Kayal - Carta

Aww! Amazing Kerala-style restaurant with the fragrance of coconut oil in it . After a long, I tried some proper south Indian cuisine, and I would say it's worth trying in here for dinner or lunch. Recommend to have quick bites of fish pollichal which get wrapped in banana leaf still can remember the taste of those

Excellent authentic South Indian food Had a craving for having fish for a very long time Kayal did not disappoint Fish curry was absolutely amazing The combination with Aapam was awesome Prawns was nicely made Fish biryani was good too Ambience is very nice and friendly staff Definitely coming back for trying more dishes

One of the best south Indian I've been to. Being a South Indian myself I can confirm that the food is excellent and all the south Indian items are very authentic. Staff are excellent they are very polite and service is pretty quick. Vio and Niraj are really very kind and helpful. Lot of veg options and they have big tables for large groups. Ver carta

There were only two tables taken when we arrived so was surprised to have to chase the waiting staff to order drinks, especially as it was a very hot evening. The food was excellent, but some of the portion sizes were small with only a few petite cubes of lamb in the chef’s signature dish. They really need to up their wine game the Pinot Grigio was underwhelming and the Merlot tasted really poor.

The food is very delicious and the price is reasonable. The grilled fish as a starter is my favorite although it’s a bit spicy. The king prawn starter is also very nice. We ordered a main- chicken stew in coconut sauce, this is probably not the best main for strong taste people as it is quite mild. Compared with amazing starter the main is so so. In terms of the price this meal is definitely worth the value. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall, considering everything 5 out of 5 dining experience in this restaurant.

Kayal has the potential to be great. Menu reads well and the flavours are good. They rebranded a year or so back and now serve the curries in odd large-lipped bowls. This means you need a side plate to put your rice on. Value for money is really not up to par here though. I ordered the 'chefs signature ' lamb curry, £16.45, Tender cubes of lamb . But I only got a few small grisly pieces (see photo). The meen curry was better but at £17 before rice and breads it had better be! Bill was in the 60s for some poppadoms, 2 curries, one rice, one appam, two desserts and two half drinks. We pay less at our favourite Sri Lankan restaurant in central London... Ver carta

Kayal has good ambience which gives you vibes of a typical kerala restaurant(in uk). Has wide variety of food in its menu and nothing felt over priced. Say around 10 pounds per person excluding drinks. And coming to drinks they do serve Indian beers like Kingfisher. Service was great and the staffs where friendly... We ordered a sea food platter which wasn't the best I ve tried... We also ordered beef roast which was okay... Will visit again during lunch time as i am told that their lunch menu is better... Has limited parking on site, so might struggle a bit during peak hours... Even though food wasn't exceptional, the overall experience was satisfactory. Will definitely try again and update...

Not sure we had a pleasant experience at Kayal Byfleet this week after making an hour’s drive each way to get from where we live! We previously visited Leamington Spa restaurant which didn’t disappoint us, hence dined without looking at any reviews. To start with, it took 15 20mins and couple of chases to get someone to take our drinks order. Food also took its own sweet time to arrive on a week day where only 20% of the tables were occupied. Food Kerala cuisine??? You have really re defined “keralan” food :D absolutely poor taste and not at all authentic. Check out the picture how Kerala porotta looks like, what was served to me is called pappadam where I come from ;o Will I visit again? Ab...

Review done: My family and I am a huge fan of Kerala dishes. I’ve been to several Kerala restaurants in London but they don’t come anywhere near the quality and the taste served in Kayak restaurant. As starters we had the Mixed seafood platter and Kayal Konju Chilly. It’s certainly fair to say the starters made us hungrier and more excited to get the mains. As mains, we had the full thilapi, porotta, chicken curry and ghee rice. They were delicious as expected. After polishing off the plates, we moved to the deserts pineapple Kesari and semiya payasam. Knowing that we are in Kayal restaurant, one of our friends asked us to take away some dishes for them as they have been here a few times. Th... Ver carta
