Koottaan Curry Club is a casual Indian restaurant on St Nicholas Street in Bristol's Old City. The small dining space focuses on the food of Kerala, serving people who want to eat in as well as those collecting a quick lunch or ordering at home.
Kerala breakfast dishes include idli with sambar, crisp vada and appam with spiced egg curry. Street snacks and lighter plates range from chicken, beef and vegetable cutlets to samosa chaat, papdi chaat and sweet plantain fritters layered with chutneys and yoghurt.
Curry boxes are built around home style chicken curry, slow cooked beef roast, egg curry, sambar, chickpea masala and paneer butter masala, accompanied by rice or bread. Lamb biryani and flaky porotta wraps provide heartier alternatives, with chicken, beef, egg and chickpea fillings available.
Signature porottacos fold Kerala flatbread around spiced curries and cucumber raita, bringing the menu's traditional flavours into an easy handheld form. Vegetarian dishes appear throughout the selection, making Koottaan useful for mixed groups seeking an informal South Indian meal.
