Poor Service long waiting times We waited over 45 minutes for some desserts. When I asked the staff how long it would be, they became quite annoyed with me even asking. Proceeded to explain that they only have two people working. I would definitely recommend a travelling to Leeds Road where the service is much faster and the staff are definitely more Courteous. Deeply disappointed

Have been here since I was a child and the food has never disappointed! Just had my first takeaway and the quality was exactly the same as eating in, my go to curry was exactly as it’s always been. Fast delivery, great quality and lots of food! Thanks so much Abid ☺️

Vinimos aquí sin reserva y nos proporcionaron una mesa. La comida es muy buena, sin embargo, el camarero fue antipático y se fue mientras todavía estábamos pidiendo Una pena porque la comida es buena, así que un poco mejor servicio al cliente y tiene los ingredientes para un buen restaurante.

Sadly let down We went here yesterday as a family of 14 for a birthday it was all going well the lady called in the afternoon and put balloons on the table so that was a lovely touch from then on it went downhill pretty quick. We arrived and ordered drinks half of them arrived and ten my husbands never came and then when they did they came with four cokes which my husband never ordered the waiter said that he ordered them then argued the point and said he’d not ordered them from him which he had.We ordered drinks with our meal and had to go collect them as no one brought them. To say the service was slow was an understatement three hours for one course is shocking no one seemed to know what was happening the waiter screamed the orders at us and then kept asking us what we had ordered Shonda he know that. Anyways enough the food was average, service abysmal wont be going there again.

Visited as part of a family birthday meal. I know when there is a large party is it sometimes difficult to serve and take orders and keep everything running smoothly but the service tonight was really poor. To take our order an age, waiting for drinks to come an age (strange waiting and chasing up drinks you ordered at least thirty minutes earlier as you would think they would want you to drink lots as it makes more money - not here) waiting for food an age - all in it was far too long. The food one the whole was good to average, nothing special to say the least and had much better all round experience elsewhere so won’t return in a hurry.

Quite an expensive takeaway compared to others, which I wouldn’t mind if the food lived up to the price however on this occasion it didn’t. The chicken tikka makhani was great, however the masala with paneer was very dry and didn’t taste like a masala - I’m not sure if there was a mistake in the order but it definitely wasn’t what I had anticipated. I’m not sure I would order from here again considering the cost and disappointment of one of the orders.

Visit abids for a meal with my husband over may bank holiday never been before so thought we would give it ago. We were not dissapointed we ordered two naans both of which were huge! My husband ordered a starter and I didn't want one (Curry's tend to be quite filling) but they were kind enough to bring out an addition plate for me. Staff we're very knowledgeable about the dishes and helped my husband make a choice to which he really enjoyed. Very polite and welcoming. We will be recommending to our friends and family! See you again soon!

My wife's birthday was attended by 6 adults and 3 children on Sunday 24th March 2019 at Abid's, and was a wonderful Celebration thanks to the Chef's wonderful food and the marvellous staff (Sidra and Ali) The staff also bought and presented my wife with a lovely box of chocolates and a Meal voucher. This was a really wonderful unexpected gesture and we would like to thank Abid, his daughter Sidra and of course Ali. They all made our afternoon meal there a lovely, memorable occasion. We all had such fabulous meals. Many thanks to all. We will soon be back (we cant wait!) for more of this superb food in the very near future. Love & Thanks to all from Jeff, Brenda & family. Highly recommended.

Fuera de una comida para el cumpleaños de mi hijo. A la llegada nos sentamos y tomamos una copa. Después de cinco minutos nos mostraron nuestra mesa. En la mesa había confeti de cumpleaños y fiestas poppers! Encantadora sorpresa Pedimos una mezcla de entrantes y platos principales diferentes y dos naans familiares de ajo, que es un deber tener! ¡Vinieron colgando de un gancho! El servicio fue excelente, incluso trajeron un postre con una bengala para mi hijo. En general, es un gran lugar para tener una comida encantadora, volvería.

Have been here a few times now as we're not exactly blessed with decent curry houses in Pudsey which is surprising given that it sits between Leeds and Bradford. Abids was always one the better ones but it seems to have improved even more to make it easily the best curry house in Pudsey.

Nunca he estado aquí antes. La comida era absolutamente insípido. Un chico de la mesa de al lado estaba teniendo pollo tikka massalla. Parecía asqueroso, ya que era de color rojo brillante. Si alguien que va allí dice que es el mejor que han comido curry son gruesas. Darme Akbars en cualquier momento. He estado en un montón de restaurantes indios y este es uno de los peores que he visto. Nunca regresaré.

I've been hear many times with mixed results. The food though is always good, it was always the little things that let it down. Poor service, bits missing etc.Well after a visit on Friday I was pleased have the perfect meal and service. Liver tikka is always a must, some of the best I've had, and I've had a lot. Chicken and spinach Baltic and a garlic naan. Watch out for the naan's they are massive and will easily feed 4 unless your greedy like me. Nice to see the place back on top 10/10

Ordered a takeaway, mixed grill and tandoori with rice and sauce, all the meats had been cooked and then coated in a marinade of sorts making everything taste exactly the same. and the tandoori was supposed to be chicken but it was tough and had a grain running through it which made it look more like pork. Most of the meal apart from the rice and sauce went in the bin.The sundries were not much better poppadoms were old, the raita had the consistency of ice cream the only half decent thing was the Nan bread

I have eaten at Abids regularly over the last five years. With visits on different evenings throughout the week. I can honestly say if you go on a Tuesday you will get the same service as a Saturday. When arriving on my first gist of 2016 this was around 8pm Saturday night. We were acknowledged straight away and shown to a table. The restaurant was pretty busy as you would expect. The table was already set, a pickle tray was served within minutes of us sitting down, followed by a request for drinks. They arrived swiftly. My usual favourites were ordered, chicken pakoras, chicken jalfrazi with a garlic nann. Chicken pakoras arrived with a reasonable time, five pieces and salad garnish. All freshly cooked. Fresh salad. Chicken jalfrazi was excellent, no bright unsightly colours, not swimming in oil. I cannot fault this place it is one of my favourite eateries.

Abids is a very good curry house at decent prices, Could invest in getting beer on draught as bottles can soon add up to a hefty bill but food wise it brill and they also do kids eat free with paying adults threw the week from 5pm-8pm (USE TO BE ABLE TO GET CURRY FOR KIDS BUT THEY NOW ONLY GIVE U CHICKEN NUGGETS/FISH FINGER THAT KIND OF RUBBISH SHAME REALLY) not been back since they changed that ruling

We called at Abid's recently for our dinner and as usual the service was excellent. We were shown to our table and given menus. We selected our drinks which were brought over and asked if we were ready to order. Between the three of us we chose a starter each and a main course. We ordered a family size naan and a portion of rice between us - with my son ordering chips as a side to his main course.This time round I chose the Fish Massala as a starter and the Chicken Tikka Makhani as a main. The fish was cooked perfectly and the chicken was too - especially tender.Service throughout was excellent as always even for a busy Saturday night. We will definitely call again soon.

One half of the Sue & Andy Curry Appreciation Society (SACAS) visited Abids for the first time for a girls catch-up. Arrived and greeted by a friendly waiter and directed to a table in the waiting area, we were offered and ordered drinks whilst we perused the extensive menu. Following the taking of our order we were taken to our table and presented with the customary pickle tray along with two poppadum’s. They were nice and fresh, very crisp and helped us to make the pickle disappear with relish. The starters soon followed and we both opted for Chicken Tikka which arrived accompanied by a little bowl of riata. The Chicken Tikka was very well presented with nice succulent pieces of chicken. Only slight negative for us was the side salad which came with quite a large quantity of onions. We thought it would have been better to have less of these and a better mix of other salad items but nonetheless starters were very enjoyable. For our mains I chose the Chicken Jalfrezi and my friend opted for Chicken Rogan Josh. The Jalfrezi came with a hardboiled egg which in my many years of enjoying curries I have not encountered before. I thought it was rather strange to have an egg plonked in the dish but on further investigation I realised that I had not noticed this was mentioned on the menu so the fault was mine. I’m still not convinced you need an egg in there with the dish itself being tasty, nicely spiced, with plenty of chicken with a good medium flavour. It was not quite as saucy as I would have liked for my own preference and therefore I found it a little dry but that’s my own personal taste. Accompanied by a Garlic Naan hung as it was on a naan tree, I did think of giving Norris McWhirter a call to see if they wanted to come and measure it up for the latest edition of the Guinness Book of World Records – it was absolutely huge yet nice, soft and tasty. Very good naan. So overall the service was really very good, staff being very polite and friendly. The food had some good points and some less so but that was due to my own personal taste. There is nothing major to dislike here and we both enjoyed the meal and Abids is yet another restaurant to add to the list of ones visited for the first time with a few more lined up over the coming weeks. Visited with a friend 7th July 2015

The food at Abids is lovely can't fault it. The service we received was terrible, the only good thing was they took our food order before we were seated, making us believe that the wait wouldn't be as long. Wrong. After waiting nearly half an hour for starters which were lovely! We then waited for another near 45 minutes for the main, again the food was Gorgeous and would go back again for that alone ( maybe takeaway will be faster) after our table was cleared a good twenty minutes after finishing we was then brought the bill, without asking for it, within 2 minutes of plates being cleared making us feel unwelcome, we then prompted that we would like dessert the waiter walked after acknowledging us and didn't come back to take our order! We got fed up of waiting and left. Will be ordering Takeaway next time!! Hopefully will speed up the whole process.

Loved the food, it's some of the tastiest food I've ever had - simple as that.However the service - some of the worst I've ever had too. The last three take away orders I've arrived home with have all been wrong and caused me to make the journey back and get it corrected, the errors range from missing items, wrong dishes and the last one was the wrong order in its entirety.Also, there is a middle aged guy who always wears a white shirt and seems to float about the bar area and be charge of the phone and till etc, he is an obnoxious pratt with the customer service and social skills of Adolf Hitler. He has twice been the recipient of my returned orders and not once has he apologised, and on one occasion I was stood at the bar (and the only one there) and it must have taken him 5 minutes to even acknowledge me whilst he wrote notes down - I'm thinking he believes he's too important for customers!

I'm sure Mr. Abid will remember us as we used to get the chicken hydrabadi with extra chili on a regular basis when they ran a takeaway in Chapel Allerton. It was superb! Eventually I moved away and then heard that the take-away had disappeared. Sad news.Some months ago I discovered Abids had popped up in Pudsey on a new business venture. Having missed the tasty treat over the last couple of years, I got excited at the idea of returning!5 of us went on our pilgrimage to Pudsey, but unfortunately it didn't quite hit the mark. The Hydrabadi and other meals were really quite bland, certainly not cooked to previous tasty standards.. although the masala fish was still good and the chapati's were great - fluffy.Plates and bowls were served uncleaned a few times..It was a Monday night and early, so I hope their Friday night's and weekends are busier. All together it was a bit of a let down.Come on Abids, you had something great. Best of luck.

Ordered was a portion of onion & potato bhaji they were dry & potato was undercooked Chicken tikka masala looked lovely chicken nice and moist but tasteless Chicken & spinach chefs special chicken nice & moist but unbelievably bland, shocking, it's supposed to be a chefs special Garlic & coriander nan bread the bread was nice, fluffy & fresh but there was a few flecks of chopped coriander and I can honestly say I couldn't taste any garlic, total let down Chapatti's not fresh so quite rubbery Peas pilau rice ok at bestChips are chipsCan't comment on the yogurt sauce even tho I ordered extra, none arrived even with the bhajis. I would not expect this quality of food even if I'd payed a £5 but it came to over £22 so all in all would we order from here again absolutely not.This is a 100% honest review of my experience with ABID's

Popped in here, first time in a year. The food this time was excellent - me and my partner shared the sizzling starter, then I had the slow cooked lamb and spinach and my friend a chicken handi dish. Both excellent, particularly the lamb which can be very chewy at some restaurants. I have an issue with the naan breads which are of the huge variety and arrive on a tree. Why don't the waiters warn you that it is big enough for two? As it was my friend ordered the naan and I ordered chapattis - luckily there were only two of us at a table for four, otherwise you struggle to hold a conversation with the naans in the way.Service was not as good, but a lot better than I have experienced at many an Indian.So overall, 4 stars and a recommendation - but try it for yourself - there are some very mixed reviews of this restaurant.

We were really looking forward to eating at Abids as it had been recommended to us. We had a nice greeting by one member of staff. we were shown to our table. .....we were offered a menu and a pickle tray was brought to us even before we ha taken our coats off!!. we weren't offered a drinks menu, so asked for the wine we would normally drink else where. I doubt very much the wine was as ordered, it was a cheap alternative.The two young girl waitresses were very inexperienced,neither of them acknowledged the fact we were there, there wasn't any eye contact,or conversation or even a smile. What they were good at was fiddling with their hair,not good when they are supposed to be serving food.. One of them wiped a table with what looked like a dirty towel, she re-set the table with clumsiness and so much clatter we actually thought we were in a school canteen.Perhaps the girls just need some customer service training, we all have to start somewhere, but its advisable to do this as quickly as possible, as unfortunately we won't be returning or recommending Abids to any of our friends....We were not offered a dessert menu,and instead asked if we would like the bill. There were only 4 other tables in use at this time but we felt extremely rushed,the whole dining experience took only 30 mins,slightly disspointing when we were looking forward to an evening out.... The food wasn't too bad,slightly bland,although we ordered two different dishes they both looked and tasted exactly the same. The waiter who sat us down seemed slightly older and this was in his favour,as at least he spoke to us. On the whole it was a bit of a let down. Sorry guys.

I have visited this restaurant many times since it opened & can honestly say I have never had a bad experience.I have had almost every dish on the menu & can strongly recommend the Hydrobadi & the Chef Special Lamb Handi (I like it with added spinach & mushroom). My other half is not overly fond of spicy dishes, however the chefs will prepare your chosen dish to your particular taste (mild to insane)!The prices are a little higher than some other curry houses, but you definitely get your money worth!

The food was shocking, worst curry I've ever eaten, then to top it off the staff behind the bar who you pay where the most rude ignorant people I've ever come across, never again.

It's easy to find on the street, with some street parking. There's a small bar and waiting area, although the drinks are pricey. The food is very nice, tasty, not oily, spiced well etc. Starters about £4, mains about £8, naan about £3. So it's worth a try BUT.....one of the waiters is the most miserable waiter on the planet. He served us at the bar without a smile, shoved my change into my hand without a word, served the food as grumpily as possible. It was bordering on rude and genuinely unpleasant. We've been several times and he's always like this, so goodness knows why he works there. Go for the food, it's worth trying, but try and go on his night off!!!

I just went into Abids in Stanningley Leeds and it was very nice indeed - pops and pickle tray, sheek kebabs for starters, chicken madras with one chappati and all washed down with two bottles of cobra - very nice indeed - next review will be Nawaabs in Leeds in a few days time.t

Went to abids for my birthday with family and my young children we booked the table for 18:30 were not seated 18:50 even though resteraunt was empty this was also followed with bad customer service and attitude by the waiters when we asked about the deal were kids eat free with any full paying adult main they advised that a starter also had to be bought with this we advised that it did not state this on the deal and they were very rude when we questioned this. the food took over an hour after ordering and when it arrived was very oily and not very pleasant I would not recommend this resteraunt As it was a let down from start to finish we will certainly not return.

Food was really good and lots of choice my only grumble was it was like a school canteen, the tables were very close together and the lighting very harsh, not at all good for a romantic night out.

Went here with a group of friends on a Saturday night and was very disappointed. The table was booked for 8.15, 39 minutes later we had to ask if we could sit down and then had to ask for menus again. Main courses didn't arrive until 9.45, way too long to wait.To be fair I may have chosen badly, others said their food was ok. I had the worst onion bhajis ever, they were soggy and flavourless. Then I had chicken khari with spinach for a main.this was completely lacking in any flavour and the chicken was diced into really small pieces. When the chapatis arrived, I had given up on my tasteless curry.Then to top it all, they were trying to rush us at the end to leave, when they had kept us waiting for a long time.I shan't be returning, there are so many good Indian restaurants in the area, so I'm not spout for choice.

Been going for years since it opened and never had a bad meal. Food is great, the staff are friendly and efficient, and often do great meal deals on a Sunday. And they open all day which is great. The only thing we don't like is the set menu and fixed price for special occasions ie new year etc so have to go elsewhere so you can eat what you want.

We've visited this restaurant twice now - and on both visits it couldn't be faulted. On our second visit we arrived at the restaurant before six on a weeknight and ordered two courses each, which meant we qualified for a free bottle of wine, which was a bonus. The food is delicious, the staff are very friendly and it's excellent value for money.

The four of us had a very enjoyable special value meal this Sunday (opens after 2pm) - great value and the total bill for us all ( 2 courses each including 4 coffees & 2 large cobra lagers) came to under £50. We were also given complimentary Poppadums and pickle tray included in all of this!Service was fast and courteous (Thank you 'Asif')Certainly recommend this restaurant on a Sunday.I shall return and then give an honest review re an evening meal during a weekday.

This is the second time my meat has not arrived with my main course in the takeaway we ordered. We won't be ordering from here again. Attitude from staff taking our order on the phone is poor and gormless. The food is nice but there are other Indian restaurants nearby more deserving of the business and just as nice, if not nicer.

We turned up on Saturday night and although it was busy we didn't have to wait too long for a table, the food was excellent- I had the Matter paneer and it was one of the best things I have ever had (they did bring me the wrong dish to begin with but this was quickly sorted out) and the service was quick but polite. It did seem quite loud but it was busy so thats understandable.

Visited abids last night had not been for a while. The staff had an attitude and everything was an effort. They brought the wrong white wine which was warm and not in a bucket. The waiter took our order but was looking elsewhere when we were talking and missed part of my order. Plates we're put on table without any care or attention. The waiter came with the card machine before we had been given our bill.It's a shame because the food was very good but we will not go back when there are so many others with staff that want to be there and give good service to paying customers.

I have never eaten in the resturant and never will after waiting a over a hour for a take away from them , the best bit is I live 6 -7 mins up the roadmaybe I should have walked lol. they guy went past my flat on his scooter twice before he found us and then had the cheek to lie and tell us he had just left the resturant, over priced and cold food but I was that hungry I did not even give him time to argue with me. so never again ABIDs ill stick with the Polash just over the road from them.
