Jason Chinnian “Jay Cee” There Was A Time Productions
It's been a long, long time since I've eaten here. But I soon realised I should have eaten here much more often over the years. The food was absolutely outstanding.
The Tandoori Mixed Grill that I had was divine. The meat was succulent, tender, and full of flavour. The sauce they provided helped enhance the flavours along with the Keema Rice.
All in, it was £20 each.
Fabulous value for a restaurant in York.
Highly recommend, and I will be back soon 👍🏾

The chhole puri chaat was different from what I was expecting. Very tasty nonetheless. Would be back to try their vegetarian dishes.
Chef's special Akhini curry served with saffron rice had a generous portion. Though the meat wasn't as tender as one might expect, overall it was yummy.

Amazing curry, lovely and talkative staff, and this beautifully quaint atmosphere that make me hate I don't live nearby. I feel like I'm in a high end expense restaurant but it's a well priced quaint little restaurant. Will definitely return next I'm in York.

We hadn't booked and the restaurant was more than happy to find us a table.
The staff were polite, food came out in good time and tasted great.
Definitely worth a visit if you like a good ole fashioned indian restaurant.

A short walk from our hotel. We both love Indian food and I make my own at home so off we went.
Now - I appreciate that my fav Indian meal will be different in every restaurant. So have an open mind and expect variation.
Pleasant decor, tables not too tight together.
Poppadom to start - the dips had some substance to them, not watery as at some place. All good.
We had lamb madras each. One portion of rice and one Nan. Its plenty for us.
The Madras was, as expected, hot and spicy, the amount of lamb generous and 'melt in the mouth' - beautifully tender.
And we had a cooling dessert.
We had drinks too - and the bill represented really good value.
Service - couldn't fault it. Staff were welcoming and friendly. It was also a joy to see 6-7 children also enjoying a curry.
Give it a go

Absolutely fantastic , despite the fact it was super busy , the staff worked super hard to please everyone and to deliver food and drinks in a timely manner. It was our 1st time here , but definitely not the last . The food was amazing, hot and full of flavour , chicken to die for . Amazing value for money as well .

I used to frequent this Indian restaurant in the late 90's. It was fabulous then and glad to see that it is still going strong. Well Done, staff were always great. Swift & Sure

Take away -1st time ordering from here. Not disappointed, lovely food, still hot enough to eat straight away-a bonus as I don't have a microwave😊
Will definately order again.

One of the best Indian takeaways and restaurants in York. 1st visit was amazing. No faults at all. All positives and staff were friendly.
2nd was a takeaway and again, spot on. Delivery time was a bit longer than normal, but it was worth the wait.
3rd takeaway not so great. Delivery time was good, however all of the food was crushed in the bag. Curry everywhere in the bag. Lamb Rogan didn't have an ounce of spice. Portion sizes weren't the same as what we've previously had. Nann bread was slightly undercooked. Not sure if the restaurant has different chefs through the week.
It's just odd how a restaurant goes from amazing with no faults at all, to racking up several issues on a Tuesday Evening.
I'll still be using Garden of India as my number 1 place to go.

Food was good, quick service but seemed a little rushed overall

Wide selection of Indian dishes (meat and vegetarian) and side dishes. Food was excellent, staff was friendly and service was fast. Very pleasant dining experience.

Absolute top marks ! Used to live near, this used to be my local curry house. It was amazing many years ago.
Dropped in tonight on the way home, and if anything it's better than it once was. Myself and my partner have sampled most curry houses in york including Mumbai lounge. This is the best by far, it was years ago and it still is today! Great food , great price and lovely staff. Can't wait to come back !!!!! Thank you 😊

My family works here and the ones who don’t love the food. A lot of famous people come here and stay a while

Group of 4 travellers from Melbourne, Australia who didn’t have a reservation on a busy night. The staff were so accommodating finding us a table. The service was fantastic and the food one of the best Indian meals we have had. If you are ever in York it is well worth the visit

Its been a long while since I was in the Garden . Really, really tasty chicken tikka jalfrezi. After some disappointing curies elsewhere ( Ackbars in Leeds , Mumbai Lounge , York and various so so takeaways ) this reminded me why I like a good curry. I wont be away for so long next time.

Ive be going here since 1996 (not every week though) original people still work there who are so lovely. The food is amazing - glad to see its always busy even early on - had to wait some time for the food so glad the poppadoms had time to go down - but the food is worth the wait
