About Us

Namaste! Elai Salisbury is a stunning riverside restaurant serving up authentic South Indian Food, tasty mains and creative cocktails. Our flavorful dishes will transport you straight to the heart of India. Come dine with us and experience a culinary journey like no other! Elai translates into English as "leaf". Since ages, it's a customary tradition of serving meal on banana plantain leaves. With the cornerstone concept in serving authentic Indian food, Elai has marked its successful first step at Basingstoke. The Basingstoke community will always occupy a special place in our heart for the consistent love we receive. The wholehearted acceptance of our guests and Indian food lovers had inspired us in taking a further step ahead, spreading the taste of India to Salisbury. Elai Salisbury introduces you to the diverse cuisines of Kerala that will tickle all your senses to feel the authenticity and fusion of God's own country at its best. Local recipes vary according to each region and community of Kerala, but the commonality reveals the secret of authentic taste. The secret being the liberal use of coconut, chilli and ground spices along with the local fresh produce. At Elai, we follow the tradition and serve Indian dishes with the authentic taste. Indian and Indo-Chinese cuisines are also specialized by our experienced and skilled chefs. As seasoned hospitality professionals (Nidhin & Unni), we have channelled our experience to create 'dining with a difference'. We also open from lunch until dusk falls offering both Indian and English delicacies, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Let Elai greet you all with a mouthful of memories and a dining experience with a difference!
