The Night Kattan is a coffee shop in the Sasthamkotta area of Kollam district, positioned along the Adoor–Kollam Road in Kizhakkekallada. The establishment is associated with the local tea-and-snack culture of Kerala, where small food outlets provide a casual setting for enjoying tea, coffee and light refreshments. Public business listings identify The Night Kattan as a coffee shop and place it in the East Kallada–Sasthamkotta area, making it part of the everyday food scene around this part of Kollam. The name itself highlights kattan, the traditional strong black tea commonly enjoyed across Kerala, particularly as an evening beverage accompanied by snacks. Kattan tea is an important part of Kerala's informal dining culture, and tea shops and small cafés often serve it alongside items such as fried snacks and other quick bites. The Night Kattan therefore fits naturally into the local café and tea-shop tradition, offering a straightforward setting for people looking for refreshments during the evening. Available business information lists the establishment as operating during the afternoon and evening, with its opening period extending towards late night, which aligns with the character suggested by its name and makes it relevant to the local evening food scene. THE NIGHT KATTAN Its location within the Sasthamkotta and East Kallada area also places it within a region known for everyday roadside food establishments serving local residents and travellers. Rather than presenting itself as a formal fine-dining restaurant, The Night Kattan is better understood as a casual coffee and tea stop where the emphasis is on refreshments and an informal atmosphere. For visitors exploring Kollam's food culture, establishments of this kind provide an opportunity to experience the everyday side of Kerala dining, where a cup of strong black tea can be as much a part of the local food experience as a full meal. The broader tradition of kattan tea is closely connected with Kerala's tea-shop culture, and local black tea is commonly enjoyed with snacks during breaks and evening gatherings. The Night Kattan consequently adds to the casual food and beverage options around Sasthamkotta, particularly for those looking for a simple evening tea or coffee stop rather than an elaborate restaurant experience. Its identity is centred on the familiar social culture of Kerala's tea shops, where food, conversation and refreshments come together in an informal setting
