Tapasya@Marina in Kingston upon Hull, City of

Absolutely spot on experience - had the Biriyani which was excellent - spice and flavour mixed very well together. Great service overall and great atmosphere.

Really nice place, modern, clean. Lovely food and great service.

Not your typical Indian Restaurant this is an order of magnitude better. So yes it costs more than many other Indian Restaurants, but if you value good food and good service. Then this is well worth visiting.

Great dining experience which I would highly recommend. We enjoyed a great location, food, service and atmosphere in which to celebrate in style. A big shout out to Manpreet and colleagues who looked after us on such a memorable occasion. Thank you, we will be back

Cannot believe this restaurant has over 4 star. Food isn’t great. I’m not sure as to why they charge 10% service charge when the service was horrible. Please train your staff to treat all the customers the same (if you know you know). Horrible. Will never visit again nor will I recommend anybody else to.

Good food. Friendly staff. Nice environment.

Smallest table, smallest rice portion. My lamb rogan josh contained more water than the north sea next to this restaurant. The table was dirty snd sticky, the restaurant was empty. 10% service charge for what exactly? I'm quite shocked thst this restaurant is over 4 stars. I wish i could give less than 1. Overrated, overpriced. Never, ever again.

We had a lovely vegetarian meal here.The food was served fairly quickly and was delicious. We will be returning

Excellent lunch menu, value for money, attentive staff and owner lovely surroundings

We go regularly, it’s just really good! The food is outstanding, staff are attentive and friendly. Location is perfect on the Marina

I think this was my first visit, and my what an experience! The food is to die for, but don’t expect your standard Madras, Rogan Josh, etc.* ! This is a culinary journey into authentic Indian dishes, all served with a polite and engaging flourish. We were fortunate to be part of a group visit, and were treated to some of the background story, which was most insightful! Drinks selection - particularly wine - was pretty special for a restaurant serving Indian food, but the dishes are exceptionally tasty and so well-presented. * - if you *do* want a traditional Madras or Rogan Josh, just ask and I’m sure they would do their best to accommodate more mainstream tastes for you!

If you decide against eating here you will massively miss out. This is not your bog standard curry. It’s exceptional. Curry meets fine dining with no exceptions. Quality ingredients freshly prepared to create a mind blowing plate of food for a really fair price. On top of that the wine list and service are absolutely spot on. Jame Bertie and Fran 👌

Highly recommend place for food lovers 😋

Fantastic food Good value too Very tasty

Ordered starters, mains and sides. My partner’s food portions were ridiculously small for what we paid. Service was terrible. I’ve been 3 times before and it’s been wonderful, this time was shockingly bad. I couldn’t even eat half of my main or the sides, I wasn’t uncomfortable in the environment. So we asked for a doggy bag, to take away our food etc, the waitress mixed 2 dishes together (don’t understand why) and forced it into a container, we hadn’t touched our naan bread and we didn’t get that back. We didn’t get over half of our food in the doggy bag. . . . I was glad to leave. We will not be coming back, I will not be recommending anyone to dine here either. There was only one waitress that was polite and kind to us, everyone else serving us was hit and miss, really didn’t enjoy the vibe at all and couldn’t enjoy the food at home as they’d mixed the dishes together 😢

Been treated with racism well poor nobody wanted take my order because I wasn't thier type nor a spender because it was for table for 1 they took drink order I watched they used a used glass from the drinks tray I didn't take a sip. please everyone watch what you drink out of or order from.

Food was nice but the drinks are expensive (Aperol Spritz £13.50!) I did raise this with the manager who was very reasonable and explained their measures policy. I still think they’re pricey and I strongly advise you to check the price list before you order.

Food was nice. But. Drinks were extortionate!!! £9.50 for an ordinary size glass of mediocre red wine

Professional and very polite service.

Awesome, simply awesome! The food was tasty, hot, and beautifully prepared. The staff were friendly, kind, and knowledgeable about the cuisine. The atmosphere was electric, and the views over the marina completed this wonderful eating experience. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny spent, great value for money isn't night, it's lived and experienced and is given at Tapasya@Marina.

Having been here before we were excited to bring friends who had never been. I booked a couple of weeks ago by telephone for 7pm - 31st aug. Arrived to be told , no its 8pm. I said we definitely booked for 7pm. They did find us a table downstairs. It was in the middle if the room. The tables for 4 are too small. When you get your drinks and your food on the table its very awkward. Service was hit and miss. New menu wasnt as nice as the previous time. My starter I picked as on menu it was supposed to be mild. It was very spicy and far too big . Thr other starters were very small. The mains were ok but mine was very small with lots of sauce. Waited ages with no one coming to see if we wanted dessert or more drinks. We asked for the bill , we were then asked if we wanted dessert. The service charge is already included otherwise we wouldnt have tipped.

A beautiful lunch out. Lovely ambience, friendly staff and delicious food. Great to try a little of various different foods on their Sunday special lunch menu. We will definitely return!

If I could give more than 5* I would. This was our first visit and opted for the Thali menu. The service was first class, the restaurant was beautiful and the food was exceptionally good. I can't recommend this restaurant enough and we will definitely be back very soon. Thank you Tapasya😁

Food delicious! Staff attentive. My first time and it was lovely

Best chicken tikka masala I've ever tasted, delicious mango lassi and rice pudding, at a very reasonable price on the lunch menu. This restaurant is an absolute must if you're in Hull!

Had dinner there, paneer as main Meal is expensive (13 for vegetarian main), average at best. Very gritty texture, feels like something is stuck in my throat the whole night after it, the next day had diarrhoea. Poor service- slow, needed to get food menus myself in the end, waitress spilled water over my friend, table was wobbly (which they put a little cardboard at the legs mid-meal) 100% not recommended, please go to another restaurant Edit: went to A&E a few days later as food was still stuck in throat. They had to remove it with forceps from throat - a small piece of herb from the curry. I’m not saying this will happen to you if you go eat there but my friends all agreed the paneer certainly a very gritty dish. From the comments of the restaurant they don’t seem to want to improve their dish as it receives “compliments and good feedback”. Just be careful. Also: I think the staff was friendly, but it was definitely not busy when I was there.

Real Indian taste, feels very authentic and aromatic food. If you are a foodie and keep a good appetite might you find the quantity is less.

I recently dined at Tapasya and my experience was disappointing. Despite requesting my dishes to be made less spicy, they were still quite hot. To mitigate the spice, the restaurant voluntarily provided me with yogurt, but I was unpleasantly surprised to find that I was charged for it on the bill. They also did not reduce it despite me mentioning it. Additionally, the dishes were not value for money. This left me with a bad impression of their customer service. I won't be returning.

It ok, but not fully Indian taste

Really tasty 'posh' indian restaurant in a lovely setting. Food was really tasty nice meats and fish. The lamb chops and sheek kebabs were awesome The only drawback for me was its a bit expensive i wasnt paying (business trip) and they put a service charge on the bill which i find a little american. I doubt the staff get it tbh. I would go back just for the lamb chops ...

Memorable, for all the right reasons, delicious!

Gorgeous resturant, food & drinks were fantastic. Service & staff were phenomenal. Thank you all for making our experience fantastic and enjoyable especially Manpreet who was our host for the night. Will be coming soon again I am sure :)

The only halal reaturant where I would like to dine again and again

STUNNING FOOD & EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE! So nice that there are still eateries that actually have passion and attention to detail. Thank you for a lovely dining experience!🥰

Lovely meal with brilliant vegetarian and non vegetarian food

Wow, fantastic place, we all had the tapas style Indian lunch, absolutely delicious Great service Highly recommend

Tapasya is a unique twist on a classic Indian restaurant, with many delicious dishes available. Everything that was ordered was expertly prepared and had an excellent range of flavours. The only criticism I would have is the portion size to cost ratio is difficult to justify when compared to other local restaurants.

Service was spot on, food delicious and perfect cocktails.

Amazing place! The "Mayfair" Indian restaurant of Hull

Fabulous, tasty food. Authentic flavours really enjoyed it.

The best Indian cuisine in Hull i had a best experience to try their dishes, good stuff

I had a dinner here and it was good.

Fantastic food. Really enjoyed it. Will be back soon

The food was good, but the service was terrible the waiter was rude with us since the beginning, I tried to order for all of us in the table, she interrupted me and said " I want to take the order for each one here 1 by 1", we said ok and told her our order, she interrupt us again and said " I will bring for you a share platter." We came here to eat food that we chose not what she choose for us!. Also she asked about the drinks, I told here I want cola light, when she came she said I dont know the cola for whom and just put it in the table and leave. She was rude and disrespected us in this restaurant. Also they added 10% service charge in my bill, idk why maybe because of the bad service that we had there.

Food was amazing. Lunch time thali was great value and absolutely gorgeous.

Tiny portions of food (I had the junglee kebab) and higher than average prices The wine list is far more extensive than the range of food, so that tells you where their priorities are. Over inflated ambition for an Indian restaurant, aiming to be upmarket but has clearly lost its roots. The taste of the food was nothing spectacular and fell short of anything memorable. India is THE home of spice and flavour, so where is it? Tapasya is a Sanskrit word that literally means "generation of heat and energy"... yet none from the lack lustre food. There is no coming back from an average taste... and for an Indian restaurant, that is a crime. If you're an experienced Indian restaurant diner, Tapasiya won't blow your skirt up.

Best paneer asparagus I ever had in a long time with a lot of chilli to flavor it. Hot green chilli.

We love our lunchtime Thali at Tapasya. Lovely selection of foods, which include starter, mains, naan bread and a dessert. A meat free option, too. A bit like a taster menu. Always absolutely delicious. Always very attentive staff. It's a huge restaurant with an upstairs gallery full of seating, too. Lunchtimes tend to not be too busy - at least the times we've visited. That doesn't detract from the dining experience. A beautiful restaurant very nicely furnished and set out. Mixed selection of 2, 4 and more settings. Bench seating as well as chairs. Lovely bar area fully stocked with an array of beverages. Open kitchen so you can see the chefs busy at their craft if inclined. Disabled toilet on the ground floor. Very nice toilet facilities upstairs for all other diners. Parking is available on street (if you're lucky) and there's a pay & display across the way from the restaurant.

Party of 12 on a Saturday night. Had a great night, the location is excellent and the weather was positively tropical. The restaurant looked nice. The food was inedible and when we politely complained the staff were rood and aggressive. Pretentious and certainly not Indian. Look elsewhere to end your hull evening.

Really nice Indian restaurant. Different mention to what you may expect, with presentation much improved from the typical "curry with rice". I opted for the tasting menu, which seemed the best way of seeing what the restaurant has to offer.

Very nice food, good service, ideal prior to nights entertainment down Humber Street

My wife and I had lunch. Tapas style and small portions. We had a glass of house wine each and then a bottle to share. The lunch menu is supposed to include a glass of house wine for an additional £3. When the bill came we had been charged £6 for a glass of house wine. When I queried this we were told we hadn’t made ourselves clear about having lunch so had been given a 175 m glass rather than the 125m included in the lunch deal. So we had been charged £3 for 50m of house wine. This is equivalent to a bottle of house wine costing £45. Suffice to say we’ll not be returning 😂

Called in for the thali lunchtime menu. Absolutely fantastic food, decent portion at a good price. Service low key and attentive. Needs more people in. Will undoubtedly be returning.

Had afternoon lunch there, off the lunchtime menu. They may have been small tasting portions BUT they we're packed FULL of flavour. Well worth a visit. What it's like in the evening I don't know sorry.

Stopped outside to chill out so idk why Google wants me to review It looks nice, smells nice too

The fact that an otherwise very nice looking restaurant in Hull had only 6 or 7 tables occupied at 8pm on a wet Friday night in July should serve as all the information you need that diners are staying away for good reason. The desire to offer "alternative" Indian food is admirable but failing to offer a normal menu is probably why the customers are staying away in droves. My "Pork Vindaloo" was a nicely cooked pork chop with a side of average potatoes and a separate bowl of ketchup mixed with Tabasco (I'm guessing) and was enough of reason to remember that this is not somewhere we'll be returning to. Fantastic decor and bags of potential but quite frankly even if they did offer customers a wider menu for those who thought they wanted a more traditional choice (who would want that?!!) I think they've probably established a reputation around the city as an expensive restaurant that doesn't serve Indian food. Expect a shut down and rebranding soon.

Very tasty food can taste all of the delicious spices in the dishes

Asked for my food to be spicy, I was told "no"... When we walked in, the chef had to tell the waiter we were waiting to be sat down, I was literally about to walk out, so well done to the chef for saving a sale. Atmosphere was very dull, only three others in and the music was like being stuck in a lift. I won't be rushing to come back.

Delicious food. Great service. Waitress made sure to inform us of dishes that have nuts as one of us is allergic to nuts. A bit on the expensive side.

Food was lovely, service wasn't the same from the opening of the restaurant few years back.

Quality and service, excellent.

I have been coming to Tapasya for lunch for a number of years and loved it. Came yesterday and was disappointed no tilapia for the starter and the sweet was terrible no one in our party touched it very sad because i have always raved on how much i have enjoyed it.

Indian food taste was very authentic! Quantity can be increased a bit for the price

Party of 4 plus a tiny one we visited on a Monday lunch. It was very quiet with only one other table of 2 eating. As is always the case my first choice wasn't available. It happens everywhere I go. So started with 3 very small scallops. All of the food was very tasty but you need the sides to make up the meal. The desert menu had recommended wines to accompany but they didn't have them available. The service was very efficient, smiley and friendly. I don't like loud music when eating but here couldn't hear any. With a large empty restaurant it needed something to lift the atmosphere. Would I go again? Probably but it would have to be a special occasion or treat.

Best food ever. Must visit. Highly recommended

"fusion" food which actually manages to take away the enjoyment from both Eastern and Western cuisines rather than adding to it No balance of flavours here, just heaps of a sngle spice. My wifes dish was absolutely pungent with garam masala, so much so the lamb could not be tasted, it was barely edible. Six of us dined and only one could finish their main course, the rest found theirs to be average to unpalatable. I think the chef and proprietors have gone down the fusion route to be different but have lost their way with the cooking. Relatively expensive and for the actual quality of tastes on offer, it's overpriced. On the plus side, starters were ok, the decor is attractive and the staff were pleasant. Wouldn't return if it was free, but its all down to personal palatability

Delicious food! Great price too.

Sadly some of the food did not live up to the description or the price tag. Starter was delicious, fish lightly battered with a beautiful spicy mayo. Main was lamb shank, it was definitely heat over flavour....the sauce was grainy, as if someone had just tipped a jar of curry powder into it. Such a disappointing dish. Felt very rushed as well, approximately an hour from entering to paying the bill which at £90 a couple for two courses, a glass of wine and two beers, is expensive in my opinion. We sadly won't be going back

Brilliant meal in a wonderful restaurant

Good service, professional waiters in matching attire. Great high ceiling venue with soft tone lighting (one bulb was flickering 😅). Food was exceptional, flavourfull and balanced - had lamb shank (nalli ghost), spicy but meat was fall-off-bone tender and juicy.

I'm no food critic but it's bloody lovely.

Great food, little different to what I'm use too but very well presented and tasty !!

Take your credit card to pay the bill. Lovely food though

A delicious and wonderful restaurant, but I am always exposed to ignoring and delaying the request by them, and there is a clear difference in service between customers, and I do not know what is the reason

Upmarket restaurant, friendly staff, overly expensive. Good food but wouldn't return at those price (some portions too small (£12 for 2x scollops starter)

Only usually leave a review if it’s bad ……unreal bait

Nice dining experience, but probably spoiled by our local restaurant winning curry house of the year so food, while good, wasn't (for us) exceptional. The stand out dish was the biryani , that was great.

I would have given it 2.5 but I suppose 3 is close enough. Food was okay, service was okay. I wouldn’t say either was value for money and everything tasted pretty much same. The worst part of the visit, we ordered a vegetarian dish, it had no meat in it, and it came with a decent size fish bone. Luckily none of us have dietary requirements. But from what I know fish bone in a fish is a faux pax so a fish bone in a vegetarian dish surely is worse. The good part: the location and restaurant itself is nice quite nice.

Fabulous food every meal a culinary delight.

Excellent quality food. Pricey but good.

The popadoms were laughable and basically sensations packet crisps 😳 the dips were two shot glasses with some kind of jelly and no onion salad . Our mains were way to overpriced for the amount of actual meat in them swimming in sauce . The potatoes were cold and they were overpriced too along with the rice and breads which were nice but cold . This is far from Indian fine dining its average at best . Disappointing.

Pre-booked Xmas meal was very poor standard. Service was chaotic, we were told the unidentifiable lumps in the vegan starter were chicken, and drinks were served haphazardly. Standard of food was particularly poor, with very little meat in curries and vegan dessert was a chopped banana with 2 strawberries. You just cannot ask for over £30 (before the whopping drinks bill) for this rubbish.

Amazing I loved the food and the service.

Went for a Christmas do and everything was good. Food was delicious and service was very attentive

Excellent food and service Camilla is a waitress which works her heart out. Also Sarvesh had some very good recommendations of food and was very polite xxx

The food is not actually Indian , it does look Indian but tastes nothing like it . Had order a lot of things and didn’t even eat it , you can look at the picture below . I was told by the man there I was not Indian enough to understand the taste and since I am from the south of India , I didn’t not know how north India food tastes I saw all of this good reviews and visited the place but believe me it’s bad , at least according to my taste . I was told to eat from a local “ take away “ place since they felt my taste was more inclined to that . Anyway I am never going to the place again and will not ever recommend this place to anyone. They photo was take after I stopped eating because of how bad the food tasted and not before I started 😂😂😂

Nicely cooked indian food. Service took excellent care of me. Full points, clear recommendation.

Excellent food, excellent service. Will definitely return.

A nice restaurant which offers Indian cuisine foods. It’s located in a prime area near port of Hull with a good outdoor arrangement. The entrance of the place overwhelmed me as there was a idol of Indian God. About food, it’s really amazing. Both quality & quantity is pretty good. Highly recommend if you are visiting Hull & want to taste Indian cuisine.

Really enjoyed our meal, service was good, staff attentive, added service charge which didn't like but seems to be the norm now, 10% so make sure it was worth it...

Great food. Beautiful setting and very friendly service. Can’t wait to return.

First visit to this Indian restaurant - quite upmarket for an Indian - must say the food was absolutely delicious and surroundings and service excellent. Would definitely make another visit.

Great food in nice surroundings.

Fabulous vegetarian meal... thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Would definitely visit again.🙏

Never left a Google review before, but how this place doesn't have a 4.9 or a 5 .0 I do not know. Truly excellent. If it wasn't in Hull I'd be back every week!

Popped for lunch, was met by really attentive staff who clearly focused on the customer experience more then the amount you spend, the staff explained the menu choices and when the food came the explained what each item was. Food was amazing very tasty and fresh will definitely go back and already recommended to friends.

Quite possibly the best Indian I have been to. Excellent service with a smile which is rare these days. Recommended the sea bass which was fantastic. If you are in Hull give it a go.

Great service. very helpful staff . Great recommendations and great wine. food was outstanding. definitely going back.

Pretty good! Our group had the tasting menu. We were accommodated well in the upstairs event room. Overall the food was good: 4 courses of the vegetarian menu were exceptional, the rest were a bit average and we were served a block of paneer in 2 dishes, hence just missing out on 5 stars on this occasion. Would definitely come back to try the á la carte menu though.

Decidedly average really. Staff nice enough, food wasn't anywhere near the promise the decore and pretension Lamb curry was OK but certainly no where near what I'd expect from the price. All in all there are vastly better curry houses in the city than this.
