Taawoon is a multi cuisine restaurant at Kothanur, about 3kms from my house. We had tried the food here a couple of times in the past but were not too impressed. But that was before the covid lockdown years. We again decided to give it a try this week as it was close by (and I did not wish to drive far in the evening Bangalore traffic). We found the ambience plesant and slightly quite as it was a weekday and even the menu card looked rebranded. The food turned out to be lovely too.
Taawoon is basically focused on Kerala cuisine (owners seem to be gulf mallus) and more specifically Sea food. But you also get an array of Arabic , Chinese, north Indian and continental dishes.
For starters we tried Beijing Chicken and Squid fry. Beijing chicken was crispy and well made with the right touch of spiciness! The Squid was also very crispy and soft and went very well with the mayo sauce. For the main course my daughter went for her usual butter Naan and butter chicken masala. While me and my wife decided to share a mutton Biriyani. The Biriyani was in typical Kerala style with very mild flavors. For someone like me who prefers the strong Madurai/Dindigul type of Biriyanis , this style was quite timid and light. The butter chicken was one of the best we have tried in a few years.
I finished with a lemon juice while my wife had a mango Lassi. Nithila had her favorite chocolate milk shake. We decided to come back and try few more dishes next time :)
