Indian Restaurants in Castleford
1. Tharavadu
Indian restaurant in Leeds
7- 8 Mill Hill - LS1
“You are transported straight to Kerala with the depth of flavors, impeccable service, and warm, welcoming atmosphere” at this eleven-year-old Leeds favourite, which is in the top-20 most commented on destinations in our annual diners’ poll outside London (although “as your last edition said, you’d walk past it if you did not know about it”). “With South Indian cuisine still under-represented in many UK cities, Tharavadu not only fills this gap but sets a gold standard for authenticity and execution, so it’s no surprise that it’s frequently hailed as one of the best Indian restaurants in the North”. “Service is polished yet personal” and “the team seem to take genuine pride in explaining the dishes, and recommending pairings”. It’s a “comfortable” place too with a “great atmosphere, as it’s packed out”. This year, they opened a sibling called Uyare – see also. Top Menu Tip – “The dosas are among the best you’ll find outside of India – crispy, golden, and generously filled, whether you opt for the classic Masala Dosa or the indulgent Cheese & Chilli Uthappam. The Meen Pollichathu, a Kerala-style fish dish wrapped in banana leaves, is an absolute must-try, showcasing the kitchen’s ability to balance bold spices with subtle, aromatic undertones. Vegetarians are spoilt for choice too, with standout dishes like the Kadala Curry (black chickpea in a rich, coconutty sauce) and the Avial, a delicately spiced mixed-vegetable curry that feels both wholesome and indulgent”.

4. Bundobust
Indian restaurant in Leeds

“Epic, authentic Indian street food that’s so moreish” is paired with craft beer (much of it from their own brewery in Manchester) at Mayur Patel & Marko Husak’s student-fave haunt, which started out here at Mill Hill in 2014 and has expanded to three more sites. “The best of the best when it comes to street food – a real taste of India”, many a guest does not even register that the Gujarati-based menu is entirely vegetarian or vegan. Top Tip – “the chaat is unbelievably addictive!”.

Nisha Katona’s Liverpool-based operation has two branches in London (Charlotte Street and Westfield Stratford) offering her “very tasty” Indian street food – “with the occasional hint of raw spice”. The Lancashire-born former barrister launched the business in 2014 and now has 28 outlets around the country, whose “enjoyable, authentic food” is “really great for a chain”.

It’s split over two floors, with a brighter downstairs and more cosy first floor. Dishes such as Saufiana Octopus with Fennel Salad and Grape Chutney or Salli Murgh (Chicken Thigh, Apricots, and Aromatic, Crispy Fried Potato Straw) mark out the non-standard collection, which can also be sampled as a five-course tasting menu.
