Reviews of Kalpakavadi Restaurant
E.
Very friendly and hospitable people. The food was wonderful (all plates were clean 😁)! For kids it's possible to have some dishes prepared as 'very mild' (our son had the Korma which he absolutely loved!). The appearance and interior of the restaurant itself was nice and had a modern look, but we would have loved to have a more Indian feel to it. Nevertheless, it'sabout te food and that was great: a real recommendation!
y. s.
Authentic Keralite restaurant in York. A must try their Food,quality, taste everything is perfect and is full of flavours. The best part is they got King Fish fry which you hardly get anywhere in other restaurants in the North Yorkshire.
c. b.
We visited this restaurant for the first time and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing, tasty, plentiful and reasonably priced. Staff were polite but it was a little busy as it was a Bank Holiday.
Would we visit again🤔Definitely
M. S.
No filter required for these colourful curries. First meal on York last night I went here.
This is a Keralan Indian restaurant that has many dishes rarely found in standard Indian restaurants.
As Kerala is very costal is opted for seafood choices.
Poppadom for starters, Angamali Cheemeen Curry Curry (Prawns with Mango), Kappayum Meenum (fish with cassava on the side), Thenga Choru (coconut rice) and Kerala Paratha.
These curries complimented each other well, one being spicy and the other sweeter.
All of it was super delicious.
I’d happily return to try more of their unusual dishes.
Attentive customer service too. A must if in York.
M. J.
Authentic South Indian food.when we visited york,we accidentally came across this restaurant and loved it.loved their soup(chameem soup)it was so delicious.all other dishes were good as well.only issue we had trouble with was the time time.it took 30 min to get our order.Except that food was delicious and would recommend everyone to try this place
D. S.
Fantastic food and a very different selection from other 'curry houses'. We were a bit rushed this time as we had a further engagement but we'll definitely be coming back.
V. S.
The premeal snack they had was really good and typically malayalee snacks. The railway lamb curry was excellent and so was the parotta and appam. The lemon rice and beetroot thoran was pretty good too. What ruined it as we had ordered a butter chicken and the chicken was clearly off
G. P.
An absolutely delicious cushion in the heart of city. Must try for real South Indian flavour. Very hygienic environment.
F. M.
Really enjoyed the food here. Prawns were excellent, soft and cooked as they should be. Fish curry was full of taste. All the food the others had was also pretty outstanding. Staff were helpful. Only the beer disappointed and slightly lacking in atmosphere.
H. H.
Excellent and delicious south Indian cuisine.
They only comment is related to lack of précision of degree of heat of dishes on menu.
V. M.
Food is very tasty however the service is terrible, especially when there's a large group in the restaurant. We waited over 1 hour for our main courses despite ordering before this large groups arrival and when consulting with staff on this, they showed no understanding and refused to accept we had waited for an unacceptable period of time. I would return on a quieter day as the food is lovely but wasn't happy with how we were treated and talked to by the staff.
F.
The food was not seasoned, especially the meat. We have added lots of salt and pepper because it had no taste.
But with salt and pepper added the food was deliciuos. Maybe a little more seasoning would make the dishes perfect! The service is excellent as well.
K. J.
Loved this restaurant. Went for a work Christmas meal - the food was delicious and the staff were really accommodating. I was impressed with the vegan options they provided for me, and the regular options looked great too. Amazing kerala flavours and generous portions.
S. B.
Wonderful restaurant with authentic food from Kerala in South India. Staff were really friendly and helpful and very happy to suggest which dishes were vegan for my partner (and loads were). The food was delicious and a nice change from the usual curry house fair. They did serve the usual Cobra and Kingfisher beers and we enjoyed our cobras with the meal!
N. G.
Whilst outwardly unassuming, this could be one of the best Indian restaurants in the country. Delicate and subtle flavours with a broad and considered menu. 100% worth a visit whilst in York.
l. h.
The food here was amazing, we chose dishes we had never heard of and certainly wasn't disappointed. Loved that we were able to make a late booking. Staff were very attentive.
S. F.
Food is good here. Staff smashing the living daylight out of knives and forks completely ruins it! We are in a restaurant not an iron works.
Ear defenders required.
A. B.
Meal for four, to celebrate a birthday. Booked purely on the basis of previous reviews, and we were royally rewarded. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating, taking time to ensure we knew about Keralan food and spices. We opted for pre-meal poppadoms, homemade 'crisps' of banana flakes and other snacks, all served with their take on mango chutney, mint dressing and lime pickle. These weren't the usual ones you get in high Street Indian restaurants, and were incredibly tasty. Our mains were chicken korma, railway mutton, thalassi chicken and a vegetarian dish. All the dishes are classed as medium spiced, though again the staff were keen to offer milder versions of these or other dishes, so you didn't just 'have what you usually have'. We accompanied the main courses with a range of naan breads with garlic, chilli and cheese. These were of a perfect size to not overface you, and were very reasonably priced at under £5 each. With two rounds of drinks, a mix of beer and sodas, the bill was just under £100. Thoroughly outstanding value, exquisitely flavoured food, leaving us feeling sufficiently saited but not stuffed, we would heartily recommend it to anyone wanting to try the taste of Kerala, South West Indian food.
I. F.
Excellent shared seafood starter with perfect soft-shell crab. Gorgeous fish curry. Definitely didn't disappoint
G. P.
Food was good.....service was weird.....they slotted us in because they said we're very busy. Telling us we should not be too long..I.e. no more than an hour....when we got there they took 30 mins to take our order...30 mins to bring our food...15 mins to eat ..we asked for our bill straight away they took 25 mins to bring bill after we asked for it twice....for someone in a rush they took ages
V. N.
Great authentic Kerala food, excellent ambience. Mutton was a bit tough but tasted really nice. Kids loved the dosa and Utthapam. Service could have been a bit quicker but we'll worth the wait and the restaurant seemed busy even on Tuesday evening. Would definitely recommend.
N. B.
Very, very good curry. Really enjoyed eating here as they have a great range of meats, sides and vegetarian options. I'd also like to thank them for putting dairy notifications on the menu. The staff were great and helped me with my horrid pronunciation when ordering 😆. I'll definitely be back soon
D. B.
Not your usual Indian restaurant!!! Full of fresh dishes from South India.... The lamb curry was these best curry I have ever had. Our entire party loved it.
R. J.
Terrific traditional Keralite / Malabari food! Can’t sing enough praises
H. P.
Beautiful food - air con which was welcome in this heat!! Great service. My son said he wished we had this restaurant near us - best meal in 4 nights!! Would recommend 🥰
S. K.
Great keralite food. Possibly some of the best I have eaten. Very sumptuous portions and excellent quality
J. F.
This is a lovely restaurant offering delicious South Indian Kerelan food, and even with a surprising Syrian dish, the menu is excellent! My wife and son visited on the hottest day of the year, so the AC was a blessing, and for a moment we could’ve imagined we might’ve been back in Kerala! The decor is relaxed and the service present yet discreet. But all said the food was/is the star!! Again well worth a visit.
E. M.
Good experience... Fish curry was good.. Beef was not very tasty as expected. Good ambience and customer relationship.
Every dish is quite expensive.. Especially Kerala porotta..
A. D.
There were 5 of us having dinner,the quality of the food was excellent, nothing left over, the service was friendly we would all highly recommend this restaurant.
S. K.
Best Kerala Food we have ever had in the U.K. Being a malayali, we automatically compare the food with what we get in our home state kerala and boy oh boy this place didnt disappoint, actually it was even better than some good food places in kerala itself..Proper authentic kerala food,very good portions and definitely not to be missed by food enthusiasts. A full 5 star from us.
C. M. S.
Simply delicious! The original food has been explained very well by the friendly staff and the quality was outstanding. Thank you!
D. C.
Really delicious and testy food .
It is A pure South Indian taste I have ever had in Uk.
And a really beautiful concept of bringing a pure test to each dishes …
V. S. G.
Fairly authentic food, although the service could be better. Some of the food was already prepared and ended up waiting on the counter getting slightly cold instead of being brought to the table.
E. W.
Brilliant authentic South Indian meal. Faultless. Attentive and kind service. A must if in York.
J. D.
Lovely food and nice cosy space. Front of house staff were great but would have benefited from another pair of hands.
K. P.
We visited this restaurant once again and we weren't disappointed. Last time I tried whole seabass and it was delicious. This time I went for a recommendation from a waiter and had spicy curry with fish and it was delicious! The spices and fish was perfect. We didn't book on Saturday, but that found a table for me and my husband in the matter of minutes. Friendly staff and timing was perfect for Saturday night. I recommend this restaurant to my vegetarian friend just because they have so many veggie options and they sound great. We will come back for sure!
A. W.
Lovely food, nice to try a different menu to the usual Indian menu.
H. E.
5 stars plus- Fantastic! Our Saturday night meal was amazing! Loved the menu with such a varied selection of not often seen dishes. The food was incredible super fresh & authentic. The restaurant was busy but the staff worked tirelessly to look after their customers & good food is always worth being patient for.
Thank you - our meal was fabulous & we will definitely be back again to our new favourite restaurant.
J. B.
Very tasty Keralan food in the nice atmosphere.
S. G.
I went to this place recently with a party of 4, I have to say that my main course (mango prawns) was one of the nicest meals I've ever had!! The naan bread was brilliant too, so tasty!
The atmosphere and service cannot be be faulted.
Everyone's plate was empty and thoroughly enjoyed, thank you! We'll be back!
T. T.
Booked a table..no need we were only the second couple in the place.
Food was tasty, not the best Indian....far too much on the menu.
Men's toilets awful.
Staff really polite
m. t.
Wow a great restaurant. Loved the menu. 4 of had starters and main all different and all great . We will be back .something different.
S. J.
The best Indian meal I've ever had. Good service. Thank you
I. F.
We recently visited Kalpakavadi as part of a large group for my Dads 60th Birthday, and can't praise it enough! The staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly from start to finish. The menu was so varied and everyone commented on how delicious their food was. All very good value too. Huge thanks, hope to be back again soon!
K. A.
We visited this lovely restaurant on a trip to York as we had not seen a Keralan marked restaurant before. My partner is from Kerala and recognised everything on the menu and did not stop smiling eating the food - which I guess is the best endorsement of the meal!
Staff were courteous and attentive - will gladly return in the future!
B. C.
Excellent meal. Something different to usual British India Recipe restaurants. Dosa (a wafer think crispy lentil pancake) is fantastic - a must try item. I had a tiffin which I once saw on top gear, 3 different curries, rice and a thick lentil pancake, all delicious and it's great getting it in a tiffin.
Staff are fantastic, take cash for tips.
Thanks for a great evening.
R. M.
Booked in advance and wasn't disappointed. The service is very good and there are many interesting dishes on the menu I'd never seen on an Indian restaurant menu before.
Ordered a couple of starters and a main with rice and nan and it was all really well presented and the depth of flavour in the green pepper sauce was amazing!
Would be great to go back and try more of the menu
b. t.
Had a fabulous meal on Saturday 28th August 2021, first class food and service 👌
J.
This is one of the best kerala restaurant I have ever tried in the UK so far. Definitely try the kappa and fish curry!
E. B.
Great restaurant. Lots of gluten free options.
We've been regulars here since they opened, whether in the restaurant or getting take away (before, during, and after the pandemic), and we've never had a bad meal.
If you expect to see all the usual suspects on the menu, you may be disappointed. If you want tasty and authentic Southern Indian cuisine, you are in for a treat.
E. S.
Delicious Kerallan curry. Railway Mutton curry highly recommended.
E. H.
Another hidden Indian treasure. If we can't get in here, we visit our other favourite Indian restaurant the Coconut Lagoon both fantastic- the chefs are great masters in Indian food , a must do visit for anyone- just try for yourself. So easy to get to in York. Eddie & Val Hutchinson Co, Durham.
T. o. p. a. E.
We love Indian food but thought we would try an alternative to the usual. The food was amazing really tasty and absolutely gorgeous! The staff were lovely and attentive and helped us chose what to have.
Highly recommend! We will be back!
B. S.
The staff were brilliant so was the service. We asked what they recommend and we ended up having the best Indian meal I have ever tasted.on a lighter note the Irish waitress deserves a big payrise she was brilliant xx
A. A.
Amazing spicy food.... Gave me a refreshing energy to my taste buds 😜....
S. A.
when you accept someone's order, you must need to make sure about the quantity and food items, no matter it is your closing or hours. Egg was missing in chicken biriyani and quantity was not enough as mentioned. I know it's Saturday. But customer should be the first priority even if with a small order. Taste is brilliant as always, best in York.
I. J.
Really enjoyed my meal here. They might even deserve 5 stars but I need to return and try once more. I was part of a large group and the food was fresh and very tasty. The menu was refreshingly different and I enjoyed both my starter and main course. I want to try more from the menu as part of a smaller group indeed I'm looking forward to it.
l. r.
Very nice restaurant and very nice food , with an array of dishes on the menu and different to your usual BIR.
The only odd thing to complain about was we ordered popadoms and pickles and they came out after they started bringing the mains out - we wanted them to nibble while waiting for mains !
My mate is super soft and his dish was too spicy ( HP sauce is too spicy for him ) and they brought him another milder dish out with no extra charge ! So good service in that respect
M. B.
Booked an early Saturday evening meal at this restaurant. Staff were friendly and attentive. Not you typical menu but our party of 4 agreed that it was one of the best meals we have had. . Would definitely return when in York
B. C.
Brilliant food on Friday night, managed to be seated as a table of 5 without a booking. The waitress was lovely and fantastic at her job!
D. S.
Great food, great hospitality. Made my evening beautiful. I tried to book the table in last minute despite of fully booked restaurant, one of the staff managed to provide a table within half and hour of call. I went there before also on my birthday to have lunch with my sister. The food is authentic and South Indian food has always been my fav. I have never taste such a great quality food in other restaurants of UK. Dosa I absolutely love it. Staffs were so welcoming and friendly. I’m definitely going again for another round sooner. Food is amazing.
A. R.
Lovely ambience, great service. Paneer starter was delicious as were the prawn and mango curry and lemon rice. My vegetable curry however was rather disappoining as the vegetables were not fresh as I expected but looked like a packet of frozen mixed veg. had been used. The sauce was tasty.
K. B.
Delicious food go for the prawn starter mmm..., the paratha was so good as was the beef main all perfectly cooked and service was excellent 😀😀
S. D.
Lovely food but too busy. Can't keep up with tables.
P. S.
As an Indian who grew up in Mumbai, I was slightly skeptical about my very white boyfriend’s suggestion we try this place but was pleasantly surprised. For a very busy restaurant service was still pretty quick, staff was friendly and the food was authentically delicious. Dosa was authentic and the sambar delicious (although spicy for my tastes, but bearable), mattar paneer could have had more spices but was still good. Fish curry was excellent and just how my grandma used to make it.
S. M.
Absolutely gorgeous food, our new favourite in York! We went with a friend and had a selection of mains that we all thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely staff too, we were very impressed, so thank you xxx
S. J. H.
Amazing meal, lots of flavour for me and heat for my husband. The paratha I had with my vegetarian curry was beautifully soft and the paneer dish as a side instead of a starter divine. Lots of variety and choice, the staff were pleasant and helpful. We were on holiday but would make the effort to come back if in York again.
P. W.
Excellent food. Service good although a little disjointed.
A. T.
Had an incredible meal here last night. The food was excellent throughout, so many options and all beautifully cooked. The staff were also very attentive, kind and interesting. Will definitely be coming back!
J. B.
If you want an Indian meal in the centre of York then this is the place.
The restaurant is modern in style, has an abumdance of staff anda great menu. The food is not your typical Indian menu, pages and pages tochoose from.
Instead maybe 6 or 7 pages, in large print which was a bonus for me. We, 2 of us, ordered a shared starter and it was on the table in lightning time. A cold dish so no preparation required.
The staff were attentive and were kept busy cleaning tables which had been vacated and asking us if there was anything we needed. Not over attentive though.
The main courses plus nann. Adequate sized portions with chicken which literally fell apart. Herbs and spices which one could individually taste.
All in all a delightful experience. We would highly recommend this restaurant.
P. T.
This was my first visit and the food is excellent, service is a bit slow when this restaurant is busy but recommended
j. p.
Excellent food and service. Tastiest Indian, different to other Indian food.
E. C.
Really great choice for veggies and reasonably priced too. The Dosa is really tasty and a generous portion. We had one to share as a side with our curries. Definitely recommend if you haven't tried one before.
C. S.
Love this place. Southern Indian food at its best.
Having visited India and loved the cuisine, can say this is like been transported back there. An Absolute must try Indian restaurant in York.
N. E.
Rasty Uduppi Dosa. Very bad white wine (the pinot grigio).
G.
Great dining experience and tasty authentic food. We will visit again when we're in York!
P. C.
Most authentic Keralan cuisine I’ve eaten outside of southern India, great service, excellent value and their Masala Dhosa and paratha’s are a must
S. S.
Excellent food, happy to recommend.
N. N.
We came here for Valentine’s Day and we had the special menu that served a huge range of the amazing food! It was all delicious and very authentic. It’s lovely to have a South Indian restaurant here as a change from the standard Indian restaurants you can go to anywhere. The portion sizes were generous and I felt that it was priced very fairly - you definitely get what you pay for and more! The restaurant itself was clean and modern with lots of tables but it doesn’t feel crowded. Will definitely be dining here again soon!
J. T.
Most amazing, fragrant and interesting restaurant. Absolutely miles apart from any Curry house around, even Leeds. On a par with the best food from my travels in India and Asia. Recommend, and they Deliver!!
E. L.
Great menu of unusual (in the UK) dishes. Lots of great choice. Too many things I would have liked to try so I'll have to go again!
Try the Tiffin. Selection of dishes served in the Indian style tiffin boxes - meat and vegetarian versions available. Very good indeed.
Staff were friendly too. Definitely worth a try. B
P. G.
Amazing food and service received from the staff at the restaurant, it's said that kerala is God's own country, all I can say is that God would be very happy with the food served in here. Keep up the brilliant work.
S. D.
All the food was really nice and the staff were really helpful and gave us advice on what to try. Really good value for money.
R. K.
Authentic kerala food. Tried the chicken and mutton biryani, masala dosa, sambar vada and one of the chicken curry, all were superb. The staff were also very welcoming. There's no parking in front of the restaurant but can find a place to park around the area easily.
V. B.
I’ve been wanting to eat an authentic South Indian meal in York for a while now, and this restaurant absolutely delivered. Food was fresh, tasty and true to form. Thank you for providing me with this taste of home :)
R. E.
Highly recommend this place - we shared a medium chicken and lamb curries which have so much flavour, plus rice which was cooked in coconut and a paratha.
I am still salivating as I write this review on the morning after.
Very friendly as well
K. P.
Great food, you get alot for your money. The staff are very passionate about food and go out of their way for you. Would definitely return.
T. M.
Nice food, very tasty, willing to modify order.
C. M.
Excellent food, staff and ingredients. Would definitely recommend the traffic chicken. They were also kind enough to make a special dish to order for my girlfriend.
K. H.
What an amazing place with friendly and attentive staff. The food is beautiful and the whole place has a friendly atmosphere. Good choice for vegan and vegetarians as well as meat eaters. Great all round place.
C. M.
Outstanding. Top quality food that had the true taste of Kerala. Staff are very welcoming and happy to advise and ensure a great experience.
N. R.
Absolutely delicious food, everything was cooked perfectly however there was a mountain of plastic packaging left over from our take away... Is there any chance of more ecologically sound packaging in the future?
F. R.
Lovely meal here on a busy Saturday night. We enjoyed everything - food and drinks and the staff were great too.
d. c.
Delicious. Good choice of vegetarian dishes, went with a recommendation Dhosa and it was amazing. Service was excellent. Definitely would visit again.
J. H.
Really quick service and socially distanced tables.
I really liked their menu as it has a lot of traditional Indian stuff on there. I would recommend trying the Kerala Paratha instead of naan bread and I had the duck tharav mappas which was really tasty.
A. O.
In a snapshot few words... What a fantastic addition to Fossgate. Absolutely brilliant food and service from the team at Kalpakavadi! A party of 10,we went for our Christmas work do and we all had a fantastic time. The poppadom selection was different than the usual Indian, very crunchy and tasty! We shared a bunch of starters, all went down well the group. Traffic chicken was so succulent, we were all fighting over the chicken! And we all had different main meals ranging from salmon to mutton and all inbetween. Not your average Indian restaurant but that's what makes it great! Definitely worth a visit next time you're down fossgate. I'll be going again!
N. P.
Superbly authentic Kerala restaurant ..very understated find ...please try ...awesome
G. C.
First time using this restaurant and absolutely brilliant, I was called prior to advise they didn't have an item but they arranged a lovely substitute. Food was amazing and really tasty and portions good size and delivered right on time, would definitely use again.
P. P.
Nice option for indian food...should improve taste...otherwise staff members are nice n friendly..ambience is also good...
L. M.
Cracking place, not just another curry house but a completely different experience. Great service, great atmosphere and stunning food. Already booked to go back and can't wait to work our way through the whole menu.
J. R.
This is a restaurant that is new to York's city centre.
Visited it ladt night, the food was super and tasty, the customer service was out standing, they love having their regulars to come along and also new customers.
The must try is the Dosa this like pancake style with a potato filling highly recomend this
A. M.
2nd visit and equally as good this time round. The food is fantastic and really friendly staff. One of the best restaurants in York....An absolute must.
D. T.
Excellent authentic South Goan food .
T. B.
Oh such a good Indian restaurant, sister restaurant of the Coconut Lagoon, best South Indian restaurant in York. Those 2 restaurants are the only worth to go in York if you want authentic South Indian cuisine!
s. l.
It was so lovely to find a proper South Indian restaurant. The food and service was excellent.
T. J.
Best curry in York! Real authentic southern Indian cuisine, great service and cracking atmosphere, went for the first time a few weeks ago and went back again, great menu. Will be recommending to everyone!!!
V. L.
First time in here, absolutely fantastic, food was amazing, tried stuff we have never had before. Will definitely be back🙂 staff so amazing even though was so busy🙂
M. P.
Really tasty authentic food, deep rich signature Kerala flavours, recommend the crab curry and mutton railway curry. Ample portions and the staff are a bit slow but overworked, just be patient if it is busy. Be paying 20-25 pp for curry, rice, poppadoms and 2 pints. Luvleh jubbleh
T. R.
Very nice food and friendly staff.
V. P. G.
This is one of the proper Indian and kerala style restaurant. Food was good. Good seating capacity. Varieties of food available. Clean Toilets.
J. H.
Great service and tasty food. Party of 6 all enjoyed eating out here. Definitely recommended.
C. H.
Very expensive (£13 for just the curry!) and lacking in atmosphere. However, the food was VERY nice. The duck curry was tremendous and the fish curry was cooked to perfection. Service was very good too.
D. P.
Hands down the best curry in York. Fish and mutton curries are always excellent. Great service and even the complementary chutney and poppadoms are delicious.
M. M.
Food was good, especially liked the chilli paneer. The only criticism was that we all received our main dishes at the same time except one of our party whose main arrived some 25 minutes after ours.
B. X.
Being an Indian, I have high expectations from Indian food served.
Honestly, I was amazed by the taste of food served!
It is authentic and at the same time very different from other Indian restaurants. It feels like you are having something that the chef has put in effort to prepare- and not the standard tikka and butterchicken.
We ordered traffic chicken(weird name :)), non veg platter, stuffed fish, parota, garlic naan, beef roast, ladiesfinger fry(veg option)and chicken gravy dish(dont remember the name- malliarachida something)
All the dish were amazing and very different conpared to anything we have eaten before. Not spicy and at the same time, full of floavours.
My personal recommedation is the stuffed fish, it is something i have never had before especially the gravy.
Kudos to the team behind Kalapakavadi. You are doing justice to Indian food! I am definetely coming back.
Regards,
Ben
P. M.
Delicious first time trying South Indian cuisine. Service was excellent and gracious . Do pop in you will be surprised.
A. O.
Best indian restaurant in York by far, Food is delicious and definetely different to standard indian restaurants. I'd recommend the seafood/fish curries, as they were surprisingly tasty. Staff is very friendly.
m. s.
If you want to taste a southern Indian curry then this is where to go. The food is brilliant, something you will not have experienced before. Widen your horizons and try. You will not be disappointed.
I. H.
Amazing menu, exceptional quality and originality in the menu...attentive service and friendly team. Imaginative and authentic menu, exceptional cookery.
G. T.
Excellent service and the food was lovely, made us feel welcome,the only thing that let it down was the atmosphere as it was very quiet and had no music playing, other than that everything was great.
D. M.
Friendly staff who went the extra mile to please us. Food was great and they also cooked a dish for us that wasn't on their menu.
b.
Great experience having travelled extensively through India this restaurant brought back such good memories food very good except for the Calamari, would defo go back 😀

(Translated) I liked the dinner very much, we ate curry with chicken and curry with fish, they were afraid of very intense, varied and balanced flavors. Service ok, no complaints, although not sensational.
(Original)
Obiad bardzo mi smakował, jedliśmy curry z kurczakiem i curry z rybą, obawiały bardzo intensywne, różnorodne i wyważone smaki. Obsługa ok, bez zastrzeżeń, chociaż nie rewelacyjna.
R. M.
(Translated) Great food and plenty of time for clear explanations. A bit of a shame was the very loud music.
(Original)
Geweldig gegeten en ook alle tijd voor duidelijke uitleg. Beetje jammer was de zéér harde muziek.
