Kayal Nottingham

SquareMeal Review of Kayal Nottingham

When Halli, one of Leicester’s most highly rated curry houses, opened a sister restaurant in Nottingham in October 2007, the locals immediately embraced the spicy offering of authentic south Indian seafood. On a prime site in fashionable Hockley, Kayal creates the distinctive culinary flavours of Kerala with dishes ranging from kozhuva (anchovies deep-fried in Kuttanad-style spice mixture) to moru curry (a popular dish featuring sweet mangos & green bananas cooked in yoghurt with green chillis, ginger & fresh curry leaves). With a superb veggie selection, including thali-style set meals for less than £10, you can’t go wrong in terms of choice & value. Housed in a pine-dominated dining room with steel lanterns hanging from the ceiling, this is surely the nearest you’ll get to a Keralan beachside shack in deepest Nottingham.

Excellent lunch venue

What a great place! We visited here on Saturday and it was busy and the staff were great. Really enjoyed it. Super food and the cost was £175 for 2 adults and 3 young. We definitely ordered too much though. Paper dosa was fabulous. Muttar Paneer and aubergine curry really good as were all of the other dishes we had. Save room for a bit of carrot halwa (we shared it) - sublime!

Worth waiting for
A few times I have tried to book a table at KAYAL, but it was always fully booked. Me and my friends decided to take a chance and turn up without a reservation. We arrived just after 8 pm, and we were asked to wait for 15 mins, but we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The staff were very attentive, the food beautifully cooked and perfectly spiced. I strongly recommend trying it!

I conducted my b’day party at Kayal on Feb 6th and felt that they should be appreciated by all means. We were a group of 20 and all of us liked the dishes served by them. It was a busy day for them but the effort that they put in to make everyone happy, not just us, should be appreciated. I had been there before as well and I would suggest you to try their ‘Meen Porichathu’ at least once. The price can’t be considered as cheap, but it is reliable and worth every penny.

Awsome food and friendly service service which is rare in most of the Indian restaurants in Nottingham. I love being there with friends and family. Try it if you like a change
