The most popular SM street or Mittai Theruvu is the most populated commercial hub of Kozhikode district. Well, the name might be confusing. Yes, mittai or sweets are an integral part, but the shopping here is not restricted to sweets and delights. You can literally purchase everything in SM street. This small alley has shops on both sides that sell items ranging from safety pins to high-tech laptops and mobile phones, from textiles to jewellery. The street is famous for the “Kozhikodan Halwa” that comes in different colours – green, red, yellow and black. Each colour has a special taste and flavour.
Freshly fried banana chips are also at huge demands in the street. It is the busiest place in the whole district as it provides all the items at a cheaper rate. It is definitely a one-stop-shopping hub of Kozhikode. Since there are many shops within the alley that sell similar and same items, it is a highly competitive environment, yet the prices are at a balance. You have the option to bargain in these shops as opposed to the shopping malls and others.
If you enter the street you are sure to carry a large cartoon of items back to home without emptying your pockets. When purchasing electronic devices be extra careful as there might be fake items sold along with the few originals. Visit the busiest alley of Kozhikode to experience the fun of shopping at cheaper rates after a productive bargain. The satisfaction you get is just beyond expression.
