The Kashmir Restaurant

This is one of my go to Indian restaurants that I have been going to for years whilst I lived and worked in the area. On my recent visit to Yorkshire it was my Indian restaurant of choice and I was not disappointed. This is not a restaurant for those who want table cloths, fine cutlery and silver service. This is the place to go for good, honest, great value Indian food and a place to judge all those other over-priced establishments on. The portions are generous, top quality and at a reasonable price. A small niggle was that I ordered the chicken mughlai yet I received a meat mukhani. The waiter apologised and immediately offered to replace it for the correct dish however it looked so good that I kept it and I'm so pleased I did. It was delicious. Generous mixed kebab at £6.50, three perfect chapatis included with each main course and extras at 50p each with a Peshawari naan coming in a £2.20. Other Indian restaurants should be embarrassed at their prices. I have been to places where three chapatis cost more than this main course. A winner every time and I'm already looking forward to returning.

Welcoming & friendly team of staff. Excellent customer service, excellent curry. Fresh tomatoes, cucumber and onion served with pickles and poppadoms Great that you can BYO too. Highly recommend!

2 Stars I've been to The Kashmir Restaurant many times. The selection of food is good, but the service is consistently poor. My last visit was so bad and rude that I couldn't even enjoy my meal. Known as either the oldest curry house in Bradford or one of the oldest, with such a high reputation, I expected more. Most days, a good amount of the menu is unavailable, and I've had to return many plates for various taste or freshness reasons. This place might be worth a try for its history or nostalgia for those who grew up with it. However, the food, service, and overall decoration don't compare to similarly priced, more modern, and much better service restaurants you'll find in Bradford, a city known for its excellent restaurants and curries.

Food was delicious arguably one of the best curry houses in bradford. Yes it might not have the inviting decor like some places but the meat masala was spot on. Also without a shadow of a doubt the best tandoori rotis ever. They come out piping hot.

***EDIT 2025*** - Returned here on the weekend for the first time in 6 years. Agree with the reviews that even after a refurb, the place looks tired and dated. Cleanliness can improve - there were a few flies buzzing around ! Thankfully there's no stairs into a basement setting anymore with seating now on the first floor. We were served quickly, and received the usual complimentary salad, chutney and water. Food-wise, it wasn't bad but quality was lacking compared to previous visit. Ordered a mix of starters along with chicken and meat masalas. The seekh kebabs seemed reheated in a microwave. We left a couple as they were hard and chewy. The chapli kebabs were fine along with the fish pakoras. The curries were good but the rotis were very thin and small. It's sad to write as The Kashmir is Bradford heritage and will always retain its nostalgia value, but you'd rather spend an extra few quid and go to The International opposite just for the bigger portions and more hygienic environment. This was reflected by how quiet for a Sat lunchtime with only one other table occupied - in contrast to 2019 when it was much busier. 2019 review - Ate here at one of Bradford's oldest curry houses with the family for the first time. You may be initially struck by the dated decor and lack of frills - but don't let that put you off. The curries here will not have your eyes and nose streaming (unless you wish) so easy on the senses, and the stomach. Ordered the chicken masala and meat dopiaza with naan, and the portion sizes were generous and at a great price.
