Tharavadu

Restaurante | Leeds | Inglaterra | Reino Unido

Restaurante de cocina auténtica Kerala

El "Tharavadu" en Leeds es un restaurante galardonado que se especializa en la cocina auténtica de Kerala, una región en el sur de India. Desde su apertura en 2014, se ha establecido rápidamente como uno de los mejores restaurantes indios en el Reino Unido y ha recibido una impresionante lista de premios, incluyendo varios Oliver Awards como el mejor restaurante indio en Leeds y una recomendación en la Guía Michelin. El nombre "Tharavadu" significa en malayalam "familia que preserva tradiciones", y esto refleja exactamente la filosofía del restaurante: ofrece un viaje culinario al mundo de la cocina de Kerala, conocida por sus ricos sabores, ingredientes frescos y la conexión entre el mar y la tierra. El local es un favorito entre los lugareños, visitantes e incluso celebridades – entre ellas el capitán de cricket indio Virat Kohli – quienes aprecian los sabores auténticos y la cálida atmósfera.

La decoración del "Tharavadu" es sencilla pero acogedora, con un enfoque en la funcionalidad y la calidez. El interior está revestido de madera oscura, lo que le da al restaurante un toque acogedor, mientras que mapas de Kerala adornan las paredes e incluso el techo, enfatizando la herencia cultural de la cocina. Es un lugar que no busca una elegancia excesiva, sino que ofrece un ambiente relajado donde la comida es el centro de atención. La cocina abierta permite ver la preparación de los platos, y la atmósfera suele ser animada, especialmente los fines de semana, cuando el restaurante está muy concurrido. A pesar de su popularidad, se mantiene sin pretensiones, lo que lo convierte en un lugar adecuado tanto para ocasiones especiales como para una visita espontánea.

Restaurante Tharavadu en Leeds

Culinarmente, el "Tharavadu" se distingue por sus especialidades de Kerala, que son notablemente diferentes de la típica cocina del norte de India, como la que se encuentra en muchos restaurantes de curry británicos. Un plato destacado es el "Tharavadu Mixed Seafood", un plato que se sirve con camarones, mejillones y pescado en una salsa de coco picante que captura perfectamente la ubicación costera de Kerala. Igualmente popular es el "Masala Dosa", un rollo de crepe crujiente de arroz y lentejas, relleno de puré de papa especiado, que se sirve con Sambar y chutneys – un clásico que combina ligereza con sabores intensos. Para los amantes de la carne, destaca el "Kozhi Curry", un plato de pollo en una rica y aromática salsa de leche de coco, cilantro y chiles verdes, que muestra la versatilidad de las especias de Kerala. También son notables las opciones vegetarianas, como el "Vegetable Stew", un plato suave con leche de coco que se sirve con Appam, un pan de arroz blando y fermentado. De postre, se ofrece el "Kesari", un dulce pudín de sémola con azafrán, cardamomo y nueces, que proporciona un cierre suave.

Cocina Keralan en el Reino Unido

La calidad de los ingredientes es un aspecto central del "Tharavadu". Muchos productos, como especias y mariscos, se obtienen directamente de Kerala para mantener la autenticidad, mientras que la cocina trabaja con métodos tradicionales, como la fermentación lenta de masas o el tostado de especias para intensificar los sabores. El restaurante ofrece una amplia gama de opciones para diferentes necesidades dietéticas, incluyendo platos sin gluten, veganos y vegetarianos, lo que lo hace especialmente inclusivo. La carta de bebidas incluye jugos refrescantes, así como una selección de vinos que se ajustan cuidadosamente a los sabores especiados, y bebidas tradicionales como Masala Chai, que completan la experiencia.

Restaurante galardonado en Leeds

El servicio es a menudo descrito como cálido y competente, con un equipo que recibe amablemente a los huéspedes y está encantado de explicar los platos – especialmente útil para aquellos que no están familiarizados con la cocina de Kerala. El personal se preocupa por atender deseos especiales, ya sea en caso de alergias o preferencias, y se asegura de que, incluso con mucha afluencia, se mantenga una atmósfera agradable. El restaurante se enorgullece de sus raíces en Leeds y recientemente ha expandido su presencia con "Uyare", un segundo local en la ciudad, lo que es un signo de su éxito continuo y la creciente demanda de su oferta.

Very authentic food, service was excellent and had a very enjoyable afternoon meal with family, worth the journey on the train from Doncaster- highly recommend you try the different dishes to usual Indian food

Not often something lives up to the hype. The food is epic, flavoured with ingredients beyond the normal UK curry. Run with a warm, embracing atmosphere.

Yet another in an increasingly long (unbroken) line of fantastic evenings at Tharavadu under the ever-wonderful care of Prakash, Siby -- and more recently, Abbi -- and the Leeds-branch team. I can only repeat what I've said in my previous reviews (plural) of this fantastic restaurant -- which is -- "Have lost count of the number of times I've dined here over the years, every one of which has been a 5* experience on all counts of food, service and atmosphere. We've been looked after so well on anniversaries, birthdays and when taking colleagues and friends out for a meal. I cannot think of a _consistently_ excellent curry experience that comes remotely close to the Tharavadu. Keep up the great work -- we'll be back again and again as long as you're open! Thank you!! "

The curry was not good, and all items were overpriced. I had great expectations, but it was disappointing.It could have been done much better.

Great staff helped find us a better table than first selected, because of the physical need a of a guest.

Excellent place. I was transported back to India via a delicious prawn starter, followed by a Dosa which was as big as a hat. Beautiful food, great service.

The price for vegetarian sadya thali and the food provided doesn’t match the price. What we get for an express thali for a sadya thali they added 3 dishes along with soup and sweet. The management should look at offering buffet when going for sadya thali

Not your usual Indian restaurant. With the menu being based on Keralan cuisine you won't be getting your usual korma here! Came here after seeing Gary Eats review on YouTube and we weren't disappointed. We even had a chat with a member of staff after the meal who told us that they raise money for charity as well. They were also kind enough to give us a little box to take our left overs home with us.

Really great restaurant specialising in South Indian cuisine. Staff really helpful and great service - they managed to accommodate us on Valentine’s Day. Restaurant very busy and vibrant. The food is always amazing, love the thali and bread (paratha).

This was our second visit and it didn’t disappoint. My relatives were over here from Norway and I really wanted them to try the fabulous food in this restaurant. They make everything from scratch, the recipes are full of fresh spices, herbs, vegetables, sea food or meat and fruits.Wonderful Biryani, Giant Fresh Prawns in Kerala sauce with green mango.the best paratha I ever had. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Really good spot for Indian food. Not the cheapest but big portions. Only fault was they forgot to bring out my friends drink and was quite busy in there so took a while for them to come round to remind them. But lovely staff and great food
