Review on Nawaab

It was just a matter of time before the renowned Nawaab group of Indian restaurants found its way to Leeds. This branch has recently been updated with a contemporary décor in a smart palette of blue and purple with neon lighting and Bollywood music playing softly in the background.

The vast menu runs to some 200 dishes, covering a host of 'popular curries' (bhunas, dhansaks, jalfrezis), assorted tandooris, baltis and a big selection of chef's specialities - including chicken haandi cooked and served in a special wide-bellied pot, slow-cooked lamb nihari and a decent selection of vegetables. The flagship original branch is in Bradford and there are outlets in Huddersfield and Spain!
