South Indian dining in the lineage of the Samoothiris of Kerala — the spice kings whose port fed the tables of two hemispheres.
Zamorin is the European name for Samoothiri — the dynasty that ruled Malabar for nearly seven centuries and made the ports of Kerala the crossroads of the ancient world. Ibn Batuta wrote of its harbour; Europe fought wars for its pepper.
Our kitchen is a tribute to that age of exchange — rooted in Kerala, curated for now, and served under one rule.

The Journey — Malabar × Britain
For four centuries Malabar pepper seasoned the British table. In 2018 the exchange came full circle — a South Indian kitchen setting its table on an English coast, then a Yorkshire valley.
Charred chicken, crisp mixed coconut salad, mango-tomato salsa.
Chef's counsel
Begin with the pappadums and pickles. End with kulfi. Argue about everything in between.
