Hotel Bismillah, located right in the heart of Mananthavady town, is one of the oldest and most well-known restaurants in the region, proudly serving customers since the 1950s. The hotel has been renovated over the years, but its charm remains intact—with the same iconic location that continues to draw both locals and visitors. The menu offers a "Miskito-style" variety, blending regional flavours with a homely touch. Whether you're looking for a hearty meal or a light snack, the hotel serves traditional Kerala snacks-like pazham pori, sukhiyan, and vada—alongside hot tea and coffee, making it a popular spot for regulars and passersby alike. Though the food and heritage vibe are strong, there’s room for improvement in the hand wash and restroom facilities, especially considering Mananthavady’s growing presence on the Wayanad tourism map. Enhancing these aspects would greatly improve the experience for travelers and families. Overall, Hotel Bismillah is a nostalgic, budget-friendly eatery that continues to serve with legacy, warmth, and authenticity. Worth a visit if you're in town!
