Trissur Pooram Authentic Indian Kitchen in Leeds

Located on the Kirkstall Street, we parked on the adjacent street. The eating area is decent size but a bit cluttered on the day, perhaps because of some renovation work. The menu has a very good spread of authentic cuisine from the southern Indian state of Kerala. After we booked the table, they had contacted us via WhatsApp to pre-order to cater to the big number, which we found helpful. The staff were friendly but the service could be better - but it may have been because we were a big group of 15. The food was very good (5🌟) and authentic with decent vegetarian options, too. Overall, we enjoyed the dining experience.

If You’re Looking for a Masterclass in Mismanagement – This is the Place Terrible Customer Service – Not Worth the Hype Honestly, if you're ever in the mood to waste your time, money, and patience all in one go, this South Indian restaurant is the perfect destination. The customer service here is so shockingly bad, it almost feels intentional—like they’re doing a social experiment to see how much disrespect a paying customer can tolerate. The guy at the counter? Absolute gem. Rude, dismissive, and clearly annoyed by the very existence of customers. Once he has your money, don’t expect a shred of basic courtesy. I guess the concept of manners didn’t make it into their training manual—assuming there was one in the first place. And it’s not just me. While I was waiting (and waiting... and waiting...), two other customers were literally arguing with the receptionist. Seems like the only thing being served consistently here is frustration. Speaking of waiting, I ordered a single biryani as a takeaway while I was dining in. Want to guess how long it took? 1.5 HOURS. At this point, I could’ve driven to another city, had dinner, and come back—and still been faster. If you want to eat this food for dinner, better place your order during breakfast. Or better yet, the day before. Or even better—don’t place it at all. Now let’s talk about the food. After all that drama, you'd hope it would be worth it, right? Nope. The taste is average at best, definitely not on par with other Indian restaurants around. But here’s the catch: they charge premium prices for this subpar experience. Maybe that’s the real menu item—overpriced disappointment. And if you’re thinking about cancelling due to the absurd delay, don’t bother. They’ll tell you flat-out no refunds. Because clearly, the policy here is: "You paid? Too bad. Now wait in line and enjoy the chaos." I’m actually writing this review while still standing in the queue, regretting every second of stepping foot into this place. If they keep running the business like this, I doubt they’ll be around for long—and honestly, that might be a blessing for everyone. Avoid this place unless you're in the mood for a truly forgettable experience.

Best dosa in Leeds! We have tried dosas everywhere in Leeds and we felt this place served the most authentic dosas, and the chutneys and sambhar and aloo masala were all really delicious. Service was a bit slow even though it was mostly empty, but then everything was made from scratch. The decor was a bit tired with boxes, etc lying around. It could really do with a tidier and more welcoming interior. But we will definitely go back for more dasas.

Really delicious food and great atmosphere. I really liked that they make everything from scratch and fresh ingredients. It creates an authentic experience and it’s sooooo worth the price.

The restaurant is a family business and serves an authentic experience thats very unique and is one of the best South Indian restaurants.

my new favourite indian restaurant, the food was so full of flavour and filling. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to have truly authentic indian dishes

The worst experience ever! The food tasted absolutely terrible. I would not recommend this place at all! Tl

I recently visited Thrissur Pooram in Leeds, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The food was overpriced, and the taste did not live up to expectations. For the price, I expected better quality and flavor. Additionally, the cleanliness of the toilets was not up to standard, which was quite off-putting. Overall,

Compared to other South Indian restaurants this one is very very expensive

We visited this place twice. This is one of the few places who don’t shy away from serving the authentic Malayali food which is something unique here. Their service is also good reminding of the family run restaurants back home. We tried their uzhunnu vada, kallumakkaya fry, gopi manchurian, kottayam fish curry and beef dry fry. I had also tried their kizhi parotta as a delivery once. 4 stars only because I wish beef dry fry was a sauted little more. I wish the team all the very best.

Thanku so much Thrissur pooram we really enjoyed it so delicious 😋 😍

Trissur pooram thank you we really enjoy the food

I recently ordered in Deliverloo and was thoroughly impressed! The pothichoru and Kizhi biryani was bursting with flavor . The portions were generous, leaving me feeling happily satisfied. Overall, the experience was excellent value for money. I highly recommend checking this place out!First, the Fish Molly. Oh, the Fish Molly! It was a symphony of delicate flavours. The fish, perfectly cooked and flaky, swam in a creamy coconut milk gravy that was both rich and subtly spiced. The gentle warmth of ginger and green chillies peeked through, creating a comforting and utterly delicious experience. It wasn't overly fiery, allowing the natural sweetness of the coconut and the freshness of the fish to shine. It was the kind of dish that warms you from the inside out, a true taste of Kerala comfort food. Then, the Aadu Varattu. This dish was a revelation. The slow-cooked mutton was tender, almost melting in my mouth. The rich, dark masala was complex and deeply satisfying, with hints of roasted spices and a subtle tang that kept me coming back for more. It wasn't just spicy; it was layered with flavour, showcasing the skill and dedication of the chefs. The mutton was cooked to perfection, absorbing all the aromatic goodness of the masala. It was a hearty and robust dish that left me completely satisfied. Both dishes were clearly prepared with fresh ingredients and a genuine passion for Kerala cuisine. Even as a takeaway, the quality and flavour were exceptional. The portions were generous, and the packaging kept everything hot and intact.

“Chattichor was absolutely amazing!

Poor service and food wasn’t that great to be honest for the price range.

Authentic Kerala Cuisine – A Must-Visit! The food was incredibly authentic, from the fluffy appam and Fish curry to the Nadan pori pori chicken. Warm hospitality, great ambiance, and perfectly balanced spices. Highly recommended for an unforgettable dining experience.

My colleague highly recommended this place, saying they serve very tasty authentic South Indian food. He is right! The food is soooo good! Especially the crab - the sauce is very flavouy and spicy in a good way. I will defo visit again😋

We ordered Chicken Kizhi Biryani and Nadan Pori Pori Chicken—both were delicious and flavorful, especially the crispy and tasty Pori Pori Chicken. However, the service was very disappointing. There was only one person serving, and we had to wait a long time for our food. We asked for water glasses multiple times but got no response. It also seemed like the server was more attentive to tables with female customers, completely ignoring male customers. Very bad experience overall, despite the good food.

I order lamb dum biryani and appam ,it's worthless and tasteless .The biryani is like fried rice and the appam is not warm at all and look like made it about an hour ago.Waste of my money.The service boy it's not that good enough.Sorry for giving you this review ,totally I'm disappointed with the food the served and your hospitality .Please ensure it.The price is high but food is not good at all

One of the best Indian food I ever had in the UK. Good ambience and service

The food was honestly brilliant, would be 5 stars but the food came out very slowly and you do get charged for a takeout box.

Delicious Kerala Indian food. Friendly and welcoming hospitality- nothing was too much trouble

They said will get the food with in 20- 25 min but taken more than 1 hour to get the food. Very disappointed.

It's very Good taste.... I like it very much and askshya service is too good must try chicken kilzhi parotta...thank for your dishes

What a find! The food was so flavoursome and amazing. Will definitely be back!

It's kinda okay, not great for high price tag on particular items

The restaurant experience was profoundly disappointing. There appeared to be no staff designated to attend to the guests, which contributed to a lack of service. The condition of the dining tables and chairs was subpar, suggesting they may have been acquired at little to no cost from a marketplace. I found myself needing to interrupt my meal to approach the reception for water, and there were no utensils provided at the table. This experience left me feeling quite dissatisfied. It is imperative for the owner to take immediate action to rectify these issues to enhance the overall dining experience for patrons.

Unapologetically authentic Keralan food. Our entire family loved ALL the items we ordered. Every dish tasted different and not made with base gravy. Kudos to the hard working family business. Will definitely come again. 2 things to note: 1. Many dishes are properly spicy. We loved them but if you like your dishes mild, please check with staff before you order. 2. Properly making complex dishes from scratch takes time. So be prepared to wait a bit.

The best Indian food in Leeds..

Very good food. Each dish has its own unique flavor. Must try - Kaalummakaya (Starter), Kappa meen curry, Fish Molly, Chatti Chooru

Huge portions..fresh coconut chutney with a rich sambar. Delicious 😋

Ordered the chicken kizhi biriyani and it was unbelievable. Great customer service as well!

Just amazing!!!Do yourself a favour and go very soon..the food is so fresh and tasty and different from your average curry house…so difficult to choose from such a large, varied menu.Everything has a lovely ‘ home cooked’ feel about it ..beware the huge portions though.. the usual two starters and two mains with rice and naan was WAY too much for us two and were by no means delicate little things!!! The service is friendly and attentive (without being ‘in your face’)and the restaurant is spacious and has a nice relaxed shabby chic feel to it…Loved it and we will be back with fam or friends.Thanks x

Most excellent. Fantastic mix of delicate and hearty dishes. Something for everyone and something different too.

Its me nihal, the food was so good. For me personally i like the chattti choru. I think this dish one should be tried

Good vegan options and portion sizes, will go back and try something else. Good prices too

Amazing food after evening at snooker centre! Dosa was amazing and huge portions for starter. Excited to try the extensive menu again after next time we are nearby. Thanks again!

I recently had the pleasure of trying the Chattichooru at Trissur Pooram Restaurant, and it was a culinary delight that I can't wait to rave about. The chattichooru itself was a perfect balance of rice cooked perfectly accompanied with a bunch of delicious sidedishes. Especially the taste of the chicken curry and the fish curry was really outstanding. The portion size was generous which making it an excellent value for the price. I really appreciate their attentiveness and eager to explain the dish and offer the recommendations on how to enjoy it at the best. I highly recommend the chattichooru at Trissur Pooram for anyone looking to explore genuine South Indian flavors in Leeds. It’s a comforting, flavorful dish that is sure to satisfy. I left the restaurant feeling not only full but also excited to return and try more of their offerings.

I've been to Trissur Pooram twice recently and will go again. The food is delicious and quite different from many other Indian restaurants. My friend said it was the best aubergine curry she'd every tasted and I really enjoyed my fish nirvana, which was a sea bass curry. I've previously had the Syrian beef stew, which was also very tasty. The staff are helpful and friendly and the food is exceptional.

Great food, will definitely be back soon.

What a great find! All of us thought the food was excellent and a bit different from the usual indian restaurants (maybe as it's southern Indian?). Nicely decorated and the young staff were friendly and attentive. Even a Kirkstall beer on draft. The owners/chefs came out to say hello as we left. We'll definitely be back.

The restaurant is spacious but can't accommodate more than 5 groups because I think they only have a limited number of chefs. The food was so good , proper texture and aroma 🤤 was good . In my opinion the desserts were soooo good and the starters to the next level . I could tell more about this place but I'll suggest each and everyone in Leeds needs to taste their food also they are available in Uber eats

Have been here tonight and had an amazing meal. Nothing was too much trouble. I am gluten free and there were lots of options and the staff were happy to give advice. I can highly recommend the Veg Thali . We will definitely be back.

This was the best South Indian restaurant I have ever been to!

Some of the best indian food I have ever eaten, whole family was delighted with how good the restaurant & staff were. Will be back!

Tasty food. Very fresh. Varied choices of Indian dishes.

A surprising find and really good Keralan food.

Thrissur Pooram is my go to takeaway . It’s the best Kerala restaurant so far in Leeds which serves almost authentic taste of Kerala . Have tried the fish curry meals recently and it reminded me of home . My go to fav is definitely the kizhi porotta . It’s really tasty , but would like to suggest to add one more porotta if possible , since it becomes too soggy . But, the taste is remarkable , and this is the only restaurant I could relate to in terms of proper “naadan taste” in Leeds .

Beautiful south Indian cuisine. Very flavorsome.

Excellent Vegetarian cuisine. Authentic Kerala taste.

10/10 food had the best payasam of my life here lovely interactions with the staff too

The best Biriyani I have ever had

My girlfriend and I arrived at 13.30, we were welcomed and we perused the excellent menu. A good variety of dishes that you don't find in other restaurants. I ordered the beef dry fry to start which was lovely and tender with a nice crunch on the outside. My girlfriend ordered the pazham pori which was a fantastic blend of textures and flavours with a nice spice level to it. For our mains we chose Devil Lamb and devil chicken, lovely sticky and slightly sweet sauce and lovely tender meat accompanied by 2 of the best garlic nan' we've had. Can't wait to go back and try more on the menu.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Trissur Pooram, .The menu offers a wide range of authentic Kerala dishes, and the flavors truly transport you to South India. I started with the samosa chaat , which was a delightful mix of spicy chickpeas, tangy chutneys, and crispy samosas a perfect balance of freshness and spice. For the main course, I tried the oothappam dosa, a thicker, fluffier version of the classic dosa, with a crispy edge and flavorful toppings of onions, tomatoes, and coriander. It paired beautifully with their homemade coconut chutney and sambar. The dish was light but filling, a standout among the vegetarian offerings. The mixed vegetable kuruma, made with a rich coconut-based korma sauce, was sweet and creamy, though it leaned slightly on the sweeter side for my taste. Despite that, the pilau rice served alongside was light and aromatic, complementing the dish perfectly. One of the highlights of the meal was the traditional sambaaram, a spiced buttermilk drink. Its tangy, spicy kick from the curry leaves, ginger, and chili was both refreshing and unique. Overall, the food at Trissur Pooram offers a rich, home-style South Indian experience with a wide variety of choices for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The prices are reasonable, and the service is attentive and welcoming. I will definitely be back to explore more from their diverse menu

If someone is looking to feel like going somewhere authentically South Indian, then this is it !!!!

My friend and I had masala dosa, gobi manchurian and mango lassi. All were good 👍

Food was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Most definitely authentic Kerala cuisine. The time the took to be prepared is relatively longer. Otherwise, everything was superb!

Hands-down, the only authentic Kerela cuisine you'd find in Leeds! Ridiculously delicious food made with the best ingredients. So, so worth the wait! Can't wait to try other dishes.

Trissur Pooram's Chili Chicken is a spicy, addictive delight, with marinated chicken cooked in a rich, creamy sauce with just the right kick. This dish is a must-try for spice lovers and anyone seeking a flavor adventure.

I recently dined at Thrissur Pooram Leeds and was thoroughly impressed by the Ambience & Delious Foods especially " Chattichoru". The taste of Fish & Chicken Curry was Outstanding... Highly recommended for those who want to have authentic Kerala Cuisine with the Highest Quality..

------------- Response to Owner----------- Unbelievable and Disrespectful Response from Management I’m appalled by the response from this restaurant. Instead of taking responsibility for their clear lack of professionalism, they have chosen to attack me personally and dismiss my concerns entirely. Firstly, it's laughable that you’re trying to blame the delivery driver for your inability to get food out on time. If your food is “freshly made,” then maybe you should plan better to ensure that customers receive what they ordered, hot and on time. Don’t try to shift the blame when the reality is you dropped the ball. Claiming that I don’t know anything about your cuisine is not only arrogant but also completely irrelevant. I don’t need to be an expert in Kerala cuisine to recognize when food arrives cold and late. Your attempt to dodge criticism by flaunting your “15 years of experience” is pathetic. If anything, that experience should have taught you how to handle customer feedback with respect and humility—not with condescension and lies. I’m extremely disappointed by the fact that the you "owner" felt it was appropriate to call me at 9:33PM to question why I left a negative review. Reaching out to customers late at night in this manner is not only unprofessional but also invasive. Attaching the proof of the call. My review was an honest reflection of my experience, which I am entitled to share. Instead of respecting my feedback and using it as an opportunity to improve, you chose to disturb my personal time, adding to the negative experience I already had with your establishment. As for your claim that the food didn’t arrive cold—seriously? Do you think insulting my intelligence is going to win you points? I’ve ordered from you multiple times and know very well what to expect. The fact that you’re resorting to calling me a liar speaks volumes about your inability to accept any form of criticism. It’s clear you’re more interested in protecting your ego than in addressing valid customer concerns. And the audacity to tell me not to order from you again? Trust me, that won’t be a problem. Your attitude towards customers is disgraceful, and I won’t be supporting a business that thinks it’s acceptable to berate and belittle people who dare to give honest feedback. To anyone considering ordering from here—think twice. There are plenty of other places that serve great food and know how to treat their customers with respect. Stop wasting time with excuses and start doing your job right. Attaching the my first review and response from the owner for the clarity.

Been here a couple of times now and really impressed with the quality of food and friendly and attentive service. There are a couple of other Indian restaurants further up Cardigan Rd but this is well worth the trip - it’s by far the most authentic with a lovely ambiance created by the music and decor. Not to mention the food: it’s clearly a family-run restaurant making seriously good South Asian dishes. So different to your average curry, with clean flavours, plenty of spice, but never overpowering, really fragrant flavours. Plus there’s plenty of original dishes, served in banana leaves or with a range of interesting alternatives to rice, from tapioca (cassava) to paratha to lentil-based breads from the region. A really rewarding menu that we’ll definitely be sampling more of. Highly recommended.

Outstanding and authentic Indian cuisine. Family run: the service is exceptional and friendly. Even for Leeds, which does Indian better than most of the UK, this is unique. Worth coming a bit further from Leeds City centre. The food here will seriously make you smile. There's anything for everyone. My favourite: Chicken or Beef Khizi Parotta: meat cooked in three layers of Kerala parotta flaky bread, steamed in a banana leaf, making the meat tender and rich with flavours! And even more traditional dishes are cooked to perfection: I thought I had tasted good Prawn poori many times before: after having it at Trissur Pooram, I think I was wrong. Don't miss it!

It's a good option to have some good South Indian food with family and friends

A friendly place with delicious Keralan food.

Waiting period is way too much and not something we agree even if they make it from scratch . We pre-orederd our meal 1 hour before and still then we had to wait for another 55min after reaching to get the food and we ordered. Not something we expect from a good place like this.

Preordered 9 items atleast 45 mins before arrival, and we received them an hour after we reached the shop, food quality is really good but the waiting time at this place is the worst - your patience will be tested to the fullest.

We arrived around 3:30, not realizing they take a break from 3-5 PM. Despite being incredibly busy, they warmly welcomed us and provided seating right away. As always, the food was absolutely delicious—finger-licking good! The only downside is that they’re not closer to where we live (Norton). This place consistently delivers amazing food that not only satisfies your taste buds but also leaves you feeling full and happy. Highly recommend!

Been here twice now and it's rapidly become a favourite. Reasonably priced and the food is absolutely exceptional. Had the devil lamb today and it was astonishing. The pickle tray and bhajis were also next level.

I had a very disappointing experience at Thrissur Pooram. I ordered food around 12 pm and they told me it could be collected within one hour. It took over two hours for my food to be prepared, went to collect the food in the restaurant and the staff immediately prepare everything within another waiting period of 30min which is completely unacceptable. On top of that, the service was terrible. The server was extremely inattentive and wouldn't even look at the customers to take orders or listen to any suggestions. Overall, a very frustrating experience. Definitely need to learn how to treat customers.

Fantastic food highly recommended

This is the best Kerala food ever had the best to be honest better then tharavadu we will be back soon 💯

I visited Thrisoor Pooram for the first time with great hope on Monday 22/07/24 @ 5pm. We were the first customers. While ordering we clearly asked to a girl (who took our orders) looking age around 20-30 whether porotta is fresh made or not. She told its fresh made in their restaurant. They servered frozen porotta with a stange shape, which billed £4 per piece. Actually same porotta we are having at home every week. These restaurant porotta we get 20 pieces for £4.99(frozen per pack) at Asian shops. Just to have fresh porotta we went there. That too after late lunch. Coffee full of milk bits, over taste of corriander powder in beef curry... what a food dear. 3 Adults and 2 kids under 6, bill £63. We could have go Tharavadu instead. Value for money there. Regretting now. Thank you. Please don't miss their reply. My reply for that: First of all, please forgive me regarding that spelling mistake. And for other matters - We did not order anything extra dear. Porotta per piece £4 clearly written. We having same frozen porotta at home 2-3 days in a week, and we need to believe that's a fresh porotta :-). Do u think we never had fresh porotta? And we eating frozen porotta for the first time? Funny. Thank you for your reply.

Been looking forward to coming here as heard great things and wasn’t disappointed. Best Indian food I’ve had outside of India. Loved the menu. Would recommend ⭐️

Authentic and delicious food. They even had some typical cookies my mother makes, which I had never seen sold anywhere before. This made my day!

The food was good and amazing. It was good experience but the time when I pay them, they asked for tip. The exact word was " Would you like to give us tip". It was little bit akward for us. I think it is totally customer call to give tip or not. To ask for tip little bit sound not good. Otherwise overall experience was very good.

It was a good experience. I had Kizhi Porotta and a Masala Chai. The food was really good and reasonably priced. The service was also good.

Worst ever experience from a Kerala Restaurant, Customer service is very pathetic, food we ordered chicken and beef biriyani ,it was the worst biriyani I ever had In the UK, only because we had it as we were hungry .And the wait time is like ages . They focus on big orders and group people other than Single customers, Customer is the King should treat everyone like that. I will never ever suggest it to anyone.....Pathetic

We had an excellent meal here - authentic, freshly made family made food. Had a nice conversation with the young man (we were early). The location was unpromising and we were very pleasantly surprised when we came in.

Chatti choru is a must try experience. Really loved the atmosphere and the food, They do have a lot on the plate to seve. One of the best kerala restaurants in leeds.

Ordered biryani and kizhi porotta it is good 👍

There was 5 of us at our table that we had booked for 6pm, after an hour and twenty minutes wait our starters arrived and one was missing after the waiter reading our order out when it was taken and it was all correct. Starters were nice and was looking forward to our mains. After been seated for over 2 hours in the restaurant the mains where still nowhere to be seen. Seemed no sense of urgency from the waiters until one of our party approached the counter and asked to pay for what we had eaten so we could leave as we had somewhere to be. Two tables one of 6 and one of 3 were seated after us and received there starters and mains before us and the waiter said due to the size of our group (5) ours would take longer even tho they manage to feed 9 people before they could 5 that only ordered 5 mains and sides. Genuinely enjoyed the starter and wanted to try the mains but watching two other tables receive all there food starters and mains before us is ridiculous…

Not the experience we expected at all. Was looking forward to going and trying some authentic Keralan cuisine, but was let down from start to finish. We had booked a table for 6pm and didn’t get seen at our table until 6.15pm to take our orders, there was only one other table in the restaurant at this time. Then we had issues with drinks, one person ordered a shandy but was given one of the Indian pale ales, when we asked about this they told us it was shandy, it wasn’t. Then they said he couldn’t have shandy as the lager was off…the rest of us ordered lager and got it. He gave up and ordered a coke. Thankfully this arrived. Then the food, poppadoms arrived at 7pm, we ordered a poppadom each and a pickle tray to share, we got 2 poppadoms each and 5 pickle trays! Then starters, they arrived at 7.20 and were quite good although the bhajis were fairly tasteless and the chilli chicken had lots of bits of bone in. One person’s starter didn’t arrive. Then the mains, warm plates were put on the table at 7.40, and it eventually got to 8pm and still no mains. 2 hours and we’d had poppadoms and a starter. We decided enough was enough, asked to pay for what we had and leave as we didn’t want to wait any longer. They said the food was nearly here, and then asked if we wanted it bagging up to take with us. No apology at any point, poor service, not asking if we wanted drinks throughout. Ended up in five guys with a delightful burger, quick service, good quality food and friendly servers. All in all, an experience we were all looking forward to that was a total let down. Still cost us £20 each for a drink, poppadoms and a starter! Would not recommend.

I had food from north to the south of England and now I can say that I had the best food. May be it's not very modern and dosnt have looks but believe me the best indian food I ever had. If the food u eat reminds u of ur mum then that's the best u ever had.

Best South Indian cuisine in Leeds, Highly recommend

Hi Been ordering from past two years from both Uber eats and Deliveroo Always ordered Chicken kizhi biryani Chicken kizhi paratha Thalassery chicken dum biryani Chicken 65 When it's comes to taste 85% time they are wow but sometimes it will be bad because of delivery issues by the time it reaches to me Delivery always take time minimum 50 min and Maximum is 1 hr 25 min

We had delicious tapioca with fish curry, and chicken biriyani. Authentic kerala cuisine, absolutely loved it!

Fantastic food and service. Definitely the best food we've had in the UK.

A great restaurant serving authentic South Indian food. I've eaten here a few times and the service is always friendly. Highly recommend :)

A poor quality restaurant with very slow service. The tables were coated in a weird material making them incredibly sticky. My family had to unfortunately leave my grandmother behind as she was stuck to the table. Fortunately she did not mind as she enjoyed her meal. Some of the portion sizes were incredibly small and after waiting for over an hour to arrive, this was devastating news. Not sure why but there was also a rather alarming upper decky left in the roof of the bog which meant the bathroom for were not to a suitable standard. On the whole I would not recommend this establishment. EDIT: I clearly did nothing to the bathroom, what a pathetic empty threat. It would be such a shame if the police come and lock me up for commuting such crimes. Hopefully they don’t make me eat your disgusting food in prison :(

Probably the worst scran I have ever eaten. Unfortunately the food took 1 hour 20 minutes to arrive and as you can see in the attached image a portion of dog food arrived. The food was not cheap and left 8 of the 9 members of our party heavily disappointed. The saving grace of the experience was the belting music within the establishment, which brought the empty atmosphere up to a 3/5 star rating. Overall a terrible experience and would not recommend.

Chattichor and chicken curry meal was great had great dine experience , reminded us back home Hope to come back for the taste

Restaurant is spacious, good vibe, Food was delicious and excellent service.

Visited last Saturday around 8.15pm with another family. When we went in there was another group of around 8 people and one more family. We didn't make advance booking, so we were told there will be 45 minutes wait for food. Although we had some initial hesitation, we then decided to wait for 45 minutes. Placed order around 8.30pm and the food was only provided around 9.45pm and that too only a part of the order after repeated requests. The rest of the order took another 15-20 minutes. I read the reviews only today and it looks like there are quite a few negative reviews for the same reason ! They have only one chef which is why they take too long. If you are hungry or don't have the patience to wait for too long, this place is definitely not for you. The food was decent and I wouldn't say it's either bad or great. Bit expensive and I don't think I will return or recommend to anyone based on my experience.

I ordered the food through Deliveroo and after a long waiting 1 hr and 45 min the food was dispatched after series of call to restaurant and Deliveroo help centre - the driver took another 40 min as he had another order to pick and deliver- finally received the food after 2hrs and 25min to my surprise the food was cold, and curry was tin curry. They are the worst restaurant in Leeds and stealing peoples money by selling something from frozen and tin food- they should be banned from Deliveroo and hopefully somebody should look at restaurant food hygiene

As an indian the worst biriyani i ever had.....

My friends friend ordered some food and it was awful…

I came in yesterday and ordered poori and biryani, they said it would take time as there are reservation tables. To point out there were just 3-4 tables apart from ours. It took more than 1 hour for the food to come and the food was nice (not mind-blowing). The food was not worth waiting for an hour honestly. Other restaurants don't keep people waiting for an hour like this (even non reserved tables). If you can't handle the no. of customers then don't take them.

This restaurant brings the diverse Kerala South Indian cuisine style of cooking to Burley in Leeds and it does not disappoint. It is situated about a mile out of the city centre on Kirkstall Road with Weaver Street serving as free off main road parking next to it. The layout is one of a long linear set up (formerly Meat is Dead premises) and delving deeper into the area affords reasonable quietness. We visited 6:00pm, when initially, no other customers were present. A great place to drink our mango/ lime apple cider (highly recommended) and to watch Leeds go by and start to relax after the working day. Kerala is 'The Land of The Spices' so if you order a spicy dish- expect it to be just that. We had popadoms and pickle tray starter. The pickles ranged from cooling to piquant and complemented the crisp light popadoms. This being our second visit, I noted that the menus have now been professionally prepared and presented with a more condensed, but nevertheless varied menu, with English explanations outlined below. My starter of Chilli Chicken was both generous and cooked with a spice base that beautifully built in flavour and strength as it was consumed. The lovely waitress, they all have impeccable manners and cater to you individually, pre-assured me that if it was too spicy she could bring a yoghurt cooler. My son's onion bhaji didn't disappoint either. It looked evenly cooked and was a generous portion. I could see the staff's attentiveness with regular glances to see if we had finished each course before they served the next. Our waitress regularly approached us mid course to check if everything was to our taste. My Railway Mutton Curry, served with Chapatis and butter garlic rice was tasty and the meat fell apart in the mouth. My son's chicken paratha was served in a banana leaf and was both generous in portion and rich in taste. Our bill was reasonable and I gladly left a tip. This restaurant is fit to included in the Leeds City well established dining experience and I anticipate it will go from strength to strength. The Kerala method of cooking brings new smells and tastes to the run of the mill typical indian food we have so much revered and become accustomed to. We will be trying further vegetarian and fish dishes in future. Well worth our 30 miles round trip to sample. Well done this restaurant- keep it up.
