About Us
Késarum (Kay-sir-rum; Sanskrit for saffron), is a multi-award-nominated modern dining experience showcasing authentic and creative plant-based Indian cuisine. Immerse yourself in an incredible dining experience, with a thoughtfully curated menu that changes regularly, showcasing only the freshest ingredients and exuberant flavours. Each plate is designed to stay true to tradition, but also create excitement on your taste buds, and celebrate the incredible culinary diversity of India.
Pan-Indian Cuisine Like Never Before
Exuberance. No other word can better encapsulate Indian civilisation and dési cultures. You can see this expressed in the clothing, the vibrancy of Indian festivals, and the sheer multiplicity of cooking styles. Késarum is inspired by two things: the incredible diversity of cuisines within India, and a passion to showcase this infinite knowledge that exists within the Indian subcontinent.
Join us for a culinary journey through the incredibly diverse cuisines of India, where every dish tells a story from a different region of the subcontinent. Our menu, which changes roughly every six months, highlights the essence of regional cuisines and celebrates the freshest and where possible, seasonal ingredients.
Fresh Ingredients, Seasonally Focussed
At our venue, we are passionate about bringing you the freshest, highest-quality ingredients; many of which are organic and seasonal. As an independent business, we’re committed to supporting local farmers and vendors as much as possible, ensuring that every bite bursts with flavour and reflects the best of our community.
Excellent wines
No meal is complete without a glass of wine or two. Which is why we carefully select premium wines so that they pair perfectly with our food. All our wines are vegan friendly, and mostly organic.
