4 of us went to 3 Singhs last night. Food was excellent and no one left a morsel save for a roti we couldn't manage. I troffed the shamee kebab starter which was very nice but I prefer the softer pate-like ones they do at the Punjab. However the Jalfrezi Lamb was out of this world. Portion of pilau, a roti and a couple of pints of 1664 to help it down and I left feeling like I'd eaten a pillow. Looked like it too! Definitely going back soon.

Anams on Great Horton Road

I headed to Zouk on Leeds Road last week - loved the chargrilled vegetable tikka, ooh yes. I'm vegetarian, but presumably the chargrilled meat is a good one for the meat eating folk.

Punjab was nothing short of excellent last night. Certainly one of the very best curry's have had in a long time. Had the chicken tikka masala (Indian Style) which is like a balti, as opposed to the British version that they also do, which is more like a korma.

Bradford has won the Curry Capital of Britain!

Deservedly so, IMHO, but The restaurants representing Bradford in the competition were "Shimla Spice in Keighley, Aagrah Shipley, Prashad in Horton Grange Road, Bradford, and Kipling's Restaurant in Greengates."

Haven't been to any of those recently, so I think we should send scouts to sample and report.

Well done to all!

I've been to the Kiplings in Sowerby Bridge and it's very good. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu.

There is a Kiplings in Ilkley, on the station, which is good but not brilliant. Hardly a typical Bradford curry experience though.

Been to the first three in the list in the past 6 months or so. They're all decent enough in their own way, but are quite different. The first one is a large ish restaurant with a large menu, no license but cutlery and fancy decor. It's fair enough and has a branch in Shipley now too, prob to compete with the Aagrah. Aagrah Shipley is a bigger place, lacks a bit in the way of friendly service. Prashad is different entirely, Indian and Veggie, much smaller, friendlier.

One worth a visit is Shama in Bingley. Quality food, unpretentious, friendly service, reasonable prices.

Went to Paprika in Clayton Heights the other week, still very new and building custom. The "specials" are slightly different to your average restaurant, but pretty good none the less. Main course had a little too much ginger in it, even for me. Curries appear to be of the dryer type and Bangladesh style.

Worth a visit, and I'll be going again to find a favorite on the menu.
