Kerala Canteen in Leeds is a love letter to the flavours and stories of southern India, with dishes that are rooted in Kerala’s rich coastal traditions. You'll notice that the menu is full of spice, spirit, and creativity, which is part of what keeps diners coming back for more. If you’re looking for somewhere special to enjoy a celebratory meal out, consider the colourful setting of Kerala Canteen, where you’ll find a dedicated private dining area ready to impress your guests. Leading the kitchen is chef Bobby Geetha, whose career has taken him from Michelin kitchens to MasterChef fame, and remains fond of the beautiful, sun-soaked shores of Kerala.
When it comes to private dining at Kerala Caneen, you'll find a designated space for you and your guests. The Tapas Style Private Room seats up to 25, with its terracotta walls, plush leather seating and dramatic foliage installation that hangs over you as you dine. Opt for a selection of small plates, bowls and sides, with biryanis designed for two, the perfect option for those looking for a private dinner packed full of dishes to share.
Small plates include the likes of crispy curry leaf calamari with curry mayonnaise, whilst bowl options come in the form of tender lamb slow-cooked with chickpeas in a masala sauce, and grain fed chicken curry. Making a meal of it are the delicious sides – like the delicate red rice string hoppers with a touch of coconut milk, refreshing blend of mixed berries and cool mint with yoghurt, and traditional Indian porotta bread for the perfect blend of crispiness and softness. Some of the delicious cocktails include a Cinnamon Berry Sour, reimagined Chutney Mary with coriander infused vodka, and creamy Pina Keralada.
