Another brilliant night, doesn't seem like a year ago. My birthday treat again. Had shami kebab, lamb balti,the wife had mixed starter, mixed grill,and chips and i had chapati with mine. Everything was excellent and the missus had to have a to go bag. Great portions, good service and great atmosphere 👏
Great food. Having lived & eaten in Bradford for 25 years the lamb chops & chicken tikka are the best I’ve ever had! No small statement as I love Indian food.
Can’t believe we’ve never been here before having lived in town for 40 years. Someone recommended to us. The curries we had were delicious, chilli chicken, Bhuna and Achai. All were lovely, perfectly spiced and so tasty. We had sides of mushroom rice, pilau, chips and garlic naan. We will definitely be back. The only thing missing was some good atmospheric music, there was a TV playing in the back ground which didn’t quite match the theme. This restaurant is also fully licensed unlike the others in town.
Tried some food here ..starter ,curry’s & nan was great but the chicken biriyani is not good at all . Instead of Indian or Pakistani chicken biriyani you should name it chicken fried rice!! Thank you!
Best food lovely staff used shahban 20 years thank you
