rupali in Bradford

Waited an hour for a starter and still told it would be 3 mins when we asked. Walked our as no communication. Would not go back

Excellent value for money. I like very mild curry and they do mild bhajis which are delicious.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Quality always guaranteed. Nice food nice people 😋

So, these reviews are not clear. We had two meals each (4) plus sides and they were ALL very poorly flavoured, rather bland and one was a tandoori mixed grill, which is pretty hard to get wrong. Will definitely NOT be going back. btw, the curry sauce was actually pointless, never had such a poor flavourless sauce.

Superb meal, we have a boys curry club where we meet once a month and go to different restaurants, the Rupali is one of the best we visit, wonderful food and value for money, and you can BYOB, spot on

Our waiter was sound enough although didn't really seem to have any enthusiasm. The food is not good enough for Bradfordians where there is so much choice. The decor is 1980s-esque and toilets are upstairs. It's a weird thing this place still exists TBF the entire time we were there no one came in to eat (there were two take outs). It's pretty evident it's dead because the staff have a TV they just sit and watch when it's quiet. This is basically in the restaurant.... There is no uniqueness to the experience or the food. There appears to be no diamond in the rough here although I'd love a response from the staff letting me know what I missed! Apologies but Rupali is one to miss.

You have to book! Didn’t know this, walked in off the street, asked for a table for two, made to feel like an unwelcome outcast, so was turned away. Only two tables were occupied in the place! Went round the corner to Kashmiri Aroma, what a difference, place was packed and we were welcomed with warmth and friendliness. Great meal! Walked home past the Rupali, only one table occupied? Won’t be calling back anytime soon.

A great traditional curry restaurant, very attentive staff and great food at a reasonable price. Will definitely be returning.

Firstly, credit where credit's due. The Seekh kebab was a bit different from the norm and very good. The staff were very friendly and the price was reasonable. However, the mushroom pilau rice and chicken Dopiaza were very disappointing. There was nothing terrible about it, all cooked well etc. The disappointing thing was that I've tasted more flavour in a glass of tap water.

Got a takeaway here tonight and after trying other takeaways in Baildon this was spot on perfect for both our tastes , we will definitely be using you as our regular takeaway it was delicious .

I've been a few times over the last year, loved it every time The atmosphere was a bit quiet to begin with, but once word got it that it reopened, it's often been very busy, dine-ins and takeaway. Recommend booking, especially for large groups of 5 or more. No alcohol license, but you can take your own no problem Service has always been great. The owner has advised us on spice level (we like our food hot, but not so hot you can't eat it) Food, been as a couple and with friends and family, everyone has enjoyed it thoroughly. The price is pretty reasonable, too. You can pay on card, but i try to pay cash in small venues like this.

Without doubt the best value curry house in Baildon. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is very good quality and you get good sized portions. Best of all it has the best prices of any of the curry houses in Baildon. I thoroughly recommend Rupali.

Excellent food, value and service. The best Asian cuisine in the area.

Best curry house in baildon. Excellent tasting food, Take outs and delivery available.

Visited this evening as working nearby. It was quiet but lots of takeaways. The owner was very nice and advised on the local area as well as the menu choices. Having ate in lots of Indian restaurants I’d happily say this is up there with the best. I had the chicken madras which was hot and spicy but had the zing of lemon and fenugreek that I love. Delicious naan and lovely fluffy rice. Will definitely be back. Oh it’s also BYO so even better value.

Great food, but won’t go again. The food was great, it’s a shame after 5 fish starters there was no fish left for main courses. However, the steps to the toilets are awful, sticky, dirty and the flooring needs to be replaced, horrible, if / when these are changed would go again.

It was quiet cos England and Wales were playing, but the food was fab and the service was great too. We'll definitely be going again

Great. The food was great. The staff really friendly

I will certainly return... It was a quiet night early in the week.. . be nice to support them again. .Food excellent.. service perfect. ...Really nice people.

Absolutely love it. Will make pretty much anything to your specifications/needs. Also put me & my friend in labour!

You can now take your own alcohol so it makes it cheaper. The restaurant was very quiet which was a shame as the food and service was amazing. This restaurant needs support otherwise I can't see it lasting which would be a shame. Support it, highly recommend

Had a great family meal here great service and really good menu choices. I've also had home delivery which was also excellent

Lived in and around baildon all my life never heard of this place. Until today well what can i say best curry in baildon im suprised i haven't heard of it. Definitely recommend these guys nice big portions aswell and lovely staff. Will be back again for sure.

RUPALI IS BACK OPEN TO EAT IN! We ate there again tonight after a long break and the food was EXCELLENT. I've been coming here for years. My kids come here. My parents, my friends, their parents. What does that tell you? It is small and friendly, great value for money, and the staff remember you. Never had a bad meal here and if something isn't quite right they will sort it for you. By far my favourite part is that they will design a curry for you. Talk about what you like and how spicy, and they will create it for you. I love eating out and eat at restaurants all over the country. By far one of my favourites is the Rupali and I keep coming back year after year.

We love rupali....these guys are the nicest! So accommodating. Just talk to them and explain what you want. Never had a bad meal in or take away-collection or delivery. Reasonably priced too. Everyone has their own favourite curry house...if its not to your liking as such you still won't have a bad meal here!

I arrived at the Rupali restaurant about 8 o clock on a very rainy Monday night, unsurprisingly I was the only customer in the whole place. I decided not have rice with my Chicken Dopiaza so I plumped for chips instead plus Peshawari Nan the waiter obviously fearing for my sanity pointed out that this nan was sweet.,the curry was brought with a hotplate which kept the excellent chicken curry piping hot throughout my meal. Tasty, hot, very good value for money, in a clean nicely decorated establishment, polite and friendly service, well worth a look. A word of caution though, they no longer serve alcohol!

Wanted to give 4 stars,but they over charged me so will not be going again

Fantastic servive with a superb menu

unbelievable value for money and it's not hit and miss, very good every time. Never a long wait either and nice friendly staff.

Absolutely lovely owner and staff with the food to match.

By far my favourate indian restaurant. I have been eating here for years now and will absolutely continue to do so, although it isnt the biggest of places, the food, the service and the hospitality is out of this world. Everytime i go here im always entered with open arms by the friendly, jolly people that work here. The waiting staff are always smiling and chatty to make you feel comfortable. The food is impeccable and i cant rate it highly enough. I prefer a more mild dish so its rare i will venture towards the vindaloo/fal area on the menu but i can definatley say that although i like a curry abit more mild, i have NEVER had a "bland" meal here. Every dish is packed with flavour and taste, from your creamier curries to a dry one. From the quality of the meats to the sauces and everything inbetween, it is absolutley outstanding. I have taken many people here and they all love it. I would absolutely recommend this restaraunt to anyone.

Excellent food and service. So good we travel all the way from pontefract to enjoy their food

Staff friendly and helpful and the food fabulous. Thank you to staff for all their help

No problem getting a table for two on a Thursday night, very good service & excellent food ... We'll certainly be returning 👍🏼

Очень хорошая еда, отличные повара и весь персонал в том числе

Brilliant food and friendly staff

We go to the Rupali every now and again if we fancy a curry, we have never been disappointed. The staff are lovely, so polite and efficient. My husband loves the onion bhaji for starter, says it's the best he's had anywhere and he's had a lot of curries! The food is always really tasty and the chef will adapt if you like it hotter or milder just ask. Good value for money too, we had poppadoms and pickle tray, a large starter to share, a curry each, peshwari naan, pint of lager and large carafe of wine for £40! I also love the finishing touch of the complimentary Tia Maria. Thank you Rupali, we'll be back soon.

One of the best Indian restaurants around. The staff are lovely, friendly, helpful and always attentive. The food is second to none. We'll worth a visit.

Never ever had a poor meal here in 7 years, they will make you whatever you fancy and always happy to help with your selection. Abdul and staff are so welcoming and the restaurant is vert consistent

Lovely people, lovely food and a great experience !! If there's something you like not on the menu don't be afraid to ask, they'll always try to accommodate you.

Best curry I've had. And I've had many

Wonderful meal last night. The food was excellent and the service was wonderful as usual. They take care when providing meals for my daughter who has a severe food allergy. They have done this for many years and not just since the new rules on allergy information came into force. Thank you guys.

It is an amazing place and has really yummy food and lovely staff and I recommend going there

Good food. Excellent value for money. Service was a little slow. Other than that, very enjoyable meal

Excellent food and service can't fault them.!!

Fantastic food, great customer service and great value for money. Only constructive criticism is that they could improve their red wine selection but this should not stop anyone trying this superb venue.

The best curry in baildon and Shipley

As a family we have come to the Rupali for many years. We travel from Halifax to Baildom just for there lovely Currys. Everyone who work here are lovely. They make the best sauce as my other half says "It's the best he's ever had". Starters and mains are to die for.

Had a takeaway from here Sunday, having moved from the midlands to Bradford I have been constantly disappointed with Bradford Indian takeaways, so thought I would try somewhere a bit further away! Lamb tikka vindaloo was very nice, the meat was tender with hardly any fat and the vindaloo sauce was really good, the only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because it wasn’t hot enough!!

Whenever we visit Rupali the food is superb, the service is outstanding & I highly recommend this restaurant. The staff are very friendly, they always remember us even though we only go about 4-5 times a year & they usually remember what sort of dishes we like!

Excellent Indian and Bengali food.

Best curry house around. Been going here for at least 10 years, friendly staff and will tailor dishes to your needs

Had to place a last minute large order for a house party for pick up after driving to my usual and finding it closed for refurb. Despite my panic these guys did a fantastic job translating the long list that everyone had written down for me using another restaurant's menu and got it spot on. What's more, everyone loved it - my lamb saag was the best I have ever had. Will definitely be going back - highly recommend.

Service with a smile Great with kids Great food Can't ask for more than that Will definitely be back for more

Se está convirtiendo en un habitual aquí, así que decidió examinar, es bastante impecable en realidad. Un variado menú, con un montón de opciones variadas de entrantes, platos principales y a los lados. Muy fresco, comida y un personal cortés.

I love this place I regularly visit there is always a huge group of us and they always accomadate . The food is authentic and tasty tradition Indian food good value . The only negative I have is that the decor is abit old fashioned but the food is amazing

Never been before, will never go back again.......... Staff not very attentive or friendly, felt like we'd disturbed their night.................... The restaurant was dead, apart from us and the staff, and this was 10pm on a Saturday night. 1 type of beer only, and no cider. Admittedly, the starters were very nice, unfortunately, nothing else was.... Main courses were served in very big individual bowls, that were nothing more than big vats of liquid, with very little badly/overcooked solids included. 1 order was forgotten, 1 order was wrong. Considering there were only 9 of us, found it quite appalling that these errors were made......... And the thing we found to be most distasteful, the kitchen is upstairs, right next to the toilets....... Lovely eh???????? This was a very expensive mistake and put a dampner on my friends birthday.

My wife and i have lived in baildon many years.the food at the rupali is exceptional.it is a small family run establishment,the staff are very polite and remember you after your first visit,the even post out christmas cards.they have a menu like all returants but will make you just about anything,if they have the ingredients.if you are in baildon make sure you dont miss your chance to eat like a king

For this type of quality and overall service you expect to pay a lot more - be prepared for a pleasent surprise when you receive the bill.

We go here most weeks. Lovely food, not pretentious like some (aagrah, akhbars and mumtaz - to name only three). Good value for money and friendly staff. Try the chicken pakoras and the murgh or gost takary for a main course, or why not ask for a lamb saag chefs special (to die for). Once the staff get to know you, you find yourself favoured with a tasty liqueur before you leave. Try it, you will not be disappointed

My latest favourite starter is Lamb Chops usually available at Indian restaurants. Not here. I would have liked a glass of cider with my meal. Not here. No Lamb Chops so I chose my next favourite, onion bhajies. (Not sure of the spelling!) This was definitely the worse decision. Tasteless, greasy balls of rock hard onion and batter. Main course - I chose a chef's special which promised a 'Symphony of flavours' Chicken curry with a topping of crispy potatoes turned out to be chicken curry with tiny chips on top. Really nice tender chicken but not a symphony of flavours. The chapatis were too thick, the raita was wrong! All in all, I was disappointed.

We have been eating at the rupali for over 15 years and although we no longer live in the area we always make a special visit. The service is good,the food is excellent and the atmosphere is fantastic. Well worth a visit.

Best Indian in Bradford been going for years
