Dedicated to Dubai’s Expat Kerala Community
Yes, Leeds — this one’s personal.
Kerala has travelled far beyond its shores. From Kochi to Kuwait, from Trivandrum to Dubai — our flavours move with our people. So this dessert is a tribute.
Introducing our Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake & Gulab Jamun, dedicated to Dubai’s vibrant expat Kerala community — and to anyone who understands the power of nostalgia on a plate.
Recently recognised as one of the Top 100 Recommended Restaurants 2025 by the British Indian Good Food Guide, Kerala Canteen continues to celebrate the global journey of South Indian cuisine. This dessert does exactly that.
🌴 What’s on the Plate?
This isn’t just cheesecake. And it’s definitely not just gulab jamun.
Here’s what comes together:
• Baked vanilla cheesecake
• Crushed pistachio
• Warm, syrup-soaked gulab jamun
• Crisp, golden kunafa
• Rich chocolate sauce
The textures matter. The warmth matters. The balance matters.
The cheesecake brings creaminess. The gulab jamun brings warmth. The kunafa adds crunch. Meanwhile, chocolate ties everything together.
Sweet — but layered. Indulgent — but balanced.
Why This Dessert Is Different
Dubai represents ambition, community, and flavour without limits. That’s exactly what this dessert reflects.
At Kerala Canteen — often described as one of the best South Indian restaurants in Leeds city centre — we don’t just serve food. We tell stories.
And this one?
This one tastes like home — even if home is thousands of miles away.
