At Ikkayees Restaurant in Liverpool, we believe every dish tells a story. Our mission is simple: India through flavors—showcasing the intricate tapestry of Indian culture via Indian cuisine, regional Indian dishes, and traditional Indian recipes. From the coastal kitchens of Kerala to your doorstep, our Kerala street food takeout and catering offer a culinary journey like no other.

Embracing Regional Indian Dishes

India’s culinary landscape is vast and varied. From tangy street-side bites to rich, aromatic curries, we spotlight regional Indian dishes that highlight local ingredients and time-honored techniques. Our Kerala street food menus are brimming with vibrant flavors: crispy banana fritters, peppery fish cutlets, and fragrant beef fry—all prepared with devotion and authenticity.

Culinary Storytelling at Its Best

Culinary storytelling is at the heart of what we do. Each plate carries a narrative of ancestral wisdom passed down through generations. The earthy notes of black pepper from the Western Ghats, the sweetness of coconut milk from backwater coasts, and the gentle warmth of indigenous spices all collaborate to form a story—your story—as you savor your meal.

Traditional Indian Recipes Reimagined

Our traditional Indian recipes are lovingly recreated with modern precision and unwavering respect for their origins. At Ikkayees, we use family recipes for dosa batters, fish curries, and spice blends. These dishes bring Kenyan‑Malayalee heritage alive, reflecting our deep connection to Indian culinary heritage while catering to contemporary tastes in Liverpool.

Flavors of India — A Feast for Every Palate

From vibrant street snacks to indulgent desserts, we celebrate the flavors of India in all their glory. Whether you crave sour, spicy, sweet, or smoky, our menu caters to every palate:

  • Tangy Sambhar: A staple from South India, perfect with rice or dosa.
  • Fiery Meen Manga: Kerala-style fish curry with tamarind.
  • Crispy Aloo Tikki: A North-Indian street snack with chaat spice.
  • Sweet Payasam: A comforting milky dessert infused with cardamom.

Food and Identity in India

Through our cooking, we explore food and identity in India—how dishes unite communities, celebrate harvests, honor festivals. At Ikkayees, we share this with Liverpool through vibrant takeout experiences and personal catering that bring people together. Birthday parties, corporate events, family dinners—each is a chance to share a slice of Indian life, narrated through taste.

Cultural History Through Food

Our dishes also reveal cultural history through food. Kerala’s cuisine has deep coastal and spice‑trade roots. Ingredients like coconut, mustard seeds, curry leaves, and black pepper each bear stories of migration, colonization, and cultural fusion. Ordering from Ikkayees lets you taste this history—each mouthful a delicious lesson in India’s past.

Indian Spices and Traditions

Indian spices and traditions are the secret to our rich kerala-style fare. We use local, whole spices—cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, mustard seeds—for depth and aroma. Our vegetarian fare also shines, honoring the region’s varied dietary customs. Every dish preserves the authentic spirit of Kerala’s kitchens with bold flavors and ethical sourcing.
