Our Story

Kerala on a plate, Birmingham in our heart.

INJI brings the bold, aromatic flavours of Kerala's coastal kitchens to Sutton Coldfield. Every dish is a love letter to the backwaters, the spice markets and the home cooks who shaped our cuisine.

From banana-leaf feasts to fragrant coconut curries, we cook with the same care and pride you'd find in a Kerala family kitchen — just a little closer to home.

"We absolutely loved the experience"

We went as a group of 8 and ordered different varieties of dishes. Everyone loved the food — the restaurant was very accommodating of our group's spice preference. The filter coffee and old fashioned ginger were refreshing. The roast chicken and chicken mappas were so flavourful.
