The Viceroy is an Indian restaurant at 26 Monkgate, a short walk from York’s historic centre. The dining room serves an evening menu every day, while a separate takeaway menu gives local customers another way to use the kitchen. Its stated aim is to bring traditional and modern Indian cooking together rather than restricting the selection to a narrow group of familiar curries.
Starters and tandoori dishes introduce grilled meat, seafood and vegetables before the main courses. Curry styles cover different levels of heat, richness and acidity, allowing chicken, lamb, prawns or vegetables to take on very different characters. Balti and biryani sections add further routes through the menu for diners who prefer a wok cooked sauce or a rice centred dish.
House specialities and Kashmiri influenced recipes give regular visitors choices beyond the standards. A broad vegetarian selection includes lentils, paneer, spinach, potatoes, aubergine and seasonal vegetables in distinct sauces rather than treating them as interchangeable sides. Rice, naan and other breads help a group share several dishes across the table.
Restaurant service suits a relaxed dinner, while collection and delivery are useful when dining at home. Diners can ask for some dishes to be adjusted for strength, but allergies require more care because nuts, gluten and dairy are handled in the same kitchen. The Viceroy offers the variety of a traditional Indian menu while leaving room for the kitchen’s own contemporary and regional ideas.

Wine List
Wine of the Month £27.95
Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial Champagne
A well known blend of older reserves with young wines to ensure a consistency of this flowery aroma and warm biscuit hints.
Prosecco, Italy
Made from 100% Prosecco grown in the Veneto region of North-East Italy with its particularly mild climate. Fine, persistent, soft fizz surrounds the typical fruit spectrum of apple and pear with a hint of peach.
Chenin Blanc
South Africa’s most popular grape variety. Youthful, fruity character and a fresh, zesty acidity. Very well balanced.
Sauvignon Blanc
Classic gooseberry flavours enhanced by cool climate, tantalizing, crisp style.
Pinot Grigio, Italy
Lovely buttery, crisp and dry style with typical pear fruit from this area of central northern Italy in the southern section of Lombardy.
Chardonnay
The grapes for this fresh, lemony Chardonnay are fermented and matured in stainless steel with no oak contact. The aim is to retain the fresh varietal fruit crisp, ripe acidity and weight to produce a classic Chardonnay.
Rosé
Enough skin and juice contact for a superb colour, mouthwatering raspberry and blackcurrant flavours with fresh zing.
Primitivo Puglia, Italy
Velvety, ripe blackberry and plum fruit with a touch of vanilla spice. Primitive is a native grape of southern Italy.
Shiraz
Forest fruits such as blackberries dominate the fruit-packed palate.
Merlot
Ripe blackberry aromas and a subtle underlay of OAS with bright, ripe berry flavours and smooth tannins.
Malbec
Plenty of ripe, soft berry fruit flavours with the usual pinch of spice associated with Malbec as well as cinnamon and vanilla notes from some brief oak ageing.
Don Jacobo Rioja
A traditional red Rioja very much in Bodegas Corral’s style, matured for a minimum of 12 months in oak followed by at least a year in bottle before release. A blend of 90% Tempranillo with small additions of Garnacha and Mazuelo varieties.
