Great ambience by combining fine dining with traditional Kerala food. Highly urge everyone to come here for the food and the amazing drinks. ”
“ Great and professional services. The starter, fried spicy cheese was so great. The two main courses were good too but the chicken was kinda dry. After all, good and will come back again. ”

“ Very impressed with this restaurant. When in Southampton I would always frequent. Friendly staff and good service and was a busy Saturday evening. My lamb curry was one of the most tender and tasty I have had. I have spent time in Asia and Sri Lanka and the curry here is authentic. There are the usual curries on the menu as well as tandoori dishes. 10/10. ”
“ Wonderful experience. Walked in without booking, although busy a table was made available. The service was quick and friendly. The food was beautiful, my son had a chicken rogan and I had a lamb vindaloo. My vindaloo packed a punch but had great flavour. I highly recommend this place, it's a real gem. ”
“ Super good Kerala restaurant - great food and service. Tried porotta beef curry and a Biriyani to go. Friendly hotel manager from Kerala who has been running this restaurant for last 14 years. Originally this was opened more than 40 years back by a different restauranteur ”
