Kottaram Menu

Kottaram is a Pan Indian restaurant at 28 Maid Marian Way in Nottingham city centre. The dining room offers a full sit down restaurant experience rather than a narrow takeaway menu, with evening service through the week and longer opening at weekends. Its central position places it within easy walking distance of Nottingham Castle and Old Market Square.

The kitchen ranges across India instead of concentrating on a single region. A Kerala chicken curry uses coconut milk with an onion and tomato sauce, ginger, garlic and southern Indian spices, while karahi dishes bring a different balance of heat and savoury depth. Rice, breads and vegetable preparations allow diners to assemble a meal around several contrasting plates.

Starters and street food style choices are suited to sharing, including onion bhaji, chilli paneer, chilli chicken and chicken lollipop. Curry bowls served with rice and salad offer a more self contained option, while the wider selection includes meat, seafood and vegetarian dishes. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should ask the restaurant about the current recipe and preparation before ordering.

Kottaram works well for a relaxed dinner, a family meal or a group looking to explore several regional flavours together. The combination of small plates, curries and substantial mixed selections encourages a communal style of dining. Its broad menu and city centre setting make it a practical choice for both a planned evening out and an informal meal after visiting central Nottingham.

Address: 28 Maid Marian Way, Nottingham NG1 6GF, United Kingdom
