Kerala on the Roof – Uyare Flies High Over Leeds
17 Jun 2025
A rooftop spot with sky-high flavours and Southern Indian soul – welcome to Uyare. Leeds, brace yourself. There’s a new foodie hotspot in town, and it’s just turned up the altitude and the attitude. Meet Uyare – the brand-new rooftop stunner from the team behind Leeds institution Tharavadu. And yes, we are already planning our next birthday there. Even if our birthday’s in February.
Kerala, but Make it Chic
If you’ve ever thought, “What this skyline view is really missing is a banging Keralan curry,” then first of all – same. And secondly – Uyare has answered the call. Sitting pretty above Victoria Gate, this is South Indian small plates meets sophisticated city swagger.
Expect beautifully presented dishes bursting with coconut, chilli, mustard seed, and good vibes. Everything’s designed for sharing – but we won’t judge if you “accidentally” forget to pass the mango prawns. Or the duck uthappam. Or literally anything.
Cocktails & Cardamom
It’s not just the food that’s got tongues wagging – the drinks menu is just as dramatic. Think aromatic cocktails with spice-laced syrups, tropical infusions, and a cheeky nod to Kerala’s toddy bars. And yes, they’ve got wine. Excellent wine. The kind you sip slowly while pretending you know what ‘minerality’ means.
As the sun sets over Leeds (or let’s be honest, as the drizzle fades briefly), the rooftop becomes the place to be. Views, vibes, vindaloo? Sorted.
More Than a Meal
Uyare isn’t just about eating – it’s an experience. You’re perched in the clouds, noshing on five-star dishes, while the city hums beneath you. It’s like being on holiday, only the taxis are pricier and you can pop to Primark afterwards.
And with impeccable service, luxe-but-laid-back decor, and a menu that keeps on giving, it’s safe to say Uyare is already climbing the ranks of Leeds’ restaurant royalty.
