Thought I'd try this take away instead of my usual. It's only a few minutes down the road from where I live. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. I love kebabs so opted for the mixed kebab in tray along with 2 chicken kebabs. It was absolutely delicious! The red chicken doner was amazing! Very flavourful, juicy and really tender. The portion size was also larger than what I'd expected too. I will definitely be coming back for more.
Desi Chef in Batley is a must-visit! We had an amazing experience with their lamb karahi, meat n chips, and tandoori roti - all at a very reasonable price. The portions were generous, and the flavors were spot on. But the real cherry on top was the complimentary tea they offered. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home ¹. The lamb karahi was absolutely delicious, and the meat n chips were cooked to perfection. The tandoori roti was freshly made and paired perfectly with our meals. We were impressed by the quality of the food and the value for money. If you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Batley, Desi Chef is the way to go. Don't miss out on their delicious offerings!
I have been meaning to visit this takeaway and I’m so glad I finally did. All the recommendations were spot on from family members. The desi special pizza and mixed grill were delicious. Generously topped with cheese and meats and were hot when we ate them. We also got the meat donner in a tray which came with a beautifully fresh salad and chilli sauce. This was delicious too and we will definitely be returning to try other things on the menu. We ordered on the phone and was told that it would be 20/25 minutes. This timing was spot on as when we arrived at the takeaway we were given our order pretty much straightaway. The workers are friendly and communicated prices and recommendations efficiently. A lovely place to order from with yummy food!
