Kerala Zone Express

If there's a tastier starter than their Malabar Squid in London, I've yet to try it. Absolutely sensational!

Being away from kerala, I really miss my home food. But fortunately I came to visit this restaurant last week and it was fantastic. Absolutely superb. Tasty food, lovely environment, and excellent service. it's amazing to have such a great place to get perfectly spiced south Indian dishes in Greenwich.

You get great value for money. Definitely a restaurant for people who would like to enjoy kerala dishes.

I recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Give it a try!!! You wont go wrong..

I’ll be hitting there again very soon….

I have been regularly visiting this restaurant since I moved to the area about 11 months ago. This charming restaurant is a gourmet heaven for vegetarians. A huge selection of Keralan vegetarian dishes to choose from. The dishes are delicately spiced and beautifully flavoured. My personal favourite is Potato Bonda (starter) wonderfully presented on a very unusual plate as well as Keralan Cauliflower Chilly Fry (main course). My typical dinner bill would come to around £13.00 - £14.00. including a glass of wine. The prices are very reasonable. The service is friendly yet professional. I will bring my parents over for a dinner on their next visit to London.

I have eaten there 3 times.

Late 2006: One of my best ever Indian meals in London, only beaten by the Babur Brasserie. Excellent, with wonderful use of spices....

But the slowest service I have encountered in years. I think it took about 1 hour to get starters and over 2 hours to get main courses. By that time a couple of my party had given up and gone home hungry. The staff apologised profusedly and said the place was still very new and they would improve.

Early 2007. Food not quite as good as first time but still very good, well above average. Much improved service.

August 2007. Good service but just average food, not as good as several others in the Greenwich/Blackheath area. Several dishes seemed to taste just about the same, as if one standard sauce was being used. Disappointing.

The last few times I have gone past in the evening there were very few people in there. It showed such potential when it opened, and I hope it gets back to a consistent high standard.

It's hard to know what points to give it - some sort of average of my 3 visits.

This is one of the best South Indian restaurants in London. The food is exceptional. The sevice is first class. The ambiance and decor are comfortable and inviting. I had a great 3 course meal for under £15.00. By the way, the fish curry is out of this world!

Great ambience. Excellent waiting service but was extremely disappointed at the minute portions served. Come on, we know you need to make money but it doesn't cost that much more, to put some more grains of rice in the pot nor is it necessary to charge for every single condiment. First time ever that I have had to pay for poppadoms!! They normally come compliments of the restaurant. Needless to say, won't be wasting my money there again.

Got a recommendation from a friend and being local headed straight down there, especially as there was a rather nice 20% off deal at the time.

Fresh ingredients friendly staff, and some dishes that were out of the norm take me back fortnightly.

Two courses for two, several cups of tea and all under £25… bargain!
