Aarti in Leeds

Lovely meal, would definitely recommend!

Lovely place with a nice cozy ambiance.The food was so delicious and genuinely authentic, it was a delightful meal. I recommend to anyone that wants to indulge in some really good indian food.

Excellent restaurant for fresh tasty Indian food . A must try in Leeds ..

Popped in here on my own working away. Food was fantastic, one of the best Indian dishes I have ever had. Will be coming back.

Great friendly service and fantastic quality traditional Indian food, reasonably priced Would recommend.

Food was wonderful - fresh, fragrant and tasty and the staff were fab. The lady who served us went above and beyond to recommend dishes that would be suitable for my little boy. Will definitely visit again.

I am a regular at Aarti. The food is prepared freshly and is very authentic. It tastes like home cooked food. I am a big fan of their Tadka dhal which has a unique texture and taste. The team under Shyamal is always welcoming and provide excellent service even during very busy times. I strongly recommend Aarti for authentic Indian food

It is an appealing and clean venue that has some cracking good curry. I opted for the vegetarian baingan masala. While not the cheapest, the portions are plenty to leave a big lad full.

An absolutely delicious meal last night at Aarti. This was my second visit to this unique restaurant and certainly won’t be my last. The machhi fish curry was stunning and the garlic bread is perfection!

One of the best city centre Indian restaurants. Good value, friendly staff & food was fantastic

Had this best authentic indian cuisine after so long. Thank you guys for such a lovely meal.

We had a great meal here recently and it really took us back to when we travelled in India! We had the thalis to try lots of different things and it didn’t disappoint. The staff are great too and can’t do enough for you! 100% recommend.

Had a meal here with my daughter. We had mixed grill platter followed by Maratha chicken, Rara Gosht Punjabi, Machhi Curry and a garlic nan. All the food was very good. Service was excellent. Ambiance excellent.

Absolutely cracker Indian restaurant. It was a find on the internet and a gamble with some good customers but the food was incredible, staff super knowledgeable and not a cobra or kingfisher in sight. Refreshing!!

Without doubt the best Indian restaurant I have ever experienced. We tried three starters and five main dishes and all were excellent. But the naan bread even surpassed them—soft, succulent and perfectly cooked. The attention from Sam was superlative. A wonderful serendipitous find on a stormy Sunday evening. Thank you!

Fantastic food! First time here and made to feel very welcome :) thank you

Lamb biryani was very delicious!

Very good food! Incredible service and all around a very good experience!

Super nice all around. Very balanced and flavourful food

Life changing palak paneer. Will leave you wanting more. Do yourself a favour and come here to try it out!

This is difficult to compare against the powerhouses as unique experience, there are some big curry houses hearby. I loved it, genuine Indian service, they asked About how/when you wanted your food in terms of how hot stc. The food was spot on and surprised me how it was served. It was right up there in terms of quality. They cared about our experience all the way through.

Absolutely fantastic food and service 🙏🏻 The menu is quite small but don’t be put off as they can tailor dishes to your requirements. I’m a fan of hot curries and they served me up a chicken Maratha which I asked for extra hot, it was delicious, deep complex flavours but with a great fiery kick. We also had a chicken Hariyali, medium hot that was also amazing. Would we go back? Absolutely! Would we recommend this restaurant to others? Most definitely! Many thanks for the fabulous food and directions back to the station, made the last train with three minutes to spare 😊

Incredibly good food and great service! Absolutely recommend going here.

Very nice authentic Delhi food, or so I am told. A different slant on the traditional Indian fare. It was quiet as we were mid afternoon, but a very interesting discovery in the middle of Leeds, were there is so much offer. I will be back!

Impromptu lunch whilst walking past, the window decor and lunch express menu attracted me in. The staff really friendly and attentive, I said I only had a short time for lunch; I was asked how long which was great. I enjoyed the express lunch which was a platter of 3 curries, rice, naan, salad and some lovely unusual popadom crisps finished with a gorgeous pot of rice pudding which was delicious, I’ll definitely call again when in the area.

Hands down the nicest curry I have ever had. Service was amazing too, very friendly. Cannot recommend this place enough. 10/10

Ate here for lunch today. All the food was hot out the kitchen, naan bread was lovely and fluffy, the chicken tikka masala was warm and flavourful, and service was good. No complaints and would visit again.

We had a lovely late lunch on a Sunday afternoon, probably the best biryani I’ve ever tasted and the thali was delicious. Friendly service and good value, a great city centre spot!

Comfortable friendly ambience. Fabulous food. Well priced. Well worth a visit.

GRTCC - Fresh, wow, we usually go to more traditional ‘curry’ restaurants, but really really good here. Fresh, vibrant, different loved it. Would I go again, yes.

Staying 1 night over in Leeds, noticed this restaurant across the road. I'm so glad I went here for dinner, the food is amazing and the service is top draw. One of the best Indian restaurants. If in Leeds again, will be back here for dinner.

Amazing food! Really good and not too oily! Super tasty! Amazing chai!

Visiting Leeds, I wanted vegetarian indian food and based on reviews thought I'd try out Aarti. Looked after well by Shyamal and the veg thali was excellent. Highly recommend Aarti.

Couldn’t fault it here - the food is beautiful and the staff are always very welcoming and attentive

How have we never been here before? A walk in on a Friday after work. We'll definitely return. Why? 5 stars across the board. Kudos to Amit and Karan in the kitchen and Shyamal for being really friendly. Thank You!

We visited Aarti after a day watching the cricket. Thoroughly recommend it. Good food and Indian beer.

Good indian food and atmosphere

Amazing food and service, the chicken biryani and garlic naan were to die for! Can't wait to come back next time we're in Leeds. Highly recommended.

We visit this restaurant regularly and have introduced many friends. Everyone has loved whatever dishes they have chosen. The proprietor takes great care to give good advice and to prepare dishes to suit his customers.

Amazing quality food, great atmosphere

An Indian restaurant, in our experience the food was delicious.

Food was incredibly tasty and fresh. My curry dish was really good and just the spiciness that the server had agreed with me. Even the garlic naan tasted really good with fresh herbs and garlic. I would recommend

We can't wait to return! - Food Quality: 5/5 - Service: 5/5 - Ambiance: 5/5 - Value: 5/5

I wish I could give negative stars for service, as I had entered an empty restaurant I was not offered a table. I waited there for couple of minutes and I did not see anyone walking in. That was really disrespectful. Not going to go back to such a rude place where the lady didn’t welcome me politely. I usually don’t give my reviews this long, but I felt it was really not acceptable to what I faced.

Was visiting Leeds for work and was treated to homely food at Aarti restaurant that transported me back to Mumbai. The Pav Bhaji and Vada pav were authentic and had an amazing blend of flavours. Each component of the dish was made with great care. I can confirm that all the rave reviews this restaurant has been getting are true and well deserved. Will definitely keep coming back for more amazing food & soul soothing hindi music.

We had a delicious dinner here. The food was excellent, the service friendly and efficient. We would all highly recommend coming here.

Great food , finger licking delicious... Had chicken Maratha and butter naan... It was just like being at Mumbai.. loved it!! Will definitely visit again with friends.. and try other dishes .. highly recommended if you love good Indian food.. you gotta try this one..

Worse food ever had in my life with my friend. Naan was from Tesco and roties was like paper .

Aarti bar & restaurant was a great experience overall. I am here on business and came across this restaurant on my way to the hotel and wow what a pleasant experience. From the atmosphere to the exceptional food and great service. I would I highly recommend this Indian as it exceeded my expectations. Thank you Aarti

A small and lovely place. The meat was tender and the sauce nicely spiced. Staff were pleasant, attentive and just generally lovely. I would definately recommend this as a place to try for others.

First visit and this was down to previous positive reviews. We can add now to the positive reviews and will definitely visit again. The food was beautiful and flavoursome, the hospitality outstanding and the atmosphere relaxing. This place is a hidden little gem and would definitely recommend others to also give it a try. Overall a 100% rating and looking forward to returning.

Four of us enjoyed a really tasty and great quality meal here last evening. The host Mr Kumar was very friendly and explained to us about the dishes and also the special Indian beer they serve. The starters were good and the main courses were delicious. We all chose differently so tasted a variety of what they offer. The vegetarian options were plentiful and varied too. We must try the Thali next time. Recommended if you are in south Leeds.

Very good food and great cosy atmosphere, was close to the city centre and the staff was helpful.

Food was amazing. I don’t have pics cause we literally devoured the food. Service was great, and all the food was great! Highly recommend!

Delicious, fresh, authentic. Excellent spot for lunch in central Leeds!

The food was delicious and reminded me of India. The spices were perfectly balanced. Much recommended :)

First visit, lovely staff, ambience and delicious food 🙂

Four in our party had dinner and all really enjoyed the food. The staff were very friendly and suggested good pairings of food.

We all highly recommend this restaurant and we’ll be back when next visiting!
