Best Asian Food Restaurants in Kirkhamgate

"Is Mill Hill home to the best Indian food in West Yorkshire?. Bradfordians may take issue with that claim but between the Gujarati snacks at Bundobust(see our Manchester guide) and the Keralan cooking at Tharavadu, this short Leeds street boasts a remarkable density of next-level South Asian food. From ethereally light, crisp stuffed dosas to fragrant fish curries, Tharavadu’s dishes are vivid, elegantly spiced and deliver serious depth of flavour."

"The Malayalam word ‘tharavadu’ roughly translates as keeping traditions alive – and that’s certainly the ethos of this charming Keralan restaurant, which you’ll find just across the road from Leeds train station. They cover a wide variety of southern Indian dishes, among which you’ll find some unusual treats. Time Out tip: Look out for crab cooked in coconut sauce, excellent fried lentil doughnuts and toffee-filled steamed rice cake."

"When to go: When you want to change a carnivores opinion of vegetarian cooking. What to have: Gujlawa. With two cookbooks, two AA Rosettes, a Bib Gourmand, popular Vegetarian cookery classes, their own Garam Masala blend on sale, and a dedication to serving their local Bradford community, this could be one of the most hard-working families in the business."

"Prashad is a stylish and unique restaurant offering southern Indian and Gujarati vegetarian food. Prashad boasts that they are the only two star AA Indian restaurant in Yorkshire and were runners up in Gordon Ramsay’s best restaurant in 2010. The vegetarian food is tasty enough to make the biggest meat-eaters mouth water."

"If you’re wanting a restaurant in Leeds that offers a serious slice of theatre with your meal, then Teppanyaki will steal the show. These guys whip up traditional Japanese cuisine before your very eyes, because each table comes equipped with its own ‘teppan’ hotplate. Choose from a sumptuous selection of grilled goodies, like sticky duck teriyaki, king prawn and scallops in Tokyo butter, or a scene-stealing fillet steak with lobster tail, then watch your meal be sliced, sizzled and spun straight onto your plate."

"Teppanyaki combines theatre with Japanese food to create a truly unique Leeds restaurant. Sit round the hot plate, where your chef will juggle, joke and use fire to dazzle you, while you feast on a selection of sushi, seafood and fresh meat plates."

"This is a slightly different twist on bottomless brunch, and it’s one of the best that Leeds has to offer. Bar Soba serves Pan-Asian street food, and the bottomless brunch will have you choosing from dishes such as a katsu curry or a pad thai, which certainly makes a change from the usual bottomless brunch offerings you’ll find!. Bar Soba offers two options: Option 1 is £25pp and allows you to choose from prosecco or bottles of Tsingtao or Sol, while option two also lets you choose from a number of Bar Soba’s cocktails for the slightly higher price of £30pp."

"With a quirky menu serving up everything from katsu curries and pad Thai salads to Korean popcorn chicken and cheeseburger spring rolls, Bar Soba is a top choice for dining out in Leeds. And when you're done?. There's a cracking cocktail list of classics and signature mixes too."

"Blue Sakura is an Asian-inspired restaurant that offers a wonderful selection of sumptuous hot and cold traditional Japanese cuisines that would surely tempt your palate and make you salivate for more. Specialising in sushi and Asian-styled grill, they have an all you can eat menu where you can find different appetising meals that you can enjoy to your full satisfaction. They have soup, salad, nigiri, sashimi, gunkan, maki roll, temaki, urumaki, tempura, katsu and takoyaki."

"Another blossom tree-filled gem, this Japanese eatery tucked away inside Merrion Centre is picture perfect and utterly scrumptious. But it has a curveball up its sleeve – it’s the only all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant in all of Leeds!. That’s right, bottomless sushi, free-flowing katsu curry, endless teriyaki skewers and as many gorgeous gyoza as you can cram in your mouth."

"Blue Sakura redefines the concept of all-you-can-eat with a system that sees dishes made to order, from hand rolls to teriyaki, ordered in 'rounds' from the tablet on their tables. There's sushi, soup, tempura, grilled dishes, Teppanyaki dishes and Korean food - and all of it is absolutely mouthwatering."

"Aagrah has got its formula down to a tee: the Shipley-based chain now has locations across the North. Its roots lie in the late ’70s, when the family-run restaurant served their curries and other dishes to a public still suspicious of South Asian cuisine. Of course, those attitudes are long done, and Aagrah is a perennial favourite among Yorkshire diners."

"Authentic award winning Kashmiri cuisine with a modern twist. First class hospitality in comfortable surroundings, our team of chefs continually aim to provide healthy nutritious…"

"Wild caught haddock, cooked in a secret recipe batter and paired with fresh, hot chips fried in beef dripping. If that doesn’t make your mouth water, nothing will. The Skyliner fish and chip shop is a firm favourite with locals."

"29/05/2021: Brought my Nanny for her first meal out after the lockdown at the grand age of 90 years!. What a wonderful experience!. The food was incredible and we were served by Ella who was an absolute delightfull young lady!"

"Here’s one of the best farms in Leeds for kids, but with a difference. Hope Pastures is all about rescuing and rehabilitating horses, ponies and donkeys. After they’ve managed to do that, they let people come and visit the animals seven days a week, learning all about them and how tp look after them as you go."
