    Luke warm starters. Not even sat 5 minutes when asked for my orders. Small plates really mean small plates, speed dining is the game, but not for us. Cold draught every time door was opened

    Outstanding food, service and attitude from all involved. Nothing too much trouble and food was perfect. Exactly what it says in the tin! Very clever to serve the ‘Tapaz’ style of Indian food. We left 💯 happy and looking forward to eating there again Cannot recommend highly enough.

    The menu is not extensive, although there is enough choice for various dietary options. Food is very tasty, nice portions too. My only gripe is food is served luke warm, especially the sea bass fillet ( very tasty though) Staff are extremely attentive, welcoming & friendly! Well worth a visit.

    Kerala Canteen is an absolute delight for anyone who craves authentic, flavorful South Indian cuisine. From the moment you step inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. The menu is a treasure trove of classic Kerala dishes, each brimming with rich spices and traditional flavors that transport you straight to the coastal state. The must-try items are their sea bass, lamp chips and hassleback potatoes. The food is not only delicious but beautifully presented, showcasing the vibrant colors and textures that Kerala cuisine is known for. Their attention to detail and commitment to authenticity are truly commendable. On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. Whether you're a longtime fan of South Indian food or exploring it for the first time, Kerala Canteen promises an unforgettable culinary journey. It's a gem worth visiting again and again!

    The food was very very good, we have visited a fair few of the Indian/Asian restaurants in Leeds and this has to be up near the top for food quality and taste. The restaurant is also very well laid out and a nice atmosphere.

    Excellent food and the portion sizes are just right that you can choose 2 or 3 dishes plus a side and savour different tastes in a sitting. The Beef and Bone marrow was lovely. Would highly recommend

    First time visiting and will def go back to try more. Was advised to get a main dish and three smaller dishes as would be plenty for 2 people. It wasn’t enough. Maybe we should have ordered a side also. Will know for next time. X

    We had a wonderful experience—our waiter provided excellent service, the restaurant itself was beautiful, and the menu offered an impressive selection of dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed both the meat and vegetarian options and none of the vegetarians in our group felt limited by the choices. That said, the menu might be a bit more challenging for vegans. Thank you for helping make it a lovely celebration for my 30th birthday! The only downside was the entrance, which isn’t very accessible. Although there is a handrail, it's partially blocked by large plants, which made it difficult for my blind mother to navigate. It’s something to be mindful of for guests with mobility or visual impairments.
