At Kayal, we celebrate all things local.

Set close to the backwaters, the dining area encourages our guests to eat together. The open dining space sets the perfect mood and ambience for the traditional Kerala meals we serve here. While you enjoy your meal, you can watch the tides rise and fall, fishermen cast their nets, and life float by.

The culinary experience at Kayal is definitely one-of-a-kind.

Our food is a rich tribute to the local Kerala cuisine, and therefore uses plenty of fresh, local produce. For instance, we serve the Island's own organically grown Pokkali rice. Our menu includes the best of sea and river fish, caught off the banks of the island. You get to savour the best clams and crabs, prawns and pomfret. You can relish the traditional Kerala lunch comprising of dishes of varied tastes and colors, all served on a fresh banana leaf.

You could walk into our kitchen and get a quick lesson on your favourites. For those who love a tipple with their meal, we've got fresh toddy tapped from the island's palms.

While lunches are an elaborate affair, we also have Health Foods you can have after a session of Yoga. We create fresh concoctions from fruits and Ayurvedic plants including Aloe Vera shots, wheatgrass juice and a variety of sprout salads.

For those who love their tea, the Kayal Tea Ritual is a treat. You will be served hot tea, black or with milk, as per your choice, with piping hot local snacks.
