Aagrah - Shipley in Bradford

Very dirty smelly in the washroom, unhygienic flush is not working, food is dried since it's fresh if you eat buffet. Loud music that you can't even hear family talking to you. Price is high

Not bad curry, but only serves non alcoholic beer grr

First time tried the brunch I must say food was spot on the breakfast was lovely absolutely delicious. Their tea was next level. Really enjoyed the starters and main dishes 10/10 staff were really friendly too. I would deffintly recommend the aagrah in Shipley.

Food was hit and miss some of the food was ok other was very average and not much variety really disappointed below average compared to other buffet place's I have been

I've had curries cooked by non Asians that had more flavour, this place gives other Aagrahs a bad name!! Nihari - no flavour at all, just salt. Even some fresh coriander, chillies and ginger might have made it better. Korma - no flavour at all, just salt, chicken is cheap and over cooked. Naan - small for the price and doughy (I suspect not made in house) Chicken Pakora was lovely. I'll stick to Midpoint from now on!

Great food and friendly staff. No alcohol served however on my latest trip.

very friendly and helpful staff. . Excellent food options and taste was great and authentic. Pray facilities also available which was very useful. I definitely recommend

Absolutely fantastic buffet, lovely staff and family orientated environment. Food is amazing definitely recommended.

I went to the buffet yesterday it was absolutely amazing the seehk kababs were to die for and the nihari was pitch perfect the sauce was thick and the meat was so tender also the spice level is perfect. The atmosphere was good and the service was amazing the waiters were extremely friendly and the manager was a great host. Would defo recommend this place❤️

First time of visit at the buffet food was spot on very satisfied

Tried again different place just was cold And currys was way to spicy dont think I.will return

I went to aagrah in shipley family of 10, last Saturday, they had special offer 50percent off to celebrate new dinning hall, food everything was 5star, amazing very satisfied, Thanku so much, Abid

Very disappointing, the buffet food was cold and a lot of the menu items had finished. The scrambled egg must have been days old because I’m currently throwing up because of it. Do better smh.

Not deserve for even one star. First of all starts very cold. We ordered 2x2 grill Tandori mix. Very bad taste. Fish was off, lamb Chops hard and not cooked properly. We ordered 1kg meat karahi, they gave us meat handi full of grave and not even half kg. Chicken Jalfrezi was cold, very had chicken pieces. Naan aas ok. Chapatis frozen one. Not freshly cooked. Waiter served us was good. One other guy was pretending he is supervisor was very rude to us. I asked him about something and he said what do you thing and started argue with us. Even I had family with me I didn't say anything back. But very bad customer service. Very bad behaviour, untrained and unprofessional. Very rude. Reported to his manager in the end, he was not bothered. Never again. I would recommend anyone this place. Do waste your money for rubbish food. Get quality food from other places. Food really bad, customer service zero and atmosphere zero.

Food was hit and miss, you would think their curries would be spot on but not all of them were. Lamb chops were beautiful but the ice cream and halwa let them down. Lovely people though, very friendly. Accommodated an extra two people for us and they were busy. Car park is tiny

False advertising (a buffet not meeting expectations).

Went to the buffet. Loved the roast lamb. Food is quite good. Issues. Waiters could he quicker to take away used plates They need to be clear during the reservation that every customer must order a drink with every buffet dinner

The staff are very disrespectful and rude. Food was cold

Aagrah Midpoint is better, better food, better service, and better atmosphere. We visited the flagship in Shipley for the first time only to be absolutely disappointed. The receptionist didn’t offer the Buffet and only offered A La Cart, we offered a £10 tip to change his mind. We rang for an hour to get a reservation but no one picked up, then on arrival the receptionist stated reservation only for buffet. When we get upstairs we fine 3 other unbooked couples waiting for buffet too. We were straight lied to by the receptionist. On to the buffet, the food was cold, ribs but no chops, the kicker, i only had few sips of my £7 mango lassi, when i went to get my second plate the waiter removed it. On request, the manager only offered to replace with a Rubicon can, which was at room temp. I, as always rounded up my bill and gave an additional tip however, i will never come here again! 4/10

Food was very bland. Atmosphere was very subdued with staff watching football on i pads. Toilets were scruffy. This place looks quite smart from the outside but inside was a different story. Despite it being a Saturday evening, there wasn't many customers in. This place should be absolutely rammed on a staurday night as its in a really good spot. Probably needs a freshen up and the food looking at.

Good atmosphere. Really cold and bland food for the buffet. Some waiters were arrogant speaking their native language about other customers

Went this past Wednesday with family for the evening buffet. I must say I’m impressed with the quantity of food they are serving compared to the competitive buffet prices. The food was mouth watering. The staff are very friendly, specially that one young very well behaved lad that kept clearing our tables and kept asking about our food. Very well mannered lad I can’t recall his name Rojib maybe? Hospitality was spot on! And food fantastic. I’d definitely recommend and come with my family again.

This place has gone downhill. We have been going for a lot of years but the new management are rude and the staff seemed unusually miserable and unfriendly. It feels like a school dinner hall now the work has begun and you could barely hold a conversation with the work noise at 6pm. They also charged us £15 for my 3 year old who we've never paid for before. No alcohol either! Sadly, we won't be back.

Great selection of really lovely food on the buffet as usual. Great value, can't go wrong!

Great breakfast buffet. They offer all sorts from the likes of hash browns, scrambled eggs to baked beans to Nihari, paaye, keema, channay etc to halva puri. The sweet lassi we had was lovely. The food was very tasty. The staff were more pleasant than the staff at the AAGRAH midpoint. Where we had a less nicer experience. There’s plenty of parking for around 10 cars onsite.

I really enjoyed the food ...different from your generic Indian experience.

Absolutely beautiful breakfast outstanding on all levels and generous price of 13.95 a head including seekh kebabs, and chicken wings, shepherd pie, haleem , also Nihari, paaye, chicken masala and my most fav Chana puri the best I have had.. will be coming again loved the chai and desserts too :)

Always top notch and beautiful restaurant 👌

Went yesterday first time as usually regular at midpoint. Our whole group was disappointed in the food, the lack of service. All waiters looked depressed and no one came to check on us. Asked for a spoon which would expect should be on table like all restaurants, in response was pointed by waiter where to get it from. Waiters were not interested in checking in on us. Worst was the guy behind desert counter. V cold behavior, he seems too protective over the deserts and didn't want dish out more than one. The variety is nowhere near midpoint, the quality of.food was v poor, the ambience was not great, and we were not welcomed when entered buffet entrance . First and last time here. Do not recommend!!

We visited the recently refurbished ground floor ala carte restaurant. It looked stunning. It was matched by wonderful Lamb Karahi and Garlic Nan I had.

Order was slightly late, but the food was lovely. Quite expensive compared to other places but worth it. Portions are enough to get two meals out of anyway.

visited this restaurant for their buffet around 8-9pm, paying £50 for the 2 buffet and two orange drinks. Unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The starters were limited, and one of them was empty when we arrived; it wasn't refilled. There was only a small amount of pilau rice and no special biryani, which was a letdown. The food was mostly cold, with some curries barely warm and lacking in flavor. The service was notably poor—none of the staff smiled or seemed interested in providing a good experience. When I went for dessert, the staff member seemed unhappy when I asked for multiple desserts and informed me that the mint ice cream was finished. Overall, the service was so bad that I wanted to rate it zero, but that option is not available.

excellent, tasty food as usual

Outstanding breakfast experience

We usually ho to agrah midpoint today was my first experience here. Start from booking table a man with very rude attitude asked us to wait , and than table given after 15 min despite it was not buzy, food was ok not like midpoint food taste but was ok. Then we asked for water waited 15 mins for water to come. Then for tea they asked us to bring cups back for refill or if u want tea again it was ridiculous , this never happen at any buffet restaurant. While asking for cakes he was giving it in a very bad attitude he seems to save all his cakes and sweet pots. Never going again will pay more to midpoint but not here again.

Gone downhill a lot in the last years..bad buffet..no alcohol..extortionate price..sad news really

Brought the family here when they visited from Ireland, great value for the buffet and food is replenished efficiently ! friendly staff. Reliable and good food we left feeling very satisfied

Good place for curry. The dishes we chose had a 2 chilli rating. We’re used to curry but this was a bit over spicy for us (though they will provide plain yogurt on request). So you may want to choose milder. Large portions. Seems to be authentic Indian from various regions, Huge menu. Service not greatly friendly. Alcohol free bar. We went a la carte.

Overall, I'd say it felt a bit expensive for what we had. The starter selection was quite limited, with a few things that clearly came out of the freezer rather than being made in house. There was a good selection of mains, but all on the very oily side with a good whack of chilli heat in most. Very limited on the breads as accompaniments, with just plain naan on offer. There were some nice puddings on offer - gulab jamun being a personal favourite. - but steer clear of the cheesecake cubes. I've no idea what they've done to those, but they were truly terrible. So a bit of a mixed bag really. I'd go back if it cost less. But for around £25 per person on the buffet, I'd not say it was worth it for us.

I recently have been here with my family of 5, we had struggle parking but that was not an issue, they told us the main entrance is closed, and we had to find our own way, to the breakfast, which could be better navigations, we sat down, and booked before hand, we sat down, and they was really not much option on food 🤨🤨! Its ment to be a buffet system, but the ammount of food, that their is to be, will say just don't come here, due to less English breakfast & desi breakfast, i got the Hash Browns which were probally the only thing i loved their..😂😂 to say i love food and i love the hash brows? Right? The desi food, had lots of currys but no warm crunch prantha, they would get hard really quick, an the jucies were disgusting. Taste like rotten sour food, 🤨! Really disappointed me as i have been to the Aagrah midpoint in bradford for breakfast & that was atleast decent! Staff was abruptly disgusting too, we left our players on the side of the table, to tell them to take but every time they would walk past, with the trolley, of dirty dishes, they would just miss it! Disgusting & annoying, and when we went to go to pay we had 3 adults and 2 childern, but we said on the phone is going to be 6, inside he put down 5 adults and 2 children, which increased the price, we would of walked off, paying extra, but my mum had to count the people and the numbers to realise they made a mistake not us, the were taking their time giving us our money back, and low staff serving as well we just asked for cash as it would of been easier as they were taking very long transfering the money back in the account! Would not recommend please, don't come here if you would love a full english breaky!!

Excellent table service enjoyed as always a little different to last time curry a little too salty but still enjoyed it. a lot more selection on starters mains and deserts sticky toffee pudding to die for absolutely gorgeous 😍 😋

Had buffet meal , was very dissappointed as limited vegetarian options . Veg samosas were filled with gunk with no identifiable vegetables inside and the spinach dish was so salty I'm sure it was a health hazard . Staff got mixed up just bringing soft drinks over to the table , a straightforward task I would have thought .

Horrendous experience. We went for the desi breakfast at 1pm on a Sunday. All that was left were scraps of food. The scrambled desi eggs were swimming in oil 🤮 the buffet bar was dirty and a poor gentleman asked the chef if they would make him a fresh omelette (don't blame him) and they flatly refused. The floor was cover in food and stains and even the water glasses had lipstick marks. If this buffet was half the price at £6 per adult, I would not return. Please, if you can't keep the food looking fresh, replenished and tidy, then don't charge people, it's shameless!!!

Went for the new breakfast buffet menu and everything was spot on, food, value for money, variety, space, atmosphere. Genuinely can’t complain at having everything included in the price as in desi tea and juice. Breakfast for all palates too, English and desi, something for everyone

Tried the newly refurbished Ala carte Restaurant. Highly recommended. Freshly cooked food.

💯 % recommended restaurant I never had that kind of delicious food ever in my life service was 10 out of 10 , so many options (buffet)

the food was overcooked, dry, tasteless, by far the worst Indian food I have ever ate. the nann bread was dry chicken was dry in all the food we ordered. the mushrooms were overcookedin the rice and felt rubbery and crispy on the edges. the karahi chicken was dry and sauslceless. spent £70 on a meal that went in the bin. we were recommended this place and we were so disappointed, very poor indeed

Waste off money.food was blow avarge we come all way from northampton.but very disappoint food taste not good and it's old too.prathas was hard wings was smelly.n other food don't have any good taste.

Chicken was dry. Rice was watery. Onion bajis nearly £6 were just greasy battered onion rings? Naan bread was dry with no butter on them at all, stale. Vile. Would not recommend this place to ANYONE

Nehari is best,chani and Pai need to improve little bit. Over all it's best place for food but the worse thing is Alcohol. I will not visit again because of alcohol

Had the Buffet upstairs! Absolutely disappointed I have been using Aagrah restaurants for 25 yrs + this is not good from a high standard . No wonder there is restaurants in Skipton and ilkley have Closed . The food was very limited in respect of curry selection . I brought my partner for a lovely buffet dinner and was hoping impress but I was very disappointed. Lacked taste . Looks like cut backs have taken a trip for the worst 😩😩😩

Buffet was incredible definitely be back again

Food was okey but dont ask for costumer service because they even dont know when someone do something wrong instead of say sorry but they start arguments like a bla bla bla

Where to begin? Wife and I are reasonably local and often go for a linch buffet possibly around twice a month; food has always been good, variety and and atmosphere very acceptable. Today however, all seemed different and we were told that it’s no longer a lunch buffet but a combined brunch / lunch buffet. Okay, not a problem. So they have dumbed down the options as really it was just a breakfast buffet. None of the food tasted good and often lacking in salt and spice and not fully cooked (potatoes hard, fritters still a good way to go before being edible, chick peas bland. It reminded me of a builders all day breakfast option and certainly the clientele were there for just that. There was a couple who actually got up to fill up their plates at least 6 times. Most embarrassing was the said gentleman ate stood by the buffet finishing his plate before refilling….. its no wonder many of the food containers were empty and those that had some food were tepid if not cold. There was definitely a change in the chefs, didn’t recognise either of them having visited for around 18 years. Waiters were good as ever, but the air conditioning for whatever reason was not on which didn’t help the external summer heat of 25 degrees plus. Come on Aagrah, you can do better than this; there are standards to maintain please.

Very disappointing food. Tried to contact restaurant and no response. Swimming in grease and cold chips. Left the food as it didn’t seem fresh had a sour taste

Horrible all around food got burnt taste 1st n last time today wouldn't recommend waste of money

the food is good in quality and taste 🙂

Always top quality food and service. Excellent wide choice on the menu, have eaten here many times over many years and never disappointed. Buffet options upstairs, family friendly throughout. Couldn't criticise if i tried

Delicious and tasty food. Lovely staff.

Went for brunch friendly staff nice atmosphere fresh food hot plates over was an enjoyable experience

Food dead,Atmosphere dead felt like a punishment even coming here to be honest. Horrible customer service Would never come here again

My 2nd visit for the Brunch Menu. A great selection of food, including fruit, pastries, English style breakfast, and Indian cuisine. Freshly cooked, tasty food, with great service and value. Eat as much as you like, you will not be disappointed.

Quick delivery. Food delivered hot. Really good quality food and would definitely order again.

Been there twice for the Breakfast buffet, everything is good. Taste is hit and miss, once it was few things that were really good and next week it was different items that taste great but overall if you are buffet fan then must visit this, very reasonably priced, staff is really friendly and kind. For parking needs to register inside at tablet.

I have been waiting longer then what I was expecting

Absolutely fantastic food and great service and friendly staff specially shazaib gives quit good service

Amazing restaurants great breakfast buffet loved it so yummy food will go again soon thank you

Had a great meal. Would recommend the lamb.

We went to the Shipley Aagrah buffet this evening, we used to go quite a lot and the choice and quality was good. The price has gone up which is understandable but the quality was very poor, we won't be going again.

I lived in Shipley until 1997, was a frequent diner at the original location. Seems time and the expansion has really pushed the quality down. Service was slow and unfriendly, prices were way too high. Food was over spiced, old , stale definitely NOT freshly cooked. I have my go to lamb Rogan josh, this was their signature dish back in the day, what a real shame, old lamb, old sauce, old coriander. Chapattis were rubbery, terrible range of alcohol. Shame, I was Soo looking forward to this visit. I was with 6 family members and their food/experience mirrored mine. Shame.

May be worth changing your oil, chips were awful and dark brown cooked in old fat, chicken overcooked

Ordered from just eat £40 for 2 starters, chips and a main. Chips under cooked and very greasy, curry very oily, onion bhaji like onion rings and didn't resemble anything thing like a bhaji. Raita was congealed and tasted off, almost like it had had been frozen. OLD BUFFET FOOD FOR £40!!! Place needs a Gordon Ramsey inspection. Grim is an understatement.

Fantastic service fantastic food !

food was horrendous the curry was 13.00£ not worth any money at all..

Visited the buffet with friends. It was ok. Nothing special. Tried 3 different dishes but they were just OK. I would expect one to be average, but all 3. Sorry but I get better takeaway dishes. The starters were OK too. Sadly. Perhaps I should have tried the main restaurant downstairs, but I do expect something better from Aagrah

We travelled from Sheffield to Shipley for Breakfast bufett and its was worth all the hassle/ commute. Such huge variety for beakfast as well as brunh items ( curries) . Staff was very helpful especially man in the french beard and Mubashar in the kitchen. Great food @ Great price. Will definately visit again

Delicious range of dishes to choose from in the buffet menu, friendly and attentive staff, relaxing atmosphere

Quality was far from what the restaurant usually provides. Very disappointing considering the prices.

Ordered chicken balti , no sauce , very dry , tasted bland . Very disappointing.

Great venue and lovely food. Good choice at lunchtime. Great value for money. No interaction or please/ thanks from staff. Staff gave no conversation at all . No smiles . Venue and food spot on

Absolutely brilliant food and company

I’ve always wanted to come to a Aagrah restaurant and we wasn’t disappointed we went for the buffet amazing and it was £15 cheaper than one we eat at will definitely be going again

Absolutely shocking - the food was average - but the hygiene was absolutely shocking - needs reporting and so we shall - mushrooms growing in the men’s toilets- will never return ever

Not what I was expecting. Food all fairly bland, and took a while to come out despite our table being the only one still ordering (there were 3-4 other tables of guests but they already had their food when we got there).

It gets bust at weekends, and food is spicy. But the staff are good and listen to needs.

We went for the Buffet. It was very good. I have had better. But for a buffet it was decent. 3 or us including drinks and some coffees. £74

Ordered takeaway several times. Must have had 30+ different dishes. Always top notch. Hard to beat. Also had them cater our wedding…. Were fabulous. Couldn’t recommend more.

Aagrah Shipley truly exceeded all expectations! The food was outstanding, and the service was excellent. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of dishes and delicious food selection available even on a Monday evening. It was an absolute treat dining here, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience!

Not the cheapest but nice buffet food. Recommended

The front of house staff member that we met as we came into the restaurant was a tad frosty and not particularly welcoming. The service was quite quick and the waiter that took our order was pleasant. They didn't do draught beer, only bottled. Didn't have any of the fruity gins on the menu nor any of the Belvoir soft drinks which were also on the menu. Ordered 4 mains with rice, roti and naan sides. Took around 15 to 20 minutes to arrive. The waiter that brought the meals can only be described as sullen and he literally slammed the meals down on the table without a smile or any eye contact. On inspection, all the meals looked the same although they were 4 different curries. I had a little taste from each one and again, they all tasted very similar and just swimming in sauce. They were all edible enough but only very average. The place just feels like we, as paying diners, are an inconvenience? The waiters that were pleasant seemed distracted. Why have a restaurant when your staff clearly can't be bothered? Up your game guys. Would never eat here again. Lots of other great places in Shipley and Saltaire that serve great food and with care and a smile 😃

What can I write?? typical Asian.

It's not very spicy (it's not spicy at all to me) and it's not a high curry taste, however I must say I find it best curry restaurant in Bradford, in terms of quality and value. As well,the selection of deserts is great (and they got ice cream)

Very disappointed to say the least! Visited last night for a family meal. Service was questionable to say the least, there was no pleasantries or smiles. Wrong drinks order came, no apology for this and just miserable faces back from the staff . Main course arrived and both mine and my husband’s curry was inedible. The ‘madras’ was at best something from a tin/jar and our other curry was burnt and bitter. Called the waiter over to let him know and again there was no apology, we were met with a face that couldn’t have cared less. Needles to say I rejected their offer to remake our food and rather just chose not to pay for said meals. Overall experience was shocking and unexpected given we’ve been dining in these restaurants for many years and have always been pleased with the food/service.

Very disappointed went with hubby for a birthday treat for the buffet booked for 9.30 felt like we feed off scraps that were left and staff busy sweeping up around us while we ate 😂 not a good vibe at all

food not up to usual standard, tikka marsala mainly sauce, not much meat and lacked taste. realty disappointed overall

Came in today with my family including two children. Great atmosphere, great and helpful staff, and amazing ethnic food. They have a great selection of food and lots of different meats. They also have a nice dessert section with lots of selections of ice cream and fruits. Well priced. Would definitely recommend this buffet if you are around Shipley!

Overall, we had a good buffet experience. Most of the food was very nice, but undercooked chicken tikka (reported but no apology and one of our group finding a metal shard in another dish) took the edge off the evening. Bar service was exceptionally slow

We tried buffet. Great food. Loved almost every food we have tried. The number of items is a little bit less compared to other places but the quality of food was exceptional. Really enjoyed mutton, chicken, and lamb items. Desserts were on to the point, not too sweet, but every pudding had their flavour, which I really liked. Service from staff was very good. The buffet cost was around £20 pp.

Pre booked table for the buffet, plenty of food to choose from with excellent service. On-site car parking is free, but you would need to get their early to get a space.

Food and delivery good as always
