Outstanding Indian restaurant in a quiet village location, beautiful decor and wonderful service…read more A converted pub they have done a fine job and turned this into one of the best Indian restaurants around. We had the appetizer assortment consisting of lamb, chicken and onion bharji which was fantastic. Popadoms were fresh and served with a delicious pickle tray. I had the lamb balti which was one of the best i've ever had, fall apart tender morsels of lamb in a delicious brown curry sauce, spiced to perfection, incredible dish all round, i added chapati and rice and couldn't be happier with my decision. Service was outstanding, extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff making this my new go to Indian whenever i'm in the UK!

Thanks, Adam! Wandering the streets after sightseeing, I let Yelp lead me to a top rated…read morerestaurant. I was not even slightly disappointed because Akbar's is an excellent curry house. Even though I walked in at 5:15, they were happy to see me and brought me to a table near the window. The menu was a bit strange - a solidly laminated sheet - but it had all the usual curries that I've come to expect in this country. And so instead of going with the usual, I let my eye choose. I started with the Liver Tikka. I've never had this before and I would recommend it. Not at all "livery", three good sized pieces arrived on a sizzling plate with some sauteed onions and a bowl of mint sauce. Th mint was a big help because this was seriously hot. Not spicy hot, temperature hot. Wow! For mains, the "handi" was listed as 'just like we have it at home' on the menu so I thought I'd give that a try. I chose lamb instead of chicken. It took about ten minutes (the waiter warned me it would be 15) and I also opted for two chapati to go with it. Again, very hot coming from the kitchen and it had a whole lot of flavor and spice, but it wasn't "hot" spicy just really tasty. Lots of small pieces of lamb in a sauce that is beyond description. Let's just say that it was excellent and the chapati was perfect for scooping. No dessert, but the cold bottle of Kingfisher was perfect (first time in a bottle, it's usually draft). A great meal!

I thought the dishes were fine quality, tasty and not too spicy. Good prices and good portions, suitable for sharing. Loved the atmosphere, with low lighting from chandeliers with red highlights and lounge music. It seemed more modern and hip than a standard Indian joint. The crowd was a mix of small groups of businessmen and tourists, with a few families like us.

We were AMAZED by this place!…read more It was probably made even better by the most recent one we had being poor too, and also, thumbs up for 5* hygiene rating (yes, I'm one of those people who checks). Eleven of us ordered food, including enormous tubs of rice, giant and entirely amazing onion bhajis (definitely get some of these- big scotch egg sized tasty globes). Everyone had something different, and there was a bit of sharing too, everyone was happy. The hotter ones have a reasonable kick, and a surprisingly good one was the shampan- picked out of morbid curiosity, with mozzarella cheese on top, and not swimming with fat. We were all very full, and the Naans still tasted nice the next morning!

Fire me up and let me rip.

Street is an Indian restaurant tucked away in Brighouse and has quite a reputatation. Now reputations don't mean too much to me (never a truer word said), as I like to make my own mind up but it can't hurt. To look at it's pleasant but nothing out of the ordinary but that would be doing it a huge misjustice. The staff were friendly and pretty efficient which considering it was quite busy was an added bonus these days. We decided to try the buffet downstairs and this is the main puller. If you don't like crowds then quite frankly you are probably a bit odd. Failing that and you are not odd then swerve the buffet and try the sit down menu upstairs which looks superb. As it was the buffet was fantastic value for money and very impressive Kashmiri food. Loads of vegetarian dishes and meat ones alike. Oh and anywhere that has "sexy" mushrooms has got to be somewhere to shout about. I was half expecting the fungi to be wearing provocative mini skirts and stockings but alas they were just mushrooms but mighty tasty ones at that. I'm also realiably informed that the take away meals are top notch. Rubbish name in my humble oppinion but excellent cuisine.

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%.

Looks really are deceiving. The area is a bit run past rather than walk it. The exterior of Raja's…read morelooks pretty bog standard, and the decor is unremarkable in that it echoes the many many interiors of Indian restaurants up and down the country. Proclamations of it's greatness didn't really fill me up with much hope of a good curry. It looks like many I've been in and walked past and when I've left I've felt completely deflated that I dared to get my hopes up. Even the "really and honestly it's a beauty" didn't do it for me. Walking through the doors, in the middle of my party, we were all given a hearty welcoming by the smartly dressed staff. We were shortly shown to our table, and the thing I was really impressed by was the open kitchen, making it easy to view how our future belly fodder was to be cooked and prepared. I'm always impressed with open kitchens, that nothing to hide approach instills much confidence in me. The menu. All the usual starters, sundries, mains and sides, every form of samosa, pakora, tandoori, korma, massala, dopiaza, biryani, roti, naan, soft drinks, beers, wines, juices, lassi. So what makes it special? The taste. Fresh, mouthwatering, full flavoured, homecooking. It really does earn the accolades that have been given to Raja's over the past 25 years. Several silver dishes adorned our table, steaming hot and smelling divine, the biryani my personal favourite, with the rice not dry and sad, but moist and delicious, no sign of a microwave in sight, and the curry sauce was a delicious accompaniment. Yum. We were well tended to throughout the evening, and the service quality matched the quality of the food. Price wise it was unbelievably reasonable, with it working out between £9 and £15 a head depending on meat free, meat, and prawn options. All of us had at least one drink and a main, and the rest either had a starter or a side order. Love it.

Our 12 year old is now hooked on their Tandoori Butter Chicken and even wants to try other dishes now. This after years of treating curry as toxic waste.
