The best restaurants serving Asian food in Bowling and Barkerend Bradford Yorkshire and The Humber

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 potatoes were raw and uncooked, rice was hard, tiny portions ( thankfully). Curry was oily and stale. Staff were bored, uninterested and unhelpful, (apart from one server, who was really helpful). The tap water was luke warm. No hand gel available. I asked to speak to the manager. They were not available. The stairs were dirty. Plastic side plates offered. It was empty on a Saturday evening, that should have been a warning. Very disappointing.
