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

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.

Didn't like the meat samosa at all nor the sauce dip..The curry was ok .The Rice was over cooked and slightly soggy,I also thought the Nan Bread was under cooked enough for me..won't order again.

First time for us but third time for Sue and John and now we know why they keep going back.

We booked a table for 10 for my mums birthday we decided to go for the banquet special at £15 there was so much variety the food was delicious and the service was excellent.

Absolutely beautiful food! Always hot and super tasty! Never had a bad order from here 100% recommended

i went in expecting good thing but was horrified by my meal as it took ages to come and the stafff were rude to me and put pubes in my raw chicken the cheeky peeps ive been on the toilet for 2 weeks now with the runs from this im absolutely appauled never go hear

I've been behaving myself the last few weeks...as its my bday I though I'd treat myself and I have to say it was absolutely beautiful. thankyou so much x

Ordered 4 meals for a takeaway very much over priced The curries lacked flavours and were very blaned Will definitely not be returning

Was lucky enough to have a curry bought for me from Eastern Spice (so could be worth bearing in mind there could be a no-cost bias through out). I was perfectly happy with my curry, naan and onion bahji were a great accompaniment. If I was in the area I would gladly get a takeaway from Eastern Spice

Another beautiful meal at Sammy's last night! We’ve have been coming here for years. The staff are always friendly & the food is always fresh & delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a lovely meal or takeaway! ⭐ it’s bring your own alcohol too so you can bring your favourite bottle 🍻 The fish masala & lamb tikka are amazing!

I decided to try my first takeaway from the Raj and was super pleased. Ready on time, super fresh salad with the best kebabs I’ve tasted. It had a complementary popadom and lovely yoghurt mint sauce. The chicken bhuna was perfect as was the garlic naan accompaniment . Going back this week and taking friends for a meal in the restaurant. So looking forward to it.

AVIOD! only decent thing about this meal was the garlic rice! Vindaloo, no spice, madras, no spice, Bhuna and balti no taste! All curries were watery, no flavour! Have a feeling these might be frozen curries, all have the same consistency. Chicken was rubbery, had to be frozen! And don’t get me started on the Naan! Ordered peshwari naan, it’s was filled with what can only be described as coconut ice!!

I reviewed on JustEat on the 25/05/2024 Delivery was good. Chicken tikka jalfrezi too red, chicken jalfrezi was nice, pilau rice underwhelming. Seekh kebab was chicken and not lamb or sheep, with brown lettuce. Pizza was average. The chicken tikka and chips had brown lettuce and was sparse with the chicken. The mix starter only had 3 onion bhajis and should have 4. The shami kebab was dreadful and 1 of the samosas were burnt. Overall disappointed. Big Chef replied Thanks for the lovely detailed review Dean. I think most of the negativity you’ve pointed out comes down to personal taste or pickiness. Pilau rice can’t be underwhelming, it’s just plain rice like what were you expecting? Seekh kebab is chicken, we’ve never advertised it as being lamb or sheep 🤔 lettuce is freshly cut every day so definitely not brown but it was served with the kebab so could explain the slight colour change. You also had a whopping 40% off your meal as gratitude from us. Nevertheless, we’re sorry about your disappointment. Now to call my review was negative due to pickiness is outrageous. Firstly pilau rice is not plain rice, that we be boiled rice, I was expecting subtle ground rice spice flavour. Most people expect seekh kebabs to be lamb or sheep certainly not chicken which you don't state and you should. Your lettuce was brown as it was in the sparse chicken tikka and chips, no brown in that meal. The chicken tikka jalfrezi should not have a red sauce that's just lazy cooking, it should have red on the chicken tikka and a brown sauce with peppers. Finally you didn't mention anything about your average pizza or that I had 3 onion bhajis and not 4 or even about the burnt samosa. The way you speak or write about customers tells people a lot about what type of business you are, furthermore as of 1 November 2022 you are a 3 star hygiene rating. Saturday 10 May 2025 Delivery great. Samosas, pilau rice and chicken jalfrezi good. Chicken tikka and chips had good amount of sauce but no salad and chicken tikka was not as tasty as it used to be, it lacked the normal delicious flavour. Big Chef replied Thank you for your feedback – we’re genuinely pleased to see a slightly positive response from you! Since you’re a customer who’s hard to please, it’s brilliant to hear you enjoyed the samosas, pilau rice, and chicken jalfrezi. As for the chicken tikka, we haven’t changed our recipe, but we can definitely make it saucier for you in future if that’s how you like it. With the chicken tikka &chips, salad is only included if selected when ordering, so just be sure to tick that option next time. Thanks again for ordering with us! Firstly I am not hard to please and finally I did select the option for salad for the chicken tikka and chips, as you can see from the image, which means you forgot to add the salad meaning you are not checking the order thoroughly and are blaming me the customer. I think the way you respond to customers still needs vast improvement, you make the customer feel like they have done wrong and you are right and never wrong, which is a bad approach to take in a customer service industry.

Lovely food. Always on time. Would recommend the biryani!
