Kashmir Restaurant in Bradford

One of the greatest restaurants I've eaten in the UK.

We always come here when we're in Bradford. Great food and great service. The staff are lovely.

Had a beautiful keema rogan josh tonight and some onion bhajis although te bahjis were a little overdone, the waiter RajKumar was very professional and polite. All in all a good night.

Love this place. Been going for over 30 years and it never fails to hit the mark. The staff are super nice and the service is on point.

Food was ok, but mine was so hot I struggled to eat it. My brother's was like a soup, which I was so disappointed with, very strange. They place itself is very drab and not very nice, they need to spend money on doing the place up. How can u expect people to dine there looking and feeling like that! We only went because we couldn't get in the international, which was so busy. Overall not great and unsurprisingly won't be going again!

I would give it 0 stars if I could, safely one of the worst Indian meals I’ve ever had. Food was bland, watery and tasteless and don’t get me started on the garlic naan. Staff were friendly enough but I wouldn’t bother.

Curry amazing! Been going 40 years

One of Bradfords top curry houses excelent food and plenty of it 7th October 2024 Today, I came into this great Bradford Curry house and had an onion baji starter and a chicken Rogan josh, this curry house is a well run place with great staff and great tasty plentiful food portions at good value

This is the best curry house in Bradford ,fantastic food ,good portions and very quick service . Always a friendly smile and welcome

Absolutely gorgeous chicken rogan josh today wow amazing

Have been coming here for the last 40 years - initially as a university student but in recent years, as a regular trip for a few days to have a couple of meals at the Kashmir. Food is always good and reasonably priced. Will be back next year !!!!

Been going for year’s and never been disappointed always recommend to people who are hungry for a good meal

Poor service, waited over an hour for two curries. Hoping they'd be worth the wait but very bland no flavour. Disappointing.

Over an hour wait for two curry’s. 6 tables in the restaurant. Absolutely ridiculous. Chicken tikka starter was crap as well. Dry and tasteless. What the hell happened to this place?

The guys running this place and attitude. Ordered from their web menu arrived and the cost was 40% higher, When I questioned the menu price I was told it was out off date just like the decor of this shabby place.

Went there yesterday afternoon and the food was absolutely beautiful. One of the best curry's I've had just as good as Akbars but not as expensive. The young girl who was the waiter was so nice a friendly. Anyone who visiting Bradford and wanting some eat some nice food then this is the place. Will definitely going again

So my first time in kashmiri.Very dissapointed as soon as i sat down, the seats were dirty and smeared with crumbs.Already a dissapointing start but hoped for nice food.Dont get me wrong the salad and sauce was spot on with flavour but the food was atrocious.No flavour and no salt.The fish pakora were served cold and the chips were undercooked.The only thing that satisfied me was the drink to be honest thats how shocked i was with the place.I hope you guys reflect from this review and please respect others enough to show some care

I can't really judge the atmosphere because I've only ever eaten here early on in the day but my word the curry at kashmir is my favourite to date. I get chana masala with pilau rice it comes with chapati and they always serve a little side salad with a nice spicy yoghurt sauce. It's absolutely outstanding and I highly recommend

A typical curry house near Bradford centre, not a lot of parking near by but the food is certainly worth trying.

We hadn't been for a few years due to moving out of Yorkshire, but had fond memories of the tasty curries and basic 1950s decor. If you're looking for posh Asian cuisine, with white linen tablecloths, glittering glassware and magical fountains, you won't find it at The Kashmir. You will, however, find great value, honest food and friendly, attentive service. The waiter/owner was an absolute delight, and we hope to be back soon.

Great value curry and taste. Shame only cash only.

This is one of the best Pakistani restaurants I’ve ever visited, with incredibly cheap prices and generous portions. Their Naan bread is special, and every dish I tried was delicious. I’ll definitely return to Bradford just to eat here again and recommend it to my friends. The restaurant itself is a bit old and outdated, but it has a large dining area.

I used to come here in the 80s. They’ve moved upstairs since then but apart from that, nothing has changed. The food is THE best in Bradford, simple, delicious and at a very reasonable price. There’s many varieties of Keema and I had the Madras. It’s hot but not too hot. All dishes come with one poppadom, a side salad, yogurt, three chapati and a carafe of water. No starters or anything complicated like that. It’s just traditional yummy Pakistani food. Don’t expect ‘good’ service, it’s not that kind of place. They are polite, they just don’t smile or make conversation. I come here for the food, not the service and I find it reassuringly refreshing. When you arrive, just go and sit at a table. Within a second you’ll be handed a menu, another second later you’ll be brought your side, yogurt, poppadom and water. Once you’ve ordered your food, it will arrive about a minute later! Enjoy!

Just read other reviews and felt compelled to correct and post. Went mid week, great service with friendly attentive staff . Food was fantastic , best curry I've had in years. Don't belive all the posts, best try yourself. take your own alcohol makes it great value. Capt Neil Medley Isle of Man

Second best curry in Bradford. A bit closer to town than the best curry in Bradford, so definitely worth considering.

Good Indian food at very cheap prices. Cannot comment on service as it was empty when we went. Free popadoms as well!

I hate leaving bad reviews, but unfortunately, this is a must. I'm going to focus on the food. We had 2 minced madras and two chicken curry dishes. The chicken was terrible and had either grisal of bones in. The mince tasted quite nice to be totally honest. However, The following morning, 3 / 4 of us was sick and felt unwell. Maybe it was just a bad batch of food we had but will not be visiting again. * only takes cash *

This is a total rip off. This place should not be open. It is embarrassing food which is cold and the chapatis cold and wet. This place is expensive and totally poor quality. The service is cheap and the place is not a nice place the toilets stank. The.place was dirty and stank also. We was fooled via the history of this place but if you know anything about curry then you won't like this. This is the worse sit down place in bradford totally disgusting and a rip off. We dont mind paying for foods but this was a rip off and totally disgusting. Cold and wet sundries. They are disgusting and the food wasn't fit for a dog. Your a fool if you step foot in this place. Never again I should of just thrown 20 quid down the street. Totally disgusting experience. Totally foul tasting food. Old food. This place should not be open as rhey not fit . Filth.

Absolutely disgusting food. Took my family there and one of us threw up when we got home. No wonder they're so cheap. Food is terrible and service is even more horrendous. Served tap water and even that was warm. Definitely don't recommend anyone to go here. Will not be visiting again!!

Worst experience ever . Dont go on this place . Yesterday me and my friends was too hungry at night . We order 2 plates of chicken . And it was tasteless and giving very bad smell . 2 of my friends start vomiting after they eat .

Bad experience never came back again.

2 Stars I've been to The Kashmir Restaurant many times. The selection of food is good, but the service is consistently poor. My last visit was so bad and rude that I couldn't even enjoy my meal. Known as either the oldest curry house in Bradford or one of the oldest, with such a high reputation, I expected more. Most days, a good amount of the menu is unavailable, and I've had to return many plates for various taste or freshness reasons. This place might be worth a try for its history or nostalgia for those who grew up with it. However, the food, service, and overall decoration don't compare to similarly priced, more modern, and much better service restaurants you'll find in Bradford, a city known for its excellent restaurants and curries.

The oldest curry house in Bradford, situated right in the old good, old, but pretty solid heart of town. Spot with loyal customers coming back over 20 years. ..... Just that means a lot.

Simple but nutritious food served quickly with a spoon in utilitarian surroundings. Beware mild curry is not!

Absolutely filthy toilets, disinterested and indifferent staff, food mediocre, cash only (and we all know why), plastic basket that the chapatis came in was dirty and hadn’t been washed in years. Avoid, there are MUCH better places nearby.

Called in without booking, was very quiet & was given a large table, no ambiance at all, TV on & the staff were scruffy. They don’t sell alcoholic drinks or take cards I’m not against cash but we should have been informed before we ordered! Luckily we had enough cash between us. We were given sticky menus with a large selection of meat & vegetarian dishes. The food was served on tatty chipped plates with no garnish, looked like it had been thrown on. The onion bhajis were good but that’s were it ended, the worst curry sauce I have ever had, thin greasy & watery, we didn’t eat it, chips were awful too, the rest of the food was mediocre, they had no mango chutney which is unbelievable for an Indian restaurant! Only positive is the prices, very cheap but you get what you pay for, would not go back here, worst Indian restaurant I have ever been to!

The service was almost non existent. The place is not clean. The food was ok, if rather bland.

Try this place old school restaurant

Worst curry i have ever eaten my children took me for father's day the food was tasteless the decor was scruffy and there was bits on the underneath of the water jug this spoilt my fathers day get a grip you used to be the best in bradford but now your the worst thank you for spoiling my day as we all left our food

Have eaten here for many years and the food is consistently good and full of flavour. While we try others we always end up coming back here. The restaurant and particularly the toilets really need updating, ideally in time for the City of Culture next year.

Bland, flavourless, not what it used to be, service none exisitentlce, rude and arrogant, complained after ordering a tasteless chicken vindaloo, laughed at me and spoke in another language. Again card machines never working, 3 years on trot now, cash only, hope HMRC audit them

Food is excellent and great value. Byob.

Decent food and good value for money but the atmosphere was not great as the tables were dirty, even though the place was empty when we arrived and the lights were not turned on. Service could be better and some of the menu items were not available. Also waiter wanted us to pay cash when we were told they accepted card. There was also no music and the waiter could be more attentive.

Always excellent! I've dined here many many times over the past 50 years. The food is always absolutely delicious. I LOVE their dhal.

Characteristic, proper curry really well made. Recommend it.

Traditional, value for money. No frills just good food.

Good food ,relaxed and authentic

This place had really gone down hill. Food was poor, service they couldn't be arsed. Will not be going back any time soon.

Poor service staff don’t seem to care when told the food smelt off. Looks like the place hasn’t been updated since the 90s

Went here with Hubby we both ordered mixed grill starters and they arrived super quick as they had been deep fried - I was disappointed as there not supposed to be cooked that way and they were dried out and too crispy. Hubby ordered chicken jalfrazi with chapatis and I ordered chicken dopiaza with a garlic naan bread. Hubby disappointed with his curry, too mild more like a stew he said, but I liked mine so we mixed them together and shared them. We also ordered a jug of mango lassi which we shared and that was delicious. All in all, I have had a lot better food than here so won't be returning anytime soon. The bill was just over £40.

Really good low cost food, though service was.good not amazing

I’ve had many great curries in Bradford and this in my humble opinion is the best curry in Bradford near me. I pride myself on being able to cook a homemade onion bhaji and an authentic lamb madras or chicken tikka massala. This place opened my mind to how curry should be cooked. Literally. Oh my god it truly is the best curry in Bradford. Next time I’m in town (probably next month) I’ll come here not only for the amazing mixed grill, the meat masala or the keema Rojan Josh. Thank you kasmiri! Ps this is genuine. No fake review. Check out my profile. I love curry. This is fantastic Matt

The Kashmir looks run down from the outside and the decor inside looks like it's from the 1960's BUT the food is amazing, couldn't fault the food at all. Came quick and was hot and tasted fresh, the only thing that let this place down was that we never got one item that we ordered. Even though I asked for it twice and the server should he would get us it. Other than that they are very friendly and make you feel welcome.

Food was decent tasty quite good. But the decor and the service really let this place down. They need to come into modern times.

Went for 1st time the place was whole place was filthy.. it didn't have any smell of freshly cooked food and I heard a microwave being used . Food was very bland definitely won't be returning

Very authentic food served in one of Bradford's oldest restaurants. Recently refurbished, making it a bit smarter but the prices are still reasonable. Worth a visit!

The best restaurant on earth 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Love this place I have withdrawals when I've not been a least once a month. Believe me I'd eat there everyday .food not changed in 50 years

Been visiting the curry house for well over 30 years and the food is amazing and the prices are ridiculously cheap.

A hidden gem, highly recommend the fish karahi (desi style 🔥) Look forward to coming back again 😋

Atmosphere wasn't that good on this occasion, normally very good. Food is good as usual. Been visiting for many many years.

Great little restaurant. Food and service, for me was really excellent. Will be back

Where can I start, chapattis were that thin I could see through them, that's why they went cold quickly, they passed my chicken bhuna off with lots of meat from the chickens legs, they must have thought a women wouldn't notice, WRONG, I disected it thoroughly & none of us will go back, KIRACHI DID THE SAME, they smother it in sauce hoping it wouldn't bee noticed, how wrong they were, NEVER EAT @ EITHER

Good old school curry shop. No frills

Amazing place the food is unreal

Wish we had a place like this in Wakefield...Fantastic food at great prices...poppadoms pickle tray...2 starters....2 mains + chapatis...£22....Happy days...Great service too!!!!!

Very reasonable prices, decent food.

the place has been well-known for a long time. the food is decent in quality and taste. but the quantity is too little to be fulfilling. its best for regulars who already know they like it. it's not for people who want to try something special in Bradford.

They have the rudest most racist staff ever. The food is a rip off just so so definitely not authentic. Never going back.

Service was extremely poor. Staff couldn't be bothered with us. Only two other people in the restaurant. Tried to order rice with the curries but just said chapattis come with curry. Men's toilets were disgustingly filthy. Ordered a pickle tray but just brought raw onions and raita. Ended up walking out and they couldn't care less. Really gone downhill. Staff just don't seem to bothered for business. We found another local restaurant who were happy to serve us so they got our custom. Extremely disappointed. It was recommended by a Bradford born person and they were very embarrassed by how the staff treated us ...

We are here today , as good as ever , outstanding food , friendly quick service and great value for money

Wanted cash but did not say up front.

Been going there for over 30 years. Now under new management it has dropped in quality. The food was tasteless & the cutlery, glasses & jug were dirty.

Food was appalling I had the chicken rogan josh and the chicken was the worse quality chicken it was inedible, the chicken tikka was swimming in oil. I couldn't knock the service as it was quick but thar says it all. The place is filthy and very dated. Filthy glasses and tables. Definitely won't be returning!

Great food lovely service from the staff and great service

Having been coming here a few years now I have to say the food is consistently good and the prices are still reasonable. They've gone up over the years but not by much and you really do get quality for what you pay. They are very flexible when I ask for something a bit different and it's never any more than a similar dish on the menu. The place could do with a bit of modernising but it is what it is, one of the oldest curry houses in Bradford.

Great old fashioned curry house. We are losing these places, the original types, to be replaced by posher types. To me, curries will always be better from an original/old fashioned curry house. Well worth a visit. Great service and old school curries. Keep it up peeps!

Ordered meat Dhal was lovely and spicy

Back st dirty cafe style food just about eatable. They have upstairs which was newly painted but opens after 5. Curry was black dont know why bcz it didn't taste burnt .kebab looked like ??? Very small and the samosa had seen better dayyyyss. Proper 1970s

Decent quality curry. Very good price.

Very dated inside. Honestly I've had better microwave curry's. Would not recommend

Hands down the best curry I have had in Bradford. We keep coming back despite not living 30mins away. The interior and surroundings may candidly put some people off but it is well worth looking past this for a fantastic curry

Food is over priced almost double to what it was before £11:75 for a curry here while most others charge between £6 to £8 on average this restaurant is not what it used to be the chefs have changed so not the same unfortunately

Lovely food, no frills but very tasty and fresh.

Great place. Whenever I visit Bradford to see family this is where I always go to eat.

Really awful. Everywhere looks really grubby, the toilet was dirty and had no toilet paper. The poppadoms are served without any chutney, they had run out of lassi, the food was tasteless and looked unappetising. Really horrible experience, will not go there again.

Driven from York for over 20 years to this place, recommending it always. Unfortunately after today we’ll never be going back. Gutted it’s absolutely gone downhill - new owners??

Chicken Bhuna, full of meat & absolutely delicious! 3 chapattis free of charge with any main meal, what’s not to like about this historic restaurant.

Nice food, attentive service. N.b. byo and cash only

Good food and great value. Staff rather curt but efficient on the night we went. Cash only so be prepared. No alcohol. The restaurant is situated on two floors, ground and basement.

This place is a gem and the food is sooooo underrated. Honestly, once one gets past the basic ambience of the place, the tasty food can truly be appreciated. Dont let the basicness deter you ! Service is good. Food is amazing. What is there not to like ?

We visited the Kashmir on Saturday and found the food to be excellent and consistent with meals we’ve had there in years gone by, service was prompt, yes it’s more expensive than it used to be but isn’t everything but it still represents good value.

Absolutely dodgy . Gave them two twenty pound notes he shoved them in the till and swore I'd given him 30 luckily consecutive serial numbers proved me right

Food was awful. Been going there 40 years plus and , apart from onion bhaji, my vegetarian meal was inedible. Place was virtually empty of customers. What a shame.

Two visits to the Kashmir Restaurant during the week. One on Monday with a couple of friends, celebrating a birthday, and the second on Wednesday with a different friend. Not sure what is going on with the 'Kash'; think it probably has new management these days. Very quiet with only a pair of other couples present. Menus and poppadoms brought speedily, as always and orders quickly taken. We were always keen on Onion Bhajis so ordered some and some Vegetable Pakoras. Three very generous helpings were brought and eaten but , given that we were to eat main courses, there was too much food and the Bhajis were overcooked. The raita that we had tasted quite spicy compared to previous visits. On to the main courses, two Keema and a Vegetable curries were ordered and my companions did not like their curries and could not finish their meals. My vegetable curry was different in that I was able to eat most but the portions were certainly larger than normal. Maybe a result of having so few customers. We were disappointed as we used the Kashmir regularly in the past and always call in with friends whenever we are in Bradford. Onto the second visit. There were just two of us on this occasion and we were the only customers until a group of four people came as we were nearly ready to go. Again, menus were quickly brought and orders taken but no poppadoms were brought, though the raita had been It was even spicier than on the Monday visit. We stuck to Vegetable curries and they were an improvement on Monday's meal. We ordered Pilau rice and chapattis but the rice was not the usual Pilau and, again, there was an overgenerous number of chapattis which did not all get eaten. There was disappointment on both visits but we shall return at some point in the future to see if it was 'teething problems ' with a new team settling in. Hopefully, there will be a difference when we next visit.

The food is spot on with a great variety of dishes.. you got to taste it to rate it.. I strongly recommend you try it..

Order dal/palak and veg mixed. Both are very bland no flavor no spices and services. Like we ware there to have free food. Sorry but 2star is very good from my prospective.

Not very clean, wasn't happy about paying by card

First visit don’t let the decor deceive you as long as food is perfect and this one of those hidden gem half the bill cost than these fancy décor restaurants out they plus the chappattis come with each curry at no extra charge bill came to £35 for 4 starters 2 mains and 2 fizzy drinks and no extra charge for water now that’s a bargain.

Can't go wrong for a curry in Bradford. The BEST 👌
