Authentic South Indian food that is simple, delicious and extremely cheap for the quality. The decor is a little tired, but don’t worry about that, it’s the food that you come for. A very large party arrived after we’d started and they struggled to deal with the numbers with just one server in duty.Vegetarian options: As with all good Indian restaurants there was a great selection of vegetarian food that was clearly marked. Dishes were authentically vegetarian.

Based on reviews and recommendations had an evening meal of ghee dosa as well as idlis. Dosa is like a lentil and rice pancake- usually with spiced potato filling-I had mine without any filling.Idli is a steamed rice cake while vada is like a fried savoury lentil doughnut. At my request the chef made the dosa really crispy and kindly substituted an idli for a vada. All items were served piping hot, freshly made and authentic. Service and food were excellent and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. Highly recommend.

Avaid this place, this has been sold by previous owner, reheated frozen items served, food not fresh. Good thing was that the service offered.

Found this amazing little Kerala / South Indian restaurant in Grantham. The food is amazing and great service. Very friendly, helpful staff. The Dosa is really good.

Visited for a quick mid week dinner, Under new management, they are trialling new items like Appam, Kizhi Parotta etc..- Appam is a must try, pls serve it with a small cup of coconut milk the authentic way. Also pls serve it hot, mine was cold.- Chilli Paneer was more saucy, pls reduce the sauce, paneer tasted perfect.- Veg Kizhi Parotta was good, will be even better if you can mash the veggies in to a masala and add it to the Parotta.Overall, A nice little place, slightly cramped seating, rest rooms need attention, but the food was very good compared to our last visit.

Didn't love the food at all. Went to Leaf with the excitement of having good Indian food but it was a total flop.Staff don't hear the order properly and get the wrong order. The Naan breads were cold and the gravy was sweet.It was a pinch in our pocket with total disappointment.I would never recommend anybody to go to this restaurant.
I had an incredible dining experience at this South Indian restaurant The leaf! The flavors were a delightful journey through the rich and diverse culinary traditions of South India. Every dish was meticulously prepared, showcasing the chef's expertise and passion for authentic flavors. The dosas were perfectly crisp, and the sambar had a depth of taste that transported me to the streets of Chennai. The biryani was a true highlight, with fragrant spices blending harmoniously. Kudos to the talented chef for creating a memorable gastronomic adventure. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an authentic South Indian dining experience! #Foodie #SouthIndianCuisine #ChefAppreciation

Nice relaxing atmosphere and lovely food. Service was polite and quick however felt a little rushed as was offered the bill too quickly. Would recommend letting the customer ask for the bill when ready. Will visit again to try some of the different dishes they offer.

Leaf is a wonderful little South Indian restaurant in Grantham. I'd read the good reviews, so decided to give it a try. And I'm so glad I did. I decided to try a typical south Indian dish that you don't get in the typical North Indian (or Nepalese) restaurants. So I went for a Masala Dosa, which is like a giant pancake with potato & veg curry inside. This comes with a vegetable curry sauce and coconut chutney. It was AMAZING. I'm a carnivore, so was a bit hesitant that there wasn't meat involved, but what can I say? It was delicious. Give it a try. To top it off, the service was excellent too.
