Khoj Calicut
About
A beachfront cafe on South Beach Road with terrace and rooftop sea views, known for its sunset ambience, beef burgers, loaded fries, mojitos and shakes.
A Beachfront Cafe with a View
Khoj Calicut is a popular beachside cafe on South Beach Road in Kuttichira, right by the shore. Its biggest draw is the setting — big windows, a terrace and a rooftop (Club Khoj) that open onto the sea, making it a favourite for a calm, aesthetic hangout, especially around sunset.
What to Order
The menu is American-cafe style: beef burgers (the Pickled Beef and the double-patty Meat House are favourites), chicken wings (Holy Wings), club sandwiches, mac & cheese, and generously portioned loaded fries (peri peri versions pack real heat). Cool off with mojitos like passion fruit, shakes such as the Tender Berry, and a chilled coffee.
The Experience
Warm lighting, curated music and both indoor and open-air seating make it great for friends, dates or an evening by the sea. Come after 5 PM for the sunset — just set expectations that the food can be inconsistent and the spot gets busy.
