Tharavadu

Roughly translated, “tharavadu” means keeping traditions alive and that’s just what they do at this lovely Keralan restaurant, across the road from Leeds city station. A wide selection of south Indian dishes include delicately spiced novelties such as whole crab cooked in coconut sauce, fluffy fried lentil doughnuts and toffee-filled steamed rice cake. In other words, not your run-of-the-mill curry house.
