Kerala Kitchen — Restaurant in Dublin

This was the first restaurant I visited for an outdoor setting. Originally being from kearla, I had high hopes for the quality of food and service.

Food: the food was absolutely brilliant. The taste of the Andhira Chicken, Lamb Biryani, Chicken 65 and Chicken Tikka were some of the delights I had with my family. I would definitely recommend the food if your looking for some great Indian food.

Service: the service was average. Upon arriving to Kearla Kitchen my family didn't get a warm welcome as you would expect. The hostess also didn't offer the complimentary starters and instead was priotised for other customers that came later than us. The hostess had checked up on the food multiple times which was a solid plus but the I genuinely didn't feel the spirit or joy feeling with them. I understand long days are difficult but from my customer perspective it wasn't great.

Pricing: the price is WAY TOO HIGH for the small portions you get. I'd wish they were very reasonable with the price but considering its Dublin City Centre its complete understandable. Even the small bottled water they were charging €5 for! Small glass of mango lass for €5. Small portion of Lamb Biryani was €18. The price and the portion do not suit!

If you are looking to visit this restaurant once as an experience then go ahead! I do recommend visiting it with such a nice outdoor atmosphere. The setting is quiet and blissful but all customers will have different...

We always order take away from this branch and love supporting a restaurant in our local proximity. We decided for my dad’s birthday, we would dine in for a change.

The food was 10/10, but what a huge let down the service was. The main course was brought out and we were told the rice is on its way. 5 minutes go by and no rice for any of us. My partner made eye contact with the waiter to ask where the rice is, and the waiter rushed back into the kitchen. Obviously after forgetting to bring it out. Our meals were lukewarm, at best, by the time the rice arrived at our table. My partner said to the waiter that our food was not warm now, and the waiter suggested he heat it up in the microwave…. We didn’t enjoy our meal as much as we should have, as the rice was piping hot and we had to let it cool down before eating, which meant our main was actually cold by the time we ate it. What a pity. We wouldn’t have cared waiting for the rice to be cooked, just don’t bring out the main meal without it! When we for the meal, there was very little said when we mentioned again about the rice and no...

WARNING* as we sat down here myself and my adult parents, we decided to get a bottle of wine, which cost €30 keep in mind the cost for later, as then we are ordering for food after we order 3 starters all at 9.50+ we were told all the food comes together* what restaurant that isn’t tapas doesn’t have a starter and main…. Okay moving on my father ordered his main and myself and my mother wanted to share a main then we’re told No each person must spend they’re own main each?? But says nowhere on their website or when you’re told when you’ve already received your drinks that’s extremely poor service on their part. On their menu it says €20 per diner as there’s 3 of us that’s €60 minimum we ordered €30 wine and then 3 starters at 9.50 each and 2 mains that’s more than €60. Honestly we’re the only Indian people in here and that’s saying somethings won’t be back they must advertise straight away at there’s a minimum order. We left after the wine and won’t be back. Poor quality photo but it says “please understand there is a €20 minimum Spend per diner” NOT EACH PERSON HAS...
