 Dine Online Restaurant review, England, London, South Inidan, Quilon, Victoria
A little off the beaten track although situated in the centre of town, The Quilon takes its name from what used to be the largest railway junction in times of British India: it's tucked away just off Victoria Street only a few minutes walk from Victoria Station.
For its main courses, The Quilon being a Southern Indian restaurant, specialises in fish and seafood.
Although at present The Quilon does not serve a menu enabling one to eat a variety of dishes like we did, I hope this may change, as it really is the best way to sample Executive Chef Aylur V. Sriram's fabulous cooking.

There was Quilon, in the province of Kerala, right down near the southernmost tip of India, just to the left, facing the Indian Ocean.
Its position is important, as the coastal cuisine of Kerala makes great use of fish, which has never been much of a feature in the more typical neighbourhood British Indian restaurants, which are mainly operated by Bangladeshis from the north of the sub-continent.
Quilon has taken over the former site of one of Dine Online's old favourites, the Auberge de Provence.
