We had a great evening out as a family. It was a very good meal and all the staff were welcoming and helpful. We will come again

Kayal restaurant in Nottingham offers a taste of authentic Kerala cuisine in a traditional South Indian setting. While some diners found the thali disappointing and service lacking, most agreed that the food was above average. Highlights included dishes like fish curry and masala dosa, perfect for sharing with friends or family. The restaurant also hosts special events, like a magician for kids on Friday nights, adding to the overall dining experience. With friendly service and a varied menu, Kayal is a must-try for those looking for a taste of Kerala in the heart of town.
