Taste of Kerala - (Near Croydon, london)

Nina Morrison I had my birthday lunch in this awesome restaurant. I celebrated with a couple of friends. Our overall experience was great! Food was delicious, fresh and nicely presented. Oysters were my #1. Judy, our waitress was absolutely amazing! She gave us a brief, but essential description of all dishes and really looked after us properly. We surely will be visiting Fern shortly!

Gabriela Tanase Wow!! My second time here and I absolutely love the food and the lovely staff. I travelled 40 mins and I am not disappointed at all. Food fresh and cooked properly , we even got a free cake. We spent £30 for 2 large meals with rice , plantain and coleslaw , a large side of fried fish , 2 dumplings and drinks. All this for £30 and cooked perfectly in 2025 ?? You won’t find a better place than here. You definitely need to come here!! We couldn’t even wait to get home we ate in the car right in front of the shop lol.

Celeste Kriel This was a nice surprise!! My friend and I went for Sunday lunch here and it was gorgeous!! The whole house is incredible with everything still in place which makes it such a great old English Tudor style house. I can’t wait to go back!

Early Attoh I had genuinely excellent service from Pati today. She was attentive and present throughout, and what stood out most was her initiative — she proactively noticed a delay with my meal and addressed it without me needing to ask. I tried the new Cranberry Katsu, and Pati checked in at the right moment, asked for thoughtful feedback, and made sure it was passed on to the kitchen. She struck the perfect balance between being available and unobtrusive. This was one of those experiences where the service clearly elevated the meal. Pati is a real asset to the team. 5/5 service, no notes.

Joshua Kanyemba Really great and generous portion to take away. First time dining here and I’m not disappointed. Service is great and the variety and taste of their platters is fantastic. Just the mulva pudding appears to sell out too soon… the Chef needs to make a plan to evenly spread them out. South African flavours are well reflected in their dishes… I would recommend any one, and family needing a sit down with food to visit this place! Susan our host has been a great waitress on our special evening… special thanks to her!

tina Oren Absolutely fantastic experience at Mahala. The service was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from start to finish. The food was delicious, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. You can really tell care and quality go into every dish. The atmosphere was lovely and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning!
