For the Malabar Paratha and authentic seafood at reasonable prices ask for Paragon Restuarant which is below the CH Fly over on road Kozhikode Kannur at the heart of the city. Very near the Manancira Sqaure which is the heart of the city. An experience by itself. I would recommend the tamrind Fish whith paratha and downed with a multilayer special Tea.
