

On our final night, our sister in law took us to this place, which is a local regular. It is a simple fast food place, with a large variety of dishes (41 to be exact), which allows everyone from young to old to get what they want. Uncomplicated simple meals, but very tasty.
