Fabulous food.Very authentic,and beautiful combinations of flavours.Would highly recommend this restaurant,and will be introducing all my friends to this taste experience.
Superb South Indian. Attention to detail, only authentic I have been to in D&G. They pay extra money to have ingredients shipped in.
Leaf is a wonderful little South Indian restaurant in Grantham. I'd read the good reviews, so decided to give it a try. And I'm so glad I did. I decided to try a typical south Indian dish that you don't get in the typical North Indian (or Nepalese) restaurants. So I went for a Masala Dosa, which is like a giant pancake with potato & veg curry inside. This comes with a vegetable curry sauce and coconut chutney. It was AMAZING. I'm a carnivore, so was a bit hesitant that there wasn't meat involved, but what can I say? It was delicious. Give it a try. To top it off, the service was excellent too.
Very quiet on a Thursday night. Lovely service from our host. Decent bottle. Merlot for reasonable price. Never eaten kerala food before. Found it beautifully cooked spices we're spot on. We shared squid to start, delicious. Partner had kerala chicken and I had the goat curry both were tasty. This place is well worth a visit. If I was local thus would be my go to curry house. Thank you for a lovely meal.
Had multiple satisfying experiences.
We had done both dine-in and take-away experiences in a row. Both the times, the quality of food reamined impeccable. The service and conduct of staff grab par excellent remarks from me and my family. The cuisine was both economical and extreamly delicious. The interiors of the hotel is designed in such way to reflect the cultural legacy of Grantham town. I affirmly reccomend this place for both take-way and dine-in.
Excellent as always - guaranteed great service and delicious authentic food from the South Indian state of Kerala (God's Own Country).
We visited after 1.5 years on a trip to Grantham, and this time we had Chicken 65, Kerala Beef curry, Kerala Porota, fluffy dosa with chutney, curd rice, and tea. Everything tasted fresh and yummy!
Would love to visit again whenever possible.
Celebrated a friend's birthday today at The Leaf and we have enjoyed every single dish. The seafood dishes were fresh and flavoursome. If you like Indian food and like something a bit different, this is definitely a place you'll need to try. Portion is good and price is very reasonable. Will definitely be visit again and take my friends to experience this hidden gem.
Fantastic and authentic Vegan masala dosa and chickpea curry. Only loses a star on atmosphere because it was early and I was eating alone for a while, but meant I had great service 👍🏻
Absolutely love this place, been going since it very first opened, fantastic food and service, real shame its never been very busy when we go, but we do eat early! Everyone we've recommended it too have also been very impressed!
Only downside - an inside loo would be great, but for anyone whose ever visited India, it just adds to the authentic experience 😄
Just to start off by saying, Indian food is not all about chicken tikka masala or meats drenched in oil/thick gravies. Indian cuisine is diverse and the country offers a large variety of dishes to suit all tastes!
The south tends to be associated with more vegetarian dishes and fewer oil drenched gravies/curries.
As someone of South Indian origin, I am always on the look out of our traditional cuisine and this restaurant certainly offers it.
The only downside is the slightly smaller takeaway portions of the meat dishes but otherwise I would certainly recommend the food here!
A lovely family run business serving authentic, beautiful and delicious Keralan cuisine. I absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and finger licking good Indian food. I will definitely return for more anytime when visiting Grantham! Their selection of vegan dishes was fantastic. Staff are beyond kind and friendly and well educated on vegan dishes!

Wonderfull food great menu with very helpful staff lots to try from kerela with plenty of old favourites for the not so brave give it a try you won't be disapointed
I tried the red rice and fish curry. Felt like eating my mom's food.
We were pleasently surprised to find this lovely restaurant open at lunchtime, we had biryani. The food was delicious, the staff were very polite and excellent service. The menu had lotts of quality dishes to choose from and for those wanting to know, they also have a Christmas menu and a Christmas day menu with more seating upstairs which can be space for special parties and bookings. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would rate the restaurant highly. Its great to know there's a restaurant to go to that serves indian food as an eat in restaurant for lunch time. Beautiful decor and a lovely restaurant. Thank you
Amazing food, we'll be sure to come back again.
Unique menu and very friendly service. If you looking for a change from the usual Indian cuisine try The Leaf on Westgate.
Having been to the UK since a year, this is the first restaurant from where we had authentic Kerala food and our heart and tummy was full. We thoroughly enjoyed the Kerala porotta which was freshly made in the kitchen along with Chicken 65, beef roast and fish and mango curry. Everything tasted so good and we definitely recommend a fellow Keralite to try out this place as you will not regret it. Will definitely pay multiple visits again. Thank you for the food and service❤️
I wish to thank everyone involved in the preparation and presentation of our meal on Monday evening. It was exceptional in every way and added so much to our enjoyment.
Please pass on my special thanks to all concerned.
We will certainly be coming again and we will have no hesitation in recommending you to all our friends
