Was Anonym at Vel Kitchen a mag?
Through a very long measure the best South Indian food we had outside India or Malaysia. A meal here is like an evening trip to the Indian districts of Kelang or Brickfields in Kuala Lumpur. The aromas are rich and authentic and the staff is hospitable and attentive. Excellent to all numbers. View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Vel Kitchen:
Food was good only bad dish was the lamb chops which had good flavour, but for the price they were too thin and were very burnt. Also the service was not good, there was only 1 guy taking the orders, serving the food and cleaning tables. The starters took about 20-25 minutes to arrive, which is too long for the dishes ordered. At least two people are needed at the front- not just one. View all feedback.

Very good place for south Indian dishes.Vada dipped in sambar is a must try along with chicken kothu and veg kothu.One thing though, if you plan to dine in make sure to have ample time, since they take time to serve.Online ordering works best in that case.

I can confidently say that this restaurant is a hidden gem in Reading. The staff is incredibly welcoming and always greets you with a smile. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the food is top-notch and consistently fresh. I'm a big fan of their breakfast buffet. I highly recommend it!

Decent place with minimum variety of lunch buffet but I found the food (biryani) as very dry. Chef and manager were quiet attentive and requested feedback for improvement. Hopefully it gets better and bigger in future.
