New Indian restaurant tamatanga to open in Leeds after chain's success in the Midlands

There are already existing tamatanga restaurants in Nottingham, Leicester and Birmingham, with the new Yorkshire site being the first one based outside of the Midlands.

Creative Director Mona Kular said: ‘We’re absolutely thrilled to be bringing our food to a city as vibrant as Leeds.

"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 will have 160 covers; 40 in the bar and 120 in the restaurant.

A spokesperson said: “The new restaurant will feature fun, eye catching interiors similar to the vivacious designs seen in their other award-winning locations, all of

which take inspiration from the vibrant streets of India.

"The mouth-watering 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.”
