Famous for its vast expanse of greenery, long coastline with lush green coconut trees, and backwaters of sprinkling waters, this piece of the Indian Peninsula has become the one stop destination for all. Its location at the southern tip of India, nestled very close to the Malabar Coast, has attracted several explorers to Kerala.
One such explorer who is remembered in the cosy Fort Kochi area in Kerala is the Portuguese traveller Vasco Da Gama. Eventually, the arrival of the Dutch followed by the British brought in their cultural influences too. The distinctive confluence of Christian, Hindu and Muslim populations also contributes to the diversity in the culture, especially to Kerala cuisine.
Kerala cuisine offers a multitude of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes prepared using fish, poultry and red meat, with rice as a typical accompaniment. Rice, coconut and curry leaves are ubiquitous in almost every Keralite dish. Likewise, spices play a central role in Kerala cuisine. Ranging from small onions (shallots), red chillies, red chilli powder, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, garlic, coriander and cumin, these ingredients make the cuisine spicy, flavourful and lip-smacking.
Kerala cuisine is a rich blend of indigenous dishes and foreign dishes adapted to Kerala's tastes. Here at Kerala Restaurant, we work with a humble desire to offer a vibrant family dining destination, serving a variety of authentic dishes, especially light and simple curries from the land of spices, popularly known as "God's Own Country."
Started with this unique dream, Kerala Restaurant today offers delicious and authentic dishes that nourish the mind, soul and body. In West Edmonton, we are proudly located at 159 Street & 109 Avenue, where we serve some of the finest South Indian cuisine throughout the week.
Through this dining experience, we aim to introduce the authentic spices of Kerala that form the foundation of its cuisine and allow every dish to showcase its own distinctive flavour. With a promise to serve you in the most authentic way, we invite you to explore the delicious world of Kerala cuisine.
