From the outside, Kebabish Original looks like any other greasy late-night takeaway. And to be…read morehonest, it looks a bit like that on the inside too. Head past the massive flame grill, however, and you'll find a neat little restaurant section towards the back, decked out in a surprisingly classy style. The food here is fantastically varied, from meaty mixed grills and sirloin steaks to curries, burgers and chips, making Kebabish a good stop if you've got a party with mixed tastes, although they may look at you strangely when you first lead them through the unpromising front door. With cheap prices - just two quid for a burger and around a fiver for a main course - they often get busy, so get here early to get a table, or stop by after the pub for a takeaway that's a cut above the usual greasy kebab.

My experience of Kebabish began pretty much in the same way as Aneila's, twas recommended by a…read morePakistani mate who suggested we should all go one afternoon, as she thought the food was really good, she and her sister visited, and they really liked it, and on that premise, we should like it too. Six of us rolled up one lazy Thursday afternoon, and upon reaching the front door, there was an exchange of glances and looking at our dear friend as if she was loco. Stepping through the doors didn't instil any further confidences, but when we were shown our table towards the back of the restaurant, a collective sigh was exhaled. Nice and clean, laid out, smart but not too fancy, we could finally relax and let the smell of the grill hit us. With a mixture of kebabs, curries, salads and sundries on our table it was nice to see what we were glad to have ordered and what we were jealous we hadn't. I had the tandoori, which was lovely, not too dry and really nice in the flavour dept, not too overpowering without being dry and dull. I faired better than some of my eat buddies, as one found her curry to be too greasy, and used a large portion of her naan soaking it up as to detract from the taste. Whilst everything was nice, and there was nothing hideously wrong with the food, it was just nice. Nothing outstanding, but a place I wouldn't object to returning to. I was disappointed at my friend for bigging it up so much, as I said, nice, but not worthy of going out of your way when there are plenty of Indian food eateries in and around the city centre.

With plenty of room downstairs in the Bollywood and a wonderful atmosphere courtesy of the wall screens showing off the best of Indi-pop and bhangra tunes, Hasan's isn't the best Indian restaurant in the vicinity - it's one of the best in the city.

One of the best, and arguably the most popular, Indian restaurants in Leeds, Sheesh Mahal has been…read moreturning out spot on Asian cuisine for years. It sits on the busy Kirkstall Road opposite the Cardigan Fields complex, and is usually almost full, especially on weekend evenings (best to book if this is your preferred time of visit). Its popularity is due to the fact that it presents hugely tasty traditional Indian and Pakistani cuisine in unpretentious surroundings (true, it could do with a bit of a refurb but it works for me). The meals are very reasonably priced to say that it is clearly cooked by highly talented and experienced Indian chefs, and service is very fast and as polite as it should be. I decided to bite the bullet and went for a chicken madras, which is more spice that I can usually handle, but it went down a treat, especially when washed down with the bottled Indian beer. The naan breads were glorious too. This place really is a cut above most of the rest. I'm a big fan.

Despite its rather unassuming exterior and undesirable location right on a busy road, Sheesh Mahal…read moreis without a doubt one of the best Indian's in Leeds. Straddling the gap between upmarket restaurant and simple curry house, Sheesh Mahal has all the comfort and service of a fancy restaurant with none of the pretensions, and the food is of a comparable quality to restaurants that where you'd happily pay twice the price. I have visited here on a number of occasions, and over time tried pretty much every vegetarian option on the menu, and each time have found the food, service and atmosphere faultless. A few people I know have complained to me that the décor is a bit dated, and it certainly won't win any prizes for interior design, but if you're capable of ignoring a bit of peeling wallpaper you'll be rewarded with one of the best - and best value - Indian restaurants in town.

Nice atmosphere with friendly staff. Recommended for group dining. Will come again for sureread more

Second time I've been to Akbar's and loved it both times…read more Unlike many Indian restaurants which tend to be dark, cramped and not very up marker, Akbar's has a bright, spacious, clean and just generally nice atmosphere. There are tons of seats but it works with the layout. Staff are friendly and timely too, which is always a plus. And now... the food. Amazing Indian food. I'm basing this mostly on a butter chicken curry to die for. Basic, but brilliant. The naan is also great and it hangs on a upright stand which is interesting. I also had a daal and some onion Bhajis to start. Both pretty decent. The papadums are no different to other good Indians but are equally good. A classic British curry house doesn't exist without a good range of beers. Akbar's is no exception and is great for groups. There were two birthday groups while we were eating and the music suddenly swapped and started playing some Birthday music. Not the biggest fan and made the place seem a bit tacky. All in all, a great place to come for a cheeky curry, with a group of friends or family but not so great for formal or special occasions.

After many a moon of folks telling me this off-the-beaten-track…read moregem is worth seeking out, opportunity knocked this Tuesday when a friend chose to have her birthday meal here. I have to admit, as soon as I saw the location I was delighted. It's no more than a 15 minute walk or so from Hyde Park, so easily navigate-able, and stands proudly on the corner. Once you get inside the warmth of the place (literally) and the staff greet you immediately. We were something like 20 strong, and had to wait for a table to finish before we could sit, so stood a bit awkwardly in the entrance - not that it was CC's fault, but as a group there's not quite room in the waiting area. I've heard that in times gone by they'd send folks over to the pub across the road in that kind of scenario, but that has been turned into a Tesco Metro. Sad times. We didn't wait long though, and soon enough piled into our seats. The waitresses kept us well watered with water and drinks orders throughout the night, which was a great touch. I wasn't boozing so particularly appreciated fresh water being replenished without having to ask. As we were a big group, the put on a set meal for that, and so first came a selection of dips and poppadoms. I wasn't a huge fan of the yoghurt dips, as they were a bit tart, but that's just me - everyone else adored them. As well as regular poppadoms we also had cumin seed ones. Next up came starters, which consisted of various battered delicious bites, and some minced lamb kebab type bits of meat, and tikka chicken pieces. All of those were excellent. In particular I liked the battered potato and tikka chicken - it was cooked to perfection and not in the least bit dry. Lastly came the mains. We had a selection of about 10 different dishes, maybe more, and all dived in. You guys, these were the kiddy. This was the one. So, in the end I only tried a few dishes before feeling utterly stuffed, but I had a lamb and mushroom dish, medium spiced, in a red (tomato?) sauce. A chicken and mushroom, which wasn't quite a korma, but had a delicious flavour and cream based sauce. Those two were the stand out for me, but we had all kinds of veggie, spicy, and other going on. Not a bite was disappointing. All freshly made. And the naan?! Sugary! I can't tell you how much this made sense once you mixed it with the curry. Just trust me and go with it. Basically, I've found a new favourite in this family restaurant. Why not five stars? Well, I've only been once, so ought to go again just to be sure. But every bit of this is fantastic. It's not fancy, but it's cosy, the staff are amongst the friendliest I've experienced in Leeds, and the food is exquisite. Oh - and the price? £15/head for that banquet!

We went along for a banquet option, and although I could almost say we started off with the usual poppadoms & pickles this wouldn't actually be true!

Then onto the mains, as much of a squeeze as it was to find room for them, we had a wide selection of different curry dishes (with my personal favourite of chicken & mushroom) and the lamb dish was cooked to perfection.
