Kerala cuisine has a strong connection with coconuts, so unsurprisingly you’ll find this delicious flavour in lots of their dishes from coconut based curries to coconut rice.
For starters you’ll find dishes such as Chilli Lentil Prawns, Curry Leaf Halloumi, Inji Chicken Wings and Keralan Fried Whitebait, each as perfectly spiced as the last. Mouth-watering mains include Alleppy Prawn Mango Curry, Kerala Beef Coconut Fry and Travancore Vegetable Curry, with sides such as Ghee Rice, Lentil and Spinach Dal, Paal Kappa and more. With desserts such as spiced brownies and a creamy Chai Brulee, there’s something to satisfy your sweet tooth here too.

On the drinks menu you’ll find a selection of delicious drinks chosen to compliment those vibrant flavours.
