Tharavadu

Leeds


This Michelin guide–recommended restaurant is the go-to for a classy South Indian meal in Leeds city centre, with a Keralan menu that’s heavy on fish curries and regional specialities such as whole crab and spiced king prawns. The restaurant is snug and packs diners in like sardines, which guarantees a lively atmosphere. Book in advance, especially on weekends.
