Egg and kayya bajji selections , served hot with hot salad . Must try , but the service and ambiance is bad . There is full silence. Should have been music and provided tea . Service is self service and the salad is on spicy side . But the cool drink or water order get delayed when it’s rush hour leaving us burning inside mouth In the heart of Thrissur, where the vibrant pulse of Kerala's cultural capital beat strongest, stood Jayan's Bajikkada. It wasn't a sprawling restaurant with fancy decor, nor a modern café with artisanal brews. Instead, it was a humble, unassuming stall, its charm radiating from the aroma of freshly fried bajji that wafted through the narrow bylanes of Meloor. Jayan, a man whose smile was as warm as the oil in his kadai, had inherited the bajikkada from his father. For over three decades, this small establishment had been a beloved fixture, a testament to the enduring appeal of simple, delicious food. Jayan’s day began long before the sun kissed the sprawling paddy fields surrounding Thrissur. He meticulously sourced his ingredients: plump, ripe bananas from local farms for the ethakka bajji, fresh green chillies for the fiery mulaku bajji, and an assortment of vegetables for the mixed platter. His batter, a closely guarded family secret, was always light, crispy, and perfectly seasoned – a golden embrace for the fillings within. The true magic of Jayan’s Bajikkada, however, lay not just in the food, but in the atmosphere it cultivated. By late afternoon, as the heat of the day began to mellow, the area around the stall would come alive. School children, their uniforms a riot of colour, would stop for an after-school treat, their laughter mingling with the sizzling sounds from the kadai. Office-goers, seeking a brief respite from their mundane routines, would gather, exchanging anecdotes and local gossip over steaming cups of chai and plates of piping hot bajji. Old-timers, their faces etched with the wisdom of years, found solace in the familiar taste that transported them back to their own childhoods. They would sit on the worn wooden benches, slowly savouring each bite, sharing stories of a bygone Thrissur, of temple festivals and family gatherings, of a time when life moved at a more leisurely pace. Jayan knew most of his regulars by name, their preferred bajji orders memorized. He'd often engage in light-hearted banter, his warm disposition adding to the charm of the place. His mulaku bajji was legendary – a fiery kick tempered by the crispy exterior, often accompanied by a sweet and tangy chutney that cut through the spice. The ethakka bajji, sweet and subtly spiced, was a crowd favourite, its golden hue a promise of pure comfort. But it was the camaraderie, the shared moments of simple joy, that truly defined Jayan’s Bajikkada. It was more than just a place to eat; it was a community hub, a meeting point, a small oasis where the everyday rhythm of Thrissur unfolded with delicious simplicity. In a world constantly chasing new trends, Jayan’s Bajikkada stood as a proud testament to the enduring power of tradition, good food, and genuine human connection.

I’ve tried bajjis from all over Kerala, and I can confidently say this place serves the best of the lot. The Kaaya Bajji and Mutta Bajji are absolute must tries-crispy, fresh, and packed with flavour. What really sets them apart is their unique side: instead of the usual chutneys or dips, they serve a simple mix of onions, green chillies, and a splash of lime. It might sound basic, but trust me, it’s a total game-changer and very underrated. Wash it all down with a chilled jeeraka soda and you’ve got yourself the perfect combo. Everything here feels fresh, and you can taste the difference. Parking would be a bit of a hassle if you come in 4 wheelers and it can get congested if there are a lot of people. Also, would be great if they served hot tea. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Mutta Bhaji, Kaaya Bhajji
