Sweet Centre Restaurant in Bradford

Nothings changed since they opened. Always fresh n delicious

One of the oldest and still one of the best in Bradford, in particular for service, cleanliness, and professionalism. Cannot fault them, warm, friendly service each and every time!

Best curry bar far!! The staff are amazing very helpful and very friendl. The food is truly amazing and we’ve eaten in most of the curry houses in Bradford!

First time visit today and I was not disappointed all the staff were very caring and professional. I recommend this place to everyone and my food was amazing it's a 10/10 and I will be going back.

Great food had a wonderful iftar meal at the Sweet Centre Restaurant the best curry house in Bradford. The place to be for quality food and service homely food

I reqd good reviews but i was put off by not accepting card or bank transfer so left.Only wanted cash

Amazing food great service and the best in the whole of Bradford. Had my iftar meal at the Sweet Centre Restaurant was really happy with the authentic food and service. And they do accept card payments. Will definitely be back recommend to everyone.

Has been our Asian food choice since we came to Bradford 30 years ago. One of the oldest curry houses in Bradford. If you want a beer then bring your own.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at an authentic Asian restaurant , and I can't recommend it highly enough! The highlight of my meal was definitely the seekh kebabs; they were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Each bite was tender and juicy, with a wonderful blend of spices that made them truly unforgettable. Not only was the food exceptional, but the customer service was top-notch as well. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that my dining experience was nothing short of fantastic. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, which really added to the overall experience. If you're looking for a place that serves delicious Balti chicken and provides outstanding customer service, this restaurant is the place to go. I can't wait to return for another amazing meal!

Amazing experience by the chef Waqar and Israr. Once a week I come and enjoy lunch. Awesome and great food. Great hospitality very very happy. Many thanks

These are probably the best sheekh kebabs outside of Birmingham. It'd be awesome if they could cook them fresh over a coal fire! 🔥 I would be delighted to come back again. Thank you, Bradford.

Amazing eat in experience, best masala fish and chicken tikka boti

A Legendary Establishment used to stop here on way back home to the midlands. Was up north had to go down Memory lane and ended up on Lumb Lane where Sweet Centre is. Didnt really have too much to eat due to travelling but what we did have was Bang On, happy to see they are still in Business and cant wait to pop in again In Sha Allah

Very rude man behind counter and miserable looking. Teas were cold. Made a face when asked to heat it up.

Had a lovely meal here with family. IMHO one of the best biryanis you’ll ever get. Really friendly service and genuinely lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

What a delight to dine in at the Sweet Centre! The food was delicious and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was traditional, freshly made and tasted so good. We were made so welcome by Waqar, he came to chat to us and even gave my husband a surprise birthday sweet treat. If you like good food, friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome, this is the place to come

The perfect Valentines Day meal! Myself and my partner came today and the service went above and beyond- it really does hang onto the family feel of the restaurant. You are welcomed like a long lost relative! The food was amazing! I got the medium chicken tikka masala balti and it was honestly potentially one of the best I’ve recieved and I’ve travelled to numerous restaurants for a good curry. The service was the highlight of the meal however even though the food is to die for, they really do care about their customers and it shows. Thank you for making our Valentine’s Day special 🫶.

100% coming back to this place! I last went 10 years ago and the food was outstanding! Went for Valentine’s Day today, and the food and service is just as good! The chicken balti is amazing and the starters such as the samosas and kebabs are the best we’ve ever had. My partner asked if she could take some pickle to take home and the house member gave us 4 on the house along with a free can of Coke for the drive home to add to the amazing service. Definitely the best in Bradford if your looking for authenticity

We've been coming here for 11 years now and have never even thought to leave a review. Food is amazing (so much so we're there most Fridays for our tea) and nothing is ever too much to ask. The owner, his brother and all the staff are so welcoming. See you next Friday guys 😂

Only time we ever go to Bradford. It's a must

Amazing experience, delicious food and excellent service, a special gem in Bradford!

Absolutely fantastic so so tasty food. I had the mixed starter and lamb karai. Beautiful thank you

food was excellent came out fresh and on point. staff were very nice and helpful the food came out in no time.

Desi nashta was better here in comparison to nearby popular Desi nashta places.

What an amazing place. The food is fantastic and all cooked fresh. Service excellent. Owner so hospitable and friendly. Can not recommend this place highly enough.

Rang them. Didnt answer question just put the phone down.

A national institution, the legend that is sweet centre. The best food establishment in the north. You will never find a tastier kebab elsewhere. The curries are divine. There is a reason that they have stood the test of time.

Service was 10/10 aswell as food would recommend

After 25 years, I made the effort to travel from Doncaster to do a "curry run" I wasn't disappointed. Quality food and quality friendly service from people who only wanted me to enjoy the experience. Worth the journey. Why did I wait so long!

The food and atmosphere is amazing! Service was quick and everyone was polite and helpful. Would recommend anyone to come here.

This is a great spot to have the best food that they serve. Their breakfast is a great option and Also great Customer Service.

Wonderful place to eat amazing food excellent service reasonable prices Highly recommend this place to eat with family and friends

This is the best curry I’ve ever eaten. Seriously good, very authentic to the family traditions. Last visited this iconic restaurant around 1990. The service was friendly and hospitable. Will be back for more very soon. Highly recommended. Established in the 60’s the place is an absolute 💎 of Yorkshire.

Ordered breakfast from here this morning absolutely disappointed the seekh kebabs were burnt and samosas too there didn't even give us any mint sauce when asked by the staff there was very rude I cannot believe this place as been here for so long and the service and food has gone downhill sweetcentre isn't the same anymore avoid this place it's disgusting if you don't want to get ill all there do is warm the food up in the microwave and serve u I won't ever come to this place again. I have the right business i do now where I ordered from and I will not be removing the review as I won't people to now to avoid this place your food is disgusting so is your service your business on lumb lane am referring too so I have the right business

Wow!! What a superb authentic Asian restaurant this is. The food is of the highest quality and is a taste sensation, carefully and skilfully blended spices to create the most amazing curry ever. We had the Balti chicken murgh and Balti goscht, the latter being the favourite. Not only was the food amazing, the customer service was too. Lovely lovely kind people who take the time to talk to you and explain about the food and the start of there fabulous restaurant, which they are quite rightly very proud of. I just wish more food establishments could get it right just like these guys do. Thankyou so much for a wonderful experience. We will be back very soon.

The food was good staff was good happy environment loved it

Fantastic food, I have been going here for must be 40 years, I travel miles from my home to here and worth it.

Such a shame the original Sweet Centre restaurant is being confused with the obviously vastly inferior takeaway on the corner. The original sweet centre is the same now as when I first ate there 35 years ago! Bhuna, Madras, seekh kebabs, everything here is consistently good, as is the service from Waq and the rest of the team. GO TO THE RESTAURANT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOCK, **NOT** THE ONE ON THE CORNER!

I ate here a couple of months ago for breakfast and can highly recommend! The food was delicious... I'm still dreaming of the bread...😍. The service was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The rest of the customers were super welcoming too - which made for a lovely experience. Bradford has got to be one of the friendliest places I've visited. 5/5 for food, service and atmosphere - Google won't let me adjust the scoring!!

Great service and food was fresh. I got parantha, chanai and samosa and egg. All tasted amazing - tickling my taste buds. Great authentic feel in the space and delicious food made to my tailored requests for the parantha and egg. The desi tea tops it all off - traditionally made with quality. You can't get desi tea like this anymore across many other new shops which have popped up now. Would highly recommend!

This place has a real traditional feel. A great family run restaurant. Provides authentic food and flavours. The restaurant has recently had its 60th Anniversary and is one of the Oldest establishments that still does old school dishes.

Consistently amazing food and service. Never lets you down!

Just dined at the great Sweet Centre Restaurant, I have to say what a meal, started with the Seekh Kebabs and Kashmiri fish, Mouthwatering, our main we had the Lamb off the bone and Torkah dal, with Tandoori Roti and Chapatis, this has topped any restaurant in Bradford I have visited so far, the chef came and asked if the food was good, exceptional, very hospitable waiter as well, top marks all around

Very nice trip to Bradford yesterday. The food was excellent and really tasty. My lamb was very tender. It fell of the bone. And was delicious. Lovely chapatti to go with it and rice. The starters were great my fish was spot on and my partners onion and veg pakora was very nice too. Would highly recommend the chicken tikka on the bone starter which my son got. The taste blew us away. Thanks

Christmas Eve and just had the best curry of my life! Thanks sweet centre

Great work event. Fully catered for - a hidden gem in Bradford

The food at the Sweet Centre Restaurant is the finest this place is legendary I highly recommend anyone to try the Sweet Centre Restaurant top class service and amazing curries. Will be back again

Atmosphere 10/10 what a banging place

Been going to the Sweet Centre for 20+ years. Always been an incredible, authentic curry. The dishes never seem to change in quality. The staff are fantastic and friendly.

Brilliant food, amazing service and will definitely be revisiting!!

Fantastic atmosphere excellent food especially the chicken biryani will come again 100%

Amazing food and lovely staff. Will definitely be revisiting.

Fantastic food and service. Local legend these guys

Beautiful Food, Great Customer Service!

Worth every penny, as recommended by my friend the food was fantastic, specially the channa puri and seekh kababs. In Bradford it’s very hard to find a food and taste like sweet centre. Highly recommended and must try place. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, the service was also very quick. 👍👍👍

Been going to the Sweet Centre for 20+ years. Always been an incredible, authentic curry. The dishes never seem to change in quality. The staff are fantastic and friendly. Highly recommend the mixed starter and Chicken Bhuna!

Visited with a load of freinds and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The staff were very freindly and easy to get along with. Also an amazing atmosphere

Absolutely pathetic! Ordered food chap at the front with the waistcoat all over the place, didn’t know day of the week. I ordered a large order of starters, he goes I didn’t charge you for it, PRINCIPLE WAS I DID TELL HIM NUMEROUS TIMES 15X KEBABS, & 5 SAMOSAS. Lesson learnt, and I’d recommend you all go to the breakfast place instead different owners and better, service! All I got was a sorry at the end, and no consideration for the travel back to the branch.

Happy 60th Birthday Anniversary- what a wonderful meal we had too. I ate a separate starters and my main was lamb with a daal. (Samosas £3.50 pakoras £4.95 and Shish kebabs, Balti Gosht £13.99, Tarka Dahl £7.95). All together we spent at least £80 and were charged £55. For seven meals including take out. They generously gave a 30% discount as part of their birthday celebrations. The meal was very filling and portions were large. The food tasted delicious too. Authentic beautiful foods.

Use to love it still love it but they stop taking cards which is not good if customers out side off city with come no cash not on top driving trailer hardly find parking but when get in they don't take cards cash only have to give business to other places food is nice though.

Payai were not fresh, and was charged 16 for a small tube, they were not made today, the taste was awful. I expected the food to be at least fresh, and not cold.

Very good desi breakfast, halwa chana pury one of the best in bradford, cheap price's 😋

Make sure the charge you right money. Because we been charged extra for food which we already paid over the counter... although food wasn't nice too.

The place is cramped. This is no rule Pakistani style queuing. It is busy until 1pm and the place is cramped. First come, first serve. Now the food - you want halwa puri get there by no later than 12 noon or it’s naan instead. The channay are serviceable and the halwa tastes buttery and isn’t sickly sweet. The naan are good. Biggest disappointment is the seekh kebab - they look like turds (God forgive me!) - chewy, bland and even with the sauce it’s not good. The tea is serviceable but the mango lassi was standout. It’s good to go and say you’ve been - but I wouldn’t go again. It’s a landmark and back in the day people would come from all over to have the halwa puri. Parking is not possible so we walked from the city centre which took 25 minutes and it was a simple walk. Upshot is most YouTubers who review halal food actually have no taste and it’s clear they get paid to give reviews. Please do go and once you’ve been then you can say you’ve been. No a repeat destination.

Beautiful Food & Beautiful Service Nothing More To Say

The food at the Sweet Centre Restaurant was amazing the best in Bradford. The service was top class this a proper authentic curry house been established for 60 years will come back again

Fantastic place great atmosphere service and out of this world food to die for

An amazing bradford establishment serving great breakfasts, snacks and sweets. Their seekh kebabs and samosas are amazing!

Israar and Nisar were so helpful and so supportive. This is a place that you need to get yourself down to as you feel like you’re eating in your house. The food was pipping hot and amazing and there were not complaints about it. The service however was the best service received at a restaurant hands out.

Brother Waqar and Brother Asrar are two of the most genuine and kind-hearted people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. From the moment we arrived, their warmth and hospitality made us feel completely at home. The food was absolutely outstanding, and the service was spot on. The atmosphere of the restaurant was lively yet comfortable, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. I travelled all the way from Leeds, and it was worth every mile. This place brought back such fond memories of my childhood, when I used to come here and enjoy their famous seekh kebabs. The flavours were just as incredible as I remember, if not even better, and every bite felt like a trip down memory lane. This is more than just a restaurant; it’s an experience. I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Whether you’re local or visiting from further afield, it’s a must-visit. The food, the people, and the overall vibe make it a truly special place. A solid 100/10 from me – don’t miss out on this gem!

Have had it several times in the past always the same

I love the Sweet Centre Restaurant The best curry house in Yorkshire thank you to israar for your lovely service will be back again to the main restaurant side. I recommend having the karahi handi chicken brilliant service and great value for money

Sweet Centre Bradford - A Gem of a place. Lovely food, great service , run by family. This is not your average restaurant. You are greeted by attentive Staff that really make you feel at home. We Tried the lamb on the bone, the Chicken And Spinach Karahi, and the Fish Masala. This is by far a unique restaurant that the taste of the curry is not like the rest. The meat is tender and the flavours are authentic. I would recommend for a great experience.

Never been disappointed , have been coming here for many years with my family and its always lovely food, a nice relaxed atmosphere with very friendly staff !

Had a traditional Kashmiri breakfast. Cholay puri, sheek kebabs and meat samosa. Great food.

Always decent food from this old school place in Bradford. It’s not fancy and you get what you pay for which is some great traditional food. Please don’t change 🙂

The service was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, Sweet Centre is a gem for anyone who loves authentic Pakistani cuisine. Highly recommend for a flavorful and satisfying meal!”

The service is always top notch.It is always nice to dine here as the atmosphere is like no other.I highly recommend it

It is unique and has great service .It has an amazing enviroment.I highly recommend it.I love how it gives you a flashback of the past as it is a family oriented establishment.

Brilliant desi breakfast! Super tasty puri. Very nice and friendly staff. Offered us free water bottle as well ♥️

One of the top 3 restaurants in bradford, Classic chicken masala & lamb seekh kebabs, The waiter( big lad) who has been there forever always gives a brilliant service with a smile. Highly recommend 👌

Came for breakfast and it was incredible. The food was delicious and the staff were so accommodating and friendly. I can't wait to come back!

Brilliant place to sit in and have a curry. Place is clean and tidy and welcoming. Staff all welcoming and cheerful and made the special chicken karahi really nice and will return

We first came to The Sweet Centre in the early 1980s and visited almost weekly for many decades. We had not been for maybe 20 years so this was an exciting visit we looked forward to. Staff were lovely, helpful and kind; the food was delicious. The popadoms and pickle tray were wonderful, my started of shami kebabs was the best ever. It is good you can take your own alcohol as it means you take the exact drink you like. It is amazing to think a restaurant has been going for such a long time. Well done to all at the restaurant. Thank you.

There were a lot of food options available, all at a very reasonable price. The one I chose was tasty and the portion size was very generous. The staff were also very friendly and attentive. I couldn't have asked for more.

Absolutely horrific experience. Daylight robbery is an understatement. Miniscule portions, dirty chairs, dirty tables, dirty floor, EXTORTIONATE food and TINY portions. NEVER AGAIN! No idea what the hype about this place is. Save your money and go elsewhere! Awful doesn't even quite cover it.

We had a wonderful evening meal , all was very well cooked .. great to see the Restaurant has stayed true to its values.

Great food the best in Bradford come down to the restaurant side.

Grest food . Excellent customer service. A geat place to eat with family And friends

We were a group of 7 and went here for breakfast as the place we'd initially went into also called "Sweet Centre" had an awkward seating set up so we went a couple of doors down to this place. It was a clean and tidy restaurant with what can only be described as old school decor which I liked, but the best thing was their music choice! They played absolute bangers from the 90s. Now, growing up in the 90s me, walking into this place was so nostalgic. I loved it! It reminded me of restaurants we'd go to as children with our parents way back in the day. Ok so the food: we had tanka dhaal, chickpea and potato curry with parathas and naan, spicy wings and shish kebabs. It was good food. We had to add salt but we may jusg prefer more salt than the average person. The service from the waiting stsff was lovely. The waiter had a joke around with us and made an effort to engage the children too. All in all, I really liked this place.

Nothing but praise for the old timers who have been around for 60 years Brother israr was very polite and accommodating he saw my wife wears niqaab and suggested the family room which was perfect for us Brother israr and other waiters where very polite all the way through so I was going to give them a 5 star review on this alone But the food was 10/10 order meat seekh kebabs where delicious chola puri and halwa was also good but the star of the show was the paratha fresh and crispy also got some daal to taste was also very nice The best desi breakfast I have by far will definitely be returning

Fabulous food and service, best samosas and kebabs ever!

Excellent service, great quality authentic food, reasonably priced. Will definately be returning.

Good family time out. Home style food. Prayer facilities.

Brilliant food as usual. Both atmosphere and service were great, with waiters being very attentive. Israr especially was always checking that we were okay. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic customer service thank you Waqar for the lovely service you made us feel at home. I was recommended the Karahi Handi Chicken And Spinach. Wow it was awesome make you sure give these guys a try thank you will be back again. The best place in Bradford
