I recently paid a visit to this place, which was one of my most recent visits among the many times I've been here before. However, I must say that I have noticed a considerable decline in the quality of both the food and the service at the restaurant since my first visit back in 2018. The flavors of the dishes just don't compare to how delicious they used to be five years ago. Additionally, the place appears to be deserted with most of the seats left empty. It's disheartening to see that people don't take proper care of the only occupied table in the entire restaurant. Furthermore, the air conditioning doesn't seem to be functioning, making the environment uncomfortable for patrons.
While I understand that the staff members are doing their best with the limited resources available to them, I believe the main issue lies with the negligence of the top management. For example, the fish nirvana dish I ordered was a far cry from the real deal. The quality of the fish served was subpar, and it was evident that something was amiss. As someone who was once a staunch advocate for this restaurant during its initial stages, I am disappointed to admit that I can no longer vouch for it.
In order to improve the situation, I have a few suggestions that I believe could make a significant difference. Firstly, the management should prioritize reevaluating the quality of the ingredients and the overall cooking process to ensure the food tastes as flavorful as it did in the past. They should also consider investing in proper maintenance and repair of the air conditioning system to provide a comfortable dining experience for customers. Additionally, the management needs to foster a culture of attentiveness and professionalism among the staff, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clean and inviting atmosphere.
By addressing these issues and implementing necessary changes, I believe the restaurant can regain its former glory and regain the trust and loyalty of its customers. It is my hope that they will take these suggestions into serious consideration and work towards creating an enjoyable dining experience once again.

Yummy yummy food!!! Staff was very attentive and also assisted in making sure my child was safe as he wanted to walk around the restaurant. This was such a big help as it let's us enjoy our meal without stress. I'm sure every mother can relate to this.
Highly recommended for families with kids.

Calicut Live Express is a newly opened restaurant in mehboula area. This is an outlet of the Calicut Live Salmiya.
Parking is available ample although the restaurant is located in a residential area.
Ambience is extremely good and the restaurant is painted colorful and looks are much better than Salmiya ourlet. Spacious and well arranged tables wnd chairs, arranged in a non-crowded way.
The menu is almost same as the Salmiya outlet. We have been here for the breakfast and hence can review the food with respect to breakfast. We tried thattu dosa, which was of exceptional taste, with full matching taste of kerala style coconut chutney, tomato chutney and sambar. Three pieces of thattu dosa is served in one plate.Puttu with Kadala curry was the next item, we tried. Once again, it matches the authentic taste of kerala style, and recommend everyone to try this. Another item we tried is nice pathiri and nadan chicken curry. The pathiri is not as soft as what you normally get in good restaurants, but that doesn't mean it is not good. The chicken curry was tasty. The last breakfast item we tried was poori bhaji, which also was very good. Three pooris are served in one plate and the poori is biggrr in size. Tea and Coffee tried, coffe was very good but tea was average taste and needs improvement.
Overall, the restaurant rating is very good with competent staff and hence given five star rating
Nice place. Clean and well maintained. Friendly and professional staff. One of the plus point is that they have a restroom, something that several of the restaurant in the vicinity lack. I wish they had breakfast items available during all the time.
Very calm quite nice place ( only because it was a week days).
Very well maintained, good staff, neat & clean.
One thing that I have noticed very specific is the glass - it was crystal clear ( normally this is not the case in most of the places).
Good for Kerala - Malabari cusine.
They do have party hall for occasions.
