Awards & Recognition
A neighbourhood restaurant with a fine-dining heart
Koyal is selected in the MICHELIN Guide 2026
Koyal is one of the restaurants selected in the MICHELIN Guide 2026, the Guide that has celebrated the culinary arts for over a century. Its Inspectors dine anonymously, and selection means they consider a restaurant worth seeking out - a proud milestone for a neighbourhood dining room on Brighton Road.
The restaurant now has its own page on the MICHELIN Guide platforms, where you can read the Inspectors' write-up in full.
