Mr John's Real Kerala Kitchen - South Indian Restaurant

Kerala Fish Curry

Meen curry cooked in a clay pot with kodampuli and coconut milk — deeply sour, lightly spiced, and the kind of dish that defines the restaurant

Appam

Lacy, bowl-shaped rice pancakes with a soft, almost custardy center — the ideal vessel for soaking up coconut-based gravies

Kerala Parotta

Flaky, layered flatbread with a chewy pull — far superior to roti for pairing with beef or chicken curry

Beef Curry

Kerala Christian-style beef preparation — slow-cooked with whole spices and coconut, a rarity and a standout at this type of restaurant

Prawn Curry

Plump prawns in a deep red coconut-chili gravy that has the kind of layered heat that builds slowly

Puttu and Kadala Curry

Steamed rice cylinders with black chickpea curry — a classic Kerala breakfast combo that works as a light meal any time of day

Idiyappam

Delicate string hoppers made from rice flour — light and slightly chewy, best ordered alongside a rich curry to contrast the texture

Kerala Meals (Thali)

Full rice plate with sambar, rasam, pickles, papadum, and rotating sides — good value for a comprehensive taste of the kitchen
