Raja's Tandoor

Located in an Asian neighbourhood, a short ride from the city centre in Leeds, Raja's Tandoor has been ruling the Indian restaurant scene for the last couple of decades. An unassuming façade, authentic Indian cuisine and sincerely warm service, have earned this restaurant its rightful spot as one of the top 10 Indian restaurants in the UK, according to The Times 2007 and 2008. The ambience is simple, warm and comfortable, unlike the loud Asian interiors that are part of so many new restaurants.

The curries at Raja's are often unequalled in authenticity, and with more than twenty years in the food business, it isn't that surprising. Begin with the prawn or fish pakoras and alu tikkis, followed by the classic tandoori chicken and lamb biriyani. If you'd like to deviate from the regulars, try dahi chicken which is chicken cooked with creamy yoghurt, malai kofta and onion kulchas. There are drinks on the menu as well - go for lassi, an Indian favourite, if you're feeling adventurous. Sumptuous meals, impeccable service and great value, set Raja's Tandoor apart from the pack.
