House Boat

Standout dining destination, delivering exceptional, authentic Keralan and South Indian dishes.

The 60-seater interior is a riot of colour, dominated by massive, custom-painted murals created by London street artists. The walls blend Keralan tradition with local pride, showcasing elephants and tigers alongside the iconic Derby Ram and a vintage Rolls-Royce made in the city.

Dark wood furniture balances the brightness, while authentic anchor light pendants shipped directly from India hang from the ceiling. The tables feature playful little wooden houseboats to hold cutlery.

The rear features the restaurant’s ‘Black Pear‘ beer garden. Styled dedicated to Captain Jack Sparrow’s pirate ship, with repurposed wooden barrels as seating and a dedicated outdoor cocktail bar— warmer evenings.

The menu leans heavily on Keralan street food and coastal delicacies.

Recommended dishes: The House Boat Special Platter loaded with lentil fritters, spiced chicken bites, tender beef strips, shredded lamb, and succulent king prawns served with vibrant yogurt chutneys.  Doughnut starters paired with a Vegetarian Thali.  Meen Pollichathu—a beautifully grilled fish wrapped in a banana leaf that infuses it with deep, aromatic flavors, served alongside zesty lemon rice (Naranga Choru). Classic Gulab Jamun served with vanilla ice cream offers a sweet, satisfying finish to a heavily spiced meal.

A full feast for two consisting of poppadoms, multiple starters, mains, sides, desserts, and drinks will on;ly set you back around  £70. There are also highly popular daytime specials.
