Nawaz in Leeds

NAWAZ! We fancied an Indian, The one that exceeds, It’s name is Nawaz, At Crossgates in Leeds, You can’t buy a beer, But you can take your own, It’s cheaper that way, So there’s no need to moan, Poppadom for starters, With a selection of dips, All very tasty, So well worth the trip, Then came the main meal, We both had the bhuna, It’s the first time we’d been, I wish we’d came sooner, The staff are all helpful, The service is tops, So if you’re in Leeds, It’s well worth the stop! Alongside the bhuna, We ordered a nan, That filled us both up, We headed home in the van!

Brilliant food accompanied by great service. Found this restaurant by chance; thankfully it satisfied us. If you’re in the area, you won’t go wrong. Highly recommended.

This review is given in lieu of my husband. He always takes food from this restaurant and Praises about their service especially one of their staff names Nasir, who is very responsible, cordial and punctual. He is always conscious about needs and tries to cope up with customer demands. And last week I tried their foods that were also yummy. Specially curries, So this place is highly recommended for takeaways as well as dine in. I hope they keep up their demand more day by day and best wishes keep continuing your best Service 😊.

All of the dishes were so tasty! Lamb really tender, garlic naan to die for, plus willing to adapt dishes and make them hotter on request. Staff were lovely too. Much improved in terms of atmosphere and decor since last year. Every table looked happy and satisfied with their food and experience. We're planning on returning soon!

Nazwaz is a lovely Restaurant the staff are very nice the food is excellent it really is worth going my sister and me go all the time please give it a try

We visited yesterday at dinner for our wedding anniversary. Staff was outstanding, his knowledge on the menu and dishes was second to none. He made sure we took advantage of the dinner 2 or 3 course menu. Advising us to order different dishes and share to maximise our experience and to try as much as possible. The food is delicious, particularly the chicken tikka curry and lamb chops which melted in the mouth. The flavours were exquisite coupled with the aesthetics and ambience made for a very much memorable and enjoyable experience. We have eaten all over the world but this has to be one of the best meals we have had. We will be back. Thank you for taking our experience to another level! Customer service at it’s absolute best.

Mediocre food, place felt a little grubby and the toilets are a disgrace. Much better places in the area, I can't understand why this place is so high in the ratings

In the area this evening on an overnight business trip, so visited to get takeaway. Fast, fresh, and really rally good. Best curry I have had for such a long time. Wished I lived closer... thank you

Amazing food amazing service. A warm welcome from Mr Nawaz the owner. Attentive and friendly but not overbearing. The lamb chops are the greatest chops in the entire world, if I had to eat one food for the rest if my life, it would be the lamb chops. Curry spicy but not overpowering spicy. Chicken is the softest and tenderest chicken ive ever had in a curry. Been coming to this place ever since it opened and i love this little curry house. 10/10.

Enjoyed, Beautiful and tasty as always … .everything fresh and cooked perfectly to our liking …. will be back again …. :)

Booked in for a bussiness party was warmly welcome coming back ever since. Highly recommend. Kindly support the bussiness

Visited this Indian restaurant on Friday 3rd November 2023 with a ladyfriend.We got here early about 7.45pm we sat downstairs it was quiet but upstairs there was a private party on,didn't bother us,but must be a hassle for the staff as food and drinks have to be carried up the stairs. Talking of drinks they only serve soft drinks! Maybe don't have a licence?But then wetherspoons is next door so you get your cheap beers there(as we did). You would think the owners here would install a small food lift? We got asked if we wanted poppadoms and pickle tray,we said yes,just one each,99p each,plus pickle tray at £3.49 bit pricey?a diet coke each was £5.50 total,easy money for them when poured from a bottle! We had a main each £9.95 and £8.95,shared a keema rice at £3.45 and shared a big hanging garlic naan bread at £3.25.Total was £36.57 gave them £40 inc tip.Food is tasty and good quality.Only thing I don't like is cutlery is placed on tables straight onto bare table that's not hygienic,They should bring fresh cutlery to you,or better still bring your own.Would visit again.

Exceptional food, I love mint sauce, ambious is good, clean and tidy, rate is very reasonable. We stay at Travelodge (Stile Hill Way - Colton), Restaurant is just 6 mints away and have been there for almost One Week and visit every day. Staff behaviour is amazing, We are going to London and will definitely miss that stuff and wish to be there again. Thanks to all staff members of Nawaz Restaurant (Keep it up Lads). Javed Awan

This place is really good to coming with both family and friends ... Food was excellent and if you are looking for spicy food then this place is for you guys..

Wow just had my first pizza here fantastic. Staff super friendly. thank-you for the complimentary burger n chips. It was delicious. Will be back.

Fantastic service, super fresh delicious chicken shashlik. Reasonably priced. Location has a great set of people, they are wonderful and always working hard

I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the meal with my wife. Considering the quality, the price is reasonable. Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Highly recommended

Food was absolutely beautiful! Will definitely be telling our friends and family to pay a visit. All freshly made, big size portions and a really great price. Excellent service Thank you

Last Weekend we ordered from Nawaz Takeaway Amazing food delivered . I have never had a bad meal from here. Delivery can take a few minutes longer than time given but this will be due to high demand orders and it is definitely worth it. They also provide extra popadoms and pickle tray too everytime absolutely love it and can’t wait for the next time

Not the usual standard. We have had takeaway from Nawaaz many times, the dishes this evening were disappointing! I was advised on calling that due to a big order there were no onion bahjis - so, I assume that it is why delivery took 1 hr 30 mins., the order did not include the chutney or mushroom bahgi and everything else was far from the usual standard and the veggie dish was tasteless! Definitely not worth £30!

Had a lovely meal with my friend. The food was excellent and Nawaz the owner who served us was friendly and very accommodating. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic food and great service, lovely place to eat and enjoy good atmosphere. I had a Special Fish Masala with bed of Salad and it was mouth watering

Ordered a take away, king prawn kadhai and chicken karahi. Both dishes were bright red in colour, we couldn't taste any spices, in fact they were so flavourless we had to keep adding salt. I have never had to season a curry! Very disappointed and won't be ordering again.

I live in the area and decided to try this with some friends based upon the reviews on here. Quite how it gets so many 4 and 5 star reviews is a bit baffling. The food was very nice and very tasty. The service was pretty reasonable. However, upon entering I was somewhat underwhelmed by the interior of this place. It had more the feel of a cafe, serving Indian meals rather than being an Indian restaurant. Having the takeaway customers walking in between diners to collect their orders was quite distracting and detracts from the feeling of being out for a meal in a restaurant. Nice food. Poor ambience.

Incredible and flavoursome food! I had the mixed kebab for starter, which was tremendous and my partner had the paneer pakora The portions were very generous and the food was delicious! For mains, I had the chicken masala and my partner had the mushroom paneer balti. We shared a peshawari naan bread and rice- it was awesome although sadly we could not finish every bite. The customer service was 5 star and I cannot recommend this eatery highly enough.

This is one of best Indian restaurant in Leeds.we ordered 4 different types of dishes and all of them were delicious and tasty.Highly recommended and hopefully will visit soon.

It can’t be scaled because if it was it would have broken it the staff were very kind and the food was a living hevan it was so good

This is my absolute favorite restaurant. The food is always fantastic no matter what i order i am always delighted with my meal. Servers are great and always polite. Do visit

Great little local restaurant which serves delicious Indian Food. Really enjoy coming here as choice of menu is fantastic. service is efficient and friendly, great place to try mid weed or on a weekend.

Enjoyed our time there. Staff are pleasant and accommodating, food is well cooked and the place is comfortable.

Came with a group of friends. The service and the food was on point. Butter chicken was 💯. Coming back this weekend again.

Came last night staff was brilliant, service was on spot and food was one of the best Asian food i have ever had.

What can I say other than the food is fantastic and the service is amazing! You should definitely try it for yourself.

Quality food experience at a quality establishment. Could not have asked for more on a Friday night at Xmas. Delicious food with excellent service. Thank you Saj and team. Richard & Reka

Food was amazing as always. They go above and beyond to make the food to your preference. Staff are always warm and welcoming.

I’m not sure what’s happened to this place but is definitely gone down hill!!! The toilets absolutely stink! like someone’s died up there and been there for months! My partner refused to pay for our curries because they was just like bowls of soup! Disappointing...

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Leeds. The food is always fantastic and Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in

Had a great meal at Nawaz, Saj made us feel welcome and was very friendly. Lovely naan and the mixed fish starter

As usual, hot wonderful, full of flavour and reasonably priced. You can bring your own alcohol too so an added bonus for an affordable meal out. Staff very welcoming and the butter chicken is to die for.

Excellent and reasonably priced food, with an extensive menu, never been disappointed. Our favourite place, we eat there regularly, quick service and always lovely food. All staff are very friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much.

Really friendly place! Staff are lovely and very accommodating for nut allergy sufferers. I think they only have almonds in the kitchen. Both visited and ordered takeaway and never been disappointed. Delicious good every time.

We were a party of 9 and the restaurant was busy. The Service was quick and friendly. The food was very generous and tasty. This is worthy of a visit as you will not be disappointed.

We visited Nawaz last night for the first time in a while. It was good to see that the food and service were as good as ever. Really enjoyable meal, good value, friendly service.

Food was great as always but the waiter was so intrusive and needy. Kept saying to me "you don't look pleased to see me ". Well I wasn't. Was trying to have a relaxed meal with friends and he kept interrupting telling us about his...

Been coming to Nawaz for years and can highly recommend. It’s always been brilliant but seems to have got better and better. The food is beautiful and the staff are lovely. Already planning our next visit! 😊

Have been coming to Nawaz since it opened, and I can only say its got better and better over time, food is amazing and always fresh. My favourite curry house in Leeds. Service is quick, food is amazing and the staff are friendly and welcoming...

Brilliant meal at Nawaz, with great customer service. Saj (the manager) was so helpful and friendly such a great guy.. The food was perfect as always and they even offered to make a number of dishes alot more mild for my taste.. The naan breads...

Visited today. Food was excellent as usual and staff as friendly as always. All dishes are spot on, starters and mains Take your own beer Would recommend

Came in with family. Extremely welcoming especially with my baby boy who loved his indian. Food was unreal we can’t wait to be back.

We are regulars at Nawaz, and can honestly say it's great food and great service every time we go. Saj always remembers specific things we like for our order and is very personable, as are Sakib and his brother, and the whole team who work...

Recommend the garlic naan. Thalis are great if you can’t decide what to have. Service and staff good and welcoming real local feel. Bring your own alcohol. Drinks ( off license) just over the road if you need to buy.

Excellent food and great service. First time here and would definitely return again. We didn't know they are not licenced but will remember our own beer next time!!

Had a great meal at Nawaz’s. Saj was very friendly and recommend us some great dishes. Will definitely be returning.

Brilliant meal at Nawaz, with great customer service. Saj (the manager) was extremely friendly and helpful, he couldn't do enough for us The food was very good, the naan was a particular highlight. Will definitely be back in the future.

Great deal on a Sunday and the best curry local to Crossgates. Service is also really good and the manager Saj is friendly.

Popped in last minute for food and chose the chicken tikka which was delicious and a generous portion

Popped for a last minute meal out with a friend. Took a while to choose what to order due to a interesting and varied selection of dishes. The food arrived promptly and was delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back. 5 stars!

Food was lovely service was good lovey people went above and beyond for us had a great evening and will be definitely returning

Great visit to Nawaz on a Monday evening. Super friendly and tentative team, we were well looked after. Delicious food and nice atmosphere.

Once a gain our party decided that we would take advantage of the 50% off Wednesday/ Sunday offer. We decided to check that the offer was back on as it was taken down for the Christmas period. Haviong checked on Tuesday 11th January and the restuarant confirming the offer wa sstarting again on Wednesday 12th January. We booked a table for six for Wednesday 19th January. On choosing our meals we were informed a fe wminutes later that the offer wa snot on this month as the manager was on holiday and had withdrawn the offer. The poster in the window was taken down. Whilst not haapy about this we stayed for the meal which once again was enjoyable.

Food was delicious and Saj who served us made the evening all the more enjoyable. Will definitely be returning :)

Came here last night with my family. All off the food is 10/10. Served very hot and fresh. Would definitely recommend.

The food was amazing and the service was good too.. brilliant prices will defo be going again.. would recommend it to family

Regular customer(jalfrezi is excellent, my curry of choice here for years). Tried the recent addition to the menu, Butter chicken on the last 3 occasions and this is now my favourite dish. Same quality in the restaurant or takeaway. Fella loves the Nawas balti seafood. Excellent food and the staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble. Zaqib and the team always make time for you no matter how busy they are. 10/10!

Christmas eve meal fantastic 😋 👌 food cooked spot on .Staff great can't do enough for you 👌 love to come 2/3 times per month. Have a super Xmas and New year nawaz

This is the 2nd time our order was wrong. The first time (a few weeks ago) I ordered 3 chapatti’s with our meal but only 1 came! Tonight I ordered chips with our food but they didn’t come with our order. I paid online both times but Nawaz will never get my custom again. Such simple mistakes that can and willLose customers!

Had a group booking for a birthday meal and was not disappointed. Food great as usual and good value.

Although the food is nice the service at Nawaz is aweful. On multiple on occasions when we have eaten there the service has been slow. Whilst tonight we were charged for food we didn't order but which was served because of waiter error. Despite rectifying the bill eventually, the waiter made a point of telling us the manager had made him take it from his pay. We won't be going back again soon. A shame as the food is very good.

Food was nice but the service was poor due to the care and attention the waiter made to what we actually ordered. This was only noticed when we were given the bill and there was duplications of our order. Two occasions we ordered tap water and were brought bottles of water. There was a big confusion over the size of the naan bread. We asked the size and were told standard size naan. I even made a comment saying how some restaurants sell family size etc ‘no ours are standard size’ said the waiter. However we were given 3 family size naans which obviously reflected in the bill. The way the order was taken was very random. Half way through ordering food the waiter jumped to what another member of our party wanted when I hadn’t finished ordering for the four of us. Things got a little bit awkward. Like I said food was nice though. When given the bill we noticed how wrong it was. When explained to the waiter he said what was on the bill was what was served. We said that might be the case but we didn’t order it. After 20 or so seconds of an uncomfortable atmosphere he said he would take it off the bill. He disappeared, then came back after 1 minute to explain he has taken it off the bill but the deduction will come out of his wage via his managers instructions. Not something you really want to here as a customer. Wasn’t really impressed by the whole experience. This poor experience could have been avoided if the waiter had read back the entire order. We won’t be returning.

I would of give a 0 if possible. Actually shocked at this restaurant, the food was absolutely disgusting, we got a sizzling starter and the plate was soaked in water, the onions were raw. The meat was soggy Asif it wasn’t fully cooked.…the main we ordered was the worst curry I’ve ever had, it was lumpy sauce and so bland I ordered a garlic chilli chicken balti which was meant to be hot and tasted more like a korma (pretty sure they give us the wrong curry), but the worst thing about it their was bits of pink raw chicken in (picture shown below) I asked the waiter to have a look who was so rude about it and said it is defiantly chicken and just walked away, this made us feel so uncomfortable, we was put off by the food so left the whole curry and. we just asked for the bill, paid the full price and left.I will never come back to this restaurant and I will be telling people not to visit either.The only positive I can say is the girl on the reception, she was very attentive and took all our order details etc but for al the other staff, veryyyy rude and lack of customer service. I will be sticking with my regular Indian ‘JINNAHS’ in future.

We dcided we would sample 50% of main meal and were greeted with an excellant atmosphere, we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was to much for the staff. The staff were very helpful in explaining how tehy prepare some of their dishes.. The service was excellant and the food arrived in next to no time, Teh food itself was well cooked and arrived piping hot.

Another amazing meal, can’t fault the food here always amazing. The service was great as always. Would recommend this place to anyone and everyone

Have been twice now, both times booking the upstairs room for a surprisingly good price. Food is of a high standard, and each meal was spot on to say they were cooked for 20+ people at the same time. The staff were incredible, kind, bubbly, overall great people. Finally, the experience itself is rare, not many other restaurants offer that kind of intimacy and closeness to the friends and family you are eating with. Fantastic place, would highly recommend, especially for a birthday or something of the like. Even just the average restaurant experience is highly enjoyable here, definitely give it a go

Went yesterday evening with hubby, brother in law and girlfriend and had a great meal with fantastic customer service. Saj was particularly attentive and welcoming

This was our first visit here and we both really enjoyed the food. Saj the waiter was really attentive and made sure our visit was a good one. All the food was hot and very tasty and the menu was very varied. The staff were all polite without being too much. We will definitely go back!

Today we visited Nawaz again, we last visited in the last lockdown when the restaurants first opened and had a loverly meal, throughout lockdown we continued to order takeaways from them and the food continued to be great. Visited tonight where we were greeted by Saj who was loverly and friendly throughout making sure everything was OK and we were happy. Brilliant service and brilliant food, we look forward to our next visit.

Had tea here it was lovely, the food is great. The staff are very friendly especially Saj. Will be going back very soon. Give it a go,L it's good value for money.

Absolutely fab... great selection of food and drinks. Staff very helpful... nothing too much trouble!!! Thanks to Saj who was very attentive and helpful... cant wait to come back next week !!!

We use to come here for curries regularly and was really looking forward to a decent local meal after not being able to eat out because of the lockdowns. Really dissatisfied with the service and cleanliness tonight. We had poppadoms that came on a dirty dish which had dried sauce all on the bottom which wasn’t from us, extremely unhygienic especially in the current climate. The waitress was more interested in speaking to other staff rather than serving people. We would of usually left a tip however didn’t think it was worthy, after waiting around 10 minutes for the money to be taken, and staff walking past our table numerous times we had to ask for the money to be taken and change given. Such a shame.

Pleasant service. Shan Jaan lamb and Balti seafood were delicious and tender. The food was excellent value. Never disappointed and will keep returning.

we usually get take out as we are a large family with young children but on occasions we eat in and honestly they cant do enough.The food is amazing and any left they always box up for us to take home.very friendly staff and always looked after.Not even phased by the mess from the children.would highly reccomend
