Kalash Divine Indian sits at the bottom of Lord Street away from the milling crowds and hungry, sun-soaked tourists eager for quintessential English seaside fare.
Next door to the restaurant a café window boasts "traditional English breakfast" - a stark contrast to Kalash's small intricate menu. Familiar British Indian favourites chicken tikka masala and vindaloo are nowhere to be seen.
Instead, you will find dishes such as Barrah Champ, Malabari Prawn, and Palak Bhutta Khumb. Since 2019 Kalash, an intimate two-roomed restaurant, has been serving the people of Southport food from the Indian subcontinent unfamiliar with the majority of the British public.
