Taste of Kerala
Kerala’s cuisine is shaped by its coastline fragrant with coconut, lifted by curry leaves, and layered with the gentle warmth of spices. Our menu celebrates the flavours of Kerala: the comfort of parippu cheera vada, seafood drawn from the coast, and robust preparations such as spiced meat fry dishes and griddled breads that bring depth and texture to the table. From the subtle tang of mango to the richness of coconut and the earthiness of spices, each dish reflects a cuisine that is both vibrant and deeply rooted in tradition. Refined, expressive, and quietly complex, welcome to a Taste of Kerala.£75 per person | Wine Pairing £35CHAYA KADIParippu Cheera Vada Lentil and spinach fritters with tomato chutneyCHAKKA 65Jackfruit, Keralan onion chilli jamKURUMULAGU KONCHUTellicherry peppercorn-crusted langoustines with mango moilee, pachadi
