Friendly, attentive, efficient service. Delicious food and drinks. Really enjoyed my salmon and the lemon rice went with it perfectly. Seating and amenities very comfortable, and I was pleased that they were able to accommodate my friend who is coeliac and needed a GF menu. Thank you!

A perfect lunchtime experience for our familly of 5. We eat from the 12-3 special offer business menu which was amazing value for money - with no dumbing down of the food quality or portion sizes. Great atmosphere and decor too, with super polite staff.

It’s wasn’t our fist visit to Kayal but this time it wasn’t quite as nice as the times before, it was very busy understandably for a Saturday evening, we were sat upstairs on a table for two that just happened to be on the way to the restroom so constant traffic passing by all evening, the waiter came to take our order he seemed distracted even talking us out of having a starter !!!! The food as very good but the service wasn’t quite up to scratch our food was practically thrown in the table !!!!

Amazing food and service. I have been in Nottingham for 5 years and I can’t believe I’ve only just come across Kayal. My partner and I went at a peak/busy time, but didn’t find the atmosphere overwhelming at all. Can’t recommend enough!

Still amazing Goan/S Indian cuisine. But perhaps a little more towards the centre of the market than on my last visit, pre-pandemic
