Elai Restaurant

Found this place for my mum's birthday, really nice looking place. Decor is minimal and gives us nice Kerela vibes. Staff were very friendly and answered our questions and gave us suggestions. Food was really nice, enjoyed the Kerela Parotta, super flaky and nice really good with chicken curry and prawn one too. Chilli chicken starter was tasty, ordered chicken lollipop was slightly disappointed as it was not how they are usually done but still enjoyed it. Masala Dosa was good, not the best but we've been places who specialise so comparison isn't fair. Fried Pakora was really tasty with the Mint Sauce. Filter coffee is banging and a nice touch to end the meal. Enjoyed it and a nice experience would come back again.

Had a lovely meal here and decided to come back a couple of days later. Food was delicious both times - so flavoursome without being overpowering or excessively spicy and different menu options. Service was excellent with very friendly staff who welcomed us back like old friends on our second visit. Would highly recommend a visit here.

Absolutely the best ⭐️⭐️from the staff and their service to the food. I wouldn’t mind driving an hour again just to visit this gem. The flavours of the dishes were epic, and hands down, the best south indian filter coffee I’ve had at any Indian restaurant under the EU/UK umbrella!

This place was delicious. Never had samosa chat served the way they made it. Nice scenery to eat outside by the river and their service is great and professional.

Came here for a book club meeting, the food was amazing and they were able to make it more spicy or mild depending on wishes.they were very attentive to our table and it was easy to have a laugh. Really enjoyed it here definitely recommend especially for meet ups with friends or family :)

A great restaurant serving 'Indian style ' food with a twist. Some regular dishes but also lots of new tastes to try. We had the thali which was excellent. Staff were lovely. Thoroughly recommended

Best curry I've had in ages. A great range of Southern Indian food. It was really good to try something a bit different. The service was excellent. Most seats have a lovely view of the river and there some outside seating by the river too. We aren't from Salisbury but we'll be back for another curry soon.

Absolutely delicious dining experience. Had heard positive things and everything true! Beautiful atmosphere food perfectly cooked and nicely presented. The flavors and sizes spot on. Real authentic kochi food and and cocktails! Amazing service the guys are so friendly and welcoming will definitely come back for more! Been craving good home cooked Indian food and definitely found it, with such good pricing! Thank you!
