About WAYANAD TASTE
Wayanad Taste is a Kerala restaurant on Manchester Rd in Oldham, serving a Kappa Biriyani made in the pal kappa style alongside the more familiar rice version. Kerala Porotta comes with beef fry or beef coconut fry, and the menu also runs to fish pollichathu, fish biriyani, and pothi beef biriyani, with pazhampori and beef on the side. Thattukada Chicken fry is offered as a spicy option, and nadan chai rounds out the drinks. The dining room is small, and the restaurant suggests take-away for groups of more than two. Soft Malayalam music plays in the background. Service is walk-in, with no reservations taken.

Customer Review Summary
Kerala porotta draws the most attention, with reviewers calling it crispy and flaky and pairing it with beef fry or beef coconut fry. Close behind are the kappa biriyani, which one reviewer rates the best they have had in the UK or Kerala, and the fish biriyani and fish pollichathu, described as tangy and coconutty. Diners also name the thattukada chicken fry, with one noting a strong spicy kick, along with pothichor, pal kappa, pazhampori with beef and the nadan chai. Reviewers repeatedly describe generous portions, fresh preparation and reasonable prices, and several call the staff friendly, polite and accommodating. The one recurring drawback is space: a reviewer says the room is quite tight and prefers takeaway for groups of more than two, saying they would otherwise give it a perfect score. One returning customer, on their fifth visit, says they will be back, and another mentions soft Malayalam music that made the meal feel like home.

“Absolutely Authentic Kerala Flavors – A Must-Visit! I recently visited this wayanad taste and it instantly transported me to the backwaters of God's Own Country! We started with crispy Kerala Porotta paired with rich Beef Fry – the flavors were perfectly balanced with fresh coconut, curry leaves, and bold spices. Fish pollichathu was outstanding – tangy, coconutty, and packed with authentic taste. The portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and the service is friendly and attentive. They even played soft Malayalam music in the background, making the whole meal feel like home.”
