Tharavadu (Leeds City Centre)

• It moves away from the 'traditional British curry' and instead presents to us a true reflection of what food is like in South India along the Karalan coast line (I presume)
• It shows us what else there is out there other than a chicken bhuna/balti/tikka masala
• We walked in and were shown to our seats immediately
• The restaurant is fairly small so I would always advise to book ahead
• There was only one 'lads' table visible with a large mix of people scattered around
• We had to ask for drinks after growing impatient with no one paying us much attention at the start of the meal but things picked up a little after then
• A few needed help deciphering what were starters and mains
• Loved how they havnt played around with south Indian cuisine and kept it very authentic
• Special mention to the soup served with the veg thali
• Then most certainly at par with Sarvana Bhawan
• Best restaurant in leeds with great food
• Meen pollichathu with kerala paratha is a must try in tharavadu
• All the dishes are perfectly balanced with great flavours
• Their started are amazing as well and they serve a fantastic tray of chutneys as well
• The set menu was perfect and great value
