Kalpakavadi brings heartfelt Kerala cooking to a former bookshop on Fossgate, where wood-slice mosaics and natural light create a relaxed, inviting setting.
The menu goes beyond the typical UK curry house, spotlighting Malabar Coast flavours through dishes like charcoal-grilled seabass nirachathu, thalassery kozhi curry, malabar fried prawns, and a range of dosas and vibrant vegetarian curries.
Uncommon highlights include tomato-tamarind rasam, battered aubergine (kathrika porichath), and rich crab curry.
A sister to Coconut Lagoon, Kalpakavadi takes its name from the coconut, a signature ingredient in much of its cooking.
