Two main ingredients infuse Jaimon Thomas' passion for the restaurant business. One is the desire to bring authentic South Indian food to a region overrun with mediocre, anglicized Indian restaurants. The other is to provide service using the principle laid out in the Sanskrit phrase 'adithi devo bhava' means 'Guest is God. ------ Tim Burke, Metro, December 10 2008

Kayal was, quite simply, a revelation. The food was exceptional, and the service was charming, informed and effi cient. Almost every dish here seems to contain an abundance of spces and it's the freshness and purity of these ingredients that creates such culinary heaven. The emphasis is on healthy food, with less reliance on oil, sugar, and artifi cial additives and more use of natural fl avourings. ------ David Sandhu, Metro, September 12, 2007
City enjoying an explosion of flavours from South Asian Cuisine. A string of new openings such as Kayal in Broad Street has made Nottingham even more of a haven for high quality South Asian dining. ------ Erik Petersen, 26th October 2007, Nottingham Evening Post
Housed in a pine-dominated dining room with steel lanterns hanging from the ceiling, this is surely the nearest you'll get to a Keralan beachside shack in deepest Nottingham. With a superb veggie selection, including thali-style set meals for less than ?10, you can't go wrong in terms of choice & value. ------ The Times, November 1- 7, 2008
We love Kayal! The Thomman's Hall is one of my personal favourites in terms of venues for comedy. It's beautifully decorated and has an intimacy which is so important for comedy. The reason why we love the place is because of the amazing food they serve. ------ Geoff Rowe, Director, Leicester Comedy Festival
It's the blast of friendly and inviting atmosphere that hits you as you open the door to Kayal that tells you this is going to be a good place in which to eat. Infact its more than good- its Excellent. I've tried hard to think if there were any negative to this meal and it's a struggle. ------ Alison Curtis- Leicester Mercury
