The Bottom Line

Kerala Swad is a casual Kerala and Chinese restaurant in Al Qusais, with the strongest recent feedback centred on homestyle South Indian food. Diners specifically mention set dosa, chicken fry biryani, appam with stew and beef fry. It is worth considering if you want familiar Kerala cooking rather than a formal dining setting.

The restaurant also has a notable earlier identity: many older reviews describe the venue as Cravers Street, a small Goan street-food spot. Those customers praised Ros Omelette with Portuguese bread, chicken cafreal pav, beef croquettes, burgers and momos. If you are visiting mainly for Goan food, check the current menu first; a January 2026 review says there was no Goan menu at that time.

Service is often described as friendly, and home delivery has worked well for some regulars. The restaurant has also handled a biryani and snacks order for nearly 80 people, including tea delivered to Mamzar Park. Pricing is repeatedly described as moderate or affordable, though portion and food quality feedback is not completely consistent.

For dine-in, expect a modest space rather than a roomy restaurant. One customer reported flies, while another found the food spicy, so it is sensible to check hygiene conditions and spice levels before settling in.
