Arti

A rainy sunday afternoon, not knowing what to do we went around Roundhay to do a bit of Indian shopping. As we walk past Arti, we decided to stop and have our lunch there. We have heard of this restaurant before but never got an opporturnity to drop in.

As we walked in we were welcomed by the manager, who guided us to our table and handed over the menu. We were quite suprised to see idli, vada- sambar, varities of dosa in the menu apart from the regular having veg & nov veg option in starter and main course dishes. Vijay immediately decided on the vada- sambar and i had a masala dosa. It did take a bit of time for them to serve the food, which is understandable coz the restaurant was not busy and these were one off order.

I must say that that wait was worth while. The vada was soaked in hot sambar with generous amount of chutney splashed on it. My dosa was came the potato filling along with chutney and sambar. I was done with the dosa, but vijay went ahead to try their Gurathi Thali. It was served with poories, brinjai sabji, dall, kadi, rice, amras, salad, pickle and chutney. Wow! amazing is the word, It was not "jatka cooking" for sure. Enough care was taken to prepare each and every dish and suprisingly they bill was just £17.00 !


To end with i would like to say we haven't had such a delicious Indian food at a restaurant in Leeds. It's definetly worthy many more visits.
