We came here after reading great reviews from the internet and were impressed with the food presentation, ambience, and service provided to us.However, we felt bit disheartened with the taste of the food. We placed order for Meen Polichathu and Njerippan Kozhi, and though the food had a great mix of ingredients, it was amiss the flavour we hoped to experience.But the winner was the semmiya payasam, it was a sweet end to our overall experience.Perhaps by trying to localise the food to cater to the British customers, the authentic taste has been missed out. It would be nicer to have more starter options for poultry dishes.
Love this place. My favourite food destination for quite sometime ? Lunch yesterday was super tasty and at a very reasonable price. They have been serving Keralan cuisine here for almost 10 years and the consistency of the food is amazing. I would recommend Tharavadu to anyone who likes great food. ?Vegetarian options: Plenty of choice for veggie dishesWheelchair accessibility: Entry is at street level but entry is a regular doorway and probably only fits a standard manual wheelchair. I would check with the owners first to be safe

Amazing vegan and veggie options as well as meat. Bright colours. Beautiful food, great staff. Went per the recommendation of basically everyone in Leeds.An absolute gem.

The first review I've ever written on Google, because Tharavadu absolutely deserve it. The best curry I've ever eaten so far in my life (the Kerala Kozhi), 10/10 will be back again.

Friendly, cosy atmosphere with delicious curries - the fish curry is one I'll keep going back to again and again, unreal! Also very coeliac friendly.

We booked a table for 5 Friday evening for my 70th birthday celebration. Never tried South Indian food before and we were delighted with the quality, presentation and obvious care that had been taken. The service was outstanding, the waiter was so obliging to our needs. The manager checked on us twice for any feedback.The evening was very enjoyable thanks to the care and attention of this restaurant. We will certainly be back in the not too distant future.Thank you.
Hands down the best paratha I have ever had anywhere. And everything else on the menu is fantastic

Enjoyed eating at Tharavadu with my friends - loved our meals and the service was good as usual. However, I found the lamb I ordered chewier and was not as tender as I was expecting. My friends enjoyed their first time at Tharavadu though especially their orders.
