The Journey: A Kerala Railway Yatra on Your Plate
The Kairali Bullet Express Journey reimagines and reinvents, in both taste and flavour and its presentation and form. Inspired by the concept of a railway journey through the various regions of Kerala, each course of this experience represents a ‘stop’ in Kerala, exploring the distinct regional flavours from North Kerala to Trivandrum…through the paddy fields of Kerala, to the small towns and their diverse Thattukada, to the urban streets where the Middle East and Kerala come together to a fusion of flavours culminating in a sweet melody of Portuguese influenced Mallu cuisine that has a unique umami of its own.

The Kerala Bullet Express Journey will take the guest through a railway yatra that begins with the omnipresent Tender Coconut, that is a hallmark of Kerala, and traverse through North Kerala with stoppages at Kasargod and Kozhikode stations, where guests will taste the flavours of Malabari cuisine. 

From there, the guests will journey to Central Kerala stopping at Palakkad, Thrissur & Kochi indulging in the distinctive flavour profiles of the future. 

The culinary train ride will pass via Southern Kerala's Kollam and finally culminate at Trivandrum, and at each station the guest will experience the uniqueness of Kerala cuisine reimagined and freshly packaged.
