Shinwari in Bradford

I’m not rating service and atmosphere because we had it delivered to our hotel at a recent stay in Bradford. The namak mandi Karahi was like being in namak mandi - derra muzzaydaar! The naan exactly like the fantastic naan in Peshawar. The Chappli kebab were excellent and the salad was fresh and the chutney was killer. The Qabuli puloh - really beautiful aged basmati and was flavourful but it didn’t have enough masala (raisans and carrots - the carrots were grated which is a no, no and it should have been black meva - I’m being critical but still tasty) the lamb shank literally fell off the bone. One tip if you order family naan you’ll get a few - we doubled up but they were amazing and vanished. The delivery guy was super polite. If you come to Bradford then do order or go because it’s a gem of a place and it’s authentic Pakhtoon food - Qabuli is something I’d not order again because I can literally make it better! The karahi was the best I’ve had in the UK and it wasn’t a balti gosht masquerading as a “karahi”

The best rice I ever tasted ! Yahni (soup) was very nice too.

The best kabuli pulao and lamb chops and so tasty. Highly recommended.

Very nice food. Had the rice with a chicken kahrahi alongside, as well a chapal kebab, which was amazing sprinkled with some lemon wow. Would recommend and would definitely come back again. Staff are friendly and are there for anything you need attending to. Thank you to the lovely staff for being nice and helpful.

One of the best restaurant in Bradford for desi food. Must try

First time visit. I found the place to be clean, warm, and welcoming. The service was good and the food was tasty.

I ordered the tawa for two, which included a choice of either chicken or lamb curry, chapli kebab, fish, chicken wings, lamb chops, seekh kebabs and chips—all for £30. The portions were generous, and each item was flavorful, especially the lamb chops, which were perfectly spiced and tender. Service was attentive and friendly, and they accept both card and cash, which is convenient. The only drawback was that they don’t offer tap water, which would have been a nice option. Overall, a satisfying meal and great value for the price.

Very good portions and good price for food and good customer service

I ordered 1/2 charsi karahi and it was raw and watery

The chapli kebab is nice food wise but everything else we ordered as just not nice. The kabuli Pilao was bland and meat was fatty not well cooked at all. Way too much whole cumin. The food wasn’t worth us travelling for one hour. & Be prepared for greasy seats very unhygienic setting and filthy toilets with no baby changing facilities. Quite disappointing.

It has a strong reputation for offering flavorful dishes like Chicken Malai Boti, Seekh Kebab, and the popular Namak Mandi, known for its quality meat.

Its family-friendly environment and warm, welcoming staff.

Worst karahi ever tasteless karahi with no salt and green chilli Will never visit again Surprisingly the restaurant was busy on Monday night mostly male dinners Salad stinks was almost off, they served with in 5 to 7 minutes of order which suggests they have standard recipe and serve the same food under different options All in all not worth it there are many better places in Bradford to eat In my view over rated

Amazing customer service, tasty and good quality food. I ordered online, they delivered freshly cooked food. We'll order soso. In sha Allah

One of the best place to have Kabuli pulao with lamb shank and charsi karahi. Small sitting area

Bad service and quality of food is not same like before it’s expensive too not going there again

Jess was a fantastic host very friendly. Amazing food definitely recommend

I can from eu and got stop here the food and custumer service was amazing 🤗

I can honestly say that the food at this place has to be the best I’ve had in like forever. Very authentic, cooked to perfection and served in good time. The staff are friendly and very welcoming. For those that are looking for great tasting food, you have to try this place out. You won’t be disappointed

Visited this place recently with my brother and nephews. Ordered the tawa for 3 ppl and a jug of mango lassi. Plenty of food for the price and service was great. The highlight was the fried fish and chapal kebabs, both were amazing! The seekh kebabs, chicken tikka & chicken curry were ok but lacked flavour punch, will try the lamb next time. Overall very nice food and will be back again!

Hot, well cooked and yummy food with great service ans reasonable with price.

Amazing food. Have been coming here for 3 years never disappoints

Amazing staff, food, highly recommended, traveled from leicester and it was worth all the miles, Fairly priced too..

Value for money. Great taste. Better than even Pakistan. Feels like home❤️❤️❤️ highly recommended😍

Rude man behind the counter No deal with the catch pile

Terrible food and the fact that they took ages to serve too...

The Waiter suleiman was very friendly Food was good..worth the wait

Good food good service Suleiman is a G

I reviewed many other these Great multi flavouring Balance of commercial fat and sweet red green blue violet flakes wherever That's a great aspect The main needs less chilli and will be pre mixed with coriander and ginger parts if you are doing different animal is okay don't worry Enjoy

*5/5 Stars* "I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shinwari Restaurant on Leeds Road in Bradford, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! The moment I walked in, I was struck by the lush environment - the decor is modern, elegant, and spotlessly clean. But what truly stole the show was the food. I ordered the Shinwari Karahi and Chicken Karahi, and oh my, the flavors were OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD! The spices were perfectly balanced, the meat was tender and juicy, and the aroma was incredible. It's clear that the chefs at Shinwari are masters of their craft. The service was also top-notch - friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff made sure we had everything we needed. If you're a fan of authentic, mouth-watering Pakistani cuisine, look no further than Shinwari Restaurant. Their Shinwari and Chicken Karahi dishes are a MUST-TRY. I'll be back for sure!" Feel free to modify it as needed!

Busy place with quick service friendly staff and great food. Probably the best Chapli Kebab I ever had very authentic very unique recipe.

Quality food and service Busy at times which is a good indication of how good this place is.

I love the food here anytime I go. It's actually amazing. I want to cry of happiness. First time I went, I got the kebab and chicken karahi. Omg it's so good. Then. Next time I got the tawa for two for £30. Very reasonable prices it was delicious. Every time i come here I get so happy. Bc , food is rlly good. Definitely reccomend!

The food was great. I had the lamb shank pulao which melt in mouth. The ambience wasn’t great tbh. Overall, it was a good experience!

We order lamb leg but its very hard even its not cook properly and salt is very high.i am very disappointed.

Good breakfast today served by staff service was fairly quick..omelette was spicy ..parantha was just right (bit dry) tea is superb shame abit small servings. Cheap priced £1.50 for tea unbeatable value will be back to eat lots more

10/10 food very nice. would definitely come again . service was great and overall it was very good

Nice Pakistani peshawari food. Already good welcome and one of the best places for people from the North of Pakistan. The food tastes amazing. Portions are big too, and with everything on the increase, their prices too have jumped up. But the taste is of Pakhtonkhwa.

The service was excellent and we were served by an excellent lady named Jas

Best food, good food and good service.

Friendly clean atmosphere.Jas was amazing with all service and very friendly

We love the food jas was b good lady she gived us a very good service we are so happy and satisfied giving her 5 ⭐️

Excellent food and service, jas was great, she provided good service and great customer service

Food very delicious and with best service. JAS

Vinimos de Newcastle a Bradford y tuvimos nuestra cena ella. una comida tan sabrosa y el personal muy amable. ¿Especialmente boti de pollo malai? Seekh kebab con salsa verde y Namak mandi (mejor carne sin grasa y de alta calidad). Realmente recomendaría tener comida allí cuando u r en Bradford . . mejor comida afgana sin duda La mejor parte es que tienen lugar para realizar presas (namaz, salah). el lugar está muy limpio. Me encantaría ir a verlos de nuevo.

food ws so diffenrt n tasteless this time. portions a small now

We came from Newcastle to Bradford and had our dinner her.such a tasty food and very friendly staff. Specially Chicken Malai boti? Seekh kebab with green sauce and Namak mandi ( best meat without fat and high quality). I would really recommend to have food there when u r in Bradford.. best Afghani food no doubt The best part is they have place to perform prey ( namaz, salah).the place is very clean. Would love to go to see them again.

If you like to taste Pakistani food come to this place

Highly not recommended!!! I went last night with my 5 orher guests spent £185 which I shouldn't. I ordered half lamb but when food came it was proper cold (seems it cooked ages ago )and rice were also uncooked. I didn't complain that time as i didn't want to be embarrase myself infront of my guests. I ordered one day in advance half lamb but when food came in front of us it was cold and rice half of the rice were hard.

Good place to eat and enjoy ur desi food ..... the hospitality was amazing. Down to earth staff.

Food was really good and very delicious come again

Tasty food and good service and reasonable prices.

Extremely bad food, 👎 visited today at 3PM for lunch with family, ordered family tawa for 4, afghani pillau with shank. All the food items were old, chicken karahi was giving foul smell, returned back and they cooked new one in 5 minutes having the same rotten smell. The lamb shank was undercooked and they returned it back without charging us. All the BBQ items were hard and old probably from previous day. Dirty plates all stacked together were placed on table without cutlery and tissues, no water was served, old salad and old mint/ yogurt in catchup bottles. Overall an Extremely bad experience and will never visit again 😪

Food was great the lamb chops were juicy and great

One of the best authentic peshawari food, Chapli kebab taste the same as you would eat in peshawar. I highly recommend, will definitely come again.

I came here and they gave us a nice welcoming and the food is amazing never seen anything better

The food is high quality, i would recommend. Very tasty.

Love the authentic food and high stander customer service

Absolutely disgusting !!! Every bite of the chapli kebabs had bones / seeds in them. The sauces were watered down as if they'd been sat in fridge for days. Salad smelled very bad as if its gone off. Reported to Food Standards Agency. IDIOTS

Amazing food specially Chapli kebab and lamb karahi such a good taste and foods I m a big fan of chapli kebab original desi taste

100% requments lamb chops..great food

If your looking for traditional food of pakistan this Is your place service food and atmosphere is brilliant.

Absolutely amazing food, great customer service always been a great place to eat. Waiter's are very resepctful and helpful. Great prices for food .Everyone definitely needs to try Shinwari best place in Bradford to eat

Best food ever we been for Breakfast we love the food so we order full lamb for evening

We were regular customer but from past few months it's disappointing us. Last time we visited for breakfast. Ordered nihari, paya & chana. Nihari is totally look.like meat in water, paya was so tasteless and finally we eat only chana. There were too much soda in naan. I think chef is changed now and now we definitely not gonna try it again

Ordered kabuli palau. Got kajus Palau. Meet was perfect small portion and the rice had nothing on it. I couple pieces of carrots and Raisens. Could of been much much better. We payed for it. We didn't get it for free.

I been to this place few times and I really loved it. Food is banging service is excellent.

Good fresh food. Personally, I think it just needs a little renovation & and makes it more family-friendly

ordered chappal kebab and he gave me unhygienic and old one which caused food poison will never eat from there... Updated Now you call it fake review -here i upload pictures of chappal kebabs i ordered totally disgusting and horrible experience these kebabs were old, sickening ,sour in taste which caused food poisoning and rather than admitting you trynna blame customers

I like your food but please provide very very hot naan 🤤

I regret to say that my recent dining experience at shinwari restaurant Restaurant left much to be desired. While the service was passable, the food fell short of expectations. The dishes lacked flavor and freshness, and some even seemed reheated or stale. Presentation was lackluster, and portions were smaller than anticipated for the price. Overall, I was disappointed with the quality of the cuisine and wouldn't recommend this establishment to fellow diners seeking a satisfying culinary experience.
