Lovely authentic Kerala food and service with smile.
They were very happy to cater to our food allergies.
The appams were super soft and all curries really yumm. The food came pretty quickly as well!
The food was great - not your average Indian takeaway food; this is very authentic, and very tasty!
We had the vegetable platter dinner, which was a great way to try all sorts of different flavours.
Only negatives were that we could have had better service, we were left hanging a few times, and there could have been some info on the menu as to what was served in the platter.
However - we had a lovely, delicious dinner and would definitely recommend Kayal for a different Indian food experience!
We enjoyed our visit. The service was good, the atmosphere was great and the food was superb. I enjoyed a Dosa (curry in a pancake) and my wife had a delicious smoky fish dish. The others I was with enjoyed their curries and biryani too. There is plenty of parking nearby in the station car park. There's space for push chairs and some high chairs available. Overall highly recommended.

My family and I am a huge fan of Kerala dishes. I’ve been to several Kerala restaurants in London but they don’t come anywhere near the quality and the taste served in Kayak restaurant.
As starters we had the Mixed seafood platter and Kayal Konju Chilly. It’s certainly fair to say the starters made us hungrier and more excited to get the mains.
As mains, we had the full thilapi, porotta, chicken curry and ghee rice. They were delicious as expected. After polishing off the plates, we moved to the deserts - pineapple Kesari and semiya payasam.
Knowing that we are in Kayal restaurant, one of our friends asked us to take away some dishes for them as they have been here a few times.
The staff were very friendly, polite and very knowledgeable about the dishes on the menu. The restaurant is big and airy. We will be back!
Kayal has good ambience which gives you vibes of a typical kerala restaurant(in uk). Has wide variety of food in its menu and nothing felt over priced. Say around 10 pounds per person excluding drinks. And coming to drinks they do serve Indian beers like Kingfisher. Service was great and the staffs where friendly... We ordered a sea food platter which wasn't the best I ve tried... We also ordered beef roast which was okay... Will visit again during lunch time as i am told that their lunch menu is better... Has limited parking on site, so might struggle a bit during peak hours... Even though food wasn't exceptional, the overall experience was satisfactory. Will definitely try again and update...

Lovely restaurant with beautiful ambience.
Loved their kappa and fish curry. food was delicious overall.
The food is very delicious and the price is reasonable. The grilled fish as a starter is my favorite although it’s a bit spicy. The king prawn starter is also very nice. We ordered a main- chicken stew in coconut sauce, this is probably not the best main for strong taste people as it is quite mild. Compared with amazing starter the main is so so. In terms of the price this meal is definitely worth the value. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall, considering everything 5 out of 5 dining experience in this restaurant.
Aww! Amazing Kerala-style restaurant with the fragrance of coconut oil in it 😍. After a long, I tried some proper south Indian cuisine, and I would say it's worth trying in here for dinner or lunch. Recommend to have quick bites of fish pollichal which get wrapped in banana leaf still can remember the taste of those 😍😍😍😍😍
Kayal is am amazing place. Right near the train station. I went there during the social distancing times and can recommend this place to anyone who wants to go out and eat there with peace of mind. The tables are well spaced out and the guests are seated with enough distance between them. The staff wear their face masks. They are quite friendly and helpful. The chef was fantastic. Quite a few dishes were ordered and they were just fabulous. Highly recommended.
Extremely satisfied with their food and satisfied with their food. They have varieties of sea food options too
