Alleppey Restaurant

Alleppey brings the distinctive flavours of Kerala to Kingston Road in the Ewell stretch of Epsom — a cooking tradition markedly different from the North Indian and Bangladeshi mainstream. Named after the Kerala backwater city (now Alappuzha), the restaurant specialises in South Indian coastal cooking: meen polichathu (fish steamed in banana leaf), beef roast, king fish curry and poppadums made with homemade lemon chutney recur in reviewer highlights. One TripAdvisor visitor described the experience as 'almost like being back in Southern India', which is the clearest endorsement a Kerala specialist can receive. The menu is built around coconut-based gravies, tamarind, mustard seeds and curry leaves rather than the cream and tomato sauces of the North Indian tradition. Takeaway and dine-in available.
