Keralam South India - Southend-on-Sea

Haven’t been here for a while and forgot how nice it is to have more authentic Indian food that the standard dishes in other restaurants. Midweek visit so not busy, staff attentive and good service. Will definitely not leave it so long until I visit again.

Initial impressions of decor and furniture didn't impress. BUT, the attention to customers and quality of food was incredible! I will certainly return, staff were enthusiastic to ensure the food was well presented and to your liking 11 out of 10 Loved it!

Absolutely awful. The food war horrific, 80% of the food was left untouched. The only good thing about it was the poppadoms. To top it off the restaurant was empty and the waiting time for food was ridiculous. In all honesty I wish the food never came.

Been probably around ten times with friends and family. Every meal there has been incredible, and the service is fantastic. Caters well for vegetarians and has a great variety of south Indian seafood dishes. The chilli fish is my default order, but everything I've tried has been delicious. Also have to shout out the Tarka Dhal, always thought this was quite bland in other restaurants, but it's among my favourites here, so creamy and packed full of flavour.

I went to Keralam with a friend yesterday evening, she wanted to go somewhere a bit different from other Indian restaurants. We weren’t disappointed, the food was amazing, we both ate food we had not had before, the owner patiently answered our questions. We will both be shouting out about this wonderful restaurant.
