Malabar Fish Fry
Deep-fried fish coated in ground Kerala spices — not a sauce from a jar.
£7.50
Cooking from Kerala.
Dining in Bristol.
The food of India's south-west coast — dosa, appam, kothu roti and Malabar curries. Coated in Malabar spices, not a sauce from a jar.
Kerala is called God's Own Country — a green sliver of coast, backwater and spice garden where the curry leaf and black peppercorn grow. That is the kitchen Dev's cooks from, a short walk from your table in Bristol.

The Kitchen
Dev's Kerala cooks the food of India's south-west coast — where the curry leaf, the coconut and the black peppercorn grow, and where every dish tells you exactly where it comes from.
The kitchen leans on the things Kerala does best: appam and hoppers, kothu roti chopped to order, fish curry the colour of sunset, and dosa crisped on the griddle. Alongside them sit the tandoori and North Indian plates Bristol knows well.
It is a neighbourhood place, run by people who love feeding this city — coated in Malabar spices, never a sauce from a jar.
