My wife and I had a meal at Atithi prior to going to a theatre show on 19th March 2024.The service and food were excellent. There were no faults. We both very much enjoyed the experience. Nice relaxing ambience and great food. This was our second visit to this lovely restaurant and both visits were faultless. NB: We had 2 starters, 3 main courses(2 lamb and a vegetarian) between us and my wife had a roti. We also had 2 beers each to explain the final bill total which was £69 including 10% tip. The food alone is reasonably priced.A big thank you to the staff from us both. We'll be back soon.

I've enjoyed every visit I've made to Atithi - the most recent being last night. The Early Bird deal is a lifesaver at the moment, but all the food is really good and there's a good variety available.Some of it seems closer to standard fare for an Indian restaurant, but then there's the more contemporary side - I tried the haggis curry on my first visit (before turning vegetarian), and that was gorgeous!More recently, I've particularly enjoyed paneer kolhapuri and sindhu rice ?

Very sorry deeply disappointed with the food.We ordered authentic Indian dishes like samosa and beetroot cutlet. Beetroot cutlet was crumbling down and didn't bind well because of which it was oily. Samosa filing was similar to cheese onion pastry filling except for the fact the filing is made of potato. The pastry is filo pastry. Chana dal didn't look appetizing.

Contemporary Indian food in York! Last night we tried @atithiyork as we‘ve driven past it so many times and always wanted to try it, we’re so glad we did - they had such an extensive but interesting menu… we’re definitely going back, they had a curry made in a giant Yorkshire pudding?The only thing we would say is the service was on the slow side, it took us an hour to get our starters, but at least the food was nice and fresh and our waiter was very pleasant.Here’s some of the things what we got:Poppadoms & Pickle TrayFlaming Lamb Chop ?Bhindi MasalaIndian street style Lamb Buna ?Chicken Sindhu curry ?Overall, we’ll give it a 8.3/10 as the food was delicious

Lovely food and restaurant but service leaves something to be desired. 30 min wait before popadom and pickle arrived. A further 40 minutes before the starters and mains arrived. Had to push several times to get the food to come out and only when threatening to cancel the order did it come out within minutes. Several others in the restaurant had the same issue with some even walking out. I would say if you’re going, leave plenty of time for the meal. We had an hour and a half before our show at the Barbican and even arrived 10 mins early to the restaurant but apparently it’s not enough to be served on time, we ended up receiving our food 20 mins before the show started, had to rush the food and run over.

Fresh, tasty, delicious food in a cosy atmosphere. Walked past many times in the last year and meant to call in so glad we did. Cosy atmosphere great service and superbly tasty and aromatic food.. our new favourite.

I took advantage of their advertised early bird evening meal deal, starter and main course for £9.95. Only to find out the main course does not include rice or a bread. What a con and I said so. A garlic naan cost another £2.50. They weren't open either earlier for the Saturday brunch they advertised. Disappointing. Hasn't come near to replacing the Noor I used to visit regularly when I lived here.
Food wasn’t great, naan was really good though, but the curries that we had were not great.

we came as a family and we all agreed that we have never tasted a curry as amazing as this. It felt as though we had gone to an Indians home so light and full of flavour, best ever

Booked two weeks in advance for twenty people.It took an hour and 45 mins for food which was like warm and quite bland.Naan breads came out twenty minutes after the food was

Visiting York just nipped in for some starters to take back to hotel. Wow. Best onion bhaji, chicken pakora and somosas I've ever tasted, no word of a lie; and ive been to a lot of

I went here while on a visit to York, and was really impressed. You can tell straight away how much care has gone into the place, decor, menus, even the cuttlery is lovely. It really is beautiful.Service was great, food arrived promptly (despite my ordering four things), presentation again was really nicely done. The food itself was delicious, some of the best I've had and I am a frequent eater of Indian cuisine. It managed to incorporate little fresh elements and the balance of flavours was delightful.Overall, it felt like a truly special occasion for what, to me, seemed like an extraordinarily reasonable price. I'd highly recommend the restaurant to any enjoyer of Indian food, or anyone just looking for a special experience.
