Been driving past for years and liked the vibes of the place, finally booked to visit last week and wow! The food is excellent! The staff were so lovely and attentive and a really nice space. The service was so speedy, the prices competitive. We loved every single thing we ordered. A lovely little independent business that deserves more recognition! I will 100% be returning!
Loved it here with my family and boyfriend. We heard a lot of good things about this place. The waitress was very lovely and the food was delicious and came out very fast, would recommend to anyone that wants to experience authentic Indian food!🎉❤️
Love the Crafty Indian. Great food, great value and something for everyone from meat eaters to vegans. It’s definitely the best curry in Shipley. PLUS a great selection of craft beers, gins and good wine. They are never as busy as they should be and this makes me really sad as they are a restaurant that should be treasured by locals . The family who run it are absolutely lovely too
We ate at The Crafty Indian tonight and had the Street Thali menu, which was excellent. It was fresh, vibrant, and really good value. The mix of flavours was the best I’ve had in a long time, and everything tasted authentic. The waitress was really attentive and helpful, making the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend, one of the best curries and combinations of dishes we’ve had in ages!
Always an amazing experience at the craft Indian! The food is delicious and the service is brilliant, they have a great selection of beers available also. Cannot recommend enough! They catered our wedding last month and we received so many comments on how lovely the food was. The service was wonderful and they were very attentive to us and our guests!
