Garden Of India - York

I’ve been to the Garden of India several times now. The food is always brilliant and is matched by the fantastic service.

EXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE It’s been a couple of years since we came to The Garden the quality of food has been maintained by Ali in the kitchen his front of house staff are second to none. Tasty, authentic and not to be missed if you live in York or just visiting. Almost spoilt by a knob on his mobile phone why would you have a twenty minute conversation whilst in a restaurant? Clearly no mates or full of his self importance (see you next Tuesday). We will return.

We visited early evening prior to going to the Barbican. I ordered a beef dopiaza and shami kebabs for starter. My friend had a meat balti dish and chicken chaat as a starter. We also had popadoms and pickle tray. We were the only diners in the restaurant. To put it mildly my shami kebabs were very small, awful, dry and obviously warmed up from the previous day. My fellow diner said the chicken chaat was tasteless. My dopiaza was not up to what I am used to, high on onions very little meat content. My friend said his Balti was bland. To top it all a waiter leaned over me and started to wipe the table down while we were chatting and finishing our. Our bill came to over £70. They wouldn’t survive in my hometown of Bradford.

We enjoyed the meal. Fine and tasty. Hot and spicy. Friendly staff and a good evening. We ordered three different dishes and they were all really good. Thank you.

Just thought I would try. First experience Terribly welcome! Waiter sounded very dismissive and very difficult to accommodated my request Sadly I walked out A loss of earnings for the venue for such poor service
