Located in the heart of Leeds city centre opposite the Conservatoire and next to the Leeds Playhouse, Kerala Canteen brings a modern, interactive twist to traditional South Indian dining. The interior artfully pairs elements of Japanese minimalism with modern Keralan vibes, featuring colourful terracotta walls, intricate stencilling, traditional woven mats, and beautiful foliage that evokes a sense of "Kerala under the moonlight". The atmosphere is vibrant, social, and easygoing, capturing the community-driven spirit of a traditional village toddy shop, the Keralan equivalent of a neighborhood pub. Guests are greeted with a warm, complimentary cup of spiced Sulaimani tea before diving into an accessible, Spanish-influenced tapas format where robust, aromatic small plates are served as soon as they are ready. Headed by MasterChef alumnus Bobby Geetha, the kitchen fuses imported coastal spices with fresh Yorkshire produce to create affordable, punchy masterpieces. Adding to the venue's allure is the intimate Kerala Canteen Bar tucked below, which leans into Leeds' nightlife scene with spice-infused heritage cocktails, craft beers, and a relaxed after-hours charm. It is a soulful city sanctuary that perfectly balances the creativity of fine dining with the lively, inclusive buzz of a casual hangout.

Liverpool
Great food, wine and service at all restaurants, not rushed. One of the greatest pleasures to eat, drink and converse with a good friend .
Glasgow
Fantastic day out in Glasgow on the Restaurant Tour. We had not expected the portions to be so generous, full size mains, and what a nice surprise for the matched wines to be equally generous, and in most cases of a very high quality! It was good to have the restaurants spaced out enough to walk off the meal before digging into the next one! And all the venues were beautifully appointed, the ambiance just perfect for not one but six meals fit for a couple of princesses!!
Customer
It was a great way to try out 6 different restaurants. Fantastic way to catch up with friends as no poring over menus and waiting for orders or the bill. The short walks in between each venue were welcome. I'd say we spent roughly an hour in each venue.
Nottingham
Concept is brilliant, allowing participants to visit 6 restaurants in the city. My friend and I attended and thoroughly enjoyed our home town Nottingham. The food was plentiful accompanied by a drink at each restaurant. Good value for money - recommend this to couples, families and friends. Make that special occasion more memorable. Our visit included Vi-Va, Delilah, Peter Pizzeria, Coco Tangs, Baresca and Bohens (in that order).
Birmingham
Can't wait to do this again! And will look out for ones in other cities. Such a great way to try new restaurants and explore the city.

Such an incredible concept. The best possible way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

6 very different restaurants which I probably would have walked past if it wasn’t for this experience. However now I will definitely want to go again. Great food, great drinks and great service. Totally enjoyable day out. Highly recommend.

My partner and I booked on to the Castle street restaurant tour in Liverpool and it was possibly our favourite date we have ever been on! It was well organised, good value for money and a great opportunity to try new restaurants around our city which we have since visited regularly. I would definitely like to try one of the other tours.

All enthusiastic entrepreneurs with a passion for wine and food! It's nice to give as a gift and it's really fun. The service at 1 restaurant was not quite great, so that was a bit of a shame, but the other 5 were perfect.
Customer
Really novel idea! Each restaurant was warm and welcoming. The chosen establishments were good quality and staff were really nice. The dish and the drinks were good quality and well thought out. A really fun afternoon and fantastic value.
