Tharavadu to open staggering new rooftop restaurant and bar in Leeds city centre
The sky is quite literally the limit for Leeds’ acclaimed restaurant Tharavadu, which has just announced a brand new venture.
The award-winning South Indian restaurant is set to launch a new rooftop restaurant and bar, taking over the old Issoh site at Victoria Gate.
The huge new space, UYARE, will be serving up the rich flavours and spirits of Kerala, in an impressive environment spanning 7,000 sq ft.
UYARE’s rooftop restaurant will also be home to a new bar, Agni, with a curated selection of fine wines, champagnes, crafted cocktails and local craft beers.
The Tharavadu team will split the space into district areas, from the Bhoomi ‘Earth’ restaurant with small plates style of dining to the ‘Fire’ bar which has plans to host exclusive themed nights.
There’ll be space inside for up to 300 guests, plus an impressive 15-person private dining room.
On the menu you’ll find all the time-honoured techniques that have earned Tharavadu so much critical acclaim over the last decade, with an array of traditional Keralan dishes.
Siby Jose, founder of Tharavadu, shared: “As Leeds is our hometown, we are deeply committed to staying local, and it’s a privilege to be part of this vibrant community.
“Opening our second venue, UYARE, in Leeds city centre is a significant milestone for us—a chance to celebrate our roots and offer something unique for the people of Leeds.
“This prime location in the city allows us to meet growing demand from our loyal customers, expand our offerings, and remain true to what we do best, delivering an authentic, flavourful, and memorable South Indian dining experience.”
With UYARE, Tharavadu strengthens its commitment to Leeds, showcasing the diversity of South Indian cuisine in a space designed to provide both familiar comforts and new experiences.
