This is bottomless brunch like you've never seen it before.
Entering a curry house is a true experience, unmatched by any other cuisine. We all know the feeling of walking in, breathing in the first scent of undetermined but delectable spices before finding your way to your table, mouth drooling as you pass through a sea of tables piled high with curries aplenty, rice bowls and naan hanging from just about every single corner.
At Tharavadu, you'll still get your usual curry order- except here you're served with the only Indian to feature on the Michelin-guide in 2019 with a menu loved by no less than the former Indian Cricket Captain Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma and Walking Dead star Andrew Lincoln.
And that's all before you've set your sight on the foodie options here.

The star-studded customers and endless accolades, including an Oliver Award and Good Food Guide recommendation, speak for themselves.
Now, the award-winning restaurant is serving up one of Leeds' greatest past times in the heart of the city centre.
Every Saturday, beginning this weekend on Saturday 14 May 2022, Tharavadu will be offering a bottomless brunch with unlimited booze and thali bowls to offer the best of their Keralan cuisine to the masses.

Meat and veggie thali is served up in sharing-style bowls alongside the curryhouse favourite lagers like Cobra and Kingfisher alongside a Kirstall Brewery exclusive named Somarasam.
Meaning 'drink of the gods', it's a refreshing 4% pilsner that was exclusively created by Kirkstall Brewery just 15 minutes from the Mill Hill restaurant to compliment the flavoursome menu.
In addition to these standout options, there's a choice of either house red or white wine, as well as gin and tonics for a whopping two hours.

Served 12pm - 2pm every Saturday, this is going to be a hugely popular option for those looking for a bottomless brunch with a difference in the city centre without having to compromise on the quality of their food for the sake of unlimited booze.
At a respectable price of £29.99, bookings should be made through Tharavadu to confirm a bottomless brunch well in advance- we expect this to be a sell-out favourite for weeks to come.

Get Baked’s viral ‘Bertha’ cake has a sister on the way – and she sounds just as cheeky
She's big, she's green and she's ready to ruin your figure.
A lot of you will have seen the viral ‘Bertha’ cake by Leeds born beloved sweet treat specialists Get Baked.
They recently opened another site in Manchester's Northern Quarter, where queues literally formed round the block of hungry punters wanting to get their hands on the infamous sugary treats.
And now it's going to happen all over again, as they've recently unveiled their newest flavour which is sure to go down a storm.
We’ll give you a hint: it’s a current food and drink trend that’s about as big as Bertha herself – it’s not matcha, it’s not hot honey (duh), and it’s not Guinness…

Yes—scratch that; HELL YES!Get Baked is set to welcome Bertha’s equally beautiful twin sister, and she’s officially a pistachio girlie.
Having started out life simply as ‘Bruce’, after taking inspiration from the iconic scene from Matilda, this thing has become a phenomenon in its own right, and who doesn’t like more flavours of a good thing?
Probably one of the biggest foodie crazes going at the minute, thanks to the popularity of pistachio cream, cookies, lattes and the similar social media sensation that is the ‘Dubai Pistachio Bar' people are rather fittingly going nuts for this particular flavour of almost absolutely anything.
With that in mind, the Leeds-born bakery and dessert shop – founded by Rich Myers over in Headingley back in 2011 – have shown no hesitation in hopping on the bandwagon and creating a new twist on their own viral menu item.
Teasing the full details in a post on their Instagram this week, they wrote: “What’s big, green, and is going to destroy your life in a couple of weeks’ time? Pistachio Bertha. Strictly limited to 5,000 slices. Coming oh so soon. GB.”
In case you were wondering just how mad those with a sweet tooth could possibly go for a slice of cake, just look at the recent queues when they finally launched in Manchester city centre:
Speaking on the grand opening here on our turf and his partner Amy’s hometown, Myers said simply: “Manchester, what a launch. Thanks for much for the warm welcome. Stay baked.”
