Coconut Lagoon — Restaurant in England

Came here on a quiet weekday for a catch up with my friend.

Was served and looked after by Joshua

Before coming I made a online reservation and put in the notes we wanted the crab curry... And I'm so glad I did... I believe they took the time to take the meat out of the crab and out it back in its shell and placing the curry sauce over the curry... This was exceptionally very good and highly recommend. This reminded me of my travels and the indian crab curry i always have in Malaysia . Another highlight was finally getting a proper paratha (aka Roti's in Malaysia ) so many times I've been to restaurants and never gave me a proper paratha... Well they serve them here and they are very well made... Flaky chewy and the right crisp to softness... Teamed exceptionally well with the crab curry.

We requested the Thali with no lamb - mo problem at all. Ot was replaced with another chicken curry... Every component of the Thali was tasty and generous huge chunky meat and prawns... At least two pieces of meat in each little dish. Not knowing how big the portions was we also had a meat platter and a chicken masala dosa... Dosa was generously filled...Too generous... But this does reflect in the price compared to other places I have had them at. Meat platter was a crispy beef, great texture...But a little tough. Chicken 65...Very juicy and flavoursome.... And another chicken in a spicy sauce...All very tasty but would be perfect with more salad on plate 😉

Overall a very relaxing evening, great food and great service from Joshua who took time to talk to us.

Oh oh oh did I mention the mango lasso is also a very big jug!!!

Definitely coming back...But next time I'll make sure not to order so much as the portions are big from...

From the tangy sambar to the creamy rasam, every component was well-balanced and thoughtfully prepared.

Overall, my experience at Coconut Lagoon was fantastic. The dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully presented. If you’re looking for authentic South Indian food in York, this restaurant is definitely...

A Taste of Kerala at Coconut Lagoon - A Perfect Meal!

I recently dined at Coconut Lagoon, and I must say it was an unforgettable South Indian culinary experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance made me feel like I was transported straight to Kerala, with cozy and charming decor that set the perfect mood.

For the meal, we started with the Lagoon Special Dosa and Paneer Dosa—both were absolutely amazing! The Lagoon Special Dosa was perfectly crispy and filled with a variety of tasty ingredients, while the Paneer Dosa had a wonderful, savory filling that paired beautifully with the accompanying chutneys and sambar. Both dosas were cooked to perfection, with just the right balance of flavor and crunch.

We finished off the meal with some Homemade guava & Coffee Ice Cream, which was rich, creamy, and had the perfect coffee flavor that wasn’t too overpowering. A truly satisfying way to end the meal!

The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, Coconut Lagoon provided an authentic South Indian dining experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone craving delicious Kerala-inspired dishes. I’ll definitely be returning...
