Food is always top quality and great friendly service

Extremely expensive so expected a decent meal. 2 Karahis ordered but one very different to the other. Just tasted of tomatoes and wasn't medium spice. Roti twice the price of anywhere else and sogg. hana puri had no flavour, was just plain chickpeas.

Great restaurant. takeaway doesn’t disappoint. Appreciate that I can get a healthy curry which isn’t swimming in oil.

A favourite of mine for a good curry! Plus it helps that it’s a 5 minute walk from home. Service is always prompt and friendly Curry also very fresh and tasty, just the right amount of spice for me. Last night I had onion bahji, followed by chicken and spinach dopiaza. We shared mushroom pilau rice and chapatis Total bill with a beer was £25 each, which I think is good value

Can't really comment on the atmosphere as we normally get a takeaway from Deeva (because we have a dog) but tonight was a very unsatisfactory experience. The organisation and communication has been at question a couple of times from our experience but tonight was by far the worst. We picked up our order and found out that our chappatis were missing from our order, so my partner had to drive back to collect them while our curry was going cold. When she got back she then found that her curry wasn't what she ordered. She ordered a paneer spinach balti (which was written on the receipt attached to the bag) but after opening the container found a chicken spinach balti. Good job she wasn't vegetarian but it's not acceptable that she didn't get the food she ordered, not to mention the missing chappatis. The food is excellent but I think there is a communication break down at Deeva that really needs sorting out because we have had issues previously.

Tasty food and excellent service

the only time they've ever been late. No criticism, just a complement that they're nearly always perfect

used Diva many times before,this is the second time the food has been pretty disappointing, for what they charge for a small portion of soggy undercooked chips is ridiculous too,....the curries were ok but nothing amazing. standard has dropped.

Not entirely sure why this place is so highly rated. Ordered paneer tikka and there was no char on it at all, like they hadn't put it on a grill. The ordered a chicken tikka karahi which tasted like a slimming world curry and again the 'tikka' that you pay extra for wasn't tikka. Almost like they hadn't bothered to fire the grill up because it was a Monday. Naan was nice. Lacked flavour and felt cheated. Lots of better options in a short drive. Avoid.

We booked a table for 4 a couple of hours earlier. Friendly staff, decent menu and good selection of drinks. Good service at the table. Food was tasty and there was enough on the plate.

Great Indian restaurant in Farsley centre. Food was absolutely delicious. Tasty and plentiful . Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Loved the restaurant it was a great dining experience from start to finish. food excellent full of wonderful flavors tried the Kheema chicken beautiful best Naan bread I've ever had 5 star fr me

Food arrived eventually no communication had to call to chase

If you only come for one thing here, it has to be the food! Sounds obvious, but many restaurants have been declining in that area lately. Not here! Fabulous, varied, interesting menu backed up by genuinely tasty, fresh food. We started with poppadoms and pickle tray, so crispy, fresh, and full of flavour. Then yummy starters came - traditional shami kebabs, chicken liver tikka, and chicken tikka both so tender they melted in the mouth. Finally, we moved on to main courses of keema balti, Punjabi nihari and Punjabi hara bara. All completely different, beautifully cooked and presented. Don't miss the naan bread either! Crispy base, fluffy top, stunning flavour. Service is attentive and professional, atmosphere was buzzing on an early Saturday evening. Will make sure this isn't our last visit. Farsley village really is well worth visiting for so many reasons, Deeva is most definitely another one.

One of the best kormas I’ve ever had. Extremely well-priced, excellent location, and the staff were fantastic.

Great food and delivery service

excellent, as always. Best Indian in Leeds

Got a takeaway from here this evening. The Nihari was rubbish, about 7 pieces of lamb three of which were just inedible grizzle- in a slow cooked curry I’m not even sure how this was possible. The naan was the only saving grace.

Great food and service. The naan breads were very light. Will definitely go again. We have been 3 times now and really enjoyed the food.

Definitely not for Indians. None of the food matches Indian taste.

Always go to Deeva as my go too local Indian restaurant and takeaway. The service is always great and the food is consistently amazing every single time!

Ordered from there, asked for two of the meals to be cooked hot, when they came absolutely no flavour or heat to them, chips cold and rice looked like it was cooked the day before. Raised a complaint with just eat, they’re not interested. Going forwards I’ll stick to Shezzans, cheaper and better quality!

Visited this restaurant for the first time after a day out drinking around Farsley. Walking in it looked a bit like a canteen, not a problem but I just thought it’d look more authentic. We had a nice welcome when we arrived and were seated immediately as we had booked. The staff were lovely and friendly and very attentive. The starters arrived in good time and were delicious and hot, freshly prepared. We quickly polished them off and out came the mains. Fabulous food and the naan bread was to die for. Slight mix up on one meal but that was dealt with quickly and efficiently. All throughout the staff were there helping and making sure that our night finished on a high. Overall a 5/5 is a well deserved score, they ticked all the boxes for our party, food was great, staff professional and friendly, great dining experience 👍👍

A lovely service from phoning for the delivery to the man delivering. The pickle tray and popadoms were very nice but the main course was so bland, no spices just a tasteless gravy. A waste of money, sadly.

Great restaurant, and very authentic. Reasonable prices- paid£25pp for a curry, poppadoms and diet coke. Food was very fresh and fish perfectly cooked with a good portion size. Staff are also very friendly. Would return.

The food was delicious & good portions too.

food arrived cold, every item needed to be warmed up

The delivery driver was friendly. I was abit disappointed that my curry was cold and I had to put it in the microwave to warm it up, however it was nice.

Stunning food, one of the best curries I've ever had.

Fabulous food. Varied menu. Relaxed atmosphere. Owner very attentive making sure everyone is happy. Thanks Zulfi.

Great vibe, fantastic owner and staff. Such a friendly place and the food is brilliant, great choiceand portioe. 2nd time I've been here and it's just as good. Thanks again to you all for a great evening. 🥰

Had heard good things, but was really unimpressed. Service wasn't great and food was really average. I genrally have a good pallet so if you do too.. Avoid.

Such a lovely run restaurant. Me and my two children went for dinner and the food was spectacular. One of the best ive had in a long while and I live in Bradford so I’ve tried a few of the best. Zulfi the owner was so welcoming and accommodating. The staff was polite and sufficient. My 8 year old had a child size curry that was nore than enough and he loved it. I Would 100 % recommend. I will be returning :)

Great food and service as always

We went on Monday 8th January for my birthday. There were just me and my wife in the restaurant. We skipped the popadoms as they were too pricey. I had sheik kebabs for starters which were very dry and crumbly not very nice. Always thought they would be moist. My wife had masala fish and said they were nicer from a Bradford market, so not a very good start. I had a keema bhuna hot which was pretty tasteless and the chappaties were hard dry and just broke up. Better quality from a cheap takeaway. My wife had chicken dopiaza which she said was only satisfactory. With a drink each it came to just over £50 not worth it at all. Back to Acbars from now on.

Onion bhajis were missing from my order but I was charged for them.

Service was excellent and we really enjoyed the food. Would certainly recommend to others.

excellent service and food new favorite 😍

I was invited at deeva for a birthday party, the staff were really nice, warm and welcoming, food had good variety of vegetarian and non veg options, they managed to help the hosts to have a good party for their children, the staff were cordial at reception and also at the buffet , Will go there again with my family only. Their naan were fresh and amazing, starters had amazing tikka or tandoori, I specifically enjoyed their vegetarian dishes, allo palak and mattar paneer

Took a works party to Deeva to ‘keep it local’ and was pleased with the results. Table of 18, so quite chaotic. Food was great. Everyone said so. I enjoyed mine certainly! Only compliant is that we had to wait for our mains quite a while - only an issue because some ordered starters and some didn’t. The place was helpful with the booking process and they did as they said they would - which as booker for a large group is all you really want! Would recommend…

Food here is always good, as is the service. Atmosphere isn't great but I think this is down to my personal preference on decor. An amazing place to go as a larger group/celebration. The owner is a lovely person and the staff are all fantastic.

Brilliant food. Brilliant service Highly recommend

We went for dinner as an all-adult family group - one omnivore, two veggies and two vegans. Everyone was brilliantly catered for. The veggie options are on the main menu, but if you're vegan ask for the separate vegan menu. On the main menu there are starters labelled as vegan, but the mains aren't labelled. The food is superb and the staff are really friendly.

Visited this weekend with my partner. Despite it being very busy, we were seated instantly. I'd definitely recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment! The service was great. Staff were welcoming, we were checked on and asked if we wanted any more drinks. The food was delicious! I'm personally not the biggest fan of Indian cuisine but wow! We loved it! It was cooked to perfection. We really enjoyed it. We will be definitely visiting again.

Quel accueil par le boss et ses salariés !! Grande gentillesse, explications soignées des plats ! Le cabillaud délicieux semblait sortir d'un barbecue en plein mois de Juillet ! Le poulet afghan certes épicé était copieux, le pain nan garlik immense ! Bref, un beau moment culinaire et humain, le patron nous expliquant qu'il s'occupait d'œuvres caritatives, et qu'il en avait été récompensé par Queen Elizabeth ! Mérité ! Merci !

Food is wasn’t of restaurant standards that’s for sure

Shocking food came late came cold rung the manager to complain and was spoke to rude %100 wounldnt reccomend

Sorry, but my takeaway was disappointing, to say the least. On my last visit to eat at the restaurant, I had chicken and spinach, which was served in a sauce, delightful. This was just solid spinach with bits of chicken, no sauce.

The lady on the phone is very slow at taking the orders. She lies by saying food will be with you in 40 minutes.1 and half hour later it turns up. Pretty cold. Food didn’t taste that good either. Wouldn’t be ordering again from you guys. Delivery driver puts the food on to the wet cold floor.. shambles Ls13 order

Great food and delivery as always, thank you! Our favourite to order every week

Regularly get a curry from Deeva and it never disappoints. Great food and friendly staff members!

Dirty restaurant I was sat next to a filthy radiator. Food utter crap, reheated sour rice, a health hazard. Butter chicken seemingly made with a tin of tomato soup. Sullen young woman serving. Honestly it’s awful!

Always the best service, food and experience. I won't go anywhere else and my friend who visits from Scotland insists on a visit to Deeva whenever he is down. #SimplyTheBest

Quality food and service always assured at Deeva even when ordering take away . We had a minor mix up with our order but it was dealt with effectively and the extras we got as a bonus were delicious and much appreciated. We will return soon.

Great experience trying out a new local. Really good choices for Veggies and Vegans alike. Everything is reasonably priced and a warm, cordial atmosphere. Thanks for welcoming us ☺️

Madras curry was made madras strength by adding chopped chilies. Toilets need immediate attention. Gents out of order.

Visited many many times and never had a bad meal. A regular place for us to visit.

Brilliant food as always, everything cooked and presented so well. It’s become our go to place to order from, thank you

Starter was mushy and soggy. Curry pretty good. Nice garlic naan. Expensive 😔

First time we’ve tried this restaurant and it won’t be the last as the food was delicious and the service was prompt.

The food was amazing and the staff were extremely friendly. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Service was shocking not a smile in site limp poppadoms warm beer not warm curry all served by a waitress who had zero charism been going to this restaurant for years by far worse experience yet

Amazing food as always & the delivery man so so lovely as always x

Me dad has been going for curries for 50 years and he said this place is the worst place he's been to. Lackluster curry, sticky radiators and slow service. Would not recommend. That said the people were nice, just slow and bad.

Delicious food served with grace and professionalism by friendly staff. Loved it, and I'm not usually a lover of Indian food.

Having eaten here a few times oner the years, we knew it was nice but this visit saw the great place excel. Lovely staff, the owner is super friendly and helpful. I had the tandoori king prawns to start and my wife had Masala Fish. Mine had 4 huge chargrilled prawns with salad and a small pot of masala sauce. I asked for it to be spicy and they were happy to accommodate. The fish had 2 big pieces of delicious, spiced fish with salad. For mains I had Masala Cod - again asked to be spicy and it was. A huge fish marinated then covered in fried onions snd chillis. Came with pilau rice, salad and a bowl of sauce. Spectacular. She had a gobi alloo curry and we shared a perfectly cooked garlic naan. The whole thing was fantastic. Definitely recommended

Lovely food, great taste, fresh ingredients & well cooked. Would recommend

Great food, would definitely visit again

Possibly the best curry I've ever had 😋

The hosts are incredibly warm and friendly. The food? It’s amazing. Authentic and delicious. Crisp fresh poppadoms and chicken that melts in your mouth. All perfectly cooked and served in the lovely Victorian surroundings of a renovated church. Can’t wait to come again.

Absolutely brilliant customer service from the staff at Deeva brilliant food plus a nice environment and perfect for events I especially love the beautiful food I would definitely go to this restaurant again and recommend it to my friends

I have been to this restaurant twice now with my son and the food is fantastic...the best curry i have eaten...i went last night with my son and his girlfriend ..quality is top 9notch...staff are really professional and good customer service...my son has been a few times now and i know who is fussy about his food...give this place a try you will not be disappointed...prices are reasonable too...all in all no negatives..the owner is very nice and friendly and always checks to see if everything is ok...really lovely that the proprietor takes the time to talk to his customers Dot Pudsey

I actually order for my neighbour who’s not good with tech but he uses the restaurant on many occasions when he’s out with the boys & always says how lovely it is.. his favourite at minute has gone from Afghan curry to jalfressi & now his go to is mixed meat medley for 2… he won’t allow me to order from anywhere else.., i personally would highly recommend DEEVA… you get what you pay for… excellent quality food and service …

Amazing quality and great value for money… beautiful food both In the restaurant (highly recommend) and take away… always 5* food

One of my favourite places to eat in Farsley - always delicious and a relaxed happy atmosphere

Excellent food, friendly staff.

Excellent food, great service, very helpful with our selections.

Went to Deeva for dinner tonight and as usual it was a stunning meal. We fully recommend Deeva as an excellent place to eat.

Cold when come waited long time not going again better it takeaway shop

Had the lamb nihari this evening as it's my favourite dish here. Lovely as usual. Even the slightly fatty bits as it's lamb shank after all. Other half really enjoyed her vegetable biryani. Service top quality as always. Look forward to our next visit.

.firstly having lived in Farsley for many years and dined in Deeva on many occasions I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad meal… however this evening I ordered a lamb nihari and sadly the piece of lamb I was served was all fat and gristle and totally inedible, nobody came to ask how the food was so I ate my chips and the curry sauce, which was fine. When the server came to clear the table I politely explained that the lamb was inedible, but everything else had been lovely and asked her to knock the lamb off the bill. The manager came to the table and totally embarrassed me, implying that I had eaten the meat and basically was just trying it on. I was made to feel incredibly uncomfortable and basically called a liar. He also on several occasion put his hand in me, which I felt was highly inappropriate. Having dined there on many occasions I will never return. So to summarise I would say eat there the food is usually excellent, however don’t ever dare complain , the manager is all sweetness and light until you have the audacity to mention that somethings below standard!!

Great food, would just say, 2 starters, only 1 salad and sauce rather than 1 per starter

I can honestly say this is best curry I have had in a very very long time. There are multiple establishments close by which we have tried. But Deeva by far is the best! Thank you so much! Delicious!

Always nice food friendly staff great atmosphere

Went there as a large group and although we pre-ordered food took over an hour and half to come out. My naan came out ten minutes before my curry which was cold when I got it and some of the group were still being served their food when others had finished eating. So very disappointed. I have had several takeaways from here and its always been great and staff are also friendly. As a takeaway I'd rate this 4 stars and will order again, but as a restaurant only a 2, due to the long wait, the fact we had to go to the bar to get our own drinks and the place lacks ambiance and decour is very dated

zulfi and their team hosted a very large group of us tonight (50+) and the food was so nice! Staff were friendly and organised, was super impressed by the food given the number of people with individual orders. Thank you ❤️

My first visit & my last - nice food but very rude & insulting owner because 3 of our party didn't turn up. Tried to let him know about one of them but they don't answer phone before 5pm. He was moaning as others could have taken the places. My niece was told she couldn't have a drink of tea because they were too busy to make it then 10mins later the owner brought her one. Not a very good 1st impression & I will not recommend this place to anyone I know

Needs décor and furniture updating

Lovely food and Zulfi always goes the extra mile to look after his customers.

The service is always wonderful, the staff are kind and extremely attentive. The food is so amazing and filling 😋 One of my favourite restaurants ever!

Nice veg samosas, curry was tasty but ordered medium think I need hot.

First visit yesterday, Food was lovely my only down side was the staff, The two young ladies really looked like they wanted to be anywhere but there, Don’t think they cracked a single smile and I just felt the customer service could of been 100% better. They just had their heads in their mobile phones all night. Not sure I’d visit again

Lovely food, but did need warming back up.

Refund? Food was an hour late.

Really good food. I had the meat thali and my wife had the vegetable thali, both were excellent and very filling. The staff were very attentive although we were there early and there were only one other couple eating at the time. We will be back and I would definitely recommend to my friends.

Our first time there. What can I say but wonderful. Food was the best Indian we have had. Fresh, flavorsim, (Not dry) and a nice chat with the owner. We will certainly be returning soon with more family members.

Wonderfully friendly, super accommodating even though we turned up on a Saturday night without a booking. Food hot, tasty and service brilliant.

Loved my meal at Deeva. We had such a great dinner and the ambience is really lovely. Great service and friendly staff.
