We booked for four people, we ordered a selection of starters. They were interesting. However we were not prepared for the amazing curry! We ordered three and shared them. The curries were incredible in flavour! So light and like no other I have had. All of us agreed they were fabulous! A great night, excellent service, friendly staff! Maybe we shouldn’t tell anyone….!

Only one negative (slightly) is that the tables close to the doors Carly a real draft (cold) every time the door opens which is very frequently, especially with the delivery guys standing in the doorway with the door open.

I’ve dined at Kayal a few times, and never been disappointed. The Southern Indian dishes provide something a little different and as usual the food was delicious and the service great. Altogether a pleasant experience with friends.

Good service, prompt - given we were a big group. Presentation of dishes was great, and tasted amazing. Only critique is that it is definitely on the pricier side - when other competitors charge slightly less for the same quality and experience.

We love Kayal!! The masala paper dosa is incredible for starters and then it gets even better from there! The fish curry, the appam, the special salad! And the staff can’t do enough for you. A fabulous place. Thanks, Kayal - you made our visit to Leicester again.

First time that I have been to Kayal in Leicester. Tried Kayal in Leamington recently and it was the best Indian food I have ever had. Kayal Leicester was every bit as good. Wonderfully flavoured and cooked food. Not too oily, not crazy spicy, just a perfect blend of flavours and textures and interestingly different dishes, not just run-of-the-mill Indian.

Lovely food when it arrives, but terribly long wait - over an hour - until main course served. Appetiser course did not arrive at all, but still shown on bill. They try to feed far too many people at pre rugby match times.

This is the second time that we have booked to eat at Kayal and on both occasions we had an excellent experience. The booking was simple , the staff were very professional, warm and friendly and the food is amazing . If you like a curry , especially fish or vegetarian this is a ‘must’ place to visit. Thank you Team Kayal, for such a lovely night 👍👍
