The Pilgrim - Menu

Staff were very attentive, friendly and speedy. Food was disappointing. Everthing lacked any depth of flavour, was mild almost sweet and although looked good, just didn’t deliver. Obviously South Indian food isn’t for us. Unfortunately, we won’t be back.

Don't hesitate on this one, tried for the first time and the collective household review was wow. Great to have dishes that don't align to the norm on the curry front. Only option was takeaway, but lovely welcome from the staff. Definitely recommend, go off piste with your selection you won't be disappointed.

I wouldn’t even give it a 1 if there was an option for zero. This restaurant overcharged and denied it until I proved it, some dishes average, 1 very poor and inedible. Staff don’t wear face masks and vile attitude from the female front of house. Would think they would be grateful for the custom during these times, the reality is they don’t care at all. AVOID at all costs

Ordered a take away over the weekend. Such great food! Paneer butter masala and pepper chicken were my favourites!!! And the konchu prawns (battered . Ordered quite a few items from the menu and I was not dissatisfied with one dish. Family really enjoyed it too.This is completely different to your typical commercial curry like a tikka or a korma but I am converted 100%. I wish I took a picture to post... next time! Thank you :

I popped in for dinner last night, 23 March, the furnishings were basic, wood tables and chairs no table cloths, I was greeted by a very pleasant lady who took me to my table, I had a couple of spicy papadams with pickles, the pickles were very nice, to start I had onion pakoda for my main I had pepper chicken both dishes my very nice, the restaurant is situated on the Croydon Road very close to the train station and where the bus services terminate, it’s well worth a visit.

Food is lovely but the service from one individual is off putting, was rather rushed by a lady who is constantly on her mobile phone and when we went early at 5.00 pm, I asked for a window table had pre booked too) and was advised sit anywhere but they are booked up and need the table by 7.00pm; ok, so we left by 7.00 pm and it was empty just us and one other couple. Guys were lovely the other workers but she was very cold and abrupt and as I said on her mobile all the time; not a great advert for the restaurant; don't think I'll be coming back. Shame a food is amazing but lady let them down.

During lockdown, we have been supporting our local restaurants and takeaways by ordering takeout once a week. Yesterday evening, we ordered from The Kerala and were very impressed by the variety of dishes available and the high quality and deliciousness of all the food. We enjoyed dishes such as Kerala Lamb, Chana Masala, Chicken Calicut, and several tasty side dishes. Ordering and paying over the phone was easy, and the delivery arrived on time, left at the door by a person wearing gloves and a mask. We will definitely order from The Kerala again and are looking forward to when the restaurant reopens. Highly recommended!

Southern Indian cuisine not to be confused with other Indian dining take always.A lovely selection of starters specialist breads. Gluten free and vegetarian options.We have eaten at the restaurant but this month have opted for two takeouts.The first arrived some what let’s with a missing main meal: (But our second attempt was much better for my sons birthday. It arrived early and we were offered a special price to compensate for last order.I enjoyed the Kerala prawn curry the others all had chicken . Delicately fragrances rices to compliment plenty to go round with sides.Excellent value!The staff are all lovely including the delivery chap!No complaints this time:

I went there with my family. I have eaten Kerala food at different places. The atmosphere and food taste seemed okay. It was also served quickly. However, I had mentioned to the waiter that my elder daughter is allergic to milk/dairy, eggs and nuts. I asked at least 3 times that the items ordered for her, namely (kerala style) fish curry and (kerala style) chicken curry did not have any of these ingredients. I and my daughter have eaten these above dishes in other kerala restuarants near Croydon, Sutton etc. and know that these dishes generally do not have any of these above allergens. However, despite this I asked the waiter and he assured me that there is no such ingredient. Within about 1...
