A Culinary Voyage to Kerala, Right in the Heart of Derby
When you step into Houseboat, you’re not just entering a restaurant; you’re embarking on a voyage. Our ambiance, inspired by the iconic houseboats that grace the tranquil backwaters of Kerala, sets the stage for an authentic and unforgettable dining experience. The gentle lighting, the warm hues, and the intricate details all contribute to creating a serene and inviting atmosphere, a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of Restaurants Derby City Centre.
But the true magic of Houseboat lies in our food. Our menu is a carefully crafted tapestry of traditional Kerala flavors, prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a passion for authenticity. From the fragrant spices that infuse our curries to the delicate sweetness of our desserts, every dish tells a story, a story of Kerala’s rich culinary legacy.
A Symphony of Spices: Exploring Our Signature Dishes
Let’s embark on a culinary exploration of some of our signature dishes. Our Beef Curry, a slow-cooked masterpiece, is a testament to the depth and complexity of Kerala cuisine. Tender pieces of beef are simmered in a rich, aromatic gravy, infused with a blend of spices that will tantalize your taste buds. For those seeking a lighter yet equally flavorful option, our Nadan Kozhi Curry is a must-try. This traditional chicken curry, prepared with coconut milk and a medley of spices, is a comforting and satisfying dish that will transport you straight to the heart of Kerala.
Seafood lovers will delight in our Meen Pollichathu, a dish where fish is marinated in a flavorful spice blend, wrapped in banana leaves, and grilled to perfection. The result is a succulent and aromatic dish that showcases the freshness of the seafood and the ingenuity of Kerala cooking. And for those who prefer vegetarian options, our Avial, a medley of seasonal vegetables cooked in coconut milk and tempered with curry leaves, is a delightful and healthy choice.
No Kerala meal is complete without Appam, a lacy, bowl-shaped pancake made from fermented rice batter, or Parotta, a flaky, layered flatbread. These accompaniments perfectly complement our curries and add another layer of texture and flavor to your dining experience.
Quench Your Thirst: A Journey Through Our Drinks Menu
At Houseboat, we believe that a well-curated drinks menu is essential to elevate the dining experience. Our drinks menu is a reflection of this philosophy, offering a diverse selection of beverages that complement the flavors of our cuisine.
For those seeking a taste of Kerala, we offer Kerala Toddy, a traditional mildly alcoholic beverage made from fermented coconut palm sap. This unique drink, with its slightly sweet and tangy flavor, is a refreshing and authentic way to experience the flavors of Kerala.
Our cocktails are crafted with creativity and flair, incorporating local ingredients and flavors. The Backwater Bliss, a refreshing concoction of vodka, Cointreau, mint leaves, cucumber, and lemon juice, is a perfect way to start your meal. For those seeking a spicier kick, the Spice Route Sizzle, a blend of spice-infused bourbon whiskey, vanilla, sugar, and aromatic bitters, is sure to ignite your senses.
Our mocktails are equally impressive, offering a refreshing and flavorful alternative for those who prefer non-alcoholic beverages. The Monsoon Mango Tango, a vibrant blend of mango juice, mint leaves, and green chilies, is a refreshing and invigorating drink that captures the essence of Kerala’s monsoon season.
A Sweet Ending: Indulge in Our Desserts and Beverages
To conclude your culinary journey, we offer a selection of traditional Kerala desserts, such as Payasam, a creamy rice pudding, and Unnakaya, a sweet banana fritter. These sweet treats, along with our selection of coffees and teas, provide the perfect ending to your meal.
Our Masala Tea, a fragrant blend of black tea, milk, and spices, is a must-try for tea lovers. And for coffee aficionados, our La Bamba, a spiced rum coffee finished with marshmallows, is a decadent and indulgent treat.
