    Fantastic food and lovely staff but we had to wait quite a while to get anything and it didn't feel like anyone was managing our table as we had to stop someone in mid flow each time to order anything. Even paying at the end we had to look for someone to take our money! Will definitely go back and hope that the service has got more organised next time.

    Amazing food, every mouthful was delicious! We had a mix of plates and bowls all fantastic flavours and just the right amount. The ambience was relaxed, very busy when we got there so obviously a popular place for straight after work. Would definitely recommend you try Kerala Canteen if you love Southern Indian food or want to try something away from your average Indian.

    For a lovely setting we ( group of 6) we're very disappointed with the service and overall experience at the canteen. One of our party has a severe egg allergy, no-one was able to confirm safe items, the allergy board they had was incomplete and the actual menu showed some items as free from various ingredients yet reading the menu you could clearly see this was wrong. The staff we're clueless and wandered back and forth, the table next to us had been waiting over an hour. Even the drinks were poor, 2 lemonade's,2 coke's and 2 orange juice s our table had to send back 4 out of 6 drinks due to staff error or poor quality
    Kerala CanteenResponded 4 days ago

We take dietary requirements very seriously and regret any confusion caused.

    Incredible flavours and unique plates, lovely setting and it even smelled amazing. Had to ask for drink menus but apart from that it was perfect. Everything was well explained, it was hard to choose what to try.
