Team behind two Leeds food favourites announce new Indo-Chinese restaurant
The restaurant is expected to open early 2027
The team behind two popular Leeds restaurants is set to open a new Indo-Chinese eatery in the city centre.
Cheena Chatti will open on Mill Hill in early 2027, with work currently underway to transform the premises into a 75-seat restaurant.
The new venture comes from the independent team behind Tharavadu and Uyare, who are looking to expand their offering with a different style of cooking.
Cheena Chatti will specialise in Indo-Chinese food, combining Chinese cooking techniques and influences with Indian flavours.
The menu is being developed by chefs Ajith, Rajesh and Francis, with further details expected to be revealed closer to the restaurant's opening.
The new restaurant will be based on the same street as Tharavadu, which opened on Mill Hill in June 2014.
Tharavadu specialises in the regional cuisine of Kerala and has gone on to receive national recognition, including recommendations in the Michelin Guide and a place in SquareMeal's Top 100 UK Restaurants.
The business expanded in 2025 with the opening of Uyare at Victoria Gate, which brought its South Indian food to a new setting featuring a restaurant, bar and rooftop terrace.
Cheena Chatti will mark the group's latest expansion in Leeds, with the operators choosing to establish their new concept close to where the business first began.
The restaurant is expected to open in early 2027, although an exact date has yet to be confirmed.
