Kayal - Nottingham

Restaurant was in need of a refresh. Decor was delapidated. Staff, whilst pleasant were asking if you were ready for your main when you hadn't finished your starter. Food was ok but not the best. When paying for the bill a rack of spices were put on the table and we were asked if we wanted to buy! Also there was a man introducing himself to us as the resident magician and did we want to see some magic. I have never seen this option at an Indian restaurant before and whilst I'm sure he might have been good at his job, I don't think it fitted at all with what was supposed to be the "atmosphere"

Excellent food and excellent service! Will definitely visit again - thanks

Lovely food. The egg and fish fries are strong favourites!

We had a wonderful time. Everyone had a fantastic meal. We’ll definitely be back!

Really great food, I hadn’t had Kerulan food before and really enjoyed it. Me and the kids loved the motorcycle on the wall. Really attentive staff.

Good food and service. This restaurant never fails to delight.

Absolutely beautiful food. Such friendly staff we will definitely be back. I have to say the curry i had was the best I’ve ever tasted

My friend and I enjoyed thr vegetarian sadya, which has was delicious and served by friendly and helpful waiting staff.

Fantastic food and great service. I’ll definitely be going back.

We had been to the Kayal on previous occasions, were local that evening and thought we would return. Excellent service in a busy restaurant, didn’t feel rushed. Had the Tali dishes which were just as good as we remembered them. Everything including the wine was very good value for money. We won’t be waiting as long to return I am sure!

Lovely food and wonderful service and entertainment, would highly recommend.

Everything about our dining experience at Kayal was wonderful! Would most definitely recommend

Lovely experience, food delicious, welcoming team & delightful environment, fair prices too. Recommended.

The thali was really tasty. So much I couldn't finish it.

Incredible very tasty food, excellent service and attention from everyone. Would definitely return!

Absolutely fantastic food and really helpful and knowledgeable staff, pity not close to home

Lovely curry! Everything tasted amazing and the service was incredible!

Staff attentive and friendly We had lemon rice which didn't taste of lemon despite the description on the menu. A pancake filled with potatoes was not at all well seasoned and the dal was dull and tasteless. The chutneys were lacking in flavour too with the starter. The kulfi was not sweet and it didn't taste of pistachio. I may have chosen the wrong thing but unfortunately it left we disappointed. Made me feel id lost my taste buds.

Beautiful food and lovely waiting staff. My only comment is that I put on the notes when booking that my dad had a nut allergy. This wasn’t checked when we arrived and we ordered a portion of rice which didn’t mention nuts on the menu but when it arrived, after asking if there were nuts in anything, the waiter said there was in the rice. Happily replaced the portion but would have been great to check on the nut allergy before we ordered. Food was delicious and will definitely eat here again! Will just mention the allergy again from the outset next time

Lovely food and staff. Also a magician doing close up magic at the tables which was fab!

First visit and won’t be the last. Friendly welcome and the food was so tasty - large portions!

Attentive service, lovely food and a welcoming atmosphere. Would recommend.

Maybe review your vegetarian options - a limited choice and not appealing, whilst the table enjoyed theirs my veggie option was OK.

Amazing food, great gluten free & veggie selections, amazing service and excellent value for money.

Very nice, authentic, Indian food. Unexpectedly large portion sizes and great flavours

Great food, generous portions and friendly staff whose recommendations proved excellent. No wonder the place is full. Booking advised

Once again, tasty quality food and friendly attentive service. Thank you

Nice atmosphere and interesting menu options not seen at other Indian restaurants. Great service.

Great food and atmosphere, lovely restaurant. My dosa was enormous!

I was a sole diner in a busy restaurant, but was treated with great courtesy, and full attention. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

We had a lovely evening at Kayal celebrating a birthday! The staff were fantastic and the food was delicious. Thanks for a great experience!

Fabulous family meal out. Loved the Dosa. Friendly and great environment.

Had the salmon dish which was amazing last time but this time was full of bones.

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!

Excellent hosting, staff were very friendly and attentive, food was very tasty- big portions! And all the extra touches made it more of an experience

Everything was great. Such a lovely place and I appreciate adding Halal food to your menu.

We had the non-vegetarian Thali, which was huge and delicious. The service was excellent and we would definitely visit again.

Great flavours and generous portions. Interesting decor and friendly staff
