A Family Story Behind the Cuisine
The journey of Kerala Kitchen began with Londoner Lewis Cummings, a newspaper man with a passion for South Indian food. After honing his culinary skills and witnessing food traders at a festival, he realized his dream of sharing Kerala’s flavors with others. He started by serving at festivals, gaining popularity for his coconut chicken and potato curries. In 2016, after establishing a strong market presence, he and his wife, Grainne, opened their first restaurant, marked by a cozy, earthy interior that reflects their family values and commitment to quality.
At Kerala Kitchen, we pride ourselves on our ethos of celebrating authentic South Indian cuisine. Our dishes are prepared to order, using no preservatives and nothing from a jar. We offer a variety of vegetarian and vegan options, ensuring that everyone can enjoy our food. We are committed to sustainability, using biodegradable packaging and striving for zero waste in our operations.
