Honestly, not just the best vegan dinner I've had but the best Indian I've eaten. These guys clearly care a great a deal about what they do and I'd eat here again in a heartbeat. I'll certainly be telling all my friends and family!

Highly recommended by my colleague, we decided to book a dinner for two at Kesarum. Food and service were excellent. It doesn’t quite show from the outside, but the inside is inviting, stylish and comfortable. We booked for early evening. The restaurant was not busy and our orders arrived promptly. Great Masala chi and masala chai cocktail. Enjoyed our food, particularly our choice of appetiser. We will be back soon.

Fantastic birthday meal. We’re not vegan but wanted to try this restaurant and we weren’t disappointed. Flavours were incredible and food was presented well. The Old fashioned cocktail was delicious. Nice Jazz music in the background. The “bacon” nibbles were amazing… they need to be bagged up and given extra to take home. We loved how different and unusual the start up restaurant was.Only lost a star for unironed tablecloth, waiter seemed flustered now and again (he was on his own so we didn’t get upset by that) and no prosecco

Amazing food! With the best meat alternatives I have ever had! Especially the laal Maas!

As far as I know, one of only two vegan businesses in central Southampton. Great to see them supporting the local community with their offerings and great to see a business which actually cares about the animals and the planet, not *just* profit.In regards to the service - always a friendly welcome in there. The owner takes his time to explain dishes to you and nothing ever seems too much trouble.Food - incredible. The skills of the chef (s?) get better each time we've visited, as do the flavours.Can't wait for another visit.Thanks for feeding Southampton's vegans, Késarum ??

During the college I lived in Goa, I can say this is amongst best vindaloo I have had ever! The vegan pork belly vin dalhos is outstanding. It is just like eating the real pork. The sauce is perfect, authentic and spicy. And with proper Goa poee bread. I did no eating like this Indian food in years. Remind me of college days in Goa.Vegetarian options: Everything vegan

Absolutely the most delicious meal we have had in years! Wonderful atmosphere, with a very calm and beautiful flow of service. I cannot recommend anything as every single thing that we ate was amazing and so beautifully presented. For our starters, we had the bacon bites and the popped lotus seed. For our mains we had the Faux Pork Belly Vindhalo and the textures of cauliflower. The Sentia alcohol alternative drinks and the (G) old fashioned were also staggeringly delicious.We will be back!!Vegetarian options: Pure vegan menu absolutely safe all diets!

What a treat! Special night out with a friend. Atmosphere and service were excellent and the food was just divine. Fine dining Indian cuisine, presented beautifully and tasted sensational. The different elements of each dish paired so well and the wine really complimented the flavours as well. Excellent choice for vegans but also anyone who enjoys delicious, high quality, well presented food. This restaurant definitely won’t disappoint. Can’t wait to go back to try more dishes from their excellent menu.
Service was 10/10 however the food was 11/10. Best indian in Southampton!

Excellent dining experience this evening at Késarum. We’ve passed this restaurant on our travels locally and booked a table for two after the refurbishment for a late Valentine’s Day mealAbsolutely delicious food, would recommend to anyone. We enjoyed the lambiest non lamb dish I’ve ever tasted with a great wine paring.Will be back soon

Incredible.It's not often that reviews of places are on point, but the reviews for Késuram definitely are.The food, service & atmosphere were amazing. We will definitely be back!
Weronika Binkowska
The best dinning experience we’ve had in Southampton ever!It feels like a Michelin star restaurant considering the flavor parings, the presentation and the service!Absolutely phenomenal. Nothing like we’ve experienced before in this city. Especially with Indian food being such an accessible quick takeaway option, this is the best option to remind you what it should taste like and what real restaurant quality food experience should be like. This is the kind of place southampton has been missing. Definitely we’ll be back Couldn’t recommend enough!

Absolutely outstanding. Went for a meal for Valentines day and I can actually say that meal touched my soul. It was incredible, the flavours were out of this world. The staff professional, courteous and welcoming. One of the best meals I have ever eaten and looking forward to going back.
