Right in the heart of SM Street, locally known as Mittayi Theruv, Sankaran Bakery is one of those nostalgic Kozhikode food spots that instantly transports you into the city’s rich sweet-making culture. The smell of warm ghee, roasted nuts, fresh banana chips, and glossy halwa fills the narrow street long before you reach the bakery counter. Their famous Kozhikodan halwa is soft, chewy, slightly stretchy, and deeply rich with caramelized sweetness that melts slowly in every bite. Locals often stop here during evening shopping walks, while tourists arrive searching for authentic Malabar sweets after watching viral Kozhikode food videos online. Beyond halwa, the bakery is also loved for traditional snacks, fresh puffs, and old-school tea-time treats that perfectly represent Kozhikode’s legendary food culture.
