    Decided to book Kerala Canteen before our theatre night. It was our first time here and have to say from start to finish it was ten out of ten. We ordered four sharing tapas which were delicious. The food came out very quickly, then we ordered two desserts which had a Kerala influence and tasted lovely aswell. The Canteen martini’s was amazing, too! The little glass of cardamom hot tea and the small shot at the end of our meal was a nice gesture. Also want to say how friendly the staff were throughout our meal, checking in on us and asking how the food was. Loved the decor and ambience of the restaurant and the toilets were near and very clean. Overall we will definitely be back , loved it!

    A refreshing take on the standard fayre you would find at a standard Indian restaurant. The welcome was friendly and the music set a great atmosphere for an early evening meal. The food was very good and now I need to return to try more dishes from the menu

    The food was lovely, but the service was poor. We had to wait over an hour for our food and one of our dishes was missing. No staff member came to say that there was a delay on food, and we never got asked if we wanted any more drinks. This was not a good first impression. Hopefully, we went on a bad day. All in all, I would give it another go.
    Kerala CanteenResponded on April 20, 2025
    Hi Philip, Thank you for your honest feedback and for giving us a try. We're really glad to hear you enjoyed the food — our kitchen team will be thrilled to know their hard work stood out. We’re truly sorry that the service didn’t match the quality of the food during your visit. Waiting over an hour without communication and a missing dish is not the experience we aim to deliver. We’re taking this seriously and have spoken with the team to ensure better communication and attentiveness moving forward. We’d love to welcome you back for a much smoother and more enjoyable experience — please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can look after you properly next time. Thanks again for your feedback 🙏 – Team Kerala Canteen

If you're open to giving us another try, we’d love the opportunity to make it right. Please reach out to us directly — we’ll make sure your next visit reflects the true Canteen experience. Warm regards, – Team Kerala Canteen

    The food was excellent, very tasty and flavourful. The menu is all small plates so it's nice to try a few different dishes. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable of the food. We had a great dining experience.
