A South Indian restaurant in Nottingham’s Hockley district, Kayal serves Kerala specialities including fragrant curries, fresh seafood, dosas and coconut-rich vegetarian dishes.
Located on Broad Street in Nottingham’s lively Hockley district, Kayal brings the distinctive flavours of Kerala, on India’s tropical south-west coast, to the heart of the city.
Specialising in traditional South Indian cuisine, the restaurant offers an alternative to the familiar British Indian curry house, with an emphasis on fragrant spices, coconut-rich sauces, fresh seafood and recipes rooted in Kerala’s culinary heritage.
The menu includes regional favourites such as freshly prepared dosas served with chutneys and sambar, richly spiced fish curries, tender chicken dishes and aromatic biryanis. Seafood is a particular highlight, with dishes such as Kerala fish curry, prawn masala and banana-leaf-wrapped fish showcasing the coastal influences that make this style of cooking distinctive.
Vegetarians are also well catered for, with an extensive selection of lentil, vegetable and coconut-based dishes. With its welcoming atmosphere and relaxed approach to dining, Kayal suits everything from a leisurely lunch to an evening meal with friends or family.
