Indian bar and restaurant to create new jobs with Leeds city centre venue launch

Following the success of its Nottingham, Leicester and Birmingham eateries, Indian restaurant tamatanga, beloved for its “hearty, home-style” Indian food, will open its doors in Leeds this month with bookings now open here

Scheduled to open on Friday June 16, tamatanga’s next eatery will be located on The Headrow in the heart of central Leeds. The new restaurant will feature “fun, eye-catching” interiors similar to the vivacious designs seen in its other award-winning locations, all of which take inspiration from the vibrant streets of India.

The food menu offers a mix of both the familiar and the slightly less expected and many classic dishes updated with a modern twist. Everything is made using real, homely Indian recipes served up with speed and minimal fuss or fanfare.

The tamatanga thali has become something of a signature dish; this large variety platter offers the choice of one or two different curries from the menu whilst the rest of the dishes are created and changed daily by an expert all Indian kitchen team using local, seasonal ingredients.

The menu has been carefully crafted to include a wide variety of meat, vegetarian, vegan and gluten friendly dishes. The salads and grill plates “pack a punch” and come loaded with healthful ingredients such as butternut squash, quinoa, avocado and chickpeas.

A “provocative” range of carefully crafted cocktails is on hand to cool things down, ranging from the Peachy Blinder to the Wray’s Sorbet which blends tequila, strawberry cream soda and Wray and Nephew overproof rum.

tamatanga creative director Mona Kular commented: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be bringing our food to a city as vibrant as Leeds this month. Our fresh, homely, and very real approach to cooking is perfect for lunch, dinner and anything in between. From warming curries to flavourful salads and heavenly small plates, there’s something for everyone.’’

‘‘And with incredible cocktails, great music, and a seriously cool vibe, tamatanga makes any occasion a great one. We’re really looking forward to welcoming our first Leeds diners. tamatanga is the place to eat and drink Indian style.’’

The new restaurant has 160 covers, 40 in the bar and 120 in the restaurant, and will create 50 new jobs. Keep an eye out on tamatanga’s social channels for details of their launch date, bottomless brunch, and other events.
