Curry is now an integral part of English cuisine and loved by many. Especially me. It has even been…read moresuggested that Indian curries are more frequently consumed than traditional English dishes such as fish and chips, which is not hard to believe considering that when cooked correctly with quality ingredients, curry is far more complex in flavor thus more mouth watering and satisfying to eat. Currently celebrating 25 years of successful business, Rajas is undoubtedly one of the best curry houses in Leeds. Despite it's surroundings (Harehills is slightly run down and nowhere near glitzy glam), it is a true diamond in the rough. Well known for it's quality and delicious dishes, it has been voted one of the Top Ten Indian Restaurants in the UK twice by the Times newspaper. The menu is an array of all the greats you would expect, at extremely competitive prices. Most starters are around £1 - £2 (apart from the fresh water prawns which are more like £5) and mains between £4 and £10. If there is something you would like which is not on the menu they will cook it for a service charge of 10%.

Nothing like it used to be under previous owner. Sad to say the food has fallen in quality; huge…read moredisappointment.

From the spicy starters to the sumptuous mains, it doesn't matter if you taste ventures more towards the creamy korma, the marvellous marsala or the sumptuously strong rogan josh, there's something for everyone here. The accompaniments are equally delicious and the drinks are served to perfection (the sour fizz is an effervescent delight). 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.

Would definitely recommend Hassan's. Lovely food in a restaurant with a very modern interior. The…read morestaff were quite attentive.

Moghul's is a quality little curry house hidden away at the bottom of Town Street that I had never…read morenoticed until a friend recommended it to me. They don't have a booze license, but they almost encourage you to bring your own, or, as the place is surrounded by pubs and bars, you can always nip out and bring some back from any of the nearby places. The chicken korma I had was delicious, and my (much more adventurous) friend was singing the praises of the liver starter dish for the rest of the night, so it must have been something special. Moghul's don't just play it safe - they offer less traditionally stereotypical dishes such as fish and the aforementioned liver, and for this they must be praised. But most of the praise must be reserved for the prices - scandalously low for such fine cooking.

Strangely everyone i know whose been to Moghul went on the advice of someone else. Its odd that…read moresuch a small place in such an out of the way area should gather such a reputation. Still i think its well earned. First off remember to bring your own alcohol if you want it. Moghul don't have the licence but will happily chill and dispense anything you bring. Being right next door to a relaxed pub also makes it easy to sort out drinks if you've forgotten your own (though you may get dragged into Kareoke for your trouble!) Moghul started well, the Lassi (yoghurt based smoothie) was really well made and the various chutney's and sauces served with the starter were really nice. All the starters were impressively sized as were the nan that accompanied the main. We had some debate on the food. I'm a little easy to please and reckon mine was really nice. Very standard affair but well made and just about spicy enough for me. The foody to my right was a little concerned about the origin of his meat. I guess when you buy duck and don't recognise the taste you.... (cry fowl?) sorry. But despite reservations over the taste everyone did enjoy the food. Its a little small and on a day like we've been having recently, incredibly hot inside. But the staff were attentive (if a little dopey at times, 1 glass for the jug of water amongst 4 was funny as was the cutlery count to start with). I think for the price and given the lack of serious contenders in Horsforth that Moghul could almost warrent 4 stars, thrown into the mix in leeds it might not fair so well but for what we wanted it fit the bill perfectly.

Crikey!! What's this ?? Jafran isn't on here?? I'm almost as shocked as George Galloway was when he…read morefound out it was BRADFORD he'd been elected in, NOT BLACKBURN! (Oh yeah I'm down with the Twitterverse kids). The story so far........ In a galaxy far far away....... I used to reside in a town called Batley where I was spoilt for Indian and Bangladeshi food of the finest quality but since moving to Leeds I've not had so much luck, found the odd one but they couldn't keep the standards up over 5 meals (you have to try it 5 times to know it wasn't a fluke!) but now I've found Jafran and once again I'm a happy bunny :) I actually went off takeaway curry, it was getting so bad I HAD STARTED COOKING MY OWN! They weren't up to much either lol. So I dared to delve into the world of online ordering again and paid attention to the ratings and comments rather than how many chappati's I got free and came up with Jafran and I am so glad I did! The food here is restaurant quality but at takeaway price. The portions are generous, the chappati's are so freshly made they bring a tear to my eyes and they are MAHOOSIVE!! The size of a football pitch give or take a few metres ;) Everything tastes fresh and if you ask for it to be milder they can do it (usually a good sign that they make it fresh and it's not spooned out of a massive tub that they buy in! Oh yes, we're on to your tricks, watch out lol) They are usually around 40 mins to deliver because they make it fresh, one I used near here used to deliver within 15 mins which kind of tells you something as it takes me 2 days when I cook to make anything ;) Oh and the Poppadums are like crispy angels skin they are so good! Do yourself a favour and try this place, then come back and add your comment and save me a poppadum or the kitten gets it!!

(The female delivery drivers have persistently eluded my tea tarnished tee's and jaunty good looks.) So as a man with many notches in the ol' takeaway belt I have to admit there's not many joints as good as this. The Curries are fresher than Miley's dance moves, Pack more of a clout than Mike Tyson's right uppercut/ear bite combo, and as for the chilli sauce... I get moist in my special region just thinking about it. Couldn't agree more with Chris S on the poppadum's being like crispy angels skin, and as such the naan breads are like heated quilts in which these poppadum seraphs can rest their tiresome wings. Gets a little costly don't get me wrong, and delivery can get a tad on the long side on the busier nights, but by chove it's worth it. Check them out.

I noticed that there were tiny pieces of shredded/disintegrated chicken everywhere in the sauce. Not at all what I expected. The photos here show the sauce. When the waiter checked in with us, I mentioned this. The waiter went away and then returned, stating that the pieces were egg not chicken. I was left puzzled as to why I'd expect egg in a chicken Jalfrezi. My friend and I inspected the sauce and concluded that this was definitely not egg, but tiny pieces of shredded/disintegrated chicken. What a shame. And what a terrible dining experience. I didn't make a fuss because I didn't want to ruin my friend's birthday night out. Very, very bad.

Now when this place calls itself the number 1 curry house in Leeds they fully deserve that title…read more The restaurant itself is small and understated, simply decorated with chic furniture and wooden floors. It's the food that is the really star here though. All the food is freshly prepared and they use no artificial flavours or colourings, which make for a mouth wateringly good curry. I tend to always go for the takeaway service as it's just down the road and I can eat it chilled out in front of the TV. I could eat from here every night, it's the best curry I have had in Leeds and as it's so fresh it doesn't leave you bloated.

We went on a weeknight and…read moreit was really quiet - just 3 other tables were taken - however we got given a table in the tiny little corridor next to the loos (I think it was next to the loos anyway - what struck me most was just how weeny it was). There aren't any windows in that bit, you know, and it's not entirely condusive to a pleasant dining experience. Another couple arrived after our starters had arrived and were seated in the same bit but had the common sense to ask for a different table - we didn't think of that... The food, though, was superb. It's not a lavish menu in terms of the quantity of dishes, but it's got a straightforward selection of genuinely delicious dishes. No greasy poppadoms and chewy naans here, thanks very much.

Fingers crossed it's temporary, since they were my absolute fave, but there have been a few things not-so-right of late! I will say, however, they're still the only place I know of who do butter chicken, which is delish. Firstly, the time before last there was a weird unidentifiable item in my butter chicken. I couldn't be sure, but it seemed the texture of fish - maybe crab or lobster? It didn't affect the rest of the dish, which I devoured, but I didn't enjoy that. Then I ordered raita to go with some other bits, which was really just not very nice. And lastly, a few days ago I attempted butter chicken again and the sauce was a lot more watery than usual. Not terribly thin, but much less creamy. Sad times! Despite this, I think one last chance is in order. I did love them so much before, after all. Or maybe I need to actually try a different menu item for once, and branch out...

This is our new favorite take away for curry…read more We've ordered from Naeems four times now and have had excellent service and excellent food. They offer free delivery and accept cash only payments. They quote 45 minutes for delivery, but normally our delivery comes in about 30. I think the delivery time depends on how far you live from them though and I think i live on the edge of their 5 mile delivery radius. The food always tastes like its been cooked fresh and it always arrives piping hot. We've tried their Nan Kebabs. They have both kinds of kebabs if you prefer your kebab in a pita bread. Their nan bread by the way is awesome. I recommend the Chicken Tika Nan kebab. It's enough food for two people and is very nice. It's full of succulent chicken and veg. I cant eat a whole one - but it does hold up to reheating. It wasn't greasy the next day. We also order the meal deal for two which has their huge samosas. To be fair there is enough food in this meal deal for four people. We always have leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day. Overall the food is excellent and the price is right. Their service is also friendly and prompt. They offer a 10% discount to students & nursing homes when requested. They also have a 10% off on collections over £20 - but this excludes meal deals and set meals. Free delivery in a 5 mile radius to LS7 2PW
