Our Heritage
Your Local Indian Restaurant in Headingley, 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
Six dishes that tell our story

MATCH DAY
A Short Walk from Headingley Stadium
Been to the cricket at Headingley or watched the Rhinos under the lights? We are just down Headingley Lane from the ground, about a fifteen-minute walk or a five-minute taxi. Come in after the final whistle for proper post-match food and drinks: loaded Bombay street food, big curries, Goan coastal specials and a full bar of cocktails, beers and wine. We open at 5pm every day except Tuesday, so we are made for evening fixtures and after-match catch-ups. If there is a match on, book ahead, it fills up fast. Finished a Test day around tea-time? Our Happy Hour runs 5pm to 7pm.
