What people say, in short
Alankar draws repeated recommendations across its Thrissur outlets; this listing is the East Fort restaurant. Porotta with beef is the recurring brand-wide favourite, not a promise about every branch's menu: an older-outlet commenter says some favourites may be absent from the newer restaurant. Biryani opinions across the brand are mixed. At East Fort, one group found the signature platter insufficient and poor value. Table waits also come up in more than one account. The overall support is substantial, but branch choice, dish choice and expectations about the dining experience matter.
