Located on London Road, Bhoomi Kitchen offers an authentic taste of Keralan cuisine, a world away from your typical curry house. This family-run restaurant, with a sibling venue in Cheltenham, has quickly made a name for itself in Oxford, even earning a coveted spot in the Michelin Guide – a first for an Indian restaurant in the city. The menu focuses on South Indian specialities, featuring traditional one-pot curries, fragrant biryanis, and expertly spiced barbecue dishes. You can expect judicious spicing and attractive presentation, whether you opt for a lunchtime thali or explore the more extensive evening set menus and banqueting options. With its welcoming, cosy atmosphere and an al-fresco dining terrace, it's a great choice for various occasions, from a casual lunch to a celebratory group dinner.
Step inside and discover dishes inspired by recipes from the small South Indian village of Kaliyar in Kerala, brought to the UK by the owner's grandfather. Popular choices include the creamy butter chicken, aromatic lamb or chicken biryani, and the Malabar parotta, a flaky, layered flatbread. The menu also boasts a variety of seafood options like barbecued prawns and the Cochin king prawn curry, alongside flavourful vegetarian dishes such as karahi paneer and baby eggplant curry. For those new to Keralan food, the Bhoomi Banquet offers a chance to sample a selection of classic dishes. Many diners praise the unique flavours and the freshness of the ingredients, with reviewers often highlighting the masala dosa and the tender Chettinad beef as standouts.
