Emotionally Exhausting and Deeply Disappointing Father's Day Experience We visited this restaurant on Father's Day as a large family group of 11 (2 grandparents, 6 adults, and 3 kids). The kids specifically wanted to go to an "adult restaurant" to treat everyone to a proper South Indian meal. Instead, the evening turned into an emotionally exhausting ordeal, leaving everyone starving and incredibly frustrated. Unacceptable Delays & Poor Service Seating: We arrived at 8:45 PM for a 9:00 PM booking, but we were not given our table until 10:00 PM. The wait was so excessive that two members of our party had to leave before we were even seated, as the kids had school the next day and one was in the middle of their exams. Ordering: We sat waiting until 10:20 PM before a waiter finally came over. When we gave our first order, he told us he had to "check with the kitchen." Kitchen Closing: At 10:40 PM—with zero food on our table—the waiter returned only to ask if we needed anything else because the kitchen was closing. If they could not handle our booking, they should not have taken us in. We could have easily gone to McDonald's or another fast-food place to ensure the kids were fed. Lackluster Ambiance The interiors are very poorly done. We were given a seat near a huge glass window that had absolutely no curtains, blinds, or any item to cover it, making for an uncomfortable dining environment. Extremely Poor Food & Presentation The very first plate of food did not arrive until 10:50 PM (over two hours after we arrived). To make matters worse, we were not even given plates to eat on. When the food did arrive, the quality and service were shocking: Bizarre Timing: Strangely, the curries were sent to the table first, and we had to wait another 15 minutes for the roti to arrive, meaning we couldn't even eat the curries while they were hot. Chilli Paneer: Completely tasteless. Starters: Served awkwardly on an unnecessarily massive plate. Chicken Kerala Gravy: Absolutely no taste. Kadai Chicken: Simply not good. Masala Tea: Watery and heavily disappointing. We were expecting a proper, authentic Indian-style tea. Final Verdict To have an entire family, from grandparents to young children, wait over two hours just to receive tasteless food, mismatched timings, and no plates is completely unacceptable. Avoid this restaurant if you value your time, money, and sanity. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Had a wonderful dining experience at Kalyani Restaurant in Croydon! The food we ordered was absolutely excellent, with a truly authentic Kerala taste that’s hard to find. There’s a great selection on the menu, offering plenty of delicious options to choose from. A special mention to Libisha and Neetu, who were incredibly courteous, professional, and friendly throughout our visit. Their warm service really enhanced the overall experience. The ambience is fantastic, with well-designed interiors that create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The restaurant is also in a nice location, and it’s very convenient that free parking is available from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Overall, definitely worth a visit—highly recommended! Looking forward to coming back again. See you soon! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £50–60

We visit Kalyani Restaurant once every week or two, and every visit has been a really good experience. The food is always super tasty, fresh, and hygienic. The staff are very polite, friendly, and welcoming, which makes us feel comfortable every time we come. The service is quick, the restaurant is clean, and the overall atmosphere is nice and family-friendly. Parking is also convenient, which makes visiting even easier and stress-free. You can really see the care they put into both the food and customer service. Definitely one of our favourite places to eat, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food and great hospitality.
