The Kayal Journey – A Vision of Authenticity & Passion
- Jaimon Thomas
Kayal was born from a deep passion for authentic South Indian cuisine, bringing the rich flavors, traditions, and hospitality of Kerala to the world. Established in 2004 in Leicester, UK, Kayal set itself apart with its commitment to traditional recipes, fresh ingredients, and an uncompromising dedication to quality.
From the very first restaurant, Kayal quickly became renowned for its unique seafood delicacies, crispy dosas, and aromatic spices, offering an experience unlike any other Indian restaurant. As demand for truly authentic South Indian cuisine grew, Kayal expanded to Nottingham, Leamington Spa, and West Byfleet, sharing its culinary heritage with a wider audience.
With success in the UK, Kayal’s journey extended beyond borders, establishing a presence in Australia, India, and now Ireland. Every location embodies the same warmth, authenticity, and excellence that define Kayal.
The journey continues with Kayal Ireland, where we invite you to immerse yourself in the true taste of Kerala. This vision, built on passion and authenticity, and made possible by the dedication of our talented chefs, the unwavering support of millions of customers, and the commitment of the entire Kayal family.
