dinner

Little Kochi brings the sunlit flavours of Kerala to Roath, with a menu that leans into coconut, curry leaves, and warm spice. It's a love letter to South India’s coastline and tandoor traditions, where turmeric and ginger meet slow-cooked depth and bright, tangy finishes.

On the menu, vegetable cookery shines, from clay oven paneer with sweet peppers to creamy paneer butter masala and a lush Malabar veg kurma. The sea has its say too: Alleppey seabass curry folds coconut and mango into a silken sauce, while pan-seared kingfish arrives vivid with spice and tomato masala. Each plate feels poised between comfort and adventure.

To satisfy heartier appetites, Keralan roasted beef brings toasted spice and coconut richness, and a classic chicken curry offers a fragrant anchor. Dosas appear both as a glistening ghee roast and a crisp masala dosa, perfect alongside Kochi rice and warm naan.

And for those moments when only a feast will do, a Keralan biriyani with lamb or chicken, served with yoghurt, delivers aromas in every spoonful.

Whether seeking a gentle glide through coconut and cardamom or a lively kick of chilli and ginger, Little Kochi rewards diners and curious palates. Book a table, follow the spice trail to Roath, and let the coast of Kerala whisper in your ear!
