In Kerala there is a cafe and restaurant chain called the Indian Coffee House. The Indian coffee house is completely owned and managed by its employees.

In Thiruvananthapuram I found this Indian Coffee House branch (operated by Maveli Cafe) near the main train station.



This cafe is worth visiting for the building alone. It is cylindrical shaped and there is no floors as such, just a corkscrew ramp that wraps itself around a central shaft where the kitchen is and waiters enter to and from.




When you enter you just keep walking up the ramp until you find an empty stall.

Only in Asia could you see a Synagogue and Swastika's side by side. Fort Cochi in Kerala was once a prosperous trading port. It has been a Portuguese, Dutch and British outpost, and there has been a Jewish presence throughout. The synagogue in Jew Town was built in 1568.
