Coconut Lagoon in York

Food and drinks were delicious, especially the freshly made Keralan lemonade. Service was very kind and attentive and even gave me some great tips for my upcoming trip to India! Thank you

Ate at the Coconut Lagoon last night. The service was impeccable and the food was fantastic. Every time we order from here or eat in the quality is always superb!

Had a lovely meal here on Wed 9th October. Went with 2 friends, we were not dissapointed! Food was lovely , service attentive and friendly. Will definately return!!

We visited 29 September as a group of four and were unanimous that it was one of the very best Indian meals any of us had ever had. The four different starters, four mains were all excellent. Not only was the quality great but the dishes were just a little different from the standard menu items - but without being too different. Add to this the great service, we will definitely be back.

Excellent South Indian restaurant off the beaten track. Super food, reasonable prices and really friendly staff. Will definitely return!

Legit superb delicious. BRING CASH FOR TIPS FOR THE WONDERFUL FRIENDLY STAFF!!

The best masala dosa! Delicious!

Delicious food, beautifully presented and friendly, welcoming staff. We’ve eaten here a few times and every time we’ve been really impressed.

Friendly service, tasty food, enjoyable experience. Thank you!

Nice veg curry and delicious chicken kadai. Very tasty! Good service.

If I could give this delightful restaurant more stars than the maximum I definitely would! The deceptive front of the building does not do the interior justice, inside is a warm, friendly, welcoming place. My wife and I visited based on previous Trip Advisor reviews, the menu is varied and very interesting, the food does not disappoint. What was interesting was that the other diners were talking to each other about their menu choices, everything sounded so good! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough and I would urge you to try it, you will not be disappointed. Well done to the lovely staff for a very enjoyable experience.

Authentic Kerala cuisine. Superb taste. We went two days here for dinner when we were in York. Really friendly staff with excellent service. Their Kappa and Naadan Fish curry is highly recommended.

We hadn’t been here for some time but the food was better than ever.fresh delicious South Indian food. We absolutely loved every dish.Staff are so lovely.Service is excellent and it’s all very good value for money.Definitely worth trying the Dosas and the king prawn curry was amazing.I had a specialty of theirs which was recommended but can’t remember the name,it came sizzling on a hot dish. All the accompaniments were excellent.Couldn’t fault a single thing.

I recently dined at Coconut Lagoon and was left deeply disappointed by the experience. The service was abysmal, with the restaurant staff behaving rudely and showing a complete lack of hospitality. It was surprising and disheartening, especially considering the expectations set by the hotel’s reputation. Despite the hotel’s claim to offer an authentic Indian experience, the reality was far from it. The atmosphere lacked the warmth and authenticity one would expect, and the food was equally disappointing. The vegetarian biryani, in particular, was a major letdown—bland and lacking any real flavor. Overall, my visit to Coconut Lagoon was far from enjoyable, and I would not recommend it to anyone seeking genuine Indian cuisine or good service.

Me and my friends recently dined at COCONUT LAGOON and it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. The service was painfully slow, with our orders taking way too long to arrive. When the food finally made its way to our table, it was far from what we expected—spicy food were sweet bland, and poorly presented . In our order biriyani was added but at the end we told them when we will get the biriyani the guy told i forgot to tell in kitchen and was missed later biriyani was served and it was totally sweet and after 3 to 5 spoon we let the whole biriyani .it was totally bad . The staff seemed overwhelmed and unfriendly, which only added to our frustration. I had high hopes for this place, but it unfortunately fell short on both food quality and service. I won't be returning or recommending it to anyone

My husband and I love this place, food is amazing & the owners are lovely & welcoming highly recommend

Excellent food very well cooked and fabulous service from staff. Thank you definitely recommend. Lovely to try different food from usual Indian menu.

Went last night with our daughter who lives in York. Friendly helpful staff and good food at a reasonable price can't ask for more. Will go again next time we are in York.

I can describe this restaurant in only 1 word. The best Indian food restaurant in York and probably one of the best ones in the whole of United Kingdom for sure as the taste of most of the dishes are very much similar to that what we miss being an Indian in UK.

We highly recommend this restaurant. We were visiting from the US and were excited to try dishes that were different from what's usually offered in Indian restaurants. Our waiter was very helpful in choosing dishes that were authentic and unusual. We had chicken, lamb and vegetable dishes. All very tasty. We loved everything.

Do not miss this restaurant in York: everything is excellent and the welcome is charming!

Best food and top service from the staff. Absolutely recommended. Authentic South Indian cuisine with excellent quality.

Excellent food and friendly service. Best Dosa ever! Highly recommend this restaurant which serves delicious authentic south Indian food

Great experience with lovely food. The young man serving us was incredibly helpful and encouraged us to try new food that we loved.

Brilliant food and amazing service from Josh, he was very polite and courteous. Helped make a great experience for me and my family.

I've been here before and it's always a good time especially this time it was just brilliant with our server josh's superb service and delicious food. Looking forward to our next visit.

Ordered food for take away. Came home to find that they forgot 1 item from my order. Biriyani also had green egg in it. Only giving 3 stars as they agreed to refund the full amount that was paid.

Excellent curries mostly from the south of India.

*****Horrible Experience***** I went for dinner with family and the waiter started teaching us, how to use a toilet.Just because someone soiled the toilet,he thinks its us.i will never recommend this restaurant to anyone again.There was element of racism in the behaviour of the waiter. #rudestaffs #Racism

Staff is extremely rude! Very bad behaviour!! We were insulted and told that we do not know how to use the toilet!! How can a restaurant staff say these kind of bad words to a customer!! Unbelievable!!! 😡😡😡

What a great night out with the lads the good was superb

Really enjoyed my meal, my dosa was the best I've ever had. Slow but friendly and warm service.

Good, flavourful, rich, quality food. Collection was also quick and easy

Highly recommendable authentic restaurant

Excellent Kersala Lamb Curry. On the spicy side for some, but very flavorful.

Food was good and ready for pickup but Just eat don’t have enough drivers to deliver

Superb food presented beautifully let down by service. Requested a jug of water twice which we never received. Took 90 minutes to have a starter and before main course arrived.

Poorly trained staffs and zero manners

Excellent quality food, eat here regularly visiting again very soon...

We loved the food so much when we ate there last night that we went back tonight

We looked on line while in york 13 /4/24 Saturday staying at the minster hotel and the coconut lagoon came up with good reviews so we gave it a try as it was only 10 minutes walk away. The first thing is the really friendly staff very warm and welcoming 🙏 and how nice the restaurant was and clean 👌 then the starters were wonderful and very tasty. The main. Was delicious and a taste me or my partner had not experienced before very different but extremely tasty I've got to say 😋 so please on my recommendation give this gem a try it is wonderful 😊.and the staff really nice .. 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love the variety of South Indian food that the restaurant offers. The quality of the food is amazing!! A must try place in the town if your are visiting here:) the service was very professional and the staff is very welcoming and friendly!!

Exceptional South Indian food. One of the best restaurants for Indian!

Delicious! Such generous portions in the non-veg thali. Excellent samosa.

Service was very slow and there was one waiter who was rude .

Decent place lovely Restaurant food was good. This isn't your typical Indian restaurant or takeaway with stuff like Madras/Tikka Masala it focuses on Gourmet South Indian food and these Restaurants are few and far between. Good Unique place which stands out from the usual typical Indian Restaurants.

This was a poor show from start to finish. Food was mushy and overcooked as it had been sat for OVER AN HOUR waiting for a Just Eat driver to pick it up. The app told me that the driver was collecting the food for around 70 mins and we eventually received the food more than 2 hours after ordering.

Great food, really interesting different dishes. Lovely staff. Had a great time.

What a gorgeous meal. This is the second time my husband and I have eaten here and it is even better this time - which we didn’t think was possible. Perfect, friendly service. The food is to absolutely die for. We were spoiled for choice as the menu has so many beautiful options. I highly recommend the lamb byriani as well as the Chicken 65 starter!

wrong item delivered. received one chicken curry instead of beef

4/2/24. Seriously some of the worst ambience, service and food had in such a long time. Truly terrible. It’s competitive out there. Lot to get right

Came here on a quiet weekday for a catch up with my friend. Was served and looked after by Joshua Before coming I made a online reservation and put in the notes we wanted the crab curry... And I'm so glad I did... I believe they took the time to take the meat out of the crab and out it back in its shell and placing the curry sauce over the curry... This was exceptionally very good and highly recommend. This reminded me of my travels and the indian crab curry i always have in Malaysia . Another highlight was finally getting a proper paratha (aka Roti's in Malaysia ) so many times I've been to restaurants and never gave me a proper paratha... Well they serve them here and they are very well made... Flaky chewy and the right crisp to softness... Teamed exceptionally well with the crab curry. We requested the Thali with no lamb - mo problem at all. Ot was replaced with another chicken curry... Every component of the Thali was tasty and generous huge chunky meat and prawns... At least two pieces of meat in each little dish. Not knowing how big the portions was we also had a meat platter and a chicken masala dosa... Dosa was generously filled...Too generous... But this does reflect in the price compared to other places I have had them at. Meat platter was a crispy beef, great texture...But a little tough. Chicken 65...Very juicy and flavoursome.... And another chicken in a spicy sauce...All very tasty but would be perfect with more salad on plate 😉 Overall a very relaxing evening, great food and great service from Joshua who took time to talk to us. Oh oh oh did I mention the mango lasso is also a very big jug!!! Definitely coming back...But next time I'll make sure not to order so much as the portions are big from Coconut Lagoon

On a windy Sunday night we found ourselves at Coconut Lagoon and what a treat it was! Some of the most flavourful Southern Indian food we’ve ever tasted and the most amazing service from the lovely Joshua. A true gem of a restaurant!

Fantastic food, super service, perfect pricing! Genuinely faultless dining experience - amazing flavours and fine dining presentation made our table for 6 experience one to remember. There’s a magician or two in that kitchen. Real vegetarian options, new and varied meat and fish dishes and a decent bar all contributed to an excellent evening improved further by knowledgeable and attentive staff. Ignore the outside of the premises (which does it no favours) - the inside is classy, grown up, spacious and welcoming. Worth the 10 minute walk from the York city centre. If you think you tried them all this is a big step up from the usual. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back with others to spread the word!

Tasty food. Friendly and accommodating staffs. Stylish interior. Plenty of street parking in the surrounding neighbourhood.

Food was good, interesting selection of dishes. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Had a great meal here! Lovely staff and lovely food, the parathas were especially beautiful.

I will not be ordering from here again my food was stolen from the delivery driver and put down it was delivered i complained they said you need to take this up with just eat they just really didnt care and were very reluctent to report this to the police why for reasons are beyond me

Just had another authentic Indian meal here this evening & as usual it didn't disappoint ! Having been to India many times, I know authentic food & eating food here is like eating in India, service is great, even the dodgy restaurant door reminded me of India !

Before travelling to Sri Lanka we decided to visit Coconut Lagoon that specialises in southern Indian food. Amazingly hidden on a busy street in York, we found the friendliest waiter, Joshua, and tasted delicious and authentic food.

Easily one of the best curries I’ve ever had! All three of us were raving about the delicious meal we had here well into the evening. Everything was perfect - from the starters to the rice to the breads to the curries themselves. The seafood platter, the Alleppey king prawn curry, the mutton Uluva Kootu curry and the Kerala lamb curry were each truly outstanding in their own right - I’d order each of these dishes again in a heartbeat. What’s more, the staff here are really lovely and attentive, and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed. We’re already planning our next visit! Thank you :)

Awesome food, like the atmosphere and services. Really enjoy the food.

We visited on a Saturday evening with young family. It was lovely not to be in busy central York. The waiters/owner we're very friendly and helpful. They explained which dishes were not too spicy for our 5 year old. The food was very well presented and delicious. The devil's chicken tasted amazing and the chicken tikka masala and lamb Biryani were the best we've ever tasted.

Food was amazing . Ordered a delivery which arrived 45 mins after expected time...would have been good if the restaurant could have messaged to let us know when it would arrive.

Visited this restaurant on an evening when I was in York. Very nice service with convenient location. Many thanks

Delicious fresh food - we were a group of 9 and all ordered something different and all had a taste of everything and it was all delicious The staff are cheerful and helpful - nothing too much trouble Will definitely revisit.

Lovely place with an excellent menu, plenty of vegetarian options and variety of breads. Highly recommended

I guess there are three basic elements to a good meal out, the food, the service and the price, it’s top marks for all of those, amazing food, beautifully served by an attentive waiter and for the cost of something far more ordinary.

Excellent service. Delicious food.

It was really a nice experience. We liked the atmosphere and the food over there. Albin was really nice and his suggestion was so good. The biryani was fabulous that made me remind of my days in India. Thank you coconut lagoon for this wonderful experience.

I had a great experience at coconut lagoon. There quality of food and authentic South Indian cuisine was very overwhelming. Each dish reminds me about my old days in kerala. Albin helped us in selecting the dishes and his suggestion was fabulous. Thank you coconut lagoon for this wonderful experience

9 of us went here for a meal out together. The staff were friendly and helpful. We all had varying tastes and the waiters were both able to make suggestions to help us choose - especially with levels of spiciness. The food was all wonderful. I had a mixed dish with different curries to taste. Everything I looked at was obviously being enjoyed by all my friends too. There was no pressure to finish and leave so we sat and chatted for quite a while. We all wanted to pay separately and that was done at the table, very easily. We all gasped when one lady paid with her watch but the waiter was completely happy. We would go again!

Not what you'd expect, food-wise ...but a very pleasant surprise!

Lovely experience! The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu, and helped us with vegan options. Most vegetarian items can be made vegan, and if you ask for assistance you’re in safe hands. They even made sure we had a coconut sauce instead of raita without us asking! Lovely food; lovely atmosphere.

We had the best experience and brilliant customer service along with an amazing food 5 stars 🌟 from us

Back after few months, the food tastes even better and the place looks nice and well presented.

The food is exceptional, very delicious. Great staff, very helpful. Can’t wait to go again!

I didn't revived my order in my hand..its showing received in the app. Where is my order?

Service tonight was 10/10, amazing. Fantastic food as always. Will be back again. We live nearby, and always bring friends here when they come to visit York. Highly recommend to everyone- we are all vegetarians and there were a ton of great options for us, but tons of great options for meat eaters too. thanks again!!

Very good service, food lovely although the masala dosa didn't feel like it was straight from the pan so very slightly rubbery

Easily the best Keralan or South Indian restaurant I have ever been to in the UK! Excellent main dishes, including some that were new to me such as Puttu and Kadala Curry, alongside the more familiar offerings like dosas and vada. The pooris (light oven-baked breads) are heavenly!

We ordered four different starters and four different main courses. Each one of them was really well presented and delicious. We would certainly recommend this restaurant. The staff are very helpful and will advise you as to what goes together with what.

Disappointing delivery: tasty food but late and too cold. The chefs were let down by the delivery team who failed to use the correct address or dropped pin provided through the website which meant the food arrived 45 minutes after the end of the expected delivery window. The lamb korma turned out to be the spiciest dish of the order thanks to the generous helping of finger chillis added on top!

We are from Devon so South Indian food is a rarity for us. The masala bonda to start were lovely. Great sambar, and overall very tasty and filling. If you like South Indian or want something different to the average this is the place. Good friendly service and good value.

Truly delicious, fragrant, quality south Indian food. Friendly service too. Will go again for sure.

We come here a often and always mean to leave a review but keep forgetting, went this week and was as good as ever, genuinely delicious South Indian food, the depth and difference of flavour across each dish is superb. The service is always top notch, Albin is a hard working delight and always pleased to see us, and us him! We are always looked after so well and have tried almost everything on the menu but always start with a Dosa (and usually end up taking the rest of the very generous portions home with us!) Thanks as always and see you again soon! Max and Daisy

My partner and I visited York last week , this was our first visit to coconut lagoon. From the outside it is somewhat uninspiring and not overly inviting and we only went due to our guest house recommendation. However on entering we found the restaurant to be very clean,warm & inviting. One negative was on ordering the poppadom and pickle tray , if you increase and buy more poppadoms your 3 small pickle bowls are not increased in volume so thing's get sparce and dry. That said all the rest positive , lovely food , we were guided by a friendly young man who guided us through the menu and helped us not to over order. The food was excellent , very well presented, very tasty and definitely return.

Fabulous food really helpful staff amazing

Fab early supper before theatre. Food and service was excellent. Will be back. Cauliflower starter was excellent and poppadoms come with excellent dips and crispy onions on top.

Fabulous tasty food presented beautifully amazing helpful staff clean lovely restaurant Would eat there again and again 😀

I am not sure as I have never been in

We had a fantastic meal in this restaurant . Two of our party are vegan and we had no problem finding lots of vegan options. The menu was slightly different to the usual Indian and gave us a chance to try new dishes. Would particularly recommend the Kathrika Peralan an aubergine dish wish was full of flavour. It was very reasonably priced and the service was excellent.

Having passed this restaurant many times since it opened I decided to try it out. And am I glad we did. The food is excellent, some dishes not to be found in a more mainstream Indian restaurant. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. One of the best in York, it won't be long before we return.

Very nice food! Salmon Moilee was beautiful!

We visited for a meal with friends and family. The staff were very friendly and helpful and friendly. The food is not what I would call a traditional Indian restaurant but the food ws delicious and made a nice change.

Excellent food and service. Brilliant as always. Not had a bad meal here and remains a family favourite.

Really nice meal, would definitely recommend if you are in York. Service really good, nothing too much.

The food was excellent and i am Happy to rate 5+ for the food and service. Albin the manager was great, he is the best in what he dose. We tried Kappa and fish Curry which made us feel like home. The biriyani, Porota chicken...

Name is so awesome! Coconut Lagoon! Imagine that, a lagoon full to the brim of coconuts hahaha! I would swim around with the coconuts and maybe fly! Yep, i would fly around like a bird, around coconut lagoon.

Authentic kerala cuisine 🥰. Had a great experience with my family. I am really glad to see many English people enjoying kerala food🤗 Highly recommended! Good service as well 👍
