Kozhikode foodies: Which dishes in the city are completely S Tier / absolute GOATs?

Food

So I felt like some dishes have no competition here :

  • Shawaya from T&T
  • Appam and Mango Fish curry from Paragon
  • Mandi and Mutton Majboos from Mehrab

Any other dishes that are absolute GOATs that you know of ?

Every foodie in Kozhikode has a mental list of spots where the specific dish has zero competition. Here are three of mine that I think sit right at the top:

  • Shawaya – T&T
  • Appam + Mango Fish Curry – Paragon
  • Mandi & Mutton Majboos – Mehrab

What other dishes in Kozhikode belong on this S tier where nothingelse comes close? Looking for your personal undisputed favorites (biryani spots, snacks, breakfast, late-night joints - anything goes).
