Tapasya Restaurant and Bar - Hull

First time at Tapasya so.... Booked for a Monday evening and as expected, and like most restaurants, will always be quiet, however, three tables covered so some 'atmosphere ', the staff were very attentive and friendly, and the food really was delicious. Unlike most Indian restaurants the menu is quite small, so they can make sure each dish is very good and freshly prepared. The web image is for 'Indian fine dining '. Yes, it certainly seems to be! I haven 't tasted Indian food as good as this for a very long time, nor had napkins placed on my lap in any Indian restaurant! The waitresses just glide up to your table and replenish your drinks without you realising they have been there. Will definitely return in the near future, good stuff.

As always with Tapasya, lovely food, excellent service and something a bit different this time their own private gin festival! Fab evening.

The food at this restaurant was outstanding. The chicken was juicy, the lamb was tender, and the sauces were both spicy and fragrant. The rice and nan were cooked to perfection. The drinks were served elegantly, and when they didn't have the gin we wanted, they provided us with a comprehensive list of alternatives. We went on a Saturday evening and despite it being busy, the service was efficient. The only downside was the noise level. The chatter echoed and it was difficult to hear each other at a normal volume, becoming nearly impossible towards the end of the evening. If you're looking for a quieter experience, it's best to avoid Saturdays. However, the delicious food makes up for it.

Have been once before and I was a little bit disappointed probably because my expectations were so high. I brought two friends from out of town here to show them something different and more upmarket from their usual visits. They , and I were so impressed even from the minute we walked through the door. Went for the taster with wine option but we could have had gins from the festival. We couldn't fault a course or the accompanying wine. Definitely coming back with my wife.

The restaurant was quiet but it built up steadily. We were well looked after and not being expert with Indian food, we had good assistance in food choice. The food came as described and in good time and was very tasty. The menu was very varied and comprehensive. A well conducted restaurant.
