New stall at Newport Market serving Indian food with a twist

Keralan Karavan, based at Newport Market, offers a modern twist on Indian flavours including unique dishes like the Raj Burger, Doolally Dawg, and Disco Fries.

The stall is run by Krish, who was born in India and has lived in the UK with his British partner for more than two decades.

He has always enjoyed bringing the two different food cultures together, which is how Keralan Karavan was born.

Keralan Karavan's unique food has been applauded and awarded the Welsh Street Food Champions 2021, People's Choice Award 2021, and the Best Street Food Wales 2024.

The stall offers a variety of dishes with a British twist, including the Bombay Tikka Taco, the Raj Burger, the Doolally Dawg, and the Disco Fries.

Keralan Karavan offers a range of experiences from street food, music festivals, corporate events, kitchen takeovers, to a sit-down eight-course "Bollywood Supperclub" dinners.
