Barinda

Barinda is a family-run Indian restaurant on Boothferry Road that made its mark early, winning the prestigious Curry Life Chef of the Year award for 2011/12 — national recognition that placed it among the best Indian kitchens in the country. The cooking is rooted in the Bengali tradition with a contemporary twist, offering a level of culinary ambition that goes beyond the standard curry-house formula. The dining room seats a hundred across a striking green and ebony interior with wooden flooring and colour-changing ceiling panels. Dine-in and takeaway are both available. The Boothferry Road location is slightly off the main west-Hull restaurant strip, which makes it something of a discovery for diners not already familiar with it — a genuinely award-winning kitchen that rewards the short detour.
