Absolutely loved this cafe! The nostalgic ambiance, crafted by turning a house into a cafe, is simply brilliant. The concept is unique and adds to the charm. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. If you prefer, you can also enjoy your time outside sitting area. The location is perfect, making it one of the popular go-to places around.

We had dinner at the 1980's restaurant during a family trip to Wayanad in Kerala. Due to time constraints, we dropped in here for dinner on the eve of 24 December around 8 pm. The place was packed with people. There was an overflow of crowd. Lucky for us the management was managing the crowd with tokens.
After 30 minutes of waiting, we got to our table. The entire place was furnished to give the visitors a rustic feeling. The interiors were well done. On checking with the waiter, the place was famous for Malabar cuisines
We ordered Kerala parota, nice pattiri, ghee rice, chicken masala and beef roast. We were in for a surprise.
The parrot was a little thick and we thought it may not be tasty but was mistaken.
The pattiri was really soft and very nice.
The chicken masala was a very different combination of spices and gravy. It came with 3 big pieces.
The beef roast was the star of the day. The meat was cooked to perfection with the perfect blend of hotness and spices and went well with the ghee rice.
After dinner, we had lemon tea at the tea shop located outside and it was really good.
It is the perfect place for good food with a traditional setup.
Must try!
It's busy and you might have to wait for sometime, but its worth it.
Amazing food. Good service. Good ambience.
Had sadya, It tastes really nostalgic.
They had a store called 'Pathayam' for some of the finest quality spices.
Great ambiance.. they've preserved the traditional kerala architecture for a premium restaurant. There's no food menu available. Maybe crowded most of the time. So you'll have to wait for a while.
Excellent place to catch a bite, places gives off authentic tharavad vibes. Endorsed by multiple mollywood celebrities, the head waiter has an excellent memory (remembered us between visits, weeks apart) and caters to your every requirement. Heavily biased towards nonveg although you can get a few good veg food as well at all times. Perfect for a Tea time pit stop on a long ride
Omg, such an amazing restaurant with typical Kerala style foods. The one who wants to explore Kerala foods must go there. Mr. Santhosh was our attender he was so calm and active. Everyone there were quite friendly.
Must visit if you are in Wayanad. Everything served there is good. We visited this place for lunch on both days and enjoyed the food, ambience and service. We ordered Chattichoru, Malabar biriyani, pathiri and mutton chops. Everything was too good. Ended with lemon tea.

Overall, I had a fantastic dining experience at 1980's A Nostalgic Restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Kerala Cuisine.
Food and ambience is greatest as described in any review.
But the best part of the experience comes when you talk to their managers/waiters about the food and taste you want.
They don't have menu cards available so their conversation with you gives you a best experience ever.
They understand english, hindi(few) and malyali
Best Restaurant in Wayanad to have and enjoy Kerala style food. Ambience is added advantage to feel a aesthetic environment and enjoy the meal. Price is also reasonable.
One of the best restaurant I have been to.
It is crowded and you got to stay in queue. But the wait is not discouraging. The food was delicious. It is hard to find such a good restaurant around that area.
You can see a lot of people standing in queue.
We tried almost everything we could from there and everything tasted so malayali.
Their biriyani had a unique taste.
Trust me it was worth.
And the atmosphere itself gives us a nostalgic feel.
Me and my friends were looking for a authentic old restaurant and encountered this one on our trip to wayanad. This is a old big house converted to a hotel and been serving authentic food . We had kuli parota with beef and thali with fish polichathu on two diff occasions. We liked the food . Kuli parota was awesome and Thali had too many items with it . Special abt this place is a lot is celebrities had visited this place including the legend Mammooty . One thing abt this place is it’s too traffic on weekends. So be early and get in early. Apart from this 1980 nostalgic is a great place and I ll recommend this place for sure .
A neat place to have your lunch. Food is tasty, Fish items are a little overpriced. The ambience is nice and nostalgic.
If you're a vegetarian you might find it difficult to find much options in Wayanad. But this place was a saviour for me. Great food, affordable price, very friendly staff. And plus point: retro music playing in the background which just adds to the vibe.
They also have a small shop if you wish to grab some local spices and pickles.
