Incredible - This the only place I've come across on the West Coast that boldly serves authentic food from Kerala. And yes I've been to Kathakali and Aahar and the other "fusion" places that are within a 200 mile radius. This place serves kappa and meen curry, Kerala parotta and beef curry, uppam and mutton stew. All staples that define food from Kerala. I was also very surprised that they had Suleimani tea. This is really simple yes but something I've not seen outside restaurants in Kerala or the Middle East. Went to their buffet on Sunday and tried every one of the items I mentioned above and more. Absolutely delicious and reminded me of food cooked at home in Kerala. If you are a Malayali you know what I'm talking about, this place is legit. Don't be fooled by the cramped parking lot and the location, what they serve inside more than makes up for that. read more

Awesome dish with full flavor. Great service as well. Beef ulrarth was excellent and very flavorful with a kick. Kerala parotta was okay. Chicken briyani was and has big chicken pieces. Overall great place to get a taste of Kerala. Pretty cheap as well. read more

Not upto the mark. Kerala dishes served doesn't give enough to go back again. Fish curry, meen mulakitath, Beef ularth, beef chilli all disappointed. Kerala porotta seemed premade. Only items that we felt good were Appam and kappa. We came all the way from Oregon and this was a huge disappointment. read more

We stopped in here for at late lunch and the food was so amazing! The dosa's were large and they were generous with the filling where many other places are not. The sambhar was incredible and my husband keeper stealing mine. We also had one of the beef curries which was so tender and flavorful. We will definitely come back next time we are in town. read more

I was excited to find the Kerala restaurant in Surrey. It's rare that we find authentic Kerala food in States. It's a small restaurant with around 40 people capacity. The interiors are done in a nice way to give the Kerala ambiance. Their menu has so authentic dishes. Since I was there in the afternoon, picked up the food as takeout instead of dining in. Picked up Prawns Biriyani, Kerala Parotta and beef ularthiyathu. While we waiting there ordered the fresh lime soda to beat the heat. Service was very good. Staffs were knowledgeable about the Kerala food even though they have no connection to Kerala. Very pleasant experience. Coming to the food, the prawns biryani was bang average. Lacked the flavor I was looking for - didn't feel it's authentic. The beef ularthiyathu was very good - spicy and flavors reminded me the authentic food. The parotta was good, but still felt that it was not freshly made. Wants to try more options when I go there next time. But the first experience was very average! read more

It's a great place for South Indian food and taste was authentic. In recent days the quality of the food is not like before. I feel they are not considering the concerns raised by the customer as a feed back for the food . read more

Food was fantastic and authentic. Must stop place for anyone who visits Surrey. Also ordered a lot of take out food to take back to Seattle.

Proper Kerala restaurant. Ordered in Malayalam and listened to Malayali music. Has puttu and kadla curry, Both were very good. Will return tomorrow. Worth a trip up from Seattle area where sadly there's only Kathakali which isn't very good. read more

They need alot of work to be in the lead. Maybe they are surviving on home delivery option as they donor have occupied seats all the time. No lunch hour rush or dinner delights. Specials are on some days. Gobhi manchurian is the only yummy dish on menu. Dosa is not as good as Mayuri's . Didnt get to eat all food on menu so cant suggest much. read more

My brother had dined at this place a number of times and raved about their food. Well, a few days ago, I was in Surrey and decided to try it out. The server was friendly and explained the menu patiently. We chose our meals and waited eagerly to be delighted! The Vadas were freshly fried, crispy on the outside and steaming hot. Accompanying chutneys were excellent and tasty. Our meal was Kerala Fried Fish, Kerala Prawn Curry, Rasam, Beef Ularthiyathu, Kerala Paratha (some dishes come with rice). Each item was authentic, flavourful and freshly made. This was by far one of the best dining experiences I have had, of Indian food, in a very long time. I have a hard time dining at ethnic restaurants that all taste the same "McDonald-ized" The owner/chef has got it right, portion size is just enough and priced economically. Many restaurants price higher but you get a bucket of curry or rice and EXACTLY the same amount of protein! Suggest you have an appy, main or 2, Kerala Paratha is a definite. We left with extra take out orders for my son, brother and for ourselves; in addition to what we couldn't finish! Had the Chicken Biryani I had brought home - great Kerala taste, which is different from other Biryani's - trust me I have made many types of biryani. This has flavours of Fennel Seeds, Pepper, Curry Leaves. Very different and flavourful.. So, for all the times I've been asked, "You're from India, which restaurant do you recommend" ...you have my answer! read more

Somewhat busy traffic at this time seated by the window. Intriguing wall murals and decorations inside the lobby. Ordered veggie pancake aka uthappam. For the price I think it's overpriced and not worth the value with the tiny portion of veggies in the pancake a single stack. Should order with another dish that is meaty or curry . This was very zesty and I needed three sauces to finish it. Going to need better recommendations from the server warning me that the all bread dominants entree would need balancing out with other flavors. Sometimes as consumers we don't want to analyze about our entree what will go good together as it is taxing mentally when we want to sit and relax and enjoy the dining experience. Service was minimal not many smiles or going above and beyond to ask how we were-we had two different servers who accommodated us apparently the first two females were thin skinned to handle my initial feedback and requests to improve my food experience. But thankfully a third server Kamal redeemed the experience by coming to ask how everything was and just humbly listened to all our feedback. Finished with mango ice cream and payasam or vermicelli noodle sweetened with syrup. read more

We went for a lunch on a Sunday afternoon around 2pm. Thali was over they said. They serve Thali only on weekends, I guess. and its over at 2pm. Thats not a good sign for any restaurant to start with. Because the restaurant was not crowded, and we were seated immediately. So, we ended up ordering from the menu. Kerala Chicken curry was a joke. Very watery Tomato gravy with chicken pieces floating with oil. Tasteless, bland and no were near Kerala dish. When they call them as Kerala Kitchen, they should atleast serve authentic kerala style Top notch chicken curry. That will be customers expectation. but it was a big disaster. Instead of appam they served Dosa. Batter was made for appam and the server was trying to convince us that IT is appam. We are from Kerala and all our life we eat appam. So be truthful to your customers please. Goat Biryani was made fresh and tasty and deserve Two stars. Cleanliness was bleh. Service was friendly. Please improve your quality and cleanliness If you want to be successful. read more

My Family & me went to Kerala Kitchen for the Onam Sadhya lunch on 20 th Aug 2023 & were totally disappointed. Though we are not from Kerala, we had heard a lot of Onam Sadhya lunch from our friends in all over the world & wanted to experience it . Sadly we were totally disappointed by the experience at Kerala Kitchen yesterday. This restaurant serves both Veg & Non Veg food normally . We are pure vegetarians . However since Onam Sadhya lunch was detailed to be a Full Veg Meal, we decided to try it. We expected a Banquet kind of food offerings with a variety of tasty dishes - since it was Onam Festival highlight. However what we got was an average tasteless South Indian Meal ! The dishes served were mediocre , tasteless , bland & lacked variety. There were no " starters" like vadai, bhajji, or pakoras etc -which is common with South Indian Meals. The vegetable dish -Cabbage was average in taste & the Sambar & Rasam were very watery & tasteless that we had add Salt to flavour it. The Signature Kerala Dish- Avial was a let down. It was dry (not moist) , lacked a lot of the traditional vegetables & seemed to suffer from reduced yoghurt content -thus making it a very tasteless dry dish. The Puran Poli sweet too was poorly prepared . Further the Rice used - Brown Mattar Rice was unusual to view & frankly not to our liking as we are used to Ponni & Basmati variety of Rice . The grains were large in size & weird when mixing with the dishes. Lastly the final ignominy was the lack of Yoghurt or Butter Milk - which is a mandatory part of all South Indian Meals. It seemed that the use of Dairy products -like Yoghurt, Buttermilk, Raita's etc was totally neglected by the restaurant in this lunch presentation -which ended "abruptly" after eating Rasam & Rice ! Furthermore the price of the meal did not justify the taste, quality, variety of the food served. It seemed whilst the event & lunch was hyped up in advance , the final product was a " Total Let down" ! The only " Silver Lining" was the Restaurant was neat & nice inside & the service good. We do not intend to return to this restaurant again for another meal. read more

KERALA KITCHEN (4.5/5) First let me give you a brief insight into Kerala food. Each and every dish is different and tastes different not like a vast majority of North Indian cooking where they use the same kind of masalas and marinades for several different kind of meat, fish or birds. A small example is the biriyani - North Indian biriyanis have the same taste for their mutton, beef, chicken or fish biriyani the only difference is the meat portion. But for South Indian cooking particularly Kerala the ingredients for any variety of biriyani say mutton, chicken, beef, egg, fish or quail is totally different and that stands out. Now coming to Kerala Kitchen in Surrey, BC, I found this place by chance by just typing in few select words for Kerala food. Been in BC, Canada for the past 15 years and this the first time this one popped up on my search. These are the food we ordered, just to have an idea of their expertise we ordered all different dishes and that too single serving sizes so that we can share and have a taste of all different items available. This was for a family of 4 plus our puppy (bones and cartilages) Kerala parthas (porotta) - really good Appam (kallappam) - really good Kappa & meenkurry (king fish) - excellent Chicken 65 - can be better Beef fry (beef ulathiyathu) - good but could be better Kerala Fish fry (king fish steak) - excellent Mutton biriyani - good Kerala special thattu dosa with beef curry - really good Kerala fried chicken - perfect Fish pepper fry - really good but confused on the name Mango lassi - really bad Sweet lassi - terrible To say the least they lived up to my expectations and better in almost all items. Excellent porotta and dosa, appam could be better. Fish curry with kappa was really tasty. Chicken 65 - could be better and dry. Beef fry could be bit more dry with more pepper in it. And they could also add kallushappu beef fry with coconut slices to the menu (that would be a super hit). Kerala Fish fry was super duper good. Mutton biriyani was good. Beef curry with thattu dosa was nice and close to perfect. Kerala Chicken Fry was top notch amazing. Fish pepper fry - supposed to be pepper fry but turned out to be with gravy- still that was really tasty. Mango lassi was a failure. Sweet lassi was a disaster. All in all I would give 4.5 / 5 Service was really good. Mask being mandatory the lady at the front desk was really courteous and requesting the customers to wear it. One thing I noticed while we were waiting for our takeout there was a female customer who came in with 2 of her friends around 5pm on November 21st, she turned out to be an arrogant person and was giving the front desk person attitude just because she asked her to wear the mask and sanitize her hands. People please give respect to Dr. Bonnie Henry's request and others who are trying to abide by it to make the world safer for everyone else. An excellent job KERALA KITCHEN for the food preparation and selecting good customer service staff. I would surely go back whenever possible. My only request is Learn to make lassi better. I would have given 5 star if the lassi was not an issue. An idea! take the lassi out of the menu and introduce the unique Kerala drink - sambharam (pacha moru) surely that would click. All the best. read more

New South Indian restaurant and only the second one to focus on Kerala style cuisine in BC aside from Kairali Village Restaurant. Wide selection of dishes to choose from including South Indian staples like dosas as well as some Indian style chinese food but to me the real highlight is the weekend special thali. Only issue I have with the thali is that they don't offer the option of getting parboiled brown rice instead of basmati rice but its not a dealbreaker at all for me. I've not been to any South Indian restaurant in BC that serves the sides that come with their thali such as avial and vanpayar thoran. read more

Beyond amazing and so so cheap. This place is definitely worth it. Here are more characters to make my limit.

My family and I were visiting Surrey and Vancouver area and decided to have Kerala food for Sunday lunch. Walked into the restaurant around 1 PM and it was practically empty. Only one other family having lunch there! Against my better judgement I decided to sit down and order as kids and wife were hungry and I really really wanted to try some malayalee food. I was so excited when they informed that on weekends they offer thali. We ordered two thalis. In my experience, ordering non-veg thali from other places, you get a bunch of curries (at least two or three non-veg curries), rice, pappadam etc. Here they asked me which non-veg curry I wanted. It was a surprise to me as I thought I would get more than one non-veg curry. Anyway I ordered goat and my wife ordered fish curry for her thali. In addition to thali we ordered porotta, chilli chicken and goat biriyani. Though there was only one person in the front house the service was good. Probably because there weren't anybody else at the place. Got the food relatively quickly. My thali came with goat curry, and 3 or 4 veg curries. There was one small piece of goat in my curry! One small.... tiny piece!! My wife had one small piece in her fish curry! There was a yellow mango curry that was so sweet at first I thought it was dessert. The other curries were not great but decent. Don't expect any refill of rice as they are trying to maximize their profit. Though the quantities were small Porotta was good so were the Chilli chicken and biriyani. At the end we paid $74 for this mediocre lunch experience. I'm being generous giving them 2 stars but won't be going back to this place again. read more

Everything was absolutely perfect!! The restaurant owner was so sweet and caring and also made sure we got best service. Definitely would come in future And the dosa was so delicious read more

Ordered from Skip the Dishes. FOOD - 2/10 - The fried rice was mushy and tasteless, the Manchurian was like cooked in ketchup and the quantity could fit in your palm. The fish seemed it was fried and then dipped in water But the best was the veg haka noodles, I specifically said MILD but they sent it spicy as hell and then you have to go through credit etc I wouldn't touch their food again read more

We really liked this place. We tried the fish fry, and we enjoyed it. The prawns were also very good. Overall, we though this restaurant was great. read more
