    Golden-brown dumplings with a crispy exterior, served with a sweet and tangy dipping sauce and a fresh side salad, alongside a piece of chargrilled chicken with a savory glaze and a small potato.
    Fluffy white rice served with creamy chicken curry, rich lentil dal, soft naan bread, crispy papadum, and a cooling yogurt sauce.

    food was very nice, staff were friendly and attentive. the restaurant was cosy and it was very clean. overall we'd definitely recommend it

    We booked through The Fork with 50% off through The Fork Festival. I only realised the next day we didn't get the discount. While everything about the restaurant was excellent, they should not sign up to discounts if the are not going to give them.

    We were greeted by a charming gentleman who seat us and gave us the menu to browse and took are drinks order. The food when it arrived was excellently presented and tasted exquisite. Delicately flavours with a beautiful taste. Having visited Kerela several times I. A confirm the food is very authentic and not your normal Indian restaurant. Thoroughly recommended and we will definable visiting again next time we are in Cardiff
