Bit pricey compared to other Indian restaurants. Tried Prawns and chicken Biriyani. Even though the restaurant is named Kerala, the biriyani didn't taste like a Kerala biriyani, maybe north Indian. Average taste only

The Kerala serves good food with flavors that truly stand out. The dishes are well-prepared, with fresh ingredients and a perfect blend of spices. However, the service needs improvement. Additionally, there's no dedicated parking. You can park for up to 1.5 hours at the Waitrose lot behind the restaurant, which requires some planning. In summary, while the food is exceptional, be prepared for mediocre service and parking challenges. When asked about quantity of chilli cauliflower to the lady who served us just to check whether it will be enough for 4 of us as a starter she said “she don’t count them “ which we felt rude

Had a pre theatre meal here for the fist time Food was tasty and plenty of choice. Excellent service. Really enjoyed the meal only disappointment was that the restaurant is not in Reigate. However owner told us that he is currently fitting out premises in Church Street Reigate ! so will definately look forward to dining there when it opens

I went there with my family. I have eaten Kerala food at different places. The atmosphere and food taste seemed okay. It was also served quickly. However, I had mentioned to the waiter that my elder daughter is allergic to milk/dairy, eggs and nuts. I asked at least 3 times that the items ordered for her, namely (kerala style) fish curry and (kerala style) chicken curry did not have any of these ingredients. I and my daughter have eaten these above dishes in other kerala restuarants near Croydon, Sutton etc. and know that these dishes generally do not have any of these above allergens. However, despite this I asked the waiter and he assured me that there is no such ingredient. Within about 10 minutes after my daughter had plain rice along with these curries and leaving the restaurant my daughter vomitted twice and also felt very sick and like going to toilet repeatedly. We administered anti-allegen medicines and rushed home. In fact, during the meal my partner had commented that the gravy was unusually thick and I mentioned that might be merely due to addition of coconut milk (which my daughter is not allergic to). But now, after my daughter's reaction, I suspect that some cream (or some other dairy based) or crushed cashewnut was part of the ingredients. The other possibility was that some utensils were used which had been used previously for the allergen ingredients (possible contamination) This shows some degree of callousness on the part of the staff and lack of sensitivity towards allergens. The staff are not well-trained. The restuarant food taste was good for me. The service was also prompt and the staff were friendly, allthough the food was pricier than some of the other Kerala restuarants in Croydon or Sutton. Will I visit this place again? The answer is a firm NO.

Ordered under recommendation and the food was excellent albeit quite expensive. My issue was whilst calling to place an order, the woman taking my order was quite abrupt and rude. When she asked if I wanted poppadums, I casually said they should be free as the bill was £98.00 to which she said “ we don’t do free poppadums” that’s fair enough but won’t be ordering again. It’s their loss as I have a large family and we eat takeaway at least once a week.

I tried to order some food over the phone on 3/10/23 at approximately 12.20 am for lunch. Unfortunately the person who answered the phone was incredibly rude to me when I asked some questions about their menu as I am looking for some typically Keralite food and not just dishes from a bog standard Indian takeway. She told me she had no knowledge of Keralite food and stated "I do not need to know about Keralite food as it is written in the menu and we are in England anyway". If you insist on employing staff who have no knowledge of your cuisine being served, at least teach them to be polite and not racist when informing customers of their lack of knowledge. I suggest you sack this staff member.

We visited Kerala for the first time at their new location. The meal was excellent as usual and our waiter Zac looked after us very well. It was lovely to be served by such an enthusiastic young man considering the last couple of years when their opportunities to work have been so restricted. Great food and excellent service. The menu is varied and some dishes are more spicy that others. Recommend you ask which are the more spicy to suit your own taste.

This place is one of those neat cosy restaurants, able to seat maybe 4/5 tables? That's when you know the food is good, and man is it good. If you really want heat? They can oblige, but I suggest not blasting your tastebuds for the sake of it. The complex, tangy, fruity, savoury flavours in the curries are gorgeous and individual. The service is very friendly and patient, I was happy to see this, our young waiter took his time to be certain he understood our order and read back to us. I would recommend anything on this menu, especially if you wanted to try something new, I would trust them to give me an authentic first try. Recommended sharing starter, the fried cauliflower (assuming you each get your own starter too obvs). Recommended rice, has to be the traditional lemon rice. It's Gorgeous. Everything else, you'll have to go figure yourself ;) Go eat, be happy.

This is the first time I have been to this restaurant. The staff were welcoming and friendly. We were seated quickly. After I had looked at the menu and didn't see the usual Indian fare, I was told that this is a dosa restaurant. Having never tried a dosa I thought "why not?". I had a calamari starter that was beautifully cooked, the batter was light and the squid had just the right amount of bite without being rubbery. The highlight though was the chicken dosa. The batter was light and the filling had nice pieces of chicken. The three accompanying dips added an extra dimension. I tried the dips first and thought the middle one (see photo) was a bit spicy for my palette, but on the dosa . . . I loved it. Would I go again? Absolutely!

It was a wonderful place when it was The Cochin and it's just as wonderful as The Kerala. Excellent and interesting food. South Indian dishes make it far more interesting than your average curry house (appam to go with a meal is a must), but they do the old favourites too (and very well too). They don't deliver (edit: they do now, at least during the lockdown), which is a shame, but it's worth the round trip for a takeaway (we've tried nearly everyone in delivery range but keep coming back here) and it's a lovely place to eat in too. Couldn't recommend it any higher!

Would not be suitable for disabled. All portions including rice and bread were really small and needed to be much more like the photos on the menu.
