Uyare – Your Landmark Destination for Rooftop Dining in Leeds

published on: 20th august, 2025

Introducing Uyare: A New Era for Leeds Dining

Perched atop Victoria Gate, Uyare is more than a restaurant — it’s a landmark destination for Leeds dining. Created by the award-winning team behind Tharavadu, Uyare is Europe’s first Keralan rooftop restaurant, redefining how people experience Indian cuisine in the UK.

The word Uyare means “height” or “peak” in Malayalam, Kerala’s native tongue. And that’s exactly what Uyare represents: the pinnacle of Indian dining in Leeds.

A Restaurant & Bar Unlike Any Other

Uyare is split into two distinct worlds:

• Bhoomi (The Earth) – A refined restaurant space where authentic Keralan small plates are served with modern elegance.
• Agni (The Fire) – A vibrant 360° bar offering expertly crafted cocktails, fine wines, and premium beers, designed to rival any bar in London or Manchester.

This combination allows guests to choose their own experience — a casual evening with friends, a fine-dining celebration, or a lively night out with cocktails and music.

A Menu That Elevates Tradition

Indian dining in the UK has long been associated with heavy curries and predictable menus. Uyare breaks that mould. Here, the focus is on small plates— contemporary presentations of Kerala’s most vibrant dishes.

Expect bold seafood curries, spiced vegetarian dishes, crispy dosas, and inventive plates that combine the soul of South India with the sophistication of modern dining.

Uyare was designed to be versatile:

• Private dining for up to 15 guests.
• Full venue hire for weddings, corporate events, and celebrations of 300+.
• Casual evenings of food and cocktails with panoramic rooftop views.

Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, corporate event, or just a night out, Uyare is the best restaurant in Leeds for any occasion.
