From cheap and cheerful Keralan dishes to ultra-healthy Ayurvedic cuisine and vegetarian delicacies, Charles Campion reveals where to sample South Indian food...

The Kerala
15 Great Castle Street, W1
This old-favourite is small, friendly, cheap, and family-run, serving South Indian food with an emphasis on Keralan dishes. It's implausibly close to Oxford Circus considering the reasonable prices,. £18pp ex-drinks. (020 7580 2125)

Rasa Maricham
Holiday Inn, 1 Kings Cross Road, WC1
This part of the famous Stoke Newington Rasa chain is hidden away in a rather soulless hotel setting. The South Indian vegetarian food sticks to ultra-healthy Ayurvedic principles. £18pp ex-drinks. (020 7833 9787)

Sagar
157 King Street, W6
Vegetarian delicacies from Southern India keep this Hammersmith cheapie packed full. Whether you fancy a "snack" like a masala dosa or something more complicated, the service remains genteel. £12pp ex-drinks. (020 8741 8563)
