"Thattukada’s chicken 65 is Cheetos Flamin’ Hot-coloured, which is very much a compliment. The deep-fried chunks of chicken—marinated in dazzling red chilli powder, curry leaves, and more—are the way to start your meal at the popular Keralan spot in East Ham. The walls of this low-key, brightly lit restaurant are covered with images of palm trees and crystal blue water, but every group is focused on the food in front of them. Fish molley, a mild, coconut-heavy curry, is a delicious Keralan speciality that belongs on your table. Make sure you also get the vegetable thali, a brilliantly pungent chicken curry, and stringy parathas." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, sinead cranna
