Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Excellent food. The mint raita was amazing and that was part of the starter. The lime pickle was just hot enough to catch your throat. I had lamb and potato and my wife chicken pakoras. I couldn’t choose between the two which was better. Main...course was chicken moilee, new to us and excellent. I would give the keema naan a 9. Always something to improve on though in this case very little. Definitely coming back.More

A very pleasant restaurant with some lovely food and a gentle ambiance. Really enjoyed it. My Sister enjoys spicy food but was worried the vindaloo jay be a bit hit as she wasn’t familiar with this restaurant and it was tempered to her taste perfectly...as everything prepared fresh. Nan was amazing. Great value too.More

A great little restaurant that has a menu with some different dishes that are a welcome change from the usual as well as all the favourites. Great flavours, nicely presented food, friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere. Samosas were possibly the nicest I've had, not...greasy like many, the Aloo Tikki was lovely, main courses were also very good, Lamb Sindhu curry and Jhinga Biryani both recommended . Definitely be back!More

If you are in this part of York, do try this place for Indian food. As the name suggests it is contemporary hence the food has a bit of a twist to it compared to typical indian cuisine. Would highly recommend this place.More

We visited the Atithi on Monday evening while we had a two night stay in York. The food we had was the BEST INDIAN FOOD that my wife and I had and we have visited over the years. The staff were excellent in their knowledge...and explanation as to our choices.The food was different to other restaurant offerings and this was also a well received change. We found the prices to be more than reasonable and real value for money. We would recommend the ATITHI to everyone looking for EXCELLENT FOOD at GREAT PRICES. See you all again ATITHI soon. Thank you for a great night on our break.More

Atithi Indian Restaurant in York continues to amaze with its exceptional vegetarian offerings, and every visit reaffirms my love for this culinary haven. First and foremost, let's talk about the Mango Lassi. It's pure perfection in a glass. The refreshing blend of ripe mangoes and...creamy yogurt is an absolute delight. The balance of sweetness and tartness is spot on, making it the ideal accompaniment to your meal or a refreshing beverage on its own. Now, onto the vegetarian dishes. Atithi truly excels in crafting vegetarian delights that feel like a warm embrace from home. The Dal Makhani is a prime example of this. It's rich, creamy, and infused with aromatic spices, just like the kind you'd find in a traditional Indian home kitchen. The slow-cooked lentils melt in your mouth, and each spoonful is a comforting journey through the heart of Indian cuisine. Paired with the fragrant Jeera Rice, it's a match made in culinary heaven. Paneer Tikka Karahi Masala- If you're a fan of paneer, this dish is an absolute revelation. The paneer cubes are marinated to perfection, imbued with smoky flavors from the tandoor, and then tossed in a rich, aromatic Karahi Masala sauce. And what better way to complement this culinary masterpiece than with Atithi's Garlic Naan? The naan is simply divine – soft, pillowy, and infused with the unmistakable aroma of garlic and butter. It's the perfect partner to soak up every last bit of that flavorful Karahi Masala sauce. The Hara Bhara Kebab is a must-try. It's a delightful combination of flavors and textures, with the perfect blend of spinach, peas, and aromatic spices. Each bite was a burst of flavor that left me craving for more. The menu boasts a diverse selection of Indian cuisine, with options to satisfy every palate, from mild to fiery. Whether you're a fan of creamy curries, sizzling tandoori delights, or vegetarian specialties like me, Atithi has something for everyone. The ambiance of the restaurant is another highlight. It strikes a perfect balance between a cozy, intimate setting and a vibrant atmosphere. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a meal with friends and family, Atithi's ambiance enhances the overall dining experience. In addition to the food and ambiance, Atithi also offers an excellent selection of beverages, including a variety of wines, cocktails, and traditional Indian beverages. It's the ideal place to unwind and enjoy a drink with your meal. If you're in York and in search of an authentic and memorable Indian dining experience, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Atithi. You won't be disappointed!More
