Contemporary Indian food in York! Last night we tried @atithiyork as we‘ve driven past it so many times and always wanted to try it, we’re so glad we did - they had such an extensive but interesting menu… we’re definitely going back, they had a curry made in a giant Yorkshire pudding😯
The only thing we would say is the service was on the slow side, it took us an hour to get our starters, but at least the food was nice and fresh and our waiter was very pleasant.
Here’s some of the things what we got:
Poppadoms & Pickle Tray
Flaming Lamb Chop 🌟
Bhindi Masala
Indian street style Lamb Buna 🌟
Chicken Sindhu curry 🌟
Overall, we’ll give it a 8.3/10 as the food was delicious
I went here while on a visit to York, and was really impressed. You can tell straight away how much care has gone into the place, decor, menus, even the cuttlery is lovely. It really is beautiful.
Service was great, food arrived promptly (despite my ordering four things), presentation again was really nicely done. The food itself was delicious, some of the best I've had and I am a frequent eater of Indian cuisine. It managed to incorporate little fresh elements and the balance of flavours was delightful.
Overall, it felt like a truly special occasion for what, to me, seemed like an extraordinarily reasonable price. I'd highly recommend the restaurant to any enjoyer of Indian food, or anyone just looking for a special experience.
Fantastic location
Friendly staff
Economical price
And an extraordinary taste.
When everything works, its a great experience and would definitely recommend to anyone, a come back to this restaurant is a no-brainer.
When you eat at certain places, you just feel sometimes the food varieties seem similar or its very heavy in fat/oils, but this tasted so fresh and yummy and delicious.
It was a wholesome thali after a long time.
Apparently they were trying newer lunch options, our verdict = taste+service+location+price = deservedly 5 stars.
My wife and I had a meal at Atithi prior to going to a theatre show on 19th March 2024.
The service and food were excellent. There were no faults. We both very much enjoyed the experience. Nice relaxing ambience and great food. This was our second visit to this lovely restaurant and both visits were faultless. NB: We had 2 starters, 3 main courses(2 lamb and a vegetarian) between us and my wife had a roti. We also had 2 beers each to explain the final bill total which was £69 including 10% tip. The food alone is reasonably priced.
A big thank you to the staff from us both. We'll be back soon.
Decided to try this small Indian restraunt in York, I love Indian food and I must say the food did not disappoint. Starter well presented and main was the chefs special Sindhu chicken curry, followed with boiled rice and garlic Naan. . The Sindhu was lovely, well presented and enough for 1 person. Fair priced and followed with coffee. .
As I'm traveling on business I make sure I follow as close to the £25 mark so the starter, mains came to £20 and for the quality that's fair. . I them topped off with a coffee... one business supporting another.
Small and well laid out with a good window view, very nice indeed.
I would recommend this place for young love couples as it has a romantic side to it and groups. I will be attending again.

3 nights in York, this is close to our hotel so as we both love Indian food this was first night. We were the first customers in that evening. We both had starters and a main that were all er . . . demolished. There was nothing left ! I appreciate that if you have your favorite Indian meal at one restaurant it will be different at the next, or even if you make it from scratch at home. So expect different.
Service was good, staff friendly and attentive.
The surroundings were good and comfy.
What we didn't like:
They have glass top tables and there was a lot of food debris under the glass top around the whole perimeter. Daily lifting and cleaning required there.
That aside - give them a visit
Delicious Indian cuisine is what atithi brings to you. I am a starter and dessert person. And this place gives the best starters in York (according to me).
I ordered "Tandoori chicken Leg". It was well cooked, juicy nicely grilled, and the smokey tangy taste was heavenly. I ended my meal with soft , sweet and hot gulab jammun (had a home-cooked taste). Lastly do try the mouth melting coconut ice cream served in actual coconut shell.
If you are looking for good Indian food and and seeking amazing starters, Atithi is you place in York. (Main courses are good too as told by my friends)
Popped in before the concert at the Barbican,didn't book,was given a table by luck,next couple in were not so lucky.
Had a really great meal and a few drinks, service was excellent .Great variety of meals and a cosy atmosphere.
Would definitely recommend and suggest you book a table as not to be disappointed.
Really authentic. The best mango lassi I had for a very long time. The plain Naan bread is so homemade and tasty.
We had early bird 5-7pm offer which was very good price.
We ordered
Mango lassi
Handi Manthi king prawn
Chicken korma
Prawn burger 🍔
We had a lovely family celebration at Atithi York. It was our first time at the restaurant. The service, the quality and authenticity of the food was exceptional. We will definitely be going back again. Highly recommended!
