Udaya Kerala Restaurant - (Near Lewisham, South East)

5 /5 Pradeep Narumi: Came here for lunch to get away from the noisy daily lifestyle and have a lunch in peace. The ambience, food authenticity, service of staff is top notch. Being able to talk in Malayalam another level. Easily spent 2 hours enjoying food and nostalgic music.

5 /5 Grant Keir: We absolutely love this restaurant - the food is so authentic, the atmosphere, even including the music, was a delight. The food was perfectly cooked and we especially enjoyed the fish wrapped in banana leaf. Highly recommended.

5 /5 Taneesha Chawla: Excellent food! Very authentic and supremely tasty. It’s been consistently great every time I’ve visited. Loved the green pepper chicken and king prawn masala

4 /5 Raziman T.V.: Authentic, tasty food. As Keralites, it was nice to see authentic, local dish names and not be disappointed when the food comes. We had fish biryani in banana leaf, ghee roast and beef roast. Ghee roast and beef roast were very good and nostalgic. Definitely recommend! The biriyani was also of good quality, though not exactly the taste we were looking for (attributable to local differences). Price felt slightly on the high side, maybe because we got a surprise (the "daily special" biryani was more expensive than the regular menu version) - but perhaps par for the area. Place is clean and the ambience is fine too. Service was quite nice.

5 /5 Pedro Sousa: Tucked in the shadows, within the bustling heart of East Ham, I was introduced to this hidden gem by a Keralan workmate. This establishment came highly recommended and it certainly did not disappoint. We had quite the selection, and every dish was packed full of flavour and authentic Keralan goodness. The food had just the right amount of spice and the service was absolutely outstanding. 5s across the board. I will, Im sure, grow old reminiscing that squid dish (2nd picture) for decades to come. You have totally earned a new customer and I am beyond sold. The dessert was also amazing - apologies I could not resist the urge to dig in and snapping a photo totally eclipsed from my mind. The Kulfi Malai is to die for. Every workday (and weekends), I will be counting the seconds to revisit your wonderful establishment. Highly recommend!
