If you're hoping for an Italian dinner or a European cuisine, head to Sahib's grill at S.N. Park road in Kannur. We guarantee that you won't be disappointed. Their mouth-watering Sahib's canopie, the yummy chicken lasagna and grilled vegetables with mix sauce are not something to be missed. The restaurant's relaxed ambiance and the friendly staff made us wanting to go there again. Their sizzling brownie with ice cream after a sumptuous dinner made us very happy.

2. Cake Studio

How can you not have biriyani from Kannur as it’s an indispensable part of the menu in just about every restaurant? This restaurant situated at S.M. Road has the yummiest biriyani packed with flavor. Their biriyani rice sautéed in ghee added to the aroma making it irresistible. A lime tea after the lunch is a must-have.

We were on our way to St Michael's School to watch Natakam competition. Right outside the school, there was this small shamiana set up by a group of art, music lovers of Kannur. The stall has live painting sessions. In the evenings, it's all about music. Nihad, the vocalist, Alvin who plays guitar, Jijin and other members of the team mesmerized the audience who came to attend the Kalolsavam. People started flocking in to hear them sing their favorite songs. If you want to get away from Kalolsavam stress, this would be a perfect energizer. Go there this evening itself, you'd love it.

9. Beaches
