Aagrah in Leeds

Amazing food & hospitality here! There was so much choice & the quality was fantastic. I only wish I lived closer to go again

I am so angry, I ordered 2 main meals to be delivered tonight. When it got delivered my partner noticed one of the curry’s were in the same size side tub as the salad. I called the restaurant up and made them aware they had made an error and we paid for full main meals. After speaking to 3 people, the last guy on the call said to me “we’ll just next time let us know and we will send it out”. I replied “absolutely not I have ordered my food I expect the goods I have paid for”. He then went on to say the portion was a decent enough size and what was the issue. I said the curry was for me and me son and then he started laughing down the phone at me. I have never ever had this bad of a service!!! Do not order from here. Disgusting service and reluctant to send you the food you have paid for.

What amazing food and lovely welcoming staff would definitely recommend and will be back in the future great value for money

Overpriced 13.50 for a 5 year old buffet is a rip off!! He hardly eats out. Thought food okay but over spiced /priced. Nice setting for restaurant/ pleasant service

We now live in Worcestershire but come up to Leeds regularly to see family. We booked a table for 7 and had never eaten here ourselves although other family members had, but not recently. We were very impressed with the food and the attentiveness of the staff making the whole experience very pleasant for us all We will definitely return in the near future .

Have been recommended this place we gave it a try well worth the money. eat as much as you want in the buffet.

Rude staff Overcharged In such a rush to get me out Shame as food very nice and has been for many years let down by the need to rush the experinse

The buffet was ok. Not worth £22 though. The variety wasn’t great and there was no difference in flavour between the dishes. Naan breads were dry. The dessert options were good. We were overcharged until I pointed this out to them then they changed the bill. Service was poor. We won’t be back. If you’re looking for a nice curry in this area we’d recommend one of the establishments on Main Street.

3rd visit been ok before, but tonight the food on the buffet was only just warm, and everything tasted the same! We definitely will not be back

Allways conciently lovely food. Unfortunately on our last visit overcharged on takeaway no discount given for either collection or bank holiday discount. Taken our business elsewhere

Had the buffet which was well worth the money. Lots of options to choose from. The staff were fantastic & kept my 10 month old grandson very entertained. Will definitely be returning.

Evening out with the lads Firstly pre booked on arrival there was no reservation to be found. After some time a table was located. We took the buffet option here. Personally what was offered in several hot Turin’s was ok but I’ve had better at other establishments., it’s fair to say, “yes” you can return several times to replenish your plate. The garlic Nan bread was weak more like a “cut” off a rounded pizza and weak in taste. Plus side was plenty of side portions ok plus the salad bar was ample. Sweet undertaken which was ok Value for money ? £20 ahead I’m not too sure … some of the lads thought it was ok. I’m unsure if I’ve been spoilt from other establishments that don’t cater for the buffet clients. Curry taste what I had was ok but had the view of oil floating on the top. Well it’s make your mind up …. Plenty in the place … maybe I’m too picky ? .

We had a family celebration on Saturday night. The service and food was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. All staff were brilliant.

Arrived having booked in advance, they had no record of our booking which was disappointing as it was my husbands birthday and I advised them of this when I booked. When orders were taken we were not made aware of the buffet that was available. The meal I ordered- butter chicken was inedible. It was greasy and tasteless. The nan bread was also covered in grease. On collecting our plates, the server did not ask how our meal was. I contacted the restaurant directly to make them aware and received no response. Really disappointed, will not be returning.

Ordered a takeaway. Was really impressed with how long it took to come. The taste of every single dish we ordered was awful. Even the pickle tray elements was awful. It was really expensive too! Really disappointed. Will not be going back.

Both of us had the buffet. There was plenty of choice. The starters included chops, wings, fish and bhajis plus lots more. Mains were varied and plentiful with a prawn curry, as well as the usual korma, tikka masala, madras and some veg curries. Chips and rice and 2 different naans. Desserts also had plenty to choose from including sticky toffee pudding and ice creams as well as Indian desserts. A bargain for the variety and quality of food, the food was also hot which isn’t always the case at any buffet, Staff were all friendly and helpful.

Food up to the usual Aagrah standard and decent table service. Busier than our favourite Aagrah on the York road which we compare this with. Might come again for a second try.

They do buffet every night here but the three of us ordered off the menu. Comfortable surrounds, polite and attentive staff. Lal Toofan to drink, which is great, but cannot find it anywhere. Starters were lamb chops - absolutely beautiful, chicken pakoras and sea bass. Main courses Chicken Mangalore - really good, Chicken tikka masala and a chicken and prawn dish. With rice and a family naan and tarka dall. It was a really tasty, filling meal. 10 per cent Blue light discount. Recommended, best meal in Garforth. My favourite curry for miles.

Since my last review we have visited for family occasions a few times, including NYE and it has been OK... however here is our experience of a take out this evening. We paid over £30 for cold food that was terrible if honest. We feel really disappointed as the quality of the food was not the same as we get in the restaurant. We got a mixed veg platter for starter, the samosas were wet and slobby, the veg pakora was mush and the onion bhaji was just soft and wet. The chapattis were OK, the curry we ordered was Keema Parsi, it was again ok, just clap cold. The chips were like bricks, solid in the middle. So all in all we wasted over £30 on a take out we expected to be the same quality we get at the Garforth branch. I am not sure we will be recommending after this experience. I must admit we feel cheated out of £30.

First time visit for a 50 th golden wedding anniversary meal, very friendly and helpful, nice beer , meal was excellent, really tasty and hot ,not spicy hot , well recommended, booking recommended.

We go to Aagrah quite often as we find its good value for money & our 2 children love the buffet. We are always greeted with a smile when we enter & we are never waiting too long for a table. Buffet is always HOT...

Stepson took us to this taste sensation that blew us away really. Soo many choices from a buffet style menu to individual options. From poppadoms to curries. Simply amazing food and drink. Thank you to the restaurant for the brilliant service and food. Back again...

Just returned home after an absolutely fantastic buffet at The Agraah Garforth. Unfortunately we were charged for an adult for my 8 year old daughter. ( that's about £10 more) Noticed too late. Beware.

Food was absolutely spot on! The service was good although the waiter seemed a bit miserable, but that wasnt an issue. The few dishes we had were all lovely, especially the chicken tikka starter, dhal, & the butter chicken was the nicest I've ever had!...

For some inexplicable reason this particular branch is far from consistent, staff seem under trained, they are polite and courteous but only just( not enough to leave a tip) The food is far from what one expects for price paid ( 100 plus) for 4...

My wife and I were stood talking to some of her family who were sat at another table when one of the waiters came past, instead of saying, "excuse me" to try and get past, he just knocked into my pregnant wife! I called him...

Planned on going for the basic menu but we saw the buffet so changed our mind. Excellent choice and good food. 10/10. Highly recommended.

First time we been to this restaurant tonight and was really looking forward to it, but must say we were really, dissappointed with the food, the onion bargees were shaped like doughnuts, and were stodgy and tasteless, and served with no rhata sauce!! My chicken...

Had a great meal on Xmas day, relaxed atmosphere, great food with a vast array of choice, something for everyone in our party, pair this with friendly service, I would highly recommend.

Disappointed with whole experience. Booked for a table where we could get a pushchair in and was given the most inaccessible place. Service poor asked 3 times for a forgotten drink then had to go to bar ourselves. Waited over half hour to give our...

We visited on a Thursday night and decided to go for the buffet rather than ploughing through the extensive menu. If visiting in a smaller group I’d take the time out to pick from the main menu. I think the buffet was £18 and had...

The buffet style food was amazing,really enjoyed the ambience and the service was brilliant.Good value for money too,will be visiting again 😁

Disappointing meal, sat too close by another family group felt crammed in. Staff slammed down our drinks down on the table. We ordered chicken bhuna of chicken meals not much chicken in them. Staff bumped into my husbands chair taking an order to another table didn’t apologise for this. Bill amount announced to the whole of the table and not itemised. Who meal felt rushed. We Won’t be back!!Show lessDate of visit: October 2021

Friendly efficient staff. Loved the buffet style curries etc. Lots on offer including deserts. Prices good.

Have been eating here for years and food is mainly good but can be hit and miss. Ordered for collection to save the extortionate delivery fee. Not the first time that staff, including the manager have been routinely rude. Ignored on arrival. Then spoken to...

Firstly this venue is normally very good and recommended. On my first visit my plate was very greasy underneath and had yellow curry on the underside. The dish was average. The rest of the meals were very nice. And the problem was sorted straight away...

On arrival all seemed OK, we had first sitting at 1730pm, we were shown to our table, as we are regular clients to the restaurant we noted immediately that no tables had been removed for social distancing, there was also no system in place. Ok...

He estado comiendo aquí desde que abrí hace muchos años. La comida se ha puesto más y más picante. Mis platos favoritos a veces son tristemente incomibles. Curry medio aquí a veces bien, a veces no. . . no consistente. También un gran problema es el personal de la cocina en blancos muy sucios, fumando, escupiendo y desechando sus talones afuera en el lado del estacionamiento. No me llena de confianza en la higiene de su cocina si se comportan con tal falta de respeto por el área.

Cada vez que como o saco la comida, la comida sabe igual y eso es lo que me gusta. El personal es muy profesional y educado en todo momento, ya sea que esté comiendo en el restaurante o saliendo. Nunca he tenido que esperar mucho por mis comidas y puedes pedir que te traigan a la mesa cuando estés listo. Nada es mucho problema. En mi vida he visitado muchos restaurantes indios y Aagrah siempre es mi favorito.

I was at the restaurant with friends for a birthday meal. The service was terrible and the food was just laced with random spices and swimming in a pool of oil. We all ordered a variety of dishes and all tasted very similar. We were given a cake (which we were not told would be charged for) and the cake tasted off and had clearly been kept in the refrigerator by garlic. Worst restaurant I have visited in a long time.

nice busy restaurant that had a welcoming feeling to it lovely food & the staff very helpful and attentive (unlike the Aagrah on the A64 near York)

After a busy day decorating, a curry was in order. I ordered a takeaway from the Agrah at garforth. My order was ready in 30 mins. The meal came in a handy cardboard carry out box. The meal was hot and i was surprised at how well packed it was. I had a mixed grill it came with a tub of salad a full tub of rice and 2 sauces. Plus a mixed veg. It could have fed 2 as that substantial. Very impressed with service, quality and quantity of food. Brilliant takeaway

The people that run this curry house are very, very pleasant and very accommodating, we only go when been to the races as it's not on our doorstep, my friend and I have had in the past curries that were too hot despite asking for mild, our husbands are fine with it being hot. The decor is very, very dates, dull and dark with wallpaper coming off the walls in places also a distinct musty smell at times.

We’ve been going to this restaurant for years but unfortunately it’s really gone downhill Last night the mixed fish starter was over cooked and I left quite a bit of it and I ordered the sea bass from the fish menu as my main There was plenty of it but it was not nice The fish was grey and dry - I think it had been frozen for too long coz it was definitely not fresh I tried each piece and returned the meal as at £15 it was too expensive to nibble on I ended up having a few chips - and they weren’t cooked properly being hard in the middle

Go here regularly for a meal with my partner or with family/friends. The manager is always on hand to welcome you when you walk through the doors.

I love coming here, staff are very good , very attentive nothing is too much trouble. This place is child friendly too. Have been to the Leeds city centre one too , nice decor. I've always enjoyed the food here.

I’ve visited this Aagrah a number of times with friends, the staff have always been really friendly and attentive. The place has a nice atmosphere and the food is very good. I’ve driven each time so have had mocktails to drink which are excellent, so judging by those the cocktails will be great too. Most nights food is ordered from the main menu but on Sundays and Mondays they have a buffet night. You have options of ordering from the main menu on these nights or helping yourself from the buffet at a very reasonable £13.95 per head. There is plenty of space for parking and this is well worth a visit.

Extensive menu and friendly staff. We were seated quickly even without a reservation. Plenty of vegetarian choice and I can highly recommend buying some "take home" DIY sauces, we absolutely love these and they are sooo authentic.

6 of us on a family night out. As usual food was excellent. Service as usual was also excellent. Cater for any need you have, great atmosphere. Super scenery. Most enjoyable.

Best Indian restaurant for miles Superp food Waiter service 100% Overall I wouldn't go anywhere else for a curry

This place has an extensive menu with a range of dishes I hadnt heard of as well as the old favourites. Ive been here 4

My wife and I visit the Garforth restaurant at least twice each month. The food and service is always excellent and consistent.

This restaurant never disappoints. The food is excellent, the staff are very attentive and the vegetarian options are endless. Would highly recommend.

Would say overall this was about 3.5 / 5 but I would rather be generous than not. Went for a Sunday Buffet instead of ordering off menu. The selection was wide ranging with the starters and mains all being of a good to high standard. A couple we didn't care for but of those we ate I cannot complain.

Visited on a busy Saturday night with a friend. Can’t fault a single thing about our evening. Service was fantastic, food was delicious. I would recommend any lamb dish in the menu, but the star of the show was the peshwari naan. Incredible flavour, covered in fruit and pistachios and a great texture . Aagrah’s is a must visit if you’re in the area !

The group I was with wanted to dine at the Aagrah Garforth, I went along thinking I would have something English like a steak or omelette but after some consideration I decided to go for a curry and I didn't regret it. it was really tasty, I really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back again and maybe this time be more enterprising. The service was excelled, the presentation was first class and all of the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

A table of 8 was booked and we were happily seated by attentive staff. I had Kaligi (chicken livers) to start which were excellent although lacking some sauce and onions as I expected it served in a sizzling dish but still tasty making me look forward to my main course of Fish curry. I went for the slightly more spicy version and my friend the more pale korma type serving. Sadly both were a sloppy mess with an absence of solid fish texture I would expect and have experienced elsewhere. In the early days of the Aagrah restaurants attention to detail was paramount I feel the management were relying on their past and have taken an eye off the ball.

Booked this for my husbands birthday and we dined on the 31st March.

Four of us dining with a variety of main courses. The vegetarian with us was the happiest but korma, makhani and monkfish were all bland. The place was busy but not full, so disappointing that service was rushed... Twice started taking plates away then realised one of us was still eating.

The staff could not be faulted they were very welcoming and attentive , the food however was bland without complex flavour or spice , the garlic naan was rubbery and tasteless , the seating is cramped ... wont be going again.

Party of 8 on a Saturday night. After 15 minutes wait we were taken to our table, although this may have been prompted by our reminding them that last time we had waited a full hour and had no intention of doing that again! Wide...

I have visited this restaurant twice now, first time couldn't really fault it. Lovely food, service was good even though...

We pre booked a table and were promptly taken to our table. From there on everything went downhill. The restaurant was heaving and it took an age for our starters to arrive and even longer for the main course to be served. We were constantly being asked if we would like more drinks which became extremely annoying. When the food arrived it was the usual Aagrah standard but in future we will book a table at the Sandal or Shipley restaurant.

The service is always excellent and friendly! It’s a good place to have great food and chill out! We’ve been coming here 2 years... here’s to another 2 years of good food and service! Waseem always goes out of his way to look after us and has recommended some amazing dishes to try!

Been here lots over the years and its always been busy and fast paced.food is plentiful,piping hot and delicious.staff happy,friendly and attentive.love the place.

We have been coming to the Garforth branch for our takeaways for many years now, and each time our food has been exceptional, never once has it lacked in taste or flavour. Their service is exemplary, when dining in we have been met with extremely friendly waiters, and delicious hot curries served promptly, and when collecting our takeaways, we are always served with a friendly smile, and the manager and staff know us on a first name basis. For New Years Eve, we decided to order from Aargrah for a large family gathering. Despite ordering past the cut off time for takeaways, we were still able to place a big order, which is reflective of their impeccable customer service. We simply can't fault Aargrah! Thank you Aagrah for making New Years Eve a great night for us all.

We visited Aagrah as a party of nine. Food excellent, service poor. Upon leaving three of our party overhead the waiters say “don’t worry we’ll clean your s@&t; up”

We've been here literally dozens of times since it first opened so we've witnessed first hand the business growing up from it's humble beginnings. The atmosphere, the staff, the food and the prices all match perfectly and I can highly recommend the Achar and Hydrabaddi dishes - the Hydrabaddi being the most full flavoured, the Achar the most tangiest... We lived in Scotland for 14 years but always called in for take-outs whenever we visited family in Leeds... Maybe we called in to see family because we were travelling down to get take-outs :-)

Been coming to the Aagrah for over 20 years or more and it is still serving sumptuous food. A relaxing restaurant and cosy conservatory bar area spotlessly clean. A good and very pleasant restaurant, excellent staff. If one consideration, years ago they used to have food warmers on the table but not now and the food goes cold very quickly ( unless you are a very fast eater ) please Aargrah can you put some method of keeping the food warm back on the tables, it would make your lovely meals that so much more enjoyable.

Very modern and welcoming restaurant, attentive staff and delicious food.Just maybe stop pestering customers about ordering drinks!

My wife and I have just returned from here . Havnt been for a while so I was looking forward to it .We are so disappointed. We decided not to have the Sunday buffet and went al a Carte. The service was incredibly rushed. The waiter was disinterested to say the least.Our starters were very small especially the Samosas . Two very small Samosas for nearly a fiver .The main course couldn't be worse ... could it?My wife has had Korma at many places and this was by far the worse in years .I tried it and had to agree.It was so poor we sent it backThe dish was no better on its return either even though it was supposedly freshly re made I have had better Korma out of a jar .Beer was tepid not cold.Poppadoms dips rice and nan were nice. I will never return to the Aagrah ever again.Give me Akbars any day of the week. Never ever been disappointed there .

Atmosphere relaxing and calm with a true authentic ambience. Staff very attentive and management first class. Food exquisite with full flavour in every dish. We've been dining here for over ten years. Great value and we'll continue to eat here.

Not been in years so it was a refreshing change to go back. 6.30pm.and it was extremely busy with a nice atmosphere. Food was good although all the Korma dishes were not hot. We really should have complained and asked them to warm it up. When we received the bill an extra £80 had mysteriously been put on. We complained and it was rectified. I would advise if you are in a large party you should always check your bill. If it had been split between the 16 of us we wouldn't have noticed the error. Beware

Visited Resto again last night and as always the good was yummy. We had sizzling platter, liver and machli masala as starters and murg sag, chicken tikka balti, chicken korma & Chicken Sindhi korma. All v good and would defo recommend

I brought 22 of my family to this restaurant last night, pre booked a month ago for 7.30, to celebrate my daughter's 21st.. we won't be returning.. at 7.50 I asked if the table was ready.. eventually we were seated.. we had drinks and pickles and popodoms were served.. I asked for water for the table.. I asked again for water for the table on the 3rd time of asking the easier told me there was nothing he could do as there were no clean glasses.. I proposed he go away and wash some.. I ordered more drinks.. some came some didn't and one wasnt right.. having ordered the food within maybe 20 mins of being seated.. 2 hours later I asked where the starters were.. waiter tells me they are busy..2.5 hours later I complain possibly to the manager.. he assures me the food will be served promptly and the mains will be much quicker.. the starters come out in dribs and drabs the waiter doesn't appear to really care if they are the correct orders or not.. the manager comes over and offers some complimentary wine.. I accept.. the waiters continue to generally ignore us.. the mains come out in the same fashion.. some parts of the order are missing.. so 30mins after the mains come out the waiter comes out with some naan bread that was missing.. I send it way.. what's the point we are almost finished.. the food was fine.. that's it fine.. the staff genuinely don't give a monkey's uncle.. we were given a 15% discount off the final bill.. oh and the wine.. be under no illusions.. the point of this 'restaurant' is to pack the place to the rafters and take as much cash as they can at the expense of the customer experience.. it was a disgrace.. we spent over £500 a 15% discount and some cheap own brand plonk does not go anywhere near making our 'experience' a good one.. luckily for us the company we were in was excellent, so the night wasn't lost.. but the restaurant is! We won't be returning nor recommending this.. what is essentially, an overpriced sweatshop.

Excellent I have always had the best curry ever here .. my fav lamb Achar and mixed veg starter

I highly recommend the Aagrah in Garforth!Staff are friendly and accommodating, happy and fun yet professional.I have been going here for years and always return the food is perfect every time and they are always happy toncooknfishesbtontourbrequirements.Parking can sometimes be tricky at busier times.

I love your food and the service is good too, but i was appalled to see that some of your prices have risen by over 30% in a matter of a couple of monthsHow can you justify such a huge increase?Unfortunately, I now have no other choice but to go elsewhere, i simply can't afford to be paying +/- £18 for a takeaway guys!Its a shame because your food is superb.I wonder what will happen when interest rates start to go up? My guess is that you will see that as another opportunity to hike up the prices.Disappointed, but will go back to paying a sensible £11 for the same food (albeit slightly inferior, but not £7 worth if inferior).Feedback welcome!Richard

My wife and I have been eating here since it first opened. We love it!The staff are very friendly and attentive. Service can be a bit slow at times but over the years has generally been very good.The food is very high quality, both as a takeaway and in the restaurant, and portion sizes are generous. Never had a bad meal.Pricewise it is very good value for money, even better if you obtain one of their Privilege cards and eat here as often as we do.Can't fault it. Hope they continue with their high standards.

I've been coming to the Aagrah in Garforth since I was a boy with my family and I'm always excited to visit this restaurant. The authentic quality of the food is unrivaled and the dining experince has always been spot on. Best indian restaurant in Leeds
