Shilpa Indian Restaurant is a Kerala and South Indian restaurant at 206 King Street in Hammersmith. It has served the local community since 1996 with food shaped by the coastal landscape and regional traditions of Kerala. Experienced chefs use aromatic spices, coconut, curry leaves and fresh ingredients to create a menu suited to family meals, relaxed dinners and group celebrations.

The opening dishes move from soups such as peppery rasam to fried, grilled and tandoori specialities. Dosa, appam, idiyappam and Kerala parotta introduce several of the breads and fermented batters central to South Indian dining. They can be paired with chutney, sambar, vegetable stew or egg curry, allowing diners to explore contrasting textures and levels of spice.

Seafood reflects Kerala’s long coastline through fish curry, prawns and other dishes enriched with coconut, tamarind and carefully toasted spices. Malabar chicken curry provides a familiar poultry choice, while beef ularthiyathu slowly roasts beef with coconut slices and curry leaves. Lamb mappas combines meat with onion, tomato and coconut milk for a gentler but deeply savoury preparation.

Vegetarian diners can choose from lentils, chickpeas, spinach, vegetables and paneer prepared in a broad range of regional styles. Rice, biryani and fresh breads make it easy to share several curries across the table. Traditional desserts, Indian drinks, beer and wine complete the meal, while takeaway and catering extend Shilpa’s Kerala cooking beyond its welcoming Hammersmith dining room.

Address: 206 King Street, Hammersmith, London W6 0RA, United Kingdom
