Quick info
About The Garden Of India
The Garden Of India is a halal restaurant on Fawcett Street in York, serving the familiar Indian menu of curries, biryanis, grilled meats and breads. The kitchen prepares butter chicken, garlic chilli chicken and chicken pekoras alongside biryani, with garlic naan, chapati and poppadums on the bread and starter side. Guests are met at the door with a handshake, and chapatis can be ordered individually to round out a meal. Main dishes sit around the £10 mark, with chapatis priced per piece, and the room takes walk-ins. The halal kitchen sets it apart for diners following that dietary requirement.

“Lovely food. Lovely staff. Great selection on the menu. Highly recommended”

“Service is very good, staff are very attentive and was met with a handshake at the door. Orders were taken and food took a while. The butter chicken was a bit sweet for my liking but the poppadums and garlic naan were on point. The garlic chilli chicken is what it says on the label, with good amounts of flavour and garlic which I had with 2 chappattis. The main selling point of this restaurant for me is the value for money as the main dish was ~£10 and 95p per chappatti. Chicken pekoras also ordered for £4.95 and received about 7 balls of fried goodness, honestly thought it was for one but can order for the table. Great experience.”
