Kerala Restaurant - Leeds

We chose to have a late lunch and were craving Indian cuisine.... We had visited this restaurant in the past, when it had a different name, so we decided to try it again. The food was fantastic, truly authentic and brought back memories of our trip to India. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking to experience something unique and not the typical British Indian cuisine.

We had been wanting to try out this restaurant for some time, and finally made it there recently. The restaurant building and decor appear a bit worn out, but the food was truly authentic and delicious. The dishes were not overly spicy, but you could definitely taste the curry flavors. We started with appetizers and had a main course of chicken thali and a mutton dish with chapatti, which were all delightful and flavorful. The meat was cooked perfectly and the spices were distinct, creating a rich and aromatic experience. The service was a bit slow for a city center restaurant, but we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Overall, it was a great dining experience and we will definitely be returning.

This restaurant is a great choice for either lunch or dinner. They offer gluten and dairy free options and provide prompt service. No reservation is needed. They have a variety of dosas to choose from, and occasionally offer a buffet option.

A strange experience. On reviewing the menu, I was excited to try the food as the meals are not your normal curries. Unfortunately the experience was a bit mixed. When ordering the waiter suggested we be careful as we’d ordered a lot of food, which I thought was good service. But we’d ordered a pickle tray with x6 popadoms. When it arrived the tray was tiny and only just suitable for 1 person. So we ordered x2 more but even those portions weren’t great as you only had enough lime pickle for one mouth full. For starters my friends shared a meat platter, which was great value. I’d ordered the fried fish and it wasn’t great (Borderline burnt). Main courses were mixed again. My Chicken Thali was ok, but my friend ordered a chicken dish the waiter said was like a madras that tasted like chicken and Bisto gravy. All in all it was slightly disappointing for what it cost. There’s potential and one dish was amazing. But we could have just ordered the wrong ones. I’d go to Akbars over the road.

Food was absolutely fantastic, staff really friendly too, all in all a great experience. Highly recommended place to eat. Will visit again soon.
