Bhoomi Kitchen Oxford – Kerala & South Indian Restaurant Oxford

About

Bhoomi Kitchen stands as Oxford’s first Indian restaurant to earn recognition in the prestigious Michelin Guide 2022, marking a significant achievement for the city’s culinary landscape. Located on London Road in Headington, this family-run establishment draws inspiration from the small South Indian village of Kaliyar in Kerala, where founder Appacha first discovered his passion for authentic cuisine over 50 years ago.

The restaurant specializes in traditional Kerala cuisine, featuring signature dishes from the southwestern state known for its distinctive use of coconut, curry leaves, and aromatic spices. The menu showcases authentic preparations including traditional one-pot curries, the famous Masala Dosa, and Kerala-style barbecue dishes prepared by expert chefs who maintain the integrity of traditional cooking methods. Each dish, from aromatic Malabar curries to tandoor-grilled specialties, reflects the restaurant’s commitment to authenticity and quality.

Grandson Michael has successfully brought his grandfather’s culinary legacy to Oxford, creating a dining experience that combines traditional South Indian hospitality with contemporary presentation. The restaurant features al-fresco dining on their terrace overlooking London Road, providing a comfortable setting for guests to enjoy Michelin-recognized cuisine. Bhoomi Kitchen has established itself as a destination for those seeking genuine Kerala flavors, offering both dine-in experiences and convenient click-and-collect services for customers who wish to enjoy their acclaimed dishes at home.
