The Detour in Thiruvananthapuram is a dining destination for diverse cuisines
The Detour is a new multi-restaurant dining destination in Thiruvananthapuram featuring five distinct eateries under one roof. Founded by three school friends, the venue offers a diverse range of global and regional cuisines to cater to the city's growing culinary scene.
Why it matters
It highlights the evolving food and beverage landscape in Tier-2 Indian cities and the trend of curated, multi-concept dining spaces.
At the entrance of The Detour at Venpalavattom, Thiruvananthapuram , five windows, each with a distinct view welcome guests. An orange stairwell on the right, flanked by orange-tinted murals, leads up to a chaat restaurant. On the left is a coffee shop, set against the fountain window. A global fine-dining eatery, a South Indian coastal restaurant and a North Indian joint complete the space.
The Detour, a five-restaurant dining destination featuring Choti Choti Baatein, Amorae, Nomada, Kutti Chatti and What The Chaat?!, is the result of a longstanding friendship among its three founders, which began at the St Thomas Residential School, at Mukkolakkal.
