Goan Prawn Curry: A Taste of Goa in Leeds
How we make our Goan prawn curry, and where to find authentic Goan food in Leeds. Coconut, kokum and coastal spice, straight from Goa to Headingley.
Read MoreAn immersive sanctuary built for the night. Unapologetic, heritage-spiced plates paired with masterfully architected cocktails. Forget everything you know about Indian dining in Leeds.
We started in the backstreets of Bombay and followed the coast down to Goa, and somehow ended up on Headingley Lane. Bombay 2 Goa brings that whole journey to one table: sizzling street food like vada pav and pav bhaji, slow-cooked curries, and Goan coastal classics, all in a warm, retro Bollywood setting. Family-run, generous portions, and a welcome that makes you feel like a regular from the very first visit.

The Chef's Selection
Slow-coastal Goan curries and the smoky drama of the tandoor.

The dining room comfortably seats 80 and works just as well for an intimate family birthday as it does for a full-floor takeover. We will work with you on a tasting menu, drinks, and timings, the food does the rest.
