What Payal P doesn't like about Kalpakavadi:
Worst experience with staff and food , I had Oder utapa and my husband ordered masala dosa , it was thick and raw plus sambhar is so thick after complaining to staff even they didn't bother to do something that and said that u should try in the middle . It's a ridiculous service , and I will recommend it to anyone . View all feedback. What Sanu S likes about Kalpakavadi:
One of the best Kerala cuisine/Malayali food in york Authentic Kerala taste. Large filling portions. Affordable prices. Friendly cheerful staff. Clean, hygienic and aesthetic interiors. Wide range of Kerala food and drinks. Quick and excellent overall service. I definitely recommend the Kerala beef fry is amazing. The fish and beef were the best I've had in a while. Definitely recommend kalpakavadi and will go again... View all feedback.

After a long time we had a mouthwatering meal. We tried sea food platter and two varieties of dosas both were delicious. We will visit again

We had an unbelievable meal last night. Sure great service and amazing menu. So much love has been put into the place and the food. Cannot recommend enough!!

The restaurant had a mix of positive and negative reviews. Some customers praised the authentic Kerala cuisine, friendly staff, and ample vegan/gluten-free options. Others were disappointed by off-tasting chicken, lack of variety in the menu, and issues with food quality such as thick sambhar and pureed lentil curry. The location and service received high marks from all reviewers, with repeat visits being common. Dishes such as railway lamb curry, Kerala beef fry, and appam were particularly popular. Overall, the restaurant seems to excel in certain areas while needing improvement in others, making it a mixed bag for diners.
