Tharavadu - Leeds

I’m a little perplexed by the apparent raving of Tharavadu, I expected really amazing things, the price point of dishes indicated confidence in the quality of food. The reality is that firstly service is really poor, after 15-20 mins of nobody coming to the table we had to do the awkward wave for attention. The quality of the food is good then menu reads really well, however, it certainly wasn’t the wow factor I expected. In fact no better or worse than many similar restaurants in the area with a far lower price point. Would I return, nup, I see no reason to. Disappointed would sum up my feelings

Good food, decent setting and excellent service Chilli paneer to start all good as was the masala dosa and accompanying chutneys. Goan fish curry and lamb for mains- full of flavour Rotis were fine The in house beer was light and crisp went well with the food. Service was on point and the atmosphere was lively, the place was packed Plenty more to try off the menu on a future visit...

This is a high quality restaurant...far above the standard Indian. It is genuinely authentic and uses quality ingredients only. Staff are attentive and friendly, and decor is original and adds to the whole experience. If you are a cricket fan there's some interesting cricket memorabilia of the Indian Cricket teams visits. Range of options are traditional vegetarian, plus some solid meat and fish dishes. It's worth a visit, even if it's a bit pricey as a nice quality treat.

Not bad food but bear in mind that this isn't your typical Anglo Bangladeshi Indian restaurant that offers a chicken madras (our mistake). A cultural experience nonetheless. Service was prompt and food arrived quickly.

Amazing food the service was excellent and cannot wait to go back once lockdown is over
