from the outside this place looks like the home of a blackpool squatter - the tacky neon sign clashing with the run-down properties alongside. the restaurant is in an area that looks a little "left behind" in it's location outside the shiny new city centre and parking here can be difficult at certain times.

that said, the welcome was warm and the service very good for a curryhouse - much to my surprise. the menu had my mouth watering and the kitchen lived up to expectations. i had been concerned: the walls are lined with glowing local newspaper reviews - but most were so dated i started to worry that the establishment was living off it's past glories. but the popadums were crisp and tasty, which i always believe to be a good sign of attention to detail. i thoroughly enjoyed my curry aswell and would certainly suggest this to be one of the best indian restaurant in leeds. that said, the interior decor is almost as worn as that outside, the marketing needs an overhaul and there is a hit-and-miss element to what you'll get, but all-in-all a positive experience.
