About Taste of Kerala

Taste of Kerala is a Kerala restaurant and takeaway at 305 London Rd in Croydon, serving dishes from Kerala in the south of India. The kitchen is built around Kerala specialities, including chatti choru, chatti parotta and mussels roast (kallumekka). Each is a regional dish served as part of a menu that moves between starters, curries, fries and rice. Those with a taste for vegetarian food, meat or seafood will find dishes in each group. The restaurant also runs as a takeaway, so the same Kerala menu can be taken away.

    “Taste of Kerala is a highly regarded restaurant that brings the rich and diverse flavours of South Indian cuisine to the local dining scene. It offers an authentic culinary experience inspired by the traditional cooking styles of Kerala, known for its bold spices, aromatic ingredients, and comforting home-style dishes. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, making it an inviting place for both casual meals and special occasions. One of the strongest aspects of Taste of Kerala is the quality and authenticity of its food. The menu features a wide range of dishes, including classic curries, dosas, seafood specialities, and vegetarian options that reflect the true essence of Kerala cuisine. Each dish is carefully prepared with attention to detail, balancing spice, flavour, and texture in a way that feels both traditional and satisfying. The use of fresh ingredients and aromatic spices gives the food a distinctive depth that stands out from more generic Indian restaurants. The service is another highlight. Staff members are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, often happy to make recommendations based on individual preferences. This helps enhance the dining experience, especially for those who may be unfamiliar with Kerala-style dishes. Orders are generally served promptly, and the staff maintain a warm and respectful approach throughout the visit. The restaurant environment is comfortable and clean, with a simple yet pleasant décor that allows the food to remain the main focus. It is suitable for family meals, group gatherings, or even quiet dinners for two. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between relaxed and lively, depending on the time of day. Overall, Taste of Kerala offers an excellent introduction to authentic South Indian cuisine. Its combination of flavourful dishes, welcoming service, and enjoyable atmosphere makes it a standout choice for anyone looking to explore something different and full of character. It is a restaurant that leaves a lasting impression and encourages repeat visits.”

    “The most authentic Kerala cuisine i have tasted this side of the hemisphere. Quality ingredients coupled with the right amount of spices. Good selection of vegetarian, meat and fish selection. Courteous and attentive staff. Space is a bit small. This is my third visit I would definitely be going back.”
  • Tiggy Allen
    “We had a wonderful time here! The chatti choru and express meal were wonderful. They came quickly, were fresh and delicious and had enough of a kick to make them authentic and taste like eating the real thing. The service by Siddarth was great and I’d recommend a sweet/salt lime soda to go with your meal. Reasonably priced and great value for a wonderful dinner.”

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return to the chatti choru, praised for a kick that makes it taste like the real thing, with the biryani close behind and described as deep in flavour. Diners also single out the chatti parotta, the seafood options, crisp dosas and a biryani Sulaimani, and repeatedly call the food authentic, fresh and delicious, with spice levels that matched what they asked for. Several say it felt like eating back home in Kerala. Food is described as arriving quickly, and the service as friendly, attentive and warm, with one server credited for taking an order carefully and making sure everything was right. Several call the prices reasonable. The one drawback raised is that the space is a bit small. One reviewer suggests a sweet or salt lime soda with the meal, and another was especially pleased to be handed four big bags of complimentary snack.
