Wow. Just wow.The service the food and the drinks all 10/10Service: We were welcomed with the utmost respect and hospitality. Greeted and seated in no time whatsoever.We were given a suitable time to choose drinks with no feeling of being rushed at all. Most high end restraunts want you to be in and out so the next customer can get in and be seated.As the food and drinks were brought over, any questions we had were answered correctly and with fun/witty comments to go aside with it. The overall experience was incredible.Drinks:Now as a high end bartender/cocktail makerim always quite critical about other establishments drinks. This menu however has no fault whatsoever. The drinks accompanying the food, and the combination of both was perfect. I say this and will say again this was mine and my partners best meal we've ever had.Food: Now honestly, I don't know what way I can describe this because there is no word for how good it was. All I can say is that even a non veggie ( like my partner ) would not even bat an eyelid to how amazing the food was. Regardless who you are. I know for a FACT that there is something for everyone.I wish I took more pictures but the food got all the attention, not the phone.I implor you to go.The experience is sublime.Thank you to everyone there.20/10

What a fabulous evening. Such dedication to fine Indian dining, the food we enjoyed was beautifully curated on the plate with such unique flavour profiling. Cocktails also worth a notable mention - well crafted and delicious. Well worth checking out for yourself.

Exceptional food but just let down in other areas.On a positive note, the food is unique full of flavour. It’s modern, fresh and seasonal. Hard to fault and if the review was for food alone this with be a 6 star review. Food prices fair for what is clearly a lot of effort to create. Dietary requirement’s excellently catered for.Regarding service, in my view having one front of house person is a mistake. I just felt it not relaxing to see someone so busy while I am meant to have a relaxing meal out. We were not ignored, and service was attentive but that extra pair of hands would give customers a better experience. You try to explain elements in each dish while new customers enter the restaurant and other customers want drinks and other customers wait for their starters to be cleared… etc etcAtmosphere was let down, the music was so sleepy my dinner companions nearly fell asleep waiting for the starters. The table was so sticky too… I mean really sticky! don’t think it was dirty, perhaps just needs a sanding down. Soap dispensers in toilets empty too.Drinks menu a bit odd and overpriced . £6 for a coke!I wish Kesarum nothing but success. Glad I visited but for me not a 5 star overall.

What an amazing experience! The food was fantastic and such a treat for the eyes as well as the palate. Every item was explained to us and it really was a night to remember.

Intimate small setting, on main High Street; a hidden gem. Took a while for food to arrive because we where a large party and staff of 3, but boy was it worth the wait!! The food fabulously plated. A feast for the eyes and the taste more than met the expectation and then some. The owner explained the taste notes and history of the dishes adding to the dining experience and it was a glorious experience!! Definitely will be returning. When dining out a luxury these days this restaurant was worth it’s weight in gold.

Lovely food and very different and unique. We really enjoyed it. To help the proprietor, we would only say to seat us closer to the window to help boost the ambience for passerbys.The jackfruit is incredible and I would definitely recommend any meat-eater to try this restaurant.A teeny little more time in between our courses and more alone time to decide a dessert would finish it off well.The mocktails are amazing! We went away thinking we could suggest to Kesarum that they make more on these as a bar (as well as restaurant) as it was one of the best mocktails I have ever tasted.

This place is incredible. The food was amazing and as meat eaters you’d never have known it was veggie, the flavours were phenomenal and the service was brilliant. They talked us through the menu and every dish and recommended and made cocktails off menu to suit our taste. Cannot recommend enough
