"Sky Grill trades on the best rooftop view in Maradu — grills and barbecue 200ft up at Crowne Plaza make it Kochi's easy choice for sundowners."
About Sky Grill
Sky Grill is the rooftop grill and lounge crowning Crowne Plaza Kochi, the IHG hotel built in 2012 at Kundanoor Junction in Maradu, on the NH-47 bypass south of central Kochi. It sits roughly 200 feet above sea level, which is the whole pitch: a panoramic terrace over the backwaters and city skyline.
The kitchen spans North Indian, Kerala and Continental cooking, but the name tells you where its heart is — signature grills and barbecue, eaten outdoors with a drink as the light drops. Live music and an alfresco section make it as much a sundowner lounge as a dinner restaurant.
The Kitchen
The draw is the grill: signature chargrilled meats and seafood and barbecue platters, backed by a Continental menu and Kerala and North Indian dishes for the table. It is hotel-grill cooking done well rather than a chef-driven tasting room, and it plays to the setting — shareable plates and a long drinks list to match the view.
Order off the grill and treat the rest as supporting cast; the rooftop and the barbecue are what people come back for.
The Room
The space is a rooftop lounge with an open-air terrace on the top of Crowne Plaza Kochi, 200ft up, with skyline and backwater views on every side. Lighting is low, there is live music, and the alfresco seating is the section to ask for. Dress is smart-casual and the mood leans lounge — it is open from noon to midnight.
Best for Drinks with a View
A high rooftop, grills and a long drinks list make Sky Grill a reliable pick for sundowners and after-work drinks or a relaxed first date with a skyline backdrop; the alfresco terrace is the seat to request.
Not for
Not for a quiet, fine-dining dinner — it is a lively rooftop lounge with live music and a bar crowd, so diners after a hushed room should look elsewhere.
