Sahib's Grill

Tables dot a wraparound verandah overlooking a shady garden with vibrant hand-painted murals at this warm, sociable and contemporary hang-out, 700m west of Kannur's bazaar. The well-executed menu is bistro-style international, with a few Indian touches: pastas, soups, burgers, sandwiches, tiger-prawn sizzlers and grilled lemon-butter fish.
