Abdul's in Wakefield

Really busy quite early on a Tuesday evening. First time in Wakefield on a business trip and the hotel menu is ultra limited. Didn’t really know what would be on the menu and perused the board for five minutes before deciding on the obligatory tikka masala on a meal deal. This came with naan, onion bhaj and a lassi drink. The counter staff were absolutely lovely which is so unexpected if you live darn sarf. Ordered my meal and stood back to wait. As mentioned it was busy but got even busier. At least four police crews turned up randomly for their evening refs, which is a bit of a clue as to the reputation of the establishment, obviously zero crime in Wakefield area! The meal took an age to come out and lots of people who came in after me got their food and left. It is all cooked freshly in an open kitchen. Mine came out in about 20 minutes after I had enquired as to its whereabouts. The food was very good, with a massive portion of bhajis and a very nice fresh bread. Tikka masala was a bit salty but still very tasty. The lassi was yummy tuck. I am back in Wakefield in a couple of weeks and will definitely go back to Abdul’s. Great value and decent quality.

Interesting and great food , Indian. street food meets fast food . We popped in after several recommendations , it was a bit overwhelming at first but the friendly helpful staff were great . Food was hot fresh and tasted great , starter , curry and Naan was more than enough for a hungry man

Yesterday evening I went to Abdul's in wakefield, with my friend, we had Taktak and chicken burger, wow service was great, and food was 5star, Abdul the owner is great person, and his Restaurant is 6atar, I recommend to everyone,

I go to Abduls at least at least 3 times a week be cause we can't be bothered to cook but it's worth it the prices are great the food is the best around Wakefield staff always polite and service is fast the salad area has a great choice to choose from so if you live near or visiting the area call in

One of the best takeaways in Wakefield the chef is the master of Kashmiri Dishes every dish is freash and made to perfection

Just had lamb curry was brilliant

Absolutely delicious food cooked fresh every time, great customer service, highly recommend this place, have been many times.

Amazing food, very fast and a great price

Abdul the owner was extremely rude while we were ordering. If that’s how he treats his customers I feel for his staff. Such a shame as we have come for years and the food has rapidly declined over the years. This experience will stop us from coming again

Dewsbury /wakefield main Desi logo k lia is say accha dosra option or koi nai....... And I think abduls's is more famous for british is more than desi

Banging food. Slow service. Expensive prices. Wakefield quality is much better than pontefract. Bad parking.

Lovely delicious Indian, desi style food. Food prepared in your presence and in time and worth the money. Good Ambiance and lovely staff

Friendly and helpful staff, great choice of food , well flavoured and good portion size. Very popular due to quality and VFM. Would highly recommend.

Great service, generous portions, great value.

Good customer care, staff were very friendly, helped and advised about the dishes, and food was excellent,would highly recommend

Abdul's in Wakefield is a very busy place. It was almost packed when we arrived. It seems some of it regular like it. Unfortunately the food was not for me. After a long day, I was looking forward to some nice food. Once it arrived and I looked at it, I felt I made a mistake. I got a mix grilled but this was not what I expected. The two lamp chops were nice, the rest I did not eat. The chicken tikka did not look like tikka and was not even warm. The kebab looked like something sorry and gain not warm. I filled myself up with some fried which I ordered as an extra. My wife claimed her curry was nice but she left most of it on the pan. She also had some onion bhajis which I also had. They were cold in the middle. It is nicely presented but it counts for nothing if you don't feel like eating it. Maybe they really need to revisit their menu and properly warm their food up.

It was my first time coming here and wow, I was amazed. The curry that I had (balti mushroom paneer) was gorgeous as it was really creamy unlike other Indians that I have been too. 10/10. Would recommend! 👍😋

Expensive but you get what you pay for

Abduls is absolutely brilliant would recommend to anyone, the food is excellent and the people are very friendly love it thanks

I don't live local (travel about an hour to get to Abduls) but it is so worth it. I have visited several times now and the food has been delicious everytime. A special thank you to Ahmed, he was polite, helpful and provided excellent service.

Very good Good open plan kitchen food quality excellent. Best in the area xx Quick and perfect blends. Also extremely busy !!

Absolutely lovely chicken masala, rotis and naan. Courteous staff. Always busy. Highly recommended

First time sorry but not for me

Best curry in Wakefield. Fresh and tasty.

Superb place.Great food. Great service. Competitive pricing.

Beautiful food as always from the smallest if orders to the more intricate. Definitely got that extra something I havent found anywhere else....made with love and passion of food 😍

very bad customer experience and mindfull when ordering menu , we will get different menu .

Really bad customer service and not received the ordered item, when we notified that they treated us very unprofessionally and the way they dealt things were really not acceptable.

After such a long time amazing food good service and most importantly the staff very polite and professional first listen attentively and then suggest overall would recommend

Great place, food cooked to order and nice and tasty. Definitely be back

I am absolutely disgusted and shocked at the way we were spoken to as a family from the til staff! We have never felt so discriminated in our lives!! We will be avoiding this racist joint, and will be sharing our experience with all our family and friends. As a regular, I would rather spend my hard earned money elsewhere. Avoid! Teach your staff some basic manners!!!

Awesome Chicken Achari with mushrooms apna style with chapatis. The sauce was creamy and thick with the perfect tang from the achar. Would definitely recommend.

Great service amazing food. Value for money One thing I really love about Abdul’s is that they have table cleaner and blue roll available for use, it’s great when it’s busy to be able to clean your own table, unlike some places where you have to wait ages or just eat on a dirty table. All in all Abdul’s is an amazing curry house You know its good when Abdul himself is eating what he serves!

It's such a shame. You used to be the best indian takeaway in Wakefield but now I'm afraid that each time I order I get a different meal from what it should be and it's never good! Abdul is great when he cooks, but it's so rare now. Abdul, train your staff your recipes and do quality check, or close PLEASE. No point in been open if your going to let sub standard food be sold under your name. Even the chips are pale and soggy or so overly salted that it ruined the entire meal. I won't ever order again. The best thing on your menu right now is the onion bhajis and even they can sometimes come out powdery. If you were a cheap takeaway then fair enough, but charging £14 for a curry, chips and a Nann is just plain ripping people off when the quality is so poor.

Probably not impressed much with taste of food. Not very typical of Indian Pakistani taste. Good for those who like nice place to enjoy with very light spicy food.

Absolutely smashing! Visited while away with work... Tried somewhere different every night and this was best by far! Absolutely delicious food, brilliant fast service and unbelievable prices! I thought the portions would be small because the prices are so reasonable, so I got a starter to go with my mixed kebab. And chips! Flipping heck I was absolutely stuffed but I had to keep eating because it was so nice! Takeaway provided in good containers, really well thought out. Might stop in next time I go the restaurant looks nice. Seriously... The kebab I paid £5.50 for here would be almost £20 at home and nowhere near as tasty as Abdul's!

Could do with a better waiting area for takeaway seena to just cater for sit ins Nice food

It was so lovely 😍 Every time you make the best food. And Tikka masala is one love🙌 Thank you so much 😊

Delicious, spicy and home cooked food. Very fast and friendly service

Insanely good food, for very good prices.

Always amazing food. They’re happy to amend recipes if it’s within their control too, we ask for Asian style on the more plain creamier curries to make them spicy and they’re always happy to oblige. Would always recommend.

Great food, value for money, girls behind the counter always friendly.

Great food and brilliant service, I would definitely recommend abduls in wakefield

First time here but not the last. Best Indian I've had in a while... Pleasent staff, fast service, excellent food....Highly rate 👍👍👍

Very quick and good service with amazing food

Stunning inside with friendly staff and excellent value for money. Shocked to see you don't get a limp salad with your kebab but get to pick it yourself from a huge salad bar. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Been to this place today.. Loved it.. order was quick, food was fresh and tasty. Well cooked and absolutely delicious.. Ordered 3 starters, 2 main course (paneer and lamb kadai), garlic butter naan’s, boiled rice. Will visit again.

Food is oky but a bit pricy But all food taste same and abdul need to improve customer service

Ordered from takeaway. Food was nice but not exceptional. I would eat here again definitely.

Heard a lot about this place and surprised how good it was, was busy but service is quick and efficient. Ordered 3 starters and a main with naan, all fresh and really good with prices low compared to most places i have been to. The curry was spicy and well seasoned, came in hungry and left with a big smile.

If you enjoy Fresh Clean Cooking with Chefs & Staff (the whole team) who are passionate about making your eating in or take away experience an amazing one then go try a meal at Abdul’s - CONSISTENCY at Abdul’s win it in every department every time.

Biryani 🍚 absolutely amazing plenty of meat 🍖 and other vegetables 🥒 £9.95 great value 🤑 Mixed kebab 🥙😋 really good Donner and chicken on a fresh naan 🫓 £5.95 And plenty of salade at the bar £1.50 loads to choose from. It's great seeing in the kitchen how they all work. 10/10 food and service

Best place to eat in town. Food is delicious and consistency is second to none. Made the same everytime. Never let down. 5 stars

I come to Abul's often. I came on mother's day and Abdul the owner was there. What a nasty horrid man he is. He was rude, intimidating and put his female staff down. I had asked the young girl on the tills for a curry and explained I wanted the one with sauce not the dry one, she knew what I was talking about and all was fine till the server gave me the food and said sorry we could not make that dish with sauce. I would of walked out with the food had she not approached me on this as it was for my daughter and I would not of been aware it was not what she wanted. Then he came Mr Abdul, what a vile rude nasty man he was. He was shouting at me, calling me a liar, telling his staff nothing will be good enough and more, I was just going to leave and another young girl wanted to make it right and he kept saying thing's to the point I had to leave and sit in my car. when I went back in he started again saying oh what is it now what does she want now, I'd gone to pick up my order, he was saying the girls on front are just girls not chefs and they don't know anything. The females said sorry to me for his behaviour and they were lovely but I will never go to Abdul's ever again for that man to speak to me the way he did Infront of my child who has autism and was extremely upset.

Very nice, great value for money. Order at the till go find a seat and bring your food to you. To say who busy they are the food comes out fast. Can't complain about nothing, great staff. Sometimes it can be hard to get a seat the place is that busy.

I have been going here for a few years but the service on my last visit was terrible, first I was told 15 minute wait for the food. Then when I got there it took another 20minutes and they had forgot my order so I had to tell them it once again. I asked for a plain naan they gave me a cold garlic one and the chicken burger was dry and frozen.

Fantastic food as usual, no other place like it, been eating here from day one,keep doing what your doing, can't top perfection 🥇🥇🥇

Lovely food, good ambience, reasonable prices.. helpful staff.. 👍

A different takeaway experience. Place to sit and eat as well. Fresh food at reasonable price and not a lot of delay for the food. Meal deal available.

Rude staff on the counter ill mannered, got my order wrong and accused me of lying in order to get free food will not be going back to this in particular one again

It was wonderful, I had delicious Asian food with family.

I’m so happy with the food from here. We have ate here multiple times in the last month and every dish has been delicious and gluten free available. All the staff seem helpful and have a smile on their face and my kids love the chicken korma. We have been traveling Europe for the last 2 years and apparently this is their favourite place so far 😂

this place needs shutting down, disgusting food preparation areas, cooked and raw meat left on the shelves without being refrigerated, stock being left on the bare floors how no one has got food poisoning yet is beyond me

Order asked for Asian style, Masala Fish.... too salty, no masala. Lamb biryani .. tasteless, no taste of Biryani Chicken Acheri ... wrong dish came out packed ... chicken makhni was received instead of Acheri.

Can't complain about anything. Touching perfection.

Love the chicken Jafrani and the mango lassi is lovely. I don’t live in Wakefield so it’s a treat when I’m over. Did a phone order and it was quick. Fabulous as always.

Amazing food, well priced, consistent and friendly staff!

Where do i start? Table sizes are like a kids play table...... we waited over 45mins when we was told 15mins. Do not listen to the waiter , archari isnt the one..... one guy in love with bringing sauces every 5mins , he must be on sauce commission. Vibe wasnt the one, starters served in unacceptable paper trays..... table was so small kept dropping stuff

Chicken karahi was bad not asian styal food don't go this place rude and nasty customer service and food is bad not asian style food nasty food

Waste of money. I think they need to google the recipe of nihari. They don't know what actual nihari is. So dissapointed

Very busy place. Good prices with nice tasty food.

Asian food,this restaurant surprised me,the service,i was amazed how quick it was,they got my food ready,it felt like being in a fast food restaurant but not,yes you heard that right,they were cooking dishes like flipping burgers! I never had strawberry on the side with my starters a bit confusing fusion food! I did enjoy the food very much,great place..

Today i would like to tell all of you about Abdul’s owner Abdul Ghafoor. I’m not gonna talk on food I’m here to talk about what he’s doing with his asian peoples staff who are basically the main role in his restaurant. I have never seen a stupid boss like him coz he tease his staff on daily basis he always shout on them he never appreciates his own asian peoples he never respect them he pays just small money and tell them to do everything this is what the reality and I’m sharing experience from one of his own employe Muzamil Khan who worked here. First he kicks him from the job and then he didn’t pay his 4 days wage and when he asked for his money he blocks him everywhere and never respond him. Muzamil is innocent guy and didn’t come to his restaurant again because he don’t want him to be ashamed for little money. I’m also living in wakefield and i swear to God if you didn’t pay his 4 days wage i’m gonna tell every asian community which are local to me what you’re doing to your staff. I’m mentioning his Acc details and name then you have to send his 4 days wage tomorrow otherwise it will make big trouble and I’m sure you don’t wanna ruin your business just for 200£. It’s his right because he works for 4 days of week from 16:00 to 24:30 every day so you can’t eat that I’m sorry Abdul. And if you deleted this review i’ll put again and again to show your reality to all peoples. Sort Code :- 110385 Acc No :- 12285464 Muzamil khan.

I stumbled upon the Instagram videos of the preparation, it is a disgrace to Indian cuisine. I would recommend Abdul to call the restaurant Pakistani or Bangladeshi to truly represent his roots, rather than lying about a cusine he has never witnessed. All the videos were with actors and models. I hope they didn't hype the reviews as well. Absolutely disgusted with the food and videos..

Place needs regular cleaning when busy

Great food, quick service and always with a smile

Abdul and also the staff are super super stars, the food is delicious, different delicacies..very clean place, quality food , v tasty which is most important. Service is outstanding and they tailor the food to your needs when they can. This is a regular now and needs to be recognised as one of the best places I have been too. Thank you team ABDUL

Abdul's food for me is one of the best Indian's I've ever hard and I am very hard to please! Lamb achari is mouthwatering alongside the peshwari and garlic naan which are so yummy. Mixed starters, pilau rice are good too! Very cheap as well! I can see why it's a hit!

Clean open popular , good value , fresh baked naan . VERY salty main

The tables arw ridicilously small there was 6 of us and the table is same size as a table for 2 just the seating area is larger no space to put all the food

Went today and I have never seen such a disorganise place, I walked in and there was no waiters. I had to go to the front till myself to grab a menu. Once I ordered I did not get shown to a table and just told take a seat. My starters was given to the wrong table as there was no form of organisation with the eat in orders. I had 2 dishes which came to my table which was not what I ordered so this was sent back. I had to wait another 30 minutes for my food to come, it came out lukewarm and it was not up to standard or worth the hype and stigma around this place. The food was Mediocre and did not have much taste. P.S. The staff looked like they were forced to be there and had a face on the whole time they were serving. I could see the manager and all they did was walk around and not really involved in making sure the place is running fine or service is up to a good standard. Worst place I have been to by far from the food to the service. Was very disappointed Popadoms were left on top of the frying area with no form of box or cover, they was left there to collect dust and the staff was using this as-well for diner service

Local to me.. Lovely food, very tasty, always busy..👍

Always a good reliable and tasty Indian takeaway with a few places to eat in too.

What a shame! We’ve been visiting Abduls over 20 years! The curries were watery & tasteless the last time we went! We are gutted! Please go back to how you were before! We paid more & travelled for your food because you gave beautifully cooked food! Please do not skimp on cost!!

Excellent food. Beautiful place. Not from around the area ended up here as a last resort as normal go to place back local was closed! Would definitely return. Service is 10/10 cant remember the last place that had this good customer service. The lad at counter absolutely top man! So reasonable priced all was fresh!!

Food was really good, atmosphere was good zal was absolutely brilliant with her service and recommended us with food.

This isn't your typical Indian restaurant. More like fastfood meets Indian food. A McDonald's of Indian food if you will. The food is actually pretty good. I have rated the service as 3 as its more self service and the seating waits are long as there isn't much seating.

Reasonably priced good food love the salad bar

The mixed grill was so tasty with good portion! The staff are friendly.

Order 2 curry's, free chips, rice or naan not wanted, only to be told I can not have 3 pomperdom's, as it was not allowed. The fact I would pay for the pomperdom's was irrelevant. I think they need to train their young staff a bit better.

First time here, food was absolutely amazing and the staff were so polite. Best curry in Wakefield! 🤩

We’ve been visiting Abdul’s for over 20 years and it never disappoints. £12 for 2x chicken kebabs on naan bread, a portion of chips and 2x salads is outstanding value . Super tasty food, always freshly made, and friendly staff. So nice to see Abdul still working there! We’d recommend Abdul’s to anyone and I hope we’ll be visiting for another 20 years to come :)

Wow. Amazing quality and very very reasonably priced.

Absolutely awful. The curries were tasteless. The Dopiaza was unrecognisable. It was like a tasteless korma. It was creamy? The starters were bland and the naan looked like they’d bought it from a supermarket. So expensive for such terrible food. Avoid at all costs.

Very good food never had a bad experience here always absolutely spot on

Food used to be better than it is currently. Half the time the food we get is almost cold and all the curry's just seem to be very similar. A lot of creamy stuff and not much else. Hot Curries aren't spicy at all really and I'm a light weight when it comes to chillies. The salad bar looks questionable too. Some of it looks to have been there a while.

So butiful food nice enjoy thanks

Had a chicken korma was very thin sauce, tandori massala extremely salty and again thin sauce. Will not be calling again. Poor quality food.

Best curry house in West yorkshire without a shadow of a doubt. Very reasonable prices too

Amazing food, vast choice. Lovely staff. Kitchen is open so you can see how you food is being prepared and cooked. Quite busy, but I walked in and my order was ready within 25 mins. There is an option for pre order online or via telephone. Would definitely recommend for anyone local to wakefield.
