The Viceroy in York

Excellent spicy Indian food, don't walk past (like we have done for years)! Dec 2024 update - Still great.

Absolutely superb food and really friendly restaurant. Would highly recommend.

Chicken tough - very disappointing

After being point blank refused by another restaurant because we had a guide dog we tried here and so glad we did the staff was great didn’t bat an eyelid about the dog and put us at a table where the guide dog had enough room to lay down the staff was welcoming and couldn’t help us enough the food was absolutely lovely and would definitely be our favourite pick to go for an Indian whenever we’re back in the area

Food was excellent and also the service was aseell

Incredible curry! so tasty, with quick and secure delivery from a nice polite driver. will definitely be order again!

Curry was watery meaning it was rushed, not ideal for the price

Delicious flavour good portions just a bit cold on delivery …

Delicious food delivered promptly as always.

Disappointing Experience at The Viceroy I visited The Viceroy recently with a friend and was left feeling quite disappointed by the experience. From the moment we sat down, the service felt indifferent. Not once were we asked if we were enjoying our meal or if everything was okay, which is something I'd expect at any restaurant, especially when it wasn’t particularly busy. I ordered the Murgi Masala and specifically requested it to be made mild, as stated when I ordered. Unfortunately, the waiter was less than accommodating, insisting it should be served medium hot "for the flavours." Despite my clear preference, the dish arrived as medium hot, and as a result, I could hardly eat it. Yet, when our plates were cleared, no one asked why I had left so much of the food untouched. On a positive note, we started with the pickle tray, which I enjoyed, and my friend found his Chicken Balti to be acceptable, but overall, the meal and service fell short of expectations. I had hoped for a more customer-focused experience, but sadly that wasn't the case.

Probably the best Indian in York! Excellent takeaway and also well worth a visit!

Friendly delivery driver, food was hot and delicious as always! Chicken tikka masala with plain rice and poppadoms is always 10 out of 10, my go to Indian atleast once a week.

Want an Indian can’t beat this place best in York

Delicious food and fantastic service

Great food, delivered promptly.

the courier was going to deliver to 26A the leyes osbaldwick.we live at 26 not 26A,which is on the other side of the road.we were made to think we were in the wrong when we told him.to be honest I was abit annoyed with the way he spoke to us.No problem with the meal.it was all very nice.Thankyou.

Waited 3 hours for delivery and after ringing the restaurant was told my meal had been ready for collection but no drivers had come for it from just eat. Disgusting service

6 of us tired up with no booking. Seated in the waiting area for around 10 minutes, where out drinks orders were taken. We were then seated, ordered and food arrived promptly. Really good Lamb Tharwa, plus garlic Naan. Not mind blowingly amazing food, but good and fairly cheap. Not my first time here, and certainly won't be the last.

Perfect as usual. Meal was hot and tasty

Great meal served by a friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Ordered food from Just Eat, arrived very very quickly, very hot and to die for delicious. This is the first time ive ever tried this restaurant, my parents love it and have eaten here many times but i decided to take the chance tonight and im so glad i did. The driver was lovely aswell. Will definitely be ordering from here again very soon. We ordered Chicken tikka masala (mine), Chicken pathia (my dads), naan breads, rice and poppadoms, not the cheapest restaurant around but definitely worth the increase in price and will happily continue to pay the prices as i think it may be one of the best indian places ive eaten in York.

Lovely delivery driver and absolutely gorgeous food. Will be ordering again very soon, the best curry i think ive ever had, cant say enough good things.

Best Indian in the city! Have been going for years and never had a bad experience.

Instantly greeted with rudeness. My girlfriend and I ran 10 minutes late due to traffic and when I said the name of the booking, the staff member looked at his watch in disgust and murmured something in an unnecessarily rude tone. Food was lovely but unfortunately it was let down by the staff. We felt rushed when ordering and weren’t feeling very welcome, also felt we were under constant surveillance as there was simply too much staff wandering around at once. We then witnessed a staff member talking to another member of staff about us and being rude and homophobic. Again, even though food was tasty, would not visit again due to the overall unwelcoming feeling and sheer rudeness and unfriendly behaviour.

Always great food! Wasn't deliverdd as hot this time, but usyally it's still piping hot.

Best and oldest Indian in York

So, we had a takeaway (deliveroo) gorgeous meals but the stand out was Fish Karachi (no doubt spelt wrong) and actually thought I had ordered Masala Fish..... Nope, Fish Karachi arrived.... Bloody beautiful, slight spicy kick but gorgeous what a happy error in our ordering... Highly recommend this dish and ps food hot when it arrived x

Lamb Bhuna was spot on, service was quick and great VFM

This restaurant will not guarantee gluten free We walked away they did not sell food to 4 people we went elsewhere were they did guarantee gluten free

Excellent food and very friendly staff.

Lovely main, though I wish the onion bhaji was slightly less heavy with flour, perhaps cooked more or made lighter somehow.

Great, place, fab food, loved it.

Delicious as always. No freebies yet though Parvin always gives us some sort of freebie just saying 😜

No excuses for the owner to park on the double yellow lines and across the cycle lane.

Always a great place to eat, reasonably priced and always a spot on curry!! I would highly recommend this local favourite to anyone fancying a spicy tea in York.

Viceroy!! One and only best Indian restaurant in York by a country mile !! Food great service great can’t fault it

Really good food. Consistently so.

Best Indian restaurant in York.

One of the best Indian restaurants in York 👌

Food was lovely until I bit down on a huge bone. It's actually hurt my tooth, I was not expecting bones in my food. Sorry, but had to mention, everything else was lovely.

Food absolutely spot on. Put a couple of requests in the box for delivery, Eg extra mint sauce, arrived with everything I had asked for, and quick delivery.

The food leaves much to be desired, including the staff

Lovely Indian restaurant. Fantastic food and great service. Perhaps a little on the pricey side, but, great quality.

Excellent meal had here on our holiday

Best Indians in York. Food and service first class, highly recommended by friends and colleagues. Very impressed with the variety of the menu. Definitely be back.

Good set of lads Rocky & Naz both been there donkey years ! Only thing that has changed is the price increases ! Also Mahmood has stop using his hair & beard colouring . Yes still Boys serving the Reqs & taking the usual sarcasim wiv a smile

Very tasty dishes and great fast friendly service despite being pretty busy. Recommended. Lovely Keema Sag Garlic!

These curries were not the nicest we’ve ever had. I wish I ordered from The Raj like normal. My ‘mild’ curry was very spicy and I usually get this curry from any Indian restaurant I go to so I know this is mild and I like it. The sauce for both curries were very watery. The popadoms were bland and didn’t come with the usual accompanying sauces and onions. I wish I never ordered from here and stuck to The Raj!!

Can’t comment on the food but the staff are very friendly and are very honest about their kitchen not being safe for people with allergies (better safe than sorry). Was part of a large group so they let me bring food in from elsewhere so I didn’t miss out. Even offered to warm it up for me. Food looked great and service was brilliant, plenty of staff on hand checking up on us offering drinks etc.

Order arrival time dropped a little, so early against initial estimate, which just means curry, quicker.

First time visit, first two courses came at break-neck speed, thought we were in a speed-eating competition. Mains was more relaxed.

The atmosphere was very lively, classy and great scenery. Staff were quick and efficient service.

Fantastic food, had a great time until the waiter farted in my friends face 😅

This is a fantastic Indian restaurant, the best in York by a clear margin. The food is very good and the menu is massive, so there is something for everyone. It is also very reasonably priced and service extremely prompt, including for larger parties. The staff are what makes this place; they are proactive and friendly, including having banter with the customers. You can see why they have so many regular customers. The only reason I gave it four instead of five stars is because the decor is a bit dated.

Probably the best Indian in York! Food was amazing and restaurant staff always friendly and helpful!

Food was well spiced and tasty.

The driver went to wrong location outside another building, claimed to have called me despite me receiving no calls, and was extremely rude at meeting up after I walked all the way to him, saying that he would have taken the food for himself if it was not Indian food

First time using viceroy after numerous people telling me they’re probably the best out of all the Indian restaurants in York. And they were right. Best jalfrezi I’ve had. It was also massive and had loads of chicken in it. Very flavourful and the best was perfect. Absolutely ordering from here again.

Good Indian food in great location

Came to visit my aunt , Absolutely amazing food , best I’ve had in a very long time , service impeccable and friendly , beautiful clean restaurant decor very nice . Will be back !!!

If you want a decent in Indian meal, go to Viceroy. If a group of 3 or more you should try the 'family' Naan!

Gorgeous food, piping hot. Always use The Viceroy.

Excellent food Excellent service.

It has been many years since I have been to eat here. Several people have recommended this Indian restaurant. It was absolutely superb. Great food and customer service. Highly recommended and will visit again soon.

Delicious food, lovely staff, great service very very quick. we had a fantastic time. thank you! Freddie

Claimed to have been delivered at 1900, turned up after 2220.

Waited over an hour and 15 for the food and when it arrived it was all stone cold

Was not happy .we got a take away lots of bits where missing from are order.we phoned and the response was .can you come to the restaurant. Um we just ordered cuz we didn't wanna go out. Its there mistake so why couldn't take come and drop the missing food off. I'd give a big 0 for customer service

as usual lovely food delivered nice and hot.Thankyou

We ordered dal and a paneer dish. Dal was decent and paneer was bad. It was too sweet for our taste.

I ordered two chicken kormas as a birthday treat for a friend and myself. The food was excellent, fresh and hot. Complete with a garlic naan it was delicious, thank you. l would definitely order from you again and perhaps be a little more adventurous next time.

Brilliant place go every time we visit york 👏 outstanding 💯%

Food was nice and hot and was enjoyed by all.

Excellent food and friendly efficient staff.

***** amazing food and super fast delivery

Order never arrived waited for over an hour to be told it was delivered it definitely wasn’t called the restaurant absolutely no help at all .

not completely cold but needed heating

Awful, awful quality! (Deliveroo) Made me ill. High reviews can’t be explained

Service was fantastic, lamb thawa was the nicest curry i have had for a long time, would definitely recommend!

Was tracking the driver and he took the longest route through the city centre imaginable when it was peek travel time to get to the address. The driver could have come a quicker way. Had to put all of it through the microwave as it was stone cold. Extremely disappointed with the outcome as it is usually very warm when arriving in the past.

Good as good as the restaurant

Terrible. You pay a premium for utter rushed rubbish. Never again. - We will stick with “The Raj” in future. These guys used to care about the quality of food. It would appear that they no longer care unless you’re eating inside the restaurant. 0 stars!

Oir favourite tale away from York, we had the usual Nawabikahna, it was devine, such a flavoursome well balanced curry The staff are always lovely.

Ordered a take-away through Just Eat that never arrived. The Viceroy manager was really helpful in updating me on my order, each time I called, that was ready and waiting collection for over 2 hours (It never did get collected)! So put in the order direct, at the advice of the manager (which was £8 cheaper than my original Just Eat order) they had it ready for me in 30 minutes and were really kind when I collected and showed me the Just Eat glitch on their end too. The food was also really good - so worth the wait and picking up myself! *I did eventually get a full refund from JustEat, but won't be using their service again!

very bad quality, lacks taste, not authentic

Arrived on time, was hot and very tasty

As usual,prompt delivery and lovely meal.I recommend anyone to try the viceroy.Best I've tried by far.

The ordering process was easy. The food was delivered near enough on time. All our food was delicious. We have been having food from The Viceroy for years. Both takeaway and eating at the restaurant and it is always excellent.

We order once a week from Viceroy...always hot & on time & great food...however, yesterday they delivered the wrong curry & was just too hot/ spicy for us to eat & ended up in the bin. They had sent a lamb curry instead of chicken...not sure what curry it was, but certainly not Rogan Josh! Just eat complaints is a nightmare...no refund as yet & also required photo's !!?. So had to take a picture of it in the bin! Ridiculous!! We tried to eat the chapatti & rice, but too contaminated by the hot curry. Waste of money & food!

The people are very friendly and professional

Great food, brilliant service. 2 nann breads was accidentally missed off, called the restaurant and they sent one of the in house staff round with them within 10 minutes so we could still enjoy the meal.we had ordered.

Restaurant very good but delivery very very poor. Orders shouldn’t be taken if drivers aren’t available

Very quick delivery.Meals were absolutely beautiful.And plenty of it.Highly recommended.

Placed order around 6:30. Food wasn't delivered until 8:50 after first delivery estimate was 7:05. Food is cold,

Ordered at 18.40 and didn’t get my order until 20.20 approx.

The meal was spoilt by late delivery time. After a tough week we thought we'd treat ourselves. The late delivery took the shine off.

Excellent food & service as usual.

There are about 4 or 5 Indians in York which are top drawer in my opinion. This is in the top 2. Can't credit it enough.

Amazing. Filling and full of flavour

Come for the diabolical service. stay for the diarrhoea.
