Best Indian Restaurants In Leeds

Tucked away in the historic Queens Hotel, Cinnamon Kitchen more than stakes a claim for the top spot in the city. The brainchild of renowned Executive Chef Vivek Singh, it's been elegantly designed to channel the grand first-class waiting room of a 19th-century Indian railway station.

The menu is just as eye-catching. As well as classic curries and biriyanis, there's more show-stopping mains, from masala grilled salmon and tandoori Scottish venison rump to lamb rogan josh shepherd's pie and hakka paneer stir-fry.

Tharavadu boasts seafood recipes from Kerala that are the envy of every Indian restaurant near Leeds train station. For a more traditional dish, tuck into a Marari prawn masala, but if you're feeling spicy, get on board with the meen koottan.

If you're after a curry house in Leeds city centre, then Mowgli is one to consider. Alongside prawn, Goan fish and buttermilk chicken curries, expect everything from street meats to puri bread for dunking across the beaut space.

Sheesh Mahal is widely adored by locals as you're always guaranteed a warm welcome on arrival. Grab a table and a chicken boti sizzler with some pals, embrace a friendly atmosphere, then relax in the family-run establishment.

You may know this place as the best Indian takeaway in Leeds, but it's hard to resist grabbing a table inside the cool, laid-back restaurant. If you fancy wolfing down small plates like bhaji butties and bundo chaat, give Bundobust a go.

Good luck finding a more colourful vegetarian thali than Indian Tiffin Room. Whether you love sharing small plates, grazing on street food or tucking into Chinese fusion flavours, this is one of the best Indian restaurants in Leeds city centre.
