Description:
Coconut Lagoon is a relaxed, family-run restaurant specialising in the bold and aromatic cooking of South India. The menu travels through Kerala with crisp dosas, coconut-rich curries, seafood, biryanis and traditional dishes such as appam with duck curry. There is plenty for vegetarians and vegans too, with some dishes served on fresh banana leaves for an extra touch of authenticity.

​

Make a Day of It:
Walk the city walls from Bootham Bar to Monk Bar, explore the streets around York Minster and browse the independent shops along Gillygate before heading to Coconut Lagoon for dinner. Order a dosa for the table, choose something rich with coconut and curry leaves, then accept that sharing the last piece of paratha was always an unrealistic plan.

​

The Tidy Take:
Coconut Lagoon is where York goes when an ordinary curry will not quite do. The flavours are deep, fragrant and properly distinctive, the dosas arrive ready to cause table envy and the seafood deserves attention. Go hungry and let the coconut do the heavy lifting.
