Vel Kitchen in Reading

It's our go to place for South Indian cousine in Reading. The quality of food has improved drastically from a few years back and kids enjoy the relaxing atmosphere there. I recommend Vel to others.

Food is 4/10. Service minus 10 out of 10. Moody, miserable, unwelcoming staff and service. Seriously, spend your money where you it's appreciated.

Food was amazing, went here for buffet. Limited items but everything was delicious. Couldn't have asked for more. Very good staff.Over all excellent experience.

unnecessarily delayed the food. I was the only one in the restaurant but it took almost 30 mins to get just Mendu Vada and that to be without the Sambhar.The staff is ok but could have been better with a smiling face.Vada quality - almost averageCoconut chutney was pathetic2 stars just because Tiffin Sambhar was OK

Good place for Tamil food lovers. Economical. They have buffet breakfast and lunch.

Wonderful food! Dosas looked and tasted brilliant. First time and already very good experience!

We took a buffet on Sunday. For 5 pounds it's the best you can get. It's south Indian Tamil style. The rice sambar rasam are decent even chapatis were good to my surprise. Curry's and dessert could be better. Buttermilk was the highlight.

This Indian restaurant is situated right across 'Reading Hindu Temple'.Ambiance is good also location is situated in prime corner.Food is delicious however litle over budget.Hospitality is also as good as food.I had sweet corn soup and veg Biryani, both are equally good.Will visit once again.Bon appétit!!!Cheers to life!!!

DisappointingThe food was sub standardStaff didn't bother to come to the tablePrawns was absolutely tasteless, blandFish chukka was served in many broken piecesFish fry was okMutton biryani was hopeless

Used to be one of the best places in Reading for Indian food! But when I went there recently, the food quality has drastically reduced! There had been a change in the chef and that’s clearly noticed in the food quality and taste. It used to be really good but now I don’t think I’ll be going there again any time soon for sure!
