Indian Ymca Dining Hall

Restaurant hall inside the YMCA hostel open to non-guests. I work locally and visit the Indian YMCA Restaurant 1-2 times per month. This is very much a canteen experience, fold-away chair tables/self service on trays/no waiters (no tipping required) other than the chaps clearing the tables. During week day lunch they normally have 10-15 food options that you collect from the kitchen window and pay for at the cashier, each option is £4-6 so expect to pay £12-£15. As a ++large man I normally go for rice, 1 chapati, 2 curry dishes and a bhaji portion which cost around £21 total. The food is authentic Asian fare spicy but not excessively. Whilst it is a canteen, there is a awning covered outside area that is far more quiet than the canteen. If you like authentic Indian food, are happy to forgo the restaurant atmosphere and are in the area I would recommend the Indian YMCA Restaurant

We went with family and kids on a Sunday afternoon for lunch after a tiring day out. It was a £13 set menu on weekends for lunch. Paid at the reception, kids under 10 go free. Went in for the self-service, the person at the counter served the food with generous portions consisting of lamb curry, 2 different veggies, dhal, rice, big Chapatti and Mango Lassi. Food tasted as home cooked food even kids enjoyed the meals. Be mindful of their serving times before you reach there. Since they close their serving 30mins before closing time.
