Kayal

This restaurant was an Indian one with a difference. Cuisine from Kerala (S India) which certainly extremely tasty. Spices with a great dinner gave us a chance to have a great dinner. Too many options to mentions, dishes that differed from your normal run-of-the-mill Indian type food. The restaurant is in a street packed with every type of food eatery you could think of. The inside, seating area was quite crowded for mid week so that speaks for itself. The decor was tastefully done, the young lady serving us was ace. Also has a 1965 BSA motorbike on display, see my pic. 10/10 for our first visit to Leamington for many years 👏👏👏

I recently dined at Kayal, a South Indian cuisine restaurant. The food was undeniably delicious, though it did lack the authentic spiciness that is often associated with South Indian dishes. The restaurant's ambiance is truly remarkable, featuring opulent interiors, which contribute to an overall upscale experience. The staff's warm welcome and the impeccable cleanliness of the washroom were notable. Additionally, Kayal offers an upstairs dining area for those seeking a different atmosphere. However, as a South Indian myself, I couldn't help but notice that the prices were exceptionally high, even for basic tea snacks. It left me with the impression that the pricing might be tailored more towards the local residents in the area. The milder spice level in the dishes also appeared to cater to a broader, potentially non-Indian, audience.

It was the best experience to have the south indian food as a North Indian the decor is superb and the hanging royal enfied the food is delicious and good options for vegetarians people and our waiter george has suggested us the best vegetarian dishes from the menu he knows the menu very well definitely coming back and highly recommended thank you kayal and team

My day was made wonderful by the eatery Kayal. Their kallappam, biriyani, paratha, and mixed seafood curry are on my order. My favourite of the breads was the kallappam, and it went well with the creamy curry. The side gravy took the thalassery biriyani from good to a higher level.Additionally, I should remark how amazing their packaging was. I am thankful to the Kayal team and excited to try more in the future.

Went here for a meal with my daughter and her girlfriend. This place was recommended to us by them. The place has a very different feel than your normal indian restaurant. Very different. The place has a warm atmosphere and the staff really can't do enough for you. We ordered drinks and starters. It took about 15 mins to arrive. Very nice indeed. The main course followed shortly after and again very very nice. This is not your typical Indian restaurant. This place serves proper Indian food that Indian people eat. Not the westernized rubbish you get in most places. Don't come here is what I'm saying if you want a balti or chicken Tikka masala.. It's not on the menu. The food I will say is out of this world.. Really. Take it from me. I was born and raised in Birmingham.. You will not be disappointed. Most of the food is from an area of Indian called Kerala. Real authentic dishes. Will definitely be going again and would definitely recommend..

An overall 4 because whoever is at the bar needs some classes in cocktail making. Served in a martini glass, my drink came with a straw and ice??!! Clearly made by someone who has no idea about drink making. Food is really good, full of flavour and portions huge (for me!) Friendly staff help you with selections too.

Traditional Kerala dishes brought with a British twist, which can equally satisfy an Indian and British palate, is the speciality of Kayal's dishes. We have been here many times before and had tried several dishes. Our favourites include seafood dishes - seafood platter for starters, tilapia pollichathu (wrapped in banana leaves), and alapuzha konju masala with Kerala Parotta or coconut rice. Although it's a bit on the expensive side, it can be reserved for special occasions- worth for ambience and food.
