Azad Restaurant, Medical College
21 people recommend, 4 warn against itvia r/Trivandrum, X, r/Thiruvananthapuram30 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Azad is a recurring recommendation for Trivandrum-style biryani, with city-wide opinions pooled on the explicitly praised Medical College outlet. Mutton biryani receives specific praise, and several diners describe the pineapple accompaniment, usually without identifying a branch. One recent diner enjoyed that version at Overbridge; this does not establish the same serving at Medical College. The brand also draws criticism: diners question its value, one dislikes the shift towards Tamil-style biryani, another finds the flavour similar to biryanis elsewhere in Kerala, and one strongly dislikes it. A commenter praises Medical College while warning against Vazhuthacaud, so the outlet distinction matters.
