We used to live in UK before move to Belgium. My husband always eat Indian food when we visit UK.
We stopped at York as a resting point while heading to Scotland. I found this restaurant on Google map (hence I shared my contribution as my gratitude. )
I chose this as the menu sounds interesting and lots of them I never tried. If you are up to a good surprise, this place might be for you. Enjoy!

We were visiting York and came across Kalpakavadi while looking for a good Indian restaurant, and it did not disappoint.
The food was outstanding. We loved the Wada Sambar, Masala Uttapam, and Paneer Tikka Masala, the paneer was fresh, the curry rich and creamy, and perfectly paired with garlic naan. The Masala Chai was the perfect finish and took me straight back to India.
The owner was very kind and attentive, always checking on guests and making sure everyone was happy. We enjoyed it so much that we returned the next day before heading home.
Highly recommended. Will definitely be returning.

Flavours are top-notch. The Biryani is excellent, and the rest of the ordered food tasted great. Well-balanced spices and aromantic, just how it should be with South Indian cuisine. Wonderful, I’ll be going back again if I’m in York. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are very welcoming.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend and it exceeded our already high expectations! This was genuine Keralan food made to order as we asked about items not on the menu. We had the Railway Mutton Dosa, Butter Chicken with sides. Fantastic service and thanks for our anniversary treat! Big shout out to Suryan! Great evening and we even took food home!

We ate here last night and I have never tasted food like this before, it was AMAZING!! This food is not your stereotypical Indian food and the menu has dishes we have never seen before. Lots of new spices and seafood options. What an experience it was. The restaurant was immaculate, the staff couldn’t do anymore to ensure we were happy, and the food was extremely memorable. The next time we visit York, we will definitely be returning here. Absolutely outstanding. Thank you

First time in the restaurant and I’ll definitely go back.
For a change it wasn’t an overwhelming large menu, but careful thought out choices of fish, meat or vegetable dishes.
There were 7 of us and we all enjoyed various items from the menu all which were delicious. There were also a different selection of rice’s and breads, with each main dish recommendations which side goes best with it.
We all had empty plates.
The service was attentive without being overbearing.
I would definitely recommend if you’re after a delicious & flavoursome curry.

As regular customers (we dine here at least twice a month), today’s experience at Kalpakvadi was the worst we’ve had, and it has completely changed my opinion of this restaurant.
We ordered Tattu Dosa, which normally doesn’t come with stuffing or chutneys. Whenever we order it, we pay extra for masala aloo, and the manager (who is always excellent) ensures we get enough to enjoy with the small dosas. Unfortunately, he wasn’t there today. Instead, the owner served us (we know she is the owner as we are regulars), and her service was very disappointing. She looked unhappy to take the order, never asked about spice levels or allergies, and came across unprofessional throughout.
When we asked for masala aloo, my boyfriend even said we’d pay extra. We were charged £6.99 for a tiny portion — a complete rip-off (bill attached). The owner did suggest masala dosa with the masala served separately, but we clearly said we like Tattu Dosa with masala. If she had explained the extra cost, we could have chosen differently.
My boyfriend, being a local business owner in York, asked me not to complain in person to maintain good relationships. But the poor service ruined our evening — we left and went to Everest Gurkha instead.
Many of the glowing reviews here are likely from tourists visiting once; as regulars, I can say consistency and customer service matter just as much as food. This review isn’t about seeking discounts, only to raise a concern. Sadly, I can no longer recommend Kalpakvadi.

Absolutely delicious food (not like any Indian I ever had !!) More spice/ fragrant flavours than heat (altho you could have heat if uou wanted) Had chilli paneer to start – wow (no other words needed) mutton biryani and a lovely chicken dish with coconut and spices – good sized portions too !! Absolutely recommended x
