The Old Monk Food Street, Thodupuzha

The Old Monk Food Street on River View Road in Thodupuzha is one of the town’s ultimate evening hangouts. Situated right alongside the Thodupuzha River, this open-air mini food court perfectly blends scenic, breezy riverside views with a bustling, community-driven street food market. Structured with a central, casual dining area surrounded by a handful of independent food stalls, it offers an impressive variety of quick bites. Food lovers flock here for local favorites like rich Beef Shawarma, smoky Al Faham chicken, and comforting plates from the Thenga Choru (coconut rice) counter. If you are craving variety, the stalls also serve up North Indian chaat, momos, and fresh juices. The real charm of Old Monk, however, is its atmosphere. Enhanced by mellow background music and cozy lighting, it provides a relaxed space to wind down after a long day. Because of its prime location near a local sports turf, it is incredibly popular with young crowds, families, and friends gathering for a post-game meal or a casual nighttime chat.
