Thaal in Wakefield

Called in for a last minute Saturday night curry and so glad we did. Amazing food can highly recommend the version starter it was unreal. The service was fantastic our waiter was so friendly and even chose my dish for me. I was struggling to choose from all the dishes on the menu so I took a gamble and let him pick. So glad I did as it was so nice. It was the chicken Naga. Can’t wait to go back and try more.

This is a great restaurant serving high quality, very well presented authentic Indian food. It is one of the largest restaurants I have been in re: floorspace and somehow never feels overcrowded. Waiters are attentive and service time is generally good. There is a courtesy drinks trolley, which comes around at the end of your meal, serving complimentary spirits- something I have never experienced elsewhere. Value for money is good; expect to pay £30-35 a head for a two course meal with drinks and coffee. I keep returning; it is that good.

Lovely food and great service, we haven't been here for a couple of years but the food was amazing and we will definitely be back soon. We were a table of 4 and we all really enjoyed our meal. Service was great, we didn't need to wait for our drinks to be topped up.

This is the third time we have visited this restaurant. Last night was for my husband’s birthday. It was a Monday and Halloween. I booked a table for 7:30pm for 3. The first time we visited the restaurant in August everything went really well. Great food and service. Second visit was a Friday night and the service was poor but again the food was good. I thought I would give it another go as the poor service could just have been a one off!! How wrong I was. Only one other family in the restaurant when we arrived and they soon left leaving us the only people in the whole place you would have thought that this would have resulted in excellent service but it was completely the opposite. The owner treated us like we were a complete inconvenience! Never smiled huffing and puffing at us. There was a young man who rolled his eyes every time we asked for anything. Only one member of staff who smiled and was polite. It was such an awful experience if it wasn’t for the fact that it was my husband’s birthday and that the food was nice I really wanted to leave. We will not be visiting again. If you do not want people to come to your restaurant on a Monday night then please don’t take the booking! I so wish we had gone somewhere else!!! Disappointed and upset that my husband’s birthday meal was spoilt!!!

Booked for 7.30 last Saturday, arrived at 7.20 and was asked to wait, drinks order finally taken after 8 and eventually sat at table after 8.30 finally getting food just after 9. No apologies, we’d booked but they obviously prioritised walk ins or over booked.

We ordered food on the phone to collect and what a great decision that way! Absolutely amazing food, had a great selection of vegan options for my partner. She had a Dupiaza and I had a Bhuna, I would highly recommend both! The service on collection was second to none and the host was excellent. I will certainly be ordering again, it was well worth the 20minutes drive!

My wife and I went to the Thaal Indian Restaurant in Brotherton last night and had a fabulous meal at a very reasonable price. We had poppodoms with pickle tray to start with, followed by the most succulent and tasty seehk kebabs I have ever had. We then had our main course. My wife had chicken tikka masala and I had the chicken palak, served with pilau rice and the lightest fluffiest naan bread ever. Absolutely gorgeous. All washed down with 2 pints of beer each. We were both stuffed full when we had finished and the bill was only £35. Amazing!!Staff are very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be going back there again.Marvellous.

Went for fathers day meal firstly table gad chip Mark's all over it then the main meal come very small portions had a lamb dish very tough and chewy even my son complained it was rubbish food also we got asked 6 times for more drinks even asked for more drinks when we all had a full glass. Very pushy for drinks and food was poor and small, wont be returning again

This used to be such a lovely place that was warm, welcoming and had the personal local touch that regular diners experienced. Tonight my wife and I booked a table for 17:45 and arrived on time. After ordering it was 40 mins before our starter arrived but saw it go to another table to the other diners annoyance and ours. It was another 10 minutes to put it right and then another 35 minutes after we had our starters before we politely asked how long our main was going to be. Finally the mains arrived some 1 hour 30 mins after ordering and the waiter could only say it was taking so long because they were busy but the tables around us see not full but people were in the same situation with how long it was taking. The take away orders were getting priority and the nice pleasant waiters and staff were simply running round like head less chickens with blank faces not knowing what to do. My wife and I always bigged up this restaurant and up until tonight was our go to place. The food is top class but without decent or even acceptable service the whole experience is not very nice. The man in charge did come over to apologise before we left but he offered no discount or further explanation as he hurriedly took our payment as his queue of takeaway per was getting longer. We were planning before tonight of going for Xmas dinner again there this year as it was fantastic but tonight has dimmed our lights and they have lost a loyal customer and what that loyal customer can add with the recommendations we used to give to people (I’m a local taxi driver) but alas now it will not have my stamp of approval. Very sad indeed.

Went last night, really missed the curry’s from here, very nice meal and friendly staff, also very good fair priced menu.

Brilliant meal courtesy of the guys at the Thaal, Everything is fresh, piping hot and made to your exact requirements, the guys cant do enough for you.Sadly, we had to share our night with people choosing to be belligerent and loud on a nearby table who's eventual behaviour ruined a few people's evening, it looks like they had the audacity to complain on Tripadvisor too! Look a little closer to home, which is where you should stay if you can't behave in public.Overall the food and service at the Thall are top notch, they've adapted to the covid restrictions well and it remains a great friendly environment and fantastic fresh food.

Was absolutely out raged waiting 30mins to be seated then on top had to ask for drinks. Waited upto 45mins to then having to ask for food aka poppadoms and pickle tray. The times was absolutely terrible will not be going again didn't even get an apology

We were booked into elsewhere for our anniversary meal, but decided to change location at the last moment. We chose Thaal and were amazed at the quality of all their dishes, served in lovely Covid secure surroundings. We felt safe, relaxed and that we were experiencing food that had been prepared by what must be one of the best chefs we've be served by. It was certainly the best Indian meal I've ever had. Well done Thaal for good food and taking Covid seriously.

We were waiting a long period to be seated after been pre booked, burnt egg in my daughters egg fried rice mixed with other items made it look like a lamb dish, no napkins no chance what are they?,the chicken Madras was no better than a packet curry from ASDA, they tried passing off a bowl of chopped onions as red onion sauce, unfriendly staff with terrible service asked plenty of times if want more drinks but can they hell manage to take a food order ,had high Hope's for this place as came recommend by friends deeply disappointed and certainly not worth the menu at full price. I dont normally write reviews but left telling kids we will call to McDonalds on way home I want to warn others stay clear they are committing a crime against food lovers.

Anyone who is planning one visiting don't bother, we had a table booked for 8:30pm for 6 people yet we did not become seated until 9:00pm at wich point the kids became tired at did not want to order and wait for a meal. we fanily sat down and was asked several times what drinks we wanted to order but was not given the decision to order a meal. Eventually we ordered and was given nothing better than a packet meal from Asda, they clearly ran out of cream and eggs as the creamy chicken dish was cream less and the egg fried rice was filled with random vegetables that looked to have been quickly mixed into the rice, the egg that as actully in the EGG fried rice was burnt. We began to finish the meals at this time we realised that we had no napkins or a substitute of any sort, clearly napkins don't exist in there 'restraunt'. SOME of the above could have been forgiven with the chance that Covid had interfered with the normal was of doing things but there is no excuse for bad service of any sort. Needless to say we were very disappointed with our visit and will not recommending or be visiting again.

Great food served in a lovely restaurant. The Onion Bhaji are the best I’ve ever tasted. Fast & efficient service. Well worth a visit.

Called at this restaurant on our UK trip. The food was amazing and would recommend this place to anyone

On collecting my take-away order I decided to quickly check the bag on my way out... yep, not my order. OK this can happen.Then on getting home with the 'correct' order, we discovered that one of the starters was inedible and the one of the main courses was completely the wrong dish.I called and they said they'd have replacements ready in 10 minutes and that they would also refund. 30 minutes later the relacements were ready. On getting home one of these was again wrong and as for the refund, non-existent.There's a good reason people travel that bit further to the Aagrah.

Attended with friends. The bar area was very cold whilst having pre meal drinks. Food okay not my standard of asian cuisine, basing that on asian restaurants around Bradford, not on the same level as Aagrah etc. The food was average, small portions, sundries expensive, drink was also expensive. The staff were very friendly and polite, overall not my favourite place to eat. Sorry but I was not that impressed

First time visit. Booked a table for 7pm. It was fairly busy on arrival, but we were seated before time, offered drinks and our order taken. Pickle tray, starters and mains ordered. All delicious and spaced out with appropriate timings. Not particularly large portions but plentiful with the three courses. Anything larger would have been too much. It was a lovely relaxed meal without being rushed. Will visit again.

Amazing food, great quality fabulous service at what must have been the busiest night of the year. The staff were working so hard with some challenging customer's all delivered with smiles. Yes we had to wait a while but in the grand scheme of things the staff were absolutely brilliant. Food was as good as usual, 5 star quality and 5 star service.Well done everyone, looking forward to our next visit soon.

I booked a family birthday meal here (~13 of us), there were warning signs of bad service at the start; Numerous issues to raise with the visit:> We sat for 20 minutes before being asked if we wanted drinks> We had to ask for poppadoms and pickle trays> One drink was missing and we had to ask numerous times for this while waiting for starters, by the time it came, we were all ready to order another round of drinks> We had about 7 different table service people come to our table in the end, each time we had to repeat the drinks we had previously ordered….They obviously didn’t communicate.> The mains took 1 hour after the starter-plates were taken away> We asked for the bill, waited 30 minutes then got-up to pay at the entrance> After complaining and requesting money off the bill, they reduced it from £264 to £250. There was no apology, just a shrug and excuse being “It’s a Saturday we are busy”> Table booking: 6:30pm, leaving time: 9:30pm, actualy eating time: 1hour (~2 hours waiting in total)> The starters were small so was overpriced > The mains and sides were good, top quality taste> As you can read, the service and wait time was dreadfulThis is the first (and hopefully last) Review I have to Post, but I feel I have to Post this to prevent others from the disappointment I have faced tonight. I will never come here again.

Hi all, we were heading out for sunday lunch and passed this place and decided to break tradition and give it a whirl. Anyway the place looked nice inside and the staff were pleasant. My other half order off the set menu for 9.95 and I orded off the main menu. Well when the main cause came my face dropped, the size of my dish was so small it barely covered the bottom of what I think was a soup bowl. Not good when my main cost more than our lasses full meal. Anyway it tasted great to be fare but I felt ripped off. I wont be going back again which is a shame cos it was nice food.

An impromptu visit on Monday evening did not disappoint, the restaurant and staff are always immaculately presented. We ate from the set menu, £9.95 for 2 courses, it was gorgeous and very quick service

After first visit can't wait to return, very relaxed atmosphere and a good break between courses which I prefer. Nice bar area to sit, get a drink and browse the menu. Service was very good and waiter helpful and informative. Vast choice on menu and cooked to how you prefer. Food definitely in the top 3 of any curry restaurant I have visited, couldn't be negative about anything at this place, highly recommended.

Used to go here a lot a few years ago. Tried it for the first time in a couple of years last Saturday. Ordered and eventually an hour later the food arrived. Wasn’t even that busy. Food was ok but didn’t get much. During the meal a flower seller came over to our table. Not sure how much they actually give to the charity but £2.50 for a plastic rose is a rip off. Made to feel embarrassed by these people if you don’t want to buy one. Don’t understand why the restaurant lets them in when people are eating. Disappointed and won’t be going again

Great food, fantastic staff, lovely atmosphere great red wine, what more can you ask for. Keep up the good work

Just found out this place was even on the map so tried it for my birthday as not too far from my house, the place is finished to a very high standard very large building so I thought we were in for a very nice meal, the problem I have is I’m interested in eating authentic meals not British churned out slop flavoured for the British p*** head, when 4 different curry’s come out the kitchen all the exact same colour you know something isn’t right correct me if I’m wrong should a korahi and a Balti be exactly the same colour? No! The problem with places like this is they use a pre made gravy that they throw in at the end of cooking it makes cooking the curry a 5 minute process instead of 25-30 minutes, and when you ask for a curry Asian style that means you want it with more flavour /spice than your average box standard British Indian! Lamb karahi asian style means u want it hot!!!! It stated on menu this was a medium dish there wasn’t even so much as a pinch of chilli in it apart from the fresh chillis on top that were mild, I won’t be visiting again very poor and small portions too, staff friendly but chef not authentic whatsoever, sorry but crossed off my list!!!!!

Where do I start! Been eating there for at least 10 year's! Quality, variety, flavours, price! Megga!

What a lovely meal. The log fire was burning nicely giving a nice warm glow and just enough heat. The food was beautiful and cooked freshly with maximum flavours and taste. Offered a complimentary drink following the meal too. Very polite and efficient service. Definately will be visiting again

not been for a while so an impromptu visit. Nice to see the log burner on as quite chilly. Mixed starter was delicious, the chicken tikka especially. Mains really fragrant and freshly cooked. Definitely will be going back soon. Nice level of attentiveness too.

Delicious 😊 Great service and large menu. Really good evening and we all enjoyed the food. Definitely coming again.

Food was piping hot. Starters and mains were lovely. All staff very attentive, polite and couldn’t do enough for you. Best naan I’ve ever had. We ended up with another tables drinks on the bill but that was soon sorted. It was our first visit and will go back once I’ve saved up again.

What more can I say but Top Notch, food fantastic all freshly cooked, very friendly welcoming staff, pleasant atmosphere. If your thinking of having an authentic Indian meal then this is definitely the place to go, will definitely go back 😊

Not been for a few years but this place hasn't lost a beat. Still great service and beautiful food. Pickle tray was gorgeous and it just got better from there.

Fantastic food, great service,love the new Decor. Very clean restaurant Also the 3 Course sunday to Wednesday menu for £9.95 is good value for money. Plus Free Wifi

food was incredibly average, no authentic indian touches and they have no clue how to make a good lassi...however, waiters were polite

We’ve been visiting the Thaal for years now and been on over 60 occasions. Never had a bad meal and invariably receive a warm welcome - highly recommended!!

Recently visited as we're new to the area and love Indian cuisine. We normally go further afield to a well known chain but decided to give this a try to see how it compares with it being local. Although the food was nice we weren't impressed with the presentation of the food. The chips were just thrown on a plate that was too small same for the rice and the chips looked like microwave chips not restaurant quality. Staff friendly but not attentive. We went not long after it opened on a Saturday and we were the only ones in the whole time we were there. No music or anything so atmosphere felt awkward. Prices were the normal for Indian cuisine but with that is of thought a bit more effort would go into presentation and quality of food.

Fantastic food great service lovely decor fully air conditioned restaurant good for large parties birthdays and all occasions Loved it.

Often go here when we want an Indian cause it’s so nice, love the family feel it has all staff helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone! Go in a long sleeve top tho as it’s often a little chilly.

Brotherton is known for many things, but unfortunately it isn't known for quality of its curries. It should be, and the name on everyone's lips should be - Thaal!

Visited for the first time on Good Friday with my 3 boys.

This restaurant is great venue with loads of appeal and contemporary decor. The staff are really polite and helpful and the food is really very nice well presented and freshly cooked. The 2 naan we had was too much so we had a doggy bag great place can highly recommend it.

Not been for a couple of years but saw the advert for the 3 course meal £9.95. Entering restaurant at 7.15pm it felt cold and they sat us next to a radiator that was flat cold but they turned it on. We joked with another couple nearby and sat with our coats on. 3 Course offer was very basic so opted to choose from main menu. Food arrived very quickly and was ok but by the time we ate the main courses served in wide china dishes it was nearly cold (probably due to ambient temperature!). At pay desk we pointed out that the place was cold and manager said "It's a big place to heat:" "correct but not our problem" we tell him and advised to put heat on earlier. His response, "well you were late". Ridiculous response seeing as we had not booked and just turned up! he tells us it will be a lot warmer next time we come but he is dreaming.....won't be going again!!

Not been dissapponted yet. Tend to go every couple of weeks. Like to try something different and thaal gives you plenty of choices.

We visit Thaal most weeks and have never been disappointed. The service is always attentive and we are very well looked after I can't recommend it enough. The food is great quality and there is plenty of choice and even a special deal menu on Sun - Wed. Give it a try!!

First visit here tonight, fancied a break frpm the norm. First impressions; lovely clean & spacious, staff very attentive, food gorgeous, will be returning.

Attentive staff, clean and spacious interior, new decor and great menu. Highly recommended. We’ll be back again

We returned to the Thaal after a while since our last visit. We had to ask for the midweek menus...

All the old favourites, plus the mid-week specials, and cool new stuff. Best fish curries you'll ever get this far...

Buena comida a un precio muy razonable. Cálida bienvenida del personal. Tenía una agradable velada con amigos, recomendaría

Uno de nuestros restaurantes favoritos. La comida siempre es precioso y el personal es amable. Recomiendo encarecidamente una visita.

Probado ya que estábamos en la zona. Gran lugar con un ostentoso interior. La comida es muy buena, y las porciones generosas. No es mi tipo de decoración, pero la comida era buena y el servicio era eficiente.

Cenamos por primera vez tarde en un día de semana y había pocas mesas completas. Disfrutamos de bandeja pickle, entrantes y platos principales y todos eran encantadores. Mi vegetales samosas eran muy diferentes a todos los que he tenido antes. Eran realmente buenos. Mi compañero tenía un plato de salmón que dijo era deliciosa, pero había un montón de cebolla y no mucho salmón. Platos principales estaban realmente fresco y sabroso. Había un montón de platos que nunca había oído hablar de así que intenté algo nuevo, no recuerdo el nombre, pero era realmente precioso. Restaurante parecía realmente bonito y el servicio era bueno.

This was our second visit to Thaal, the first being a couple of years ago. Nice place, well laid out, polite staff - so far so good. No Indian beers on draught which was a shame. Starter excellent Kundan Machli - nice solid pieces of well-spiced fish; I was looking forward to my main, something I'd not seen before called "Murghi Shoshi" (Marinated chicken cooked with paneer in a medium spiced sauce, garnished with onion rings). Sounded good but I like my food to be quite spicy so I asked the waiter if he could spice it up a bit from a 'medium' sauce to something a bit hotter. Sadly it was still very tame when it came. I wasn't looking for a vindaloo but this was very bland considering it was supposed to be hotter than a medium. Shame really as it was a nice concept: chicken and paneer cheese. Sometime trying new dishes is a big disappointment especially when the people you'd expect to know about spicing don't. I know we all have different likes and tolerances when it comes to spicy food but there's no point asking f nothing is done. Be bold...

We went with our daughter and husband to be with family what a fantastic night food brilliant staff cant do enough for you we weren't rushed if you dont like spicy dont worry i had chops chips &salad very tasty thanks for a wonderful night to everyone

We always visit Thaal when in that part of the country. It has never disappointed when it comes to excellent food. However, on this occasion, we were a little disappointed with the service. Our visit was let down right at the very end when we asked for the bill. Our dirty plates remained on the table for nearly half an hour, and we were quite simply forgotten about. It took us this long to get somebody's attention. We did get a quick apology, but it's a shame that had to happen. We did still tip, because the food was still good, but there was no thank you for that either. Disappointing.

The falvors are almost tangible. Just love going there. They have a great early bird offer too with a good choice of dishes. The ordinary menu is vast, but something for everyone.It really is one of the best Asian restaurants I have visited to eat. Very good value for the quality of food served.

Phoned in advance to order take-away and was told 30 minutes. It took nearer 40 minutes as I had to wait for 10 minutes but it was worth the wait and the food was delicious, well cooked and kept reasonably hot in containers til I got home. Staff were welcoming and friendly and apologised for the delay. The restaurant appeared popular and all areas appeared clean and well presented. Recommended.

My husband and I called in here on a recent Sunday evening. The restaurant opened at 4pm, and we arrived at just turned 5pm, and I know it was one of the coldest days of the year and although the heaters on the wall were on and kicking out heat, it did feel quite cold in the restaurant, and on cold days, the restaurant could perhaps do well in putting the heaters on earlier, or invest in some additional heating.That though was the only negative about this restaurant. The Thaal had a very extensive menu choice, and rather than selecting my usual choice of curry, I decided.this was going to be a day to try something new. We shared the Thaal non-vegetarian starter (chicken, lamb chops, fish, and king prawns), and we went for a jug of mango lassi..... all of which was delicious. For the main meal, my husband went for the Handi mix special biriyani (his usual.... coward), with a thaal special naan (potatoes, chicken and onions). I went for the shajani murgh curry with plain rice and a garlic naan. Absolutely delicious. The waiters were attentive without being intrusive, and regularly asked if everything was alright with the food. Overall it was a very nice meal, and would have definitely got 5 stars from me, if the premises had been at a comfortable temperature, but it was just too chilly.

Visited first with my local cycling club as a party of 34. Yes we did have to pre order the food but the service was excellent as was the food. It was so good that my second visit was a week later with a couple of friends. Again high quality food, excellent service. Can't fault it. Really enjoyed it and now looking to go again.

A number of different dishes available which made for a change from the norm. Mixed starter was very good and a mix of mains and side orders provided a lovely mx of flavours and spices. Good service and really good coffees to follow.

Moved into the area and thought I'd give the local Indian takeaway a bash. I'm not a moaner and I've got loads this is the first bad review I've put on here but this was bad. The place was empty and damp smelling. Hope they take this on board to get their act together. Very poor

Just visited as part of a party for a friends birthday. Excellent food. The Indian cheese starter was exceptional. My desi chicken dish with lemon rice was not for the faint hearted! Plenty of garlic. Other meals looked lovely too. Service nice and nothing too much trouble Would recommend. And visit again

We visited as a party of 12, the restaurant was very busy with a couple more large groups. The service was incredible, the waiters are constantly checking things are ok and keeping the drinks flowing. The menu was varied and the food was excellent, I would definitely go back and highly recommend.

My fiancee and I visit here quite often as unlike some other local Indian restaurants we don't get Delhi belly the next day from here. We visited last Saturday with another ten members of our family and had a lovely meal. The service was a little slower than usually as it was quite busy and there were a lot of us but the food was very nice. Some of the chef's specials are a little too expensive compared to the standard dishes but it is always cooked beautifully. My only complaint would be that the bill took far too long to arrive.

As is now our tradition we booked a table at Thaal, we are regulars and love their food and the service is usually exemplary. This NYE however was so disappointing - we arrived early for our 1900 booking expecting to get a drink in the bar, but were rushed through to a table, it was heaving with some very large, noisy parties. We were rushed through our booking, drinks went missing, food order was incorrect and we were never even offered an opportunity to order dessert but were asked to vacate and have a coffee in the bar area - we agreed, but when we went through there was standing room only due to what seemed like serious overbooking issues and trying to continue a take away service, it was impossible to continue our meal - so we paid and left. In all we were rushed through in 80 minutes and what should have been very enjoyable experience was a most uncomfortable and unenjoyable experience , the staff seemed to be under immense pressure - all very disappointing and we won't be visiting again on NYE!

Great service, fantastic food and a fabulous price as we went on a Wednesday when they do 3 courses for £9.95 (Sunday - Wednesday offer)The choice is excellent and there is something for everyone.Can't wait to go again

High quality, freshly prepared food, attentive staff in a modern but stylish restaurant. The Thaal consistently delivers a great dining experience.

It has plenty of car parking and is nice inside. The service if great and cannot be faulted. We have been three times because it is local. The food could be tastier especially considering that it isn't that cheap. Been to many better Indians, unlikley to return.

Our 'local' and we're so lucky to have it nearby. As good for a celebration as for a takeaway, good service and very good value.

I went here on a Friday night with a friend. Unless you're a local it's a place you have to drive to. Decorated very nicely and the staff were very attentive. I had fish for starters and main and both dishes were very tasty and the vegetables tasted really fresh.For a Friday night I thought it would be a lot busier seeing as the food is so nice...so lacked a little atmosphere... Shame really as I think it's as good as argrah or similar chain.Two starters and two mains, two large red wines and two Irish coffees for £56. I'll definitely be back but I'll get someone else to do the driving next time!

I called to the thaal with another two couples we are all friends and go out once a month. We decided to try the thaal at Brotherton. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was cooked beautiful and it was really good. And it didn't break the bank account either. Would definitely go back again for food.

Discovered using google. Restaurant was clean and tidy. Staff were very helpful, friendly and attentive. Seated and order taken very quickly. Menu was extensive and food was very nicely presented and tasted excellent. Would definitely go again when back in the area.

This is the fourth visit to Thaal and again we had great meals . The Manager and staff are very friendly and the food is fantastic. I have read a few reviews saying " food is bland " take no notice they do not know good Indian food .

Visited from Cambridgeshire as was staying with my daughter who lives in Aberford.The chicken Ceylon was the nicest I've ever had and I liked the Mushroom Pilau Rice as it wasn't sloppy; not to mention the Bombay Aloo.Was greeted by a very presentable Manager, service was outstanding and received a free liqueur before leaving too.I'd highly recommend this restaurant and am looking forward to going again on my next visit to Yorkshire.

Went for our first visit to Thaal tonight, just up road and not disappointed.Lovely relaxing atmosphere, great food, really good service and excellent value for money.Definitely going to return. A really good evening in a nice setting. Thoroughly recommend for anyone looking for an upmarket curry experience.

Service and food were absolutely great. Food cooked fresh and piping hot when arrived, glasses never empty if you don't want and the atmosphere was wonderful. Had an over eager waiter but as he was a new one I'm not bothered, he has to learn, but my concerns were greatly received and I'm confident this young man will be steered the right way.

I visited the Thaal last week with my family for my birthday. I have to say the staff were amazing and the food was delicious. It is the best curry i have ever had. The service was excellent. Myself and my family were given a free drink each and i was also given a free bottle of wine. I was not expecting anything for free. It was such a lovely gesture. Thank you Thaal for making my birthday special. I look forward to visiting again.

I come to the Thaal quite a lot, whether it be just me and my boyfriend or as a family of 15 people! Every visit has been faultless, the food is amazing and the service is outstanding. Every member of staff is so friendly and will go above and beyond for each individual customer. I honestly do not have a bad word to say about this restaurant and will continue to visit at every opportunity!

Once again we have visited Thaal, and as always great food and atmosphere. One of the best Indian restaurants around, the venison is definitely my favourite. 5*, keep up the good work people....

Lovely meal, the room was about half full which was nice at four on a Sunday, lots of families doing the same as us - good value, well made family meal. The three course deal is the one to go for, you basically get a free ice cream and sundry item for the restriction to ten or so main courses. In fairness this is more than enough choice. I'm sure we will be back

Varied and unusual menu. Excellent service. Great Popadoms and pickle tray. Super mixed kebab starter (onion bhaji, seekh & shami). Followed by brilliant duck cooked with ginger, mint and onion flamed with zambuca, plus a Peshawari Baan. Also excellent vegetarian options. Spacious layout, excellent bar area

We have recently become regulars to the Thaal. Obviously the main reason is the food. Favourites are: Paneer Tikka; Tada Jall Machli; Lamb Zafrani; Chicken Bengal (to name a few). It's always fresh & tasty! The other highlight is the staff: they are ALL friendly and have a good knowledge of the food. Service is excellent: even when we turn up without a booking, they'll always find a space for us and ensure we are never left without a drink etc. Well done to Ali & all the team! Keep up the good work!

I came here a week or two agon with my Husband for a meal out - we had the 3 courses for ten pounds on a Wednesday night. The food was good - the deal was a separate menu with limited choice and smaller portion sizes - but food very tasty. The customer service was great and the cleanliness of the restaurant and toilets was very good.

The food is always very nice and the staff always friendly.I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes good food and a great welcome.

Been here many times with friends and family. Never lets us down with either the service or the quality food. Easily the best curry restaurant in the area.

Excellent Indian meal. Warm friendly staff and very reasonably priced. Defiantly be back soon. The Madras was really nice.

The overall time at Thaal was very good, food was great, service was excellent, looked after us very well made us feel welcome. Will be making this a regular visit I think!

Called at the Thaal to get my fix the food was up to the usual high standard.Starters tandoori chicken breast was lovely and moist the chot Poti was very good too.Mains chicken Bengal with extra green chilli for me and murgh katar bahar, both very tasty. Had onion & garlic rice and a garlic nan bread too.The food here is as good as it gets with friendly staff too!!

Ive been coming to this place for years and to be honest the food is as always excellent,the staff are very professional and polite and the restaurant is superbly clean.

Ate here on several occasions and has never disappointed. The food is top class with great variety on the menu and the hospitality is second to none, always welcomed with smiles from genuinely very nice people.I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone can't speak highly enough of it and the people who work there

I simply can NOT fault The Thaal and Mr Ali and his team!We've been dining here for 5yrs now and even though we've moved nearly 10 miles away we still make the journey (used to live 3 miles away). We visit a few times a month, special occasions, parties, business meals and even had Christmas Day there last year. I'd also like to point out that we're both Slimming World members and eat out here a lot as it's easy do stay on plan and within Syns as the dishes aren't all swimming in ghee. Don't forget to try out their sister restaurant in Sherburn-in-Elmet (Elmet Kitchen) that only opened on 25th April - family staffs faces, same quality of food and lovely decor.

Food is authentic, staff are great. I have been going here years and food is always consistently good. Allow a few extra minutes for collection of takeaway, as the guys don't make your bread etc until you are there

Great food, wonderful staff who interested in the food and their customers, long term chef who creates wonderful dishes.

The 3 course meal for £9.95 option is very hit and miss. My party arrived over the bank holiday and given the main menu to look at whilst ordering drinks, when we asked if we could look at the offer menu, we seemed to be huffed at and the waiter walked away. Returning 5 minutes later advising we could have it, even though there is no information advising this isn't an option on bank holidays and the sign outside still present.In fact a few people left because of it. I found that on this visit the staff were quite rude and seem to be in a rush which is unfortunate as other occasions our experience has been pleasant.

Partner and I visited the other Friday. Lovely atmosphere and plenty to choose from off the menu. Food was really nice and reasonable priced, although there was a little wait between courses as it was really busy, but we didn't mind as the waiters were near by to ask for another drink in between courses. We'll be back again soon.

this weekend was a full birthday bash on restaurants and sunday was at thaal as a regular we have our details registered with them and on my birthday receive a £10 off voucher and birthday card so to say the food is awesome is a understatement and staff are right up there with customer service ??? the place warm and very clean and good bar service to boot well recommended !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My niece came home from Hong Kong on Friday and wanted the family to meet at the Thaal for a meal. We were not disappointed. The food was beautifully presented and excellently cooked. We were a party of 10 and each and every one of us delighted with the meal. Excellent customer service, attentive but not intrustive and excellent value for money.Not to be missed will be visting again soon.
