Cheap Places to Eat in River Nidd

"The Malayalam word ‘tharavadu’ roughly translates as keeping traditions alive – and that’s certainly the ethos of this charming Keralan restaurant, which you’ll find just across the road from Leeds train station. They cover a wide variety of southern Indian dishes, among which you’ll find some unusual treats. Time Out tip: Look out for crab cooked in coconut sauce, excellent fried lentil doughnuts and toffee-filled steamed rice cake."

"A post shared by Tharavadu (@tharavadu) on May 17, 2017 at 10:39am PDT. Tharavadu loves to shout out that it’s Michelin recommended, but I completely understand, because they wholeheartedly deserve their success. Their menu is blummin' massive and they are not sparing with their vegan options."

"This Michelin guide–recommended restaurant is the go-to for a classy South Indian meal in Leeds city centre, with a Keralan menu that’s heavy on fish curries and regional specialities such as whole crab and... International in Leeds"

"Bar, bakery and as the name suggests, former boathouse, this waterside joint overlooks the canal and is ideally located for a pre or post-lunch family stroll. Board games will keep young visitors well occupied, although their attention may well be diverted by the arrival of Small Victories’ amazing sourdough pizzas. These bad boys are freshly made on site, so feel free to ask for a smaller size if your kids aren’t able to polish off a full portion."

"Overlooking the River Aire at Granary Wharf, Water Lane Boathouse is one of the best alfresco dining spots in Leeds. It’s great when the sun’s shining, but don’t worry, they have heaters and covered seating too. Their menu takes a two-pronged approach – Neapolitan-style sourdough pizza, made in a hand-crafted Italian oven, and juicy burgers, stacked high with everything from Yorkshire beef to Magic Mountains vegan patties."

"Water Lane Boathouse sits on the banks of the Leeds Liverpool Canal with cracking views over the water. It comes from the team behind Headrow House and Belgrave and it’s cool-as-heck, with original brickwork and minimalist decor. Take a pew in their amazing outdoor area, where you can sit and enjoy one of their many craft beers and artisan gins overlooking the water."

"If you’re after a flavour of Independent Harrogate at its best, it’d be an oversight to not pay Starling Independent Beer & Coffee House a visit. As you might have gathered from the name, as well as a healthy passion for beer, they’re also on hand with a great selection of delicious locally sourced coffee. Craft beer, gin and fine wines are complemented with tasty food and a great, relaxing atmosphere."

"Pop into Starling for a morning brew and you could easily end up staying until bedtime. After all the coffee machine is dialled in and always ready for action until closing time.Add a phenomenal selection of 16 draught beers, a well stocked beer fridge, a mean gin shelf and stunning fine wines, you...See more"

"The Shambles Kitchen dishes up a few other items (cakes and smoothies, wraps, a daily soup such as chickpea, lentil and harissa), but there is no doubting the main draw: its pulled pork sandwich. Dripping in its own juices and long on flavour, the meat is slow-cooked for 12 hours and served on fat buns with a peppy raw slaw and a choice of sauces – go for the smoked apple. At £5.50 a pop, these are not particularly cheap baps, but it is tasty tackle and you are putting money into a business where, in stark contrast to the many chains which crisscross York, everything is cooked from scratch using local ingredients."

"If a restaurant sells out of everything on the menu most days, you can make a safe bet for the place being either fairly disorganised or fairly popular. Luckily, the latter is true of York’s fabled sandwich shop, Shambles Kitchen. A sandwich you’ll need a wheelbarrow to shift will set you back no more than 7 quid and the ever-changing menu ensures there is something new and tasty each time you swing by."

"Not exactly a hidden treasure but it’s well known for a reason. Whether you’ve got dietary requirements or picky eaters, if you’re in a group where everyone wants something different, then this is a great option. Just remember to wear a jacket."

"Bad Boy has made a name for itself in recent years thanks to its juicy burgers and they come piled high with all kinds of toppings. For example, the Triple Bad Boy is a beef burger stacked with bacon, pulled pork, Monterey Jack, gherkins, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and Bad Boy’s signature sauce. You don’t have to get a burger, though."

"Once Across The Garden is a catering company based in York, and each Saturday have a stall at The Shambles Market serving delicious vegan cakes, cupcakes, tray bakes, millionaire’s shortbread and other delicious treats. You can also find a great selection of vegan-friendly food at Holland & Barrett if you want to cook something for yourself at your aparthotel."

"The York Assembly Rooms is a listed historical building and one of the most influential pieces of architecture of the early 18th century. Perhaps the earliest example of neoclassical design in Europe, the Rooms emerged as part of the city’s new wave in design replacing the dark Gothic style. The building was masterminded by Richard Boyle, Lord Burlington, as an establishment of leisure for the upper class after a group of York’s gentry approached him with a request to create a place to accommodate dance parties, card games and other social activities."

"The Strawberry mojito was the best cocktail I had all weekend also. 28/05/2021: Really impressed with this place. The Assembly Room is a fantastic building and the staff were excellent going over and beyond to advise re a food allergy."

"The website defaults to the menu in Japanese, which says to me that this restaurant is catering to the large number of Japanese visitors we receive. I’d say that it does not get more authentic than that!. If you want sushi like it’s served in Japan, then this looks ideal."
