Travancore Restaurant in Aberdeen City

Everything from staff to food was amazing Sambhar is tasty and dosas were crisp Chicken65 is recommended 👌

Very friendly staff and good food

If you are looking to have authentic Kerala cuisine, look no further. Love their seafood platter and all the dishes. Easy table booking. Good customer service.

Kerala food was delicious, I highly recommend it! Service was great and fast. It was pretty packed, so maybe make a reservation. We ordered ahead and picked it up. Parking was a bit tough, but we risked parking on a side street to grab our food.

Absolutely lovely staff, great atmosphere and fabulous food. Highly recommended.

Fantastic place with the best Indian food. I had Chicken 65 which was brilliant, followed by Thali. The Thali is massive, and fabulous. So tasty. Highly recommended.

Magnificent meal and very pleasant fast service! Would highly recommend for a totally authentic Indian experience

Nice restaurant, delicious food and very kind staff

Excellent food , the mushroom rice should have a Michelin star! . Lady’s who served us were very friendly and helpful. Would I eat here again ? You’re damn right I would , superb food and service

Really delicious food, the price was very good and the portion sizes were perfect. The service was great, very friendly and attentive staff. Thanks!

Consistently excellent, with unique dishes.

I recently visited [travencore] and was absolutely blown away by the experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a unique charm that sets it apart from other places in the area. The menu offers a creative twist on [Indian cuisine], with dishes that are as beautiful to look at as they are delicious. I tried the lamb curu milagu and was amazed by its presentation and flavors—it’s clear that the chef takes great pride in their work.

Delicious proper authentic Indian food at a reasonable price.

A lovely experience managed my confident and well mannered staff delivering an authentic experience. Highly recommend.

Foos was really good, I had CHICKEN KURUMULUGU CURRY, was really tasty, ambience was great!

It was our second time visiting. Both time were excellent. The food is authentic, well cooked. Best we’ve had in its category. Both time the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We have a toddler with a milk allergy. They went out of the way to inform us about the dairy dishes and ensure my daughter was safe. Nothing was a problem to them. We will be going back.

Chana is good, rest was average. Chilli paneer was bland and not chilli.

If we could give this place 6 stars we would. BEST INDIAN FOOD EVER. Don't overthink it Food should be comforting. It should be a friendly reminder of why you were born with taste buds. And this place hit the mark. The staff is beyond friendly. They were very accommodating when we arrived without a reservation. The food came out warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back, if only to be greeted with a friendly smile.

Malabar chicken biriyani was below average.

We ordered Kothuporotta, and it was absolutely delightful! The flavors were perfectly balanced, each bite was a wonderful mix of spices and textures. But, the masala tea was not upto expectations.

So good, so delicious. The spices just meld together. Wish I lived closer to try the whole menu

🥰 Adipoli … best South Indian Food Restaurant

My wife and I ordered some ice cold beers and enjoyed two different styles of curry dishes that were absolutely delicous. Our served were peonpt and friendly. Definitely worth checking out!

Just finished dinner for two. Absolutely courteous people. Seated is in a nice part of the restaurant. I ordered a vegetarian thali. The starter soup is absolutely delicious. All the dishes in the thali are mouth watering and worth the money. Panneer mutter and mushroom rice were fantastic. All in all a very very tasty meal. Please visit this place if you wish to try some south Indian food. Highly recommended. Thanks Chef for a delicious meal🙏 Second visit last weekend, mushroom curry and channa were excellent. The appam was brilliant too. The vegetarian thali could have been made a little less spicy. Too much chilli heat takes the great flavours of South Indian cuisine. This is perhaps a personal opinion; nevertheless relevant to some when we pay for the food. However I’ll still highly recommend this place for the food overall!

Great food that stays true to its Kerala identity. Knowledgeable staff with good customer service.

A very rare (in the UK) Indian restaurant run by Indians and featuring South Indian cuisine (Kerala). If my home wasn't 400 miles away I'd be there frequently!

Great food and patient staff who helped us choose what kind of foods to order Update: Went back, added more pictures

Really tasty food, very friendly staff

Exceptional cooking by the Chefs, Superb waiting staff.. I have to praise the chefs. The food is just ' Outstanding' Well done ' Team Travencore'

The food was cold and most of the rice was really burnt. Was really disappointed with the order.

Best Indian in a long time! Unreal vegetarian and vegan options. Extremely satisfied.

Fantastic food, amazing choices and variety

Most authentic Indian restaurant I've been to. Delicious food, excellent service, impeccable hygiene, and truly wonderful staff. Thank you very much for an amazing dining experience ❤️

Fish curry was amazing. Kingfish. Much firmer than haddock but lovely. The dry beef curry was so different than any beef I have ever had. Wonderful experience all around.

Amazing food. So glad we've found this place.

Amazing authentic food !!! The sea food platter and the prawns niroli was mindblowing!! Our favorites were the parotta and appam.... The chef and their staff was so welcoming and pleasant !

Updating my rating with a photo from their fantastic Onam special meal. A much appreciated and eagerly awaited annual event. Needed advance booking (understandably) but was totally worth it. Travancore still remains the undisputed leader of excellence in South Indian cuisine up jere in the North East of Scotland.

Indian restaurant in Abadin.. My visit was excellent.. Very tasty food.. Excellent customer service.. Best South Indian restaurant in Aberdeen.. it was as pleasant visit with my friend.. foods were incredible represented the taste of Kerala. Lovely service.. Thank you

Really good restaurant. Everything sooo tasty 😋

I have tasted lamb coconut fry for this first time and I really loved it..🥰 I highly recommend that dish!! As i am regular customer yesterday it was very busy , though it was very busy they provided food on time and taste was very nice. I tried Chapathi, lamb pepper fry which are very good. Felt like home made food😊😋 I will visit once again surely

First time visit. Food taste is good. But some dish must be accomplish rice/ bered. Like Cholay with rice/puri. Chicken with rice or naan. Good for customers. Some are coming for distance.

This Indian restaurant is full at the first moment that I got in and then had to come back again.. Guests sitting at the entrance might feel little colder as the other guests come go to the restaurant. Food is good and suitable for european standards. This restaurant is very good for groups. Sambar is good and has that tanginess. Fried onions on the biryani makes it a must try dish ! Customization available !!

Very good authentic Southern Indian cuisine. Lovely staff

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere x

Amazing as always would 100% recommend this place!!

I didn’t get my oder. The restaurant informed that the oder was picked. But was not received. Shameful

Okay. So we had a massive sadhya from them and it was just exemplary! We had about 13-14 side dishes,including 3 different types of Payasam, 5-6 curry dishes and the dry sorts. The highlight was the banana leaf 😂. Thanks for making this pre Onam celebration special. Hoping that you'd get more orders this year.

Really enjoyed the meal and friends raved about it.

Different take on Indian food but loved it.

One of the finest Indian restaurants I've experienced. The curry is simply extraordinary. The service is top-notch as well.

If you're looking for a place that delivers a flavour sensation, you must visit. Makes a refreshing change to have a curry with different spices from the normal run of the mill. It's on the list of must visit again

The BEEF fry is sooo good as well as the lamb the richness in the flavour as well as the smell that entices you is amazing. Dining in was so good that we ended up ordering takeaway the next night. 10/10 food would recommend.

I had ordered chicken dosa but I had potato curry inside and there is no taste of whole sea-bass fish I don’t recommend to go there

From the moment you step in, you are greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere that is both elegant and comforting. The food is nothing short of spectacular. Each dish bursts with rich flavors and aromas, transporting you straight to the streets of South India. The staff is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive dining experience. Whether you are a seasoned lover of South Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Travencore is sure to impress with its delightful combination of great food and lovely ambiance. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable meal.

Very good kerala restaurant, we were visiting Abedeen and went in for a lunch. The food was delicious and to the authentic kerala taste. Highly recommended and a must visit, especially for kerala foodies.

Pretty decent food, good portion sizes and excellent taste. Outstanding service and hospitality. Friendly and warm atmosphere. Pricing excellent. Will definitely visit again. Can recommend wholeheartedly.

Excellent south indian food. Very different from and better than the usual Indian menus.

just had lunch here! had the non-veg thaali hubby had business lunch set with dosa all very tasty and finished it off with a masala chai. i also took away masala dosa and appam set to enjoy at home definitely a good restaurant to come enjoy south indian food like dosa idly appam. fish pollichaathu and other kerala favourites definitely visiting again when in aberdeen next 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

One of the best South Indian food.

Lovely meal! Very helpful staff

Delicious meal for a large group. The selection of items in the thali was incredible.

Great food ,had ordered meen pollichathu and Kerala parotta from here .Good portion .MUST TRY

The food is really good, the ambience and service is very nice as well. I'd suggest trying the chicken peralan and kidilan kozhi, loved both of it!

Fantastic place, great atmosphere, food was very tasty and I wouldn’t hesitate to keep returning back for more.

Have been a regular customer and have to say used to always impress us. This time felt disappointed as the masala inside the dosa was not so good. potatoes were hardly even smashed. It felt like it was made in a hurry and everything stuffed just for namesake. Coconut chutney was the disappointing very watery and had almost turned dark/ blackish in colour. All other orange coloured chutney also went straight into bin. Will have to look some other alternative for south Indian food next time.

Brilliant place. Traditional South Indian cuisine. Reasonably priced.

One of my favourite Indian restaurants in Aberdeen. They absolutely nail south Indian cuisine, it's all authentic food! 🤩 I highly recommend the beef roast and the prices are fair and not too expensive.

Really loved the food. Martina was sweet and offered great customer service . Definetely coming back! 😊

The food was not fresh and it is foul smelling.

Delicious South Indian food. Very reasonable prices and a lovely front of house team.

Really great experience and very delicious food

Very authentic Indian food, very impressive with the service.

Great food, great service. Unique Indian food.

Absolutely stunning food as always, delivered hot and in good time. Brilliant meal!

Very nice little cute Indian restaurant. Staffs were all friendly. Me and my friend did not like the rice in the fish dish. Lamb with spinach was amazing! Sweet mango lasi was so nice! Will definitely be back!

one of the orders not arrived. needs a refund..

Lovely restaurant staff very knowledge food first class will be back .

Malayali food as best as it gets. Been here twice and super impressed by the authentic taste. The service is equally at par to the food. My suggestion would be to eat any curries with Appam instead of roti or naan. These fluffy appam are a delight and compliment the curries. It's not a huge setup so do reserve a place before you visit. Found parking nearby too.

Good food, not that hot for a non-Asian. I had the Mysore Masala Dosa Recipe. Good portion to not be super full but be nourished.

The best Masala Dosa I ever had in Aberdeen

Fantastic and authentic southern Indian cuisine. Easily the best I've had in Aberdeen. Very accomodating to spice tolerance and very welcoming staff. Would highly recommend!!

Before even we try Travancore food they welcome us with very warm smile both times we went there. Then of course food was delicious and great service. Please keep smiling.

Excellent curries. Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. Service was great. Knowledgeable helpful staff. Definitely worth a visit!

Tasty, authentic Kerala food with a nice ambience. Will definitely recommend

I had a birthday meal at this very friendly and authentic south indian resteraunt. My group had a range of their dishes, waiter explained different dishes, everyone enjoyed their food and service couldnt be more helpful. Very good value aswell.

Used to order all the time from travancore mostly take away, now no idea why they not taking the card payment only cash ..so now for last 3 times started with other restaurents...

This is the second time I been here, I have ti say that this is the best restaurant I tried so far. Food very fresh, staff incredible friendly and nice.

Had lunch at Travancore in April 2024 as fancied dosas. We were not disappointed ! The dosas were crispy snd tasty, the service excellent and the price really reasonable. Definitely recommend

Greatest restaurant in Aberdeen.

Prawn fry, palak paneer masala and drumstick soup was delicious. Must try. 5 stars for taste.

We came without expectations but the food was incredible. Loads of flavours. Definitely coming back. We had starters, main and dessert and they were all superb!

Visited one Thursday evening on a friends recommendation and we weren't disappointed. Excellent food and service. Staff helped us to make good choices from the menu too. Try the dosa!

Enjoyed the some amazing Kerala food. Friendly staff. Great place to eat.

The BEST Indian food in the UK!! Thank you for the excellent service Benjamin, the food was delicious and we can’t wait to be back and try more delicious meals.

I chose this restaurant on the completely un-scientific grounds that it was the nearest Indian restaurant to my hotel. What a magnificent surprise! The menu is very different to the standard Indian restaurant that one finds in the UK, and is very much based on the cuisine of Kerala, one of the most Southern states of India. Things start with a bang with the snack plate at the beginning of the meal, which is both amazing value for money and a feast for your tastebuds. The deep fried pappadums are a work of genius and the zesty lemon pickle is to die for (I asked for a refill, which they graciously brought me). I then had coconut rice and a prawn massala - both excellent, and the curry was tangy as it should be. The staff are extremely welcoming and it is great value for money. Thoroughly recommended.

Incredibly fresh and delicious South Indian food served in a homely, attentive atmosphere.

Amazing food and great service, highly recommend this restaurant for top quality food and friendly service. The dosas are amazing and can only truly be appreciated fresh in the restaurant. The curries and Kerala are also very very good.

Great south India food! Good value for money. We have been here many times and we’ll be returning. Reminds my of my travels around India!

Very nice food and the staff are really nice, only minus is the amount of time we waited for our food

A fantastic experience at Travancore. Food and service always excellent! Great variety in menu and flavours are all wonderful.
