The best restaurants serving Indian food in Batley East Kirklees Yorkshire and The Humber

Great food, great service. Lighting could be a tiny bit brighter!

My partner and I dined at Armaan for the first time last week following regularly reading great reviews on local Facebook pages. The reviews were very accurate indeed! We arrived around 6.30pm and the restaurant was very quiet - I expect it gets busier as the evening goes on. The waiter was very friendly and courteous and the restaurant had a very comfortable and spacious feel to it. To start, we ordered paneer pakora to share which was very generous and oozing with flavour. For the main, I ordered the chicken tikka masala and was pleased to find that it could be customised to my taste - mild to moderate. My partner ordered the Karahi fish and also praised the infusion of spices. The main meals came with a sundry side and between us we opted for the pilau rice and naan - both great portion sizes for sharing. All the food was freshly cooked, not greasy and great value for money. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and independent restaurant experience with great prices.

0/10 overall. No greeting on entering by the solo lady. The lady was very poor in communication. She mumbles and talks at a low volume and fast rate, eating her words, overall barely comprehensible & very poor to comprehend. I would have to repeat myself often in order. At the end no thank you, or farewell or smile. Just walked off after paying! No decency. No manners. No respect. Very Fawlty Towers scene with a bad Manuel. The main meal started cameramen pipping to hot to eat for many minutes seeing the food is swimming in to much oil with poor amount mainly onions salad. I was not impressed. To much oil. She, esh kebab more like from supermarket not hands made in the kitchen. The chicken tikka was dry. The onion bhaji was too overcooked. Chicken pakora had thick rhino skin. Mediocre I had chicken ginger curry that had a nice texture and taste, but overbearing too much oil in the dish ruined it. The 2 roti that came with the dish, as per the menu states clearly, were cold. Halfway through the starter, she brought the main dish, only for me to tell her, of course, I'm not ready! She didn't see I was still, for all the world to see, I was still eating the starter! Crazy 3x, I told her I was not ready for the main meal. She looked very confused! Sheesh, I had to change the dirty plate & the serving spoon twice. She would place on the table the dirty menu I placed after ordering! It was nice for her to have cold water in a large Spanish-style large bottle. Only nice thing. Seating was nice. Clean eat-in and toilet with good hands and air-dryeFancy-cooked buckled water at the back wall. Very pretty. Rubbish Indian singing music in the background. After about 15 minutes finishing the main meal I went to the counter to pay. I was directed by her to the front part of the takeaway counter to pay by credit card. Now I perused the order paper she was calculating the total and saw a charge for the 2 roti. On enquiring this and stating as in the menu, it stated clearly these accompany the " traditional curry dishes", she then incredulously purports to have told me," I told you no roti with any curry dishes". I had to correct her that I agreed about the" main curry dishes". She told me again the same and added a mistake on the menu. She was clearly from her country. She was not happy & she could see she could not fool me with her clear falsehood claims. And said, id "ok, ok" and I paid the correct amount on the card. Then she suddenly went to the kitchen without giving me a receipt of the credit card or thank you or farewell. I thought she may have dashed back to the kitchen for some reason. Maybe she leave her copy receipt somewhere and come back. I patiently awaited. She never never back. I overheard him backbiting me in the kitchen to get work colleagues though! A man came from the back kitchen a coldly she's is all is ok. I said yes, I was, but I was not sure if anything else as the lady just went back. He says yes. Charming! No decency to greet on entering or thank you or farewell or thank for the custom to dine there from the last with attitude at the end. No manners. No respect. Very poor hospitality as a paying guest first time. From one's objective first impression and last why anyone in their mind would want to go back to such a place? For others, I see very good reviews who, most if not all, appear to be locals and in a group. But a negative attitude to an out-of-area and single person and try to hoodwink me to overcharge contrary to clear wording on the menu to be this in beech of the agreed contract is terrible. Oasis is 7* compared to this place in a way and does not cheat you to overcharge you with lies 100% I do not recommend this place. ZERO stars Zero service To oily food. Not professional at all.
