    We absolutely loved this restaurant, the welcome masala tea on arrival was just perfect. The food , where do I start, the flavours I tasted the garlic the ginger, not just heat of the chilli’s . The ambiance of the restaurant just makes the whole experience so special.

    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
