Purple Garlic in Bradford

Good selection from the menu, you can have your own mix. My selection was nicely prepared and presented and reasonably priced.

There was excellent hospitality and food was excellent

Loads of lovely food. Starter for 2 is great value.

Fantastic curry highly recommend

The food is just first class! I’ve only had takeout s as i live nearby. But Ali and everyone in there makes you feel so welcome. I would recommend going here to anyone honestly the best place I’ve ever been!!!

Absolutely fantastic food again. Purple Garlic never fails us. We were a party of 9 and food was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble and atmosphere relaxed. Thankyou again to all staff that looked after us.

Didn't serve me tap water, food was ok though

Well the food here was good . Starters took an age to arrive but when they did arrive were very tasty . Same for the mains . Be careful when buying water , we asked for 3 £7:50 , really ! The service was very poor and unwelcoming . The tables were sticky to touch and when we asked for one to be cleaned because it was ground in grease etc they took offence . Will not be returning

Sunday Non of the mixed kebab was fresh. The butter chicken was tikka in korma sauce. I’m not sure how they think this would not be noticed! Everything else was pretty good to be fair. The Tarka dhal was very good.

Always been a decent curry here. Last night ordered for my partners birthday - asked for chicken tikka, drove from Bingley and back only to see they'd given her lamb tikka (which she doesn't eat). Too far to make the round trip again. Also we ordered two different curries but they tasted identical like they'd just made a double portion of the same thing. Quite bland. Always had a good experience eating in but last night was just really poor.

We did an impromptu eat inasmuch opposed to take away from purple Garlic. It was welcoming, and food was outstanding.

Weekday was quiet but the food was absolutely awesome. Been a few times and never been disappointed.

Best food i’ve had in the whole of Keighley the food was on point. The service was excellent, the waiters are polite and make the experience feel surreal. The restaurant overall was clean and well presented.

Had a take away a few times and Always loved the food. First time sitting in and was not dissapointed. The food was superb 👌 fresh poppadoms, beautifully spiced curry, great prices. The fact you could bring your own drinks was a massive bonus. Cant wait to return.

The food here was great, but you have to be careful to order rice separately with the dishes, as it is not included. You will also have to bring your own alcohol if you want to drink it, because they do not pay for it here. You do not have to pay corkage on this.

My favourite curry in Silsden. Hands down.

Enjoyable local curry house, good value too

Food is wonderful. Remember to bring your own alcohol if you want that kind of drink

Amazing food. Best curry I’ve ever had. I stayed in the area last year on holiday and got a take away and was amazing so staying in the same place I had to have another one and it was just as good. Really tasty and just hot enough and lamb so was tender. Honestly can’t fault it at all.

We dined at Purple Garlic as my partner has worked in Silsden for over a year and it was recommended to us by a colleague. It was quiet when we arrived but it was early so we chose a nice table in the window. We shared the fish and chicken pakoras to start. Both were really nice. For main I had the chicken garlic chilli chicken and my partner some ridiculously hot thing 🥵😂 both mains were really delicious and I must say really plentiful portions. In hindsight we could have shared a starter and we certainly didn’t need two portions of rice or the chapatis. The bill with poppadoms and a pickle tray came to £48. It’s not the cheapest as that doesn’t include any drinks as it’s not licensed so you take your own. The service was ok and the atmosphere was nice as more people arrived. We’d definitely go again.

This was an extremely poor dining experience. The onion bharji was dry and crunchy and seemed like it had been made for a while. The lamb in the Royal Mixed kebab was so stringy it could have doubled up as shoe laces. The main courses for both of us was not over hot, mediocre in flavor and disappointing. The fact we were charged £2.50 for a bottle of water was outrageous. Needless to say I won’t be returning.

Exceptional food and service. Starters were with us just as we were finishing our pickle tray. But we did have a rather long wait until the main. I don't think this is a bad thing as at least u don't feel rushed into leaving early. Alcohol free drinks are available but u can take your own lager/wine if u like. All in all wonderful experience. Highly recommended

Lovely curry and shared starter. Food was not greasy, very tasty and as described on menu. The best curry in Silsden.

We booked at 7pm - party of 10. Took us 2 and a half hours to get our main course as it seems takeaways have priority.

The best curry with the best service. We are regulars here at Purple Garlic and we've never had a bad meal. Great food and highly recommend!

Called to eat in, no tables available but restaurant was half empty so ordered take away. Was told 30 mins waiting, when called back had to wait a further 15 mins. 2 minute walk home, salad was the warmest thing on the starter. Korma sauce was watery, I’ve seen thicker milk and Jaipuri chicken tikka was so oily I’ve used the sauce to service my car with.

Went with two friends for an evening meal. We were greeted warmly and sat quickly - we had pre-booked and our table was ready. There is a good range on the menu with some chef’s home made specials. I had Fish Pakora to start which was OK, and the Chicken Karahi for main course. This was lovely, beautifully spiced without fierce heat, big chunks of well cooked chicken, all combined with shared rice, nan and chapati. The others were equally complimentary about their choices. The service throughout our meal was excellent. Well worth a visit if you’re in th area.

Great food at a decent price 👌 but no alcohol licence. You can bring your own.

Hadn't been for a few years. Food was good ,also good service. Would go again. Prices were value for money

Once again had a really fantastic family meal and experience at purple garlic on Christmas day 2022 Great food and best value 👌

Ordered 2 starters and 2 mains for delivery. Ordered at 5pm just after they opened and after 2 phone calls the food eventually arrived at 7pm !! We live 2.2 miles from the restaurant. The starters of fish pakora was soggy and inedible. The main king prawn dish was way over cooked and rubbery the other main dish was average. All for the cost of £40 !!! Maybe it was a one off bad day but they should have told us we would have to wait instead of providing such bad service. We certainly won’t use them again and we will let everyone we know what we experienced.

Excellent food quality reasonably priced

Food excellent as usual. Service great. No licence is a bit of a pain, just because I really like their own beers, but not a problem taking own.

Staff was not welcoming or friendly at all, food was average. Wouldn't go again.

Apparently they don't do tap water so got charged £3 for bottled. Should have gone to the stream, 1 Star

Well I have to say, it was a very delicious curry, it actually taste really nice and the lamb was also delicious and was done really well. However my criticism is the garlic and the garlic bread, it was just pieces of dry garlic sprinkled on my Naan which is just fell off, this could of done with some butter and then cooked garlic and maybe the garlic in the curry chopped a little finer. Other than that the restaurant was lovely and clean, the service was great and the food taste good and came out hot. Will definitely be back.

Partner and myself decided to give Purple garlic a try - our first time, ahead of booking a table for a Birthday bash in September. No license but that usually means getting better value as much of the price of a meal depends on the Beer or whatever is served. Bottled water at £2 as no tap allowd to be served seemed strange - but the water was then given Gratis. Mixed starter for 2 was excellent (lots of fresh Onion ) which I love then on to 2 mains Chicken Korma and a Prawn madras. Korma was fine, plenty of meat ( partner likes a lot of sauce and this can vary from place to place) . Prawn Madras was excellent - always my test of a place - AAAA+ loads of prawns - really plenty for 2 especially if you had Rice. 2 Naans and 2 chapattis ordered with the meal - Naans - lovely fresh ( 1 pheswari - lovely ) Would I go again - in a flash - delicous - but also make sure I am really hungry for the portion size. So looking forward to a Birthday bash in September. PS Coop is over the road for any alcoholic beverages.

Table was booked for a large party, everything was ready no waiting at all. Poppadoms and pickle trays were brought out very quickly. Had mixed starter for two which we both thoroughly enjoyed. Cant remember which curry I had but it was excellent with beautiful chapattis and good pilaf rice. The curry said medium/hot but was only medium, but this didnt spoil my meal. Would have given 5 stars but my Mother-in-law got a mushroom omelette and chips as she doesn't enjoy spicy foods. Unfortunately the only warm thing on the plate was the salad!! Maybe if selling English meals as well take as much care as they do over their fantastic Asian menu. Definitely worth a visit.

Been going here years for takeaway and dine in. Best curry house around

Delicious food, all come out together, presented well and very quick service. Bring own alcohol

Fantastic old school Indian, unlicensed so no over priced drinks, food is great value for money, excellent onion bhajis, best pickle tray and the finest Naan breads

Very reasonably priced food and good service Don't forget to take your own drinks, not licenced

We got served fast and with the starter we had more than enough food

Love this place. Feel very safe from COVID.

Love this restaurant for delicious food, generous portions and nice atmosphere. Recommend to everyone, you won't regret! )))

What was this prawn malyan its a good job we dint order king prawn malyan at £13

Always superb, been using purple garlic for years,best curry around.

Absolutely gorgeous. Nevertheless thought anywhere would be as good as Azeems, but I think I've found it. Definitely going back soon.

We order from here often and the curries never disappoint- it is by far the nicest indian food in Silsden!

Lovely food, great service, prices really reasonable

Wow wow wow the best curry in miles around had an amazing meal with my family my Brother Greg said it was good and he loves his food it has to be good to get him through the door I was not disappointed the food was hot all served at the same time staff were polite friendly the price of the food is very reasonable for the quality they serve I will be back on my next visit to the UK.

Always perfect. Peaceful and relaxing. Clean and prestine.

Purple Garlic continues to deliver high standard food. The tastes and textures as you eat are phenomenal. The service is polite and friendly. The delivery is friendly and honest. Long may you continue.

We have tried takeaway and liked it so chose to sit in. Food was excellent and the staff very friendly. If you like an alcoholic drink with your curry you have to bring your own.

Another fantastic Christmas day at the Purple Garlic. Never disappoints. Food is excellent and the staff are absolutely brilliant. Thank you guys. ..we'll be back soon.

Excellent meal and excellent service. No alcoholic drinks for sale however you can take your own.

Very nice curry. At the time of review didn't have an alcohol license but provided a good selection of alcohol free beers.

Fabulous food in a relaxed atmosphere. Friendly, pleasant staff. Definitely recommend this place 👍

Good food at good prices. Take your own alcoholic drinks.

Bursting with flavour, smart restaurant, friendly service. King Prawn Puree was superb, as was their Keema Nan and Peshwari Nan. Very clean restaurant.

Excellent food ,Very good Service 👍

Tasty food, relaxing environment

Tasty food, ambience is good and vibrant

Great food. Excellent service and friendly staff. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great meal great company and good service

We got a takeaway and we are absolutely blown away by the quality of the food. The fish and prawns in the Habibi Khana were perfectly cooked and full of flavour in a beautifully spiced sauce. Service and delivery time were excellent. We will definitely be ordering again - can’t wait to eat in. Thanks Purple Garlic team 😊

I've had eat-in and take-out meals from Purple Garlic on a number of occasions now. The food has always been great and the staff friendly. My most recent experience was particularly positive, and they were very helpful in identifying menu items which are (or can be made) suitable for vegans. Their vegetable garlic chilli is probably the best curry I've ever had, and I've had lots!

Being new to the village and tried most of the curry houses gave purple garlic and try and was not disappointed by far the best curry house in the village could not be happier with the service and more importantly the food highly recommended

We visited here after it was recommended by the man at Silsden boats when we hired from them. We’re so glad he did as the curry , service and restaurant itself was fantastic. From pickle tray right through to the Naan breads we all enjoyed the food and friendly staff.

Nice Indian food (better than average), and cheerful service with a smile.

Freshly made, good amount of garlic which I like and enough quantity. Only slight downside was that it was described as spicy hot compared to rest of the menu, but not what I found., and I am not a chilli fiend.

Lovely food with a huge menu for all tastes

I am a very picky eater when it comes to take away food. The curries we have just had from Purple Garlic have honestly been exceptional. Fathers day treat for my dad who is a massive lover of curry, he was blown away. Perfect, delicious, well impressed. Thank you Purple Garlic 👍

Veryfrendley and always good food all currys top Mack's could do be my self

Myself and a friend visited Purple Garlic to catch up and relex.The establishment looked clean and tidy with just a few area's in need of a bit of TLC e.g. cupboard doors with just screws protruding, cockeyed lamps and so forth...We ordered Poppadoms and pickle tray wich were very fresh and perfect to be fair. When we ordered our drinks my friend received a warm unchilled J20 with no offer of ice when ordered. The waiter brought our mains over even before we had finished our poppadoms and started moving our plates around even when I stated "you're too early" he just carried on.The main courses were very nice indeed, can't fault them at all. My chapattis came wrapped in tin foil rather than in a traditional cloth which is something i would expect from a takeaway, and not a sit down meal!All in all... The food was very good/enjoyable but the service is seriously lacking in attention to detail.

We came here as a group and it was lovely the food was good and the staff were very helpful. Everyone really enjoyed it I have celiac disease and they tried to ensure I got gluten free food but unfortunately it still got me.

Took a while to get served but worth the wait.

Great food, decent delivery time. Now our go to Indian takeaway!

Fantastic food, friendly atmosphere, clean and competitively priced, well worth a visit 😊

This was exactly what the doctor ordered after a day on a canal boat! The curry was delicious and the onion bahjis the best I can remember. The service was good and friendly. A bit of a hidden gem.

Outstanding food top class service the flavours of the curry are un real very...... Highly recommended even the takeaway its mind blowing good

Very good service plus the bar staff were excellent.

Lovely friendly staff and great curries enjoyed by all. Nice venue and ideal location on Silsden’s Main Street. Chefs were happy to adjust meals for dietary requirements for us. I would happily return!

Called early evening as I do not like to eat late. Friendly greeting from staff. Enjoyed mixed kebab starter followed by great curry. Couple of beers to go with it. Good value.

Excellent our second visit this week

Very good curry, great service.

We went to the purple garlic last night as a party of 4 we arrived on time and were politely asked to wait while they prepared table which they did and seated us within 5 to 10 minutes we sat down and were very cold dint think heating was on after 15 minutes we asked if we could order drinks as noone was forthcoming another 10 minutes and they arrived after the table next to us got theirs and they arrived 10 minutes after us , an hour after we arrived still no sign of food when we asked they apologised and ran upstairs with order 10 minutes later starters arrived my garlic prawns were like warm and bland and the onion bhajis were also very tasteless the other 2 starters were ok , nearly 2 hours after we arrived and no main course we again asked dif there was any chance of food and again they rushed upstairs to place the order which eventually arrived my curry was nice but the other 3 were again very bland and not much taste we finished our drinks and asked for the bill which arrived within seconds best service all night we did ask if they were short staffed and they just said no very busy but it seemed to us that lots of take awats were being collected and the restaurant was not being attended and we could hear other tables complaining about the time to serve too slow. Very poor and from start to finish it took 3 hours to have a starter and a main course they really need to get their act together.

Absolutely love this restaurant. Food is always fantastic and great value!

Whilst staying locally for the first time in the area I searched the local eateries and found many to be closed on a Tuesday night, I was pleased to find this pleasant curry house who served an enjoyable Chicken Jalfrezi, rice and nan with good prompt service at a reasonable price, would be happy to go again.

Generally good, though the food was less than spicy enough

Good value, ask for it to be spicy if you like hot food. It's a bit mild be default.

Nice friendly welcome and cosy atmosphere. Only ordered main course on this visit and was really spoilt for choice but finally settled on the balti bhuna which was really tasty served with the lemon rice. Very nice sized portion and struggled to eat everything. Reasonable prices and overall a really nice meal

Food was fantastic! Really enjoyed the food! Highly recommended!

It's hard to say a great deal about Purple Garlic. It's a perfectly adequate curry restaurant, like many others in the country. From our one visit here, we didn't notice anything special that set it apart, but there was nothing wrong with it either. If you go, you will get a good curry at a reasonable price.

Good service and great food, couldn't be happier

Always a superb curry, one of the best there is and I've been to a lot as I live in Bradford.. Staff are always nice and friendly too.

Ive had several currys from keighley and silsden and by far this is the best place. Very welcoming place and the food has never not been great. Would definitely recommend you try!

We called in without a reservation. There were plenty of tables when we got there but about 20 minutes later it was quite busy - clearly a popular local restaurant. The curries were tasty. One portion of rice is plenty big enough for two (maybe even three) people. Very good value for money - starters, curries, rice, naans, poppadoms, pickles and a couple of drinks just over £40.

Good food, great friendly service

It's ok for a curry, it's a little over sweet very westernised. I will go here from time to time.
