Newly-opened top Indian restaurant eyes further expansion in York
A newly-launched top Indian restaurant says it is looking at opening another new venue in York.
Jodhpur opened in Station Parade, Harrogate, on Sunday, and is already earning five-star reviews online for its authentic food.
This follows from a similarly highly-rated Jodhpur, which opened in Kirkstall Road, Leeds in December 2023.
As the Press reported, the restaurants are the brainchild of chefs and friends Jatinder Singh, 35, and Satender Singh, 40, who for 12 years had worked together in venues in Leeds and London.

A staff member told the Press the pair were driven by a passion to share authentic Indian cuisine with traditional recipes from across the Indian subcontinent.
The Leeds location was 'well received', with its success encouraging them to bring the same culinary experience to Harrogate.

The staff member said: 'We were drawn to Harrogate for its charm, community spirit, and vibrant food scene. After spending time here, we felt it was the perfect location to share our love of genuine Indian food. We've secured a wonderful spot in the town centre, making it easy for both locals and visitors to discover us.'
He continued: 'We're not a typical "curry house"—a term that often implies anglicised dishes made to order. Our kitchen follows time-honoured Indian recipes that have been passed down through generations. We aim to offer a full cultural experience, not just a meal.
'Each dish is prepared with care, using traditional methods that reflect the diversity of Indian cuisine—from the rich flavours of the North to the spices of the South. Highlights on our menu include our slow-cooked lamb rogan josh, street-style chaats, and regional thalis that offer a true taste of India.'
And more restaurants look to be on the menu, including in York.

The staff member continued: 'We're already exploring opportunities to expand further—and York is certainly on our radar. We've had such warm feedback from the community and would love to bring our concept there in the near future.'
He added: 'Our mission is to bring people together over real Indian food, served with heart. We're not just opening restaurants—we're building a family of customers who appreciate authenticity and hospitality. We invite the people of Harrogate and beyond to come and experience something truly special.'
Jodhpur, which also offers take-outs, is open on weekdays from 5pm, except Tuesdays, and on weekends from 1pm.
