Cafe Hive - Restaurant in Thiruvananthapuram - Thiruvananthapuram, India

Visited Apollo Dimora with family and had lunch at their restaurant 'Hive' . It was an excellent experience for us. Food was great and the staff were very courteous, especially Anvar who had been super supportive. He had even arranged a walk around of the property for us. My spouse was really stunned by the Surprise Birthday cake they have planned for her. A peaceful abode in the middle of city hustle.

Cafe hive is a restaurant situated within Hotel Apollo Dimora. We went there for lunch on a Sunday and the place was all empty. Throughout the time we were there I guess only one more couple had come over. We were welcomed with a plate of masala papad. The staff was really warm and helpful in presenting the menu. We got ourselves Paneer Tikka as an appetizer and then got Chicken Tikka biriyani and Mutton Biriyani. We liked the fact that biriyani comes with long rice and the staff was more than welcome to accommodate our requirement of making the biriyani with extra masala. Both the biriyani were pretty good although, I feel it could have been better. The place has huge parking available for customers.

I tried their dinner buffet which was priced at 799+tax. Overall the buffet was really good. They had a decent spread with 4 non veg and 5 veg items, soup, rice, noodles, breads, salads and dessert. All their item were good but what I felt that stood out was their non veg starters which was the chicken Manchurian and beef fry. Both the chicken and beef were cooked to perfection with right amount of flavors. Last but not the least I should not forget the staff who were really fantastic, well behaved & tended to our needs right on time. Overall 8.5/10 Definitely recommend..

The Multi cuisine Restaurant in hotel Apollo Dimora Gives you a long menu to chose from and a buffet also with very reasonable price, available Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner And the friendly team is always there for you.

We had gone for dinner tonight, the spread was amazing and service was top notch. Manager Anwar assisted us the best way and made us feel home, the positive vibe and promising smile made the dinner extra special. Will be visiting again.Special Thanks to the chef ,we appreciate your hardwork.

Went there today evening for the first time based off the reviews on google. First thing we saw on entering was a large table full of leftovers that weren't cleaned. Not an issue. Got to our seat and as soon as I sat down I noticed the knife on the table had a dead fly stuck to it. Alerted the staff and they just took it away nonchalantly. We were there with a toddler and so asked if they had a baby seat. In comes the seat and it is the most disgusting piece of furniture there! Even my 3 year old refused to sit on it. We didn't bother dining there after that.Surely if this is what we can see, I'm afraid to know what happens in the kitchen.

Absolutely atrocious experience here. We made sure we looked at the website before going here. The website and listing on Google says they are open from morning till night. We got here at 11:30am for an early lunch. As we walked in, it was clear they weren't strating lunch yet. The staff confirmed that with us, which is fine! So we asked for a menu. After about 10 mins of waiting, they brought a menu, gave it to me and told me nothing on the menu is available. Super confused why this man even gave me the menu. He told us they only had a few sandwiches available. He listed a few, and we picked the chicken sandwich. After a few more mins, someone came back and told us their chicken sandwich was unavailable. Hangry, we said whatever sandwich is fine. Then after waiting a few more mins, they asked us to sit in a different corner of the restaurant, since they wanted to clean; this I was okay with. After waiting about 33 mins, i decided it was time to leave. I went to ask who I assumed was the matron in charge if I could just cancel our order and leave. With a surprised look, she asked what was wrong, not knowing that we weren't served yet. We were already running a little late and frustrated so we were getting ready to leave. She insisted it was already ready and they just forgot to serve us. We were too hungry that we agreed to it. Then they charged us a baffling amount to serve us what was a sad excuse for a sandwich and under-seasoned fries.

I went with my friends for a dinner, the place is both calm as it is well isolated from the outside noise and happening at the same time, it is close to the Thampanoor railway station and bus station. The food is good enough, for someone like me who is from the Malabar area, the food may not be so much pleasing....but is decent and above all has nice ambiance.
