   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!

   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.

   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.

   Authentic Keralite restaurant in York. A must try their Food,quality, taste everything is perfect and is full of flavours. The best part is they got King Fish fry which you hardly get anywhere in other restaurants in the North Yorkshire.

   No filter required for these colourful curries. First meal on York last night I went here. This is a Keralan Indian restaurant that has many dishes rarely found in standard Indian restaurants. As Kerala is very costal is opted for seafood choices. Poppadom for starters, Angamali Cheemeen Curry Curry (Prawns with Mango), Kappayum Meenum (fish with cassava on the side), Thenga Choru (coconut rice) and Kerala Paratha. These curries complimented each other well, one being spicy and the other sweeter. All of it was super delicious. I’d happily return to try more of their unusual dishes. Attentive customer service too. A must if in York.
