I recently visited the restaurant after years of patronage. I've moved out of the area so it was treat when visiting Leeds again. As usual, the service was good and the atmosphere lively. I was disappointed by the quality of the food, which seems to have declined since my last visit.
I dined there immediately after lockdown and the food was brilliant so I'm not sure what has changed. Still a decent place to dine but I'd like to see a return to the better quality food I've been used to. Let's hope it gets better again soon.

We visited Aagrah Leeds after reading the Timeout review of the place. The interior looked nice with the bar and restaurant separated out. The staff were very nice but looked pretty busy to be attentive. The letdown was food. Had high expectations for the food but it was mediocre at best and didn't do any justice for Asian cuisine at all. The food was mushy, oily and didn't hit the mark. Prices were reasonable but the overall rating is below par down to the food. Very disappointed!

Last year was Aagrah's 35th anniversary, and to celebrate they had a one-night-only event - a selection of their best dishes with prices straight from the 70s! My friend Diane insisted that a bunch of us go along that evening for some delicious bargain eats - it probably goes without saying that we were wise to book a table, as the place was packed to the rafters!
There's no two ways about it: Aagrah's is gorgeous. It looks like the palatial backdrop of a high-budget Bollywood film, the kind of location where the daring hero finally wins over the blushing beauty who's spent

Considering it was a Friday night, and but a few hours before visiting the booking was made, Aagrah really came through for my friends and I. It was a birthday evening out, and in spite of eating my bodyweight in Chinese food not 4 hours earlier with the birthday girl, the plan had been to eat curry and so curry it was. I wasn't in the least bit hungry for this, but the olfactory senses kicked in as I entered, and I prepared my stomach for round two. We could do this, we were ready to take it on, we were pumped for another round of face stuffing. (We weren't. But that was the mental preparation

Arrhg is right. What a disappointment great looking space. Nice service-maybe left us hanging with the pushed aside dishes too long-but food fell extremely short of the expectations of two hungry sisters. Nan was chewy as if it had been microwaved. The chicken in the curry and tika dishes was overcooked and tough. No distinction between the two flavors. Spinach was over salted.

I almost struggle to know where to begin in recommending Aagrah. Over the last 3-4 years I must have eaten here at least 25 times or more, and never once has it been anything less than perfect.
What sets Aagrah apart is the sheer depth of flavour in their food, which manages to perfectly balance the heat of the spices with the underlying flavours in the dish. I have tried most things on the menu now, and each dish adheres to this principal. Nothing ever arrives drowning in oil and the meat and vegetables used are always tender and fresh.
It's also excellent value for money and the service

Rather than the sort of place you go to for a pre-going-out meal, Aagrah is the kind of restaurant that offers you such a brilliant dining experience, that you'll probably find it IS you evening out, rather than just a preliminary eating venue before you hit The Wardrobe, or another swanky bar in the area. Right next to the BBC Leeds building, Aagrah is a rather impressively large restaurant, with a modern, tasteful interior. They have managed to fuse indian cuisie with a posher dining experience.

I think this might be one of the "big night out" restaurants in Leeds. I'm not a local, and have been there a few times on business trips, each time it was bustling in the evenings with most done up in their gladrags. Still, they found a table for one pretty quickly, and there's somewhere comfy to have a beer while you wait. Free WiFi from "wardrobe" might not be intentional, but was handy.
The food is on the whole very good, although I had one dish which was memorably oversalted. I'm putting this down to a moment of distraction by the chef, as everything else

The absolute bee's knees of curry houses in Leeds.
Beautiful building, with glass outside walls, and very sparkly decorations.
The service is impeccable from the moment you enter, and they're always helpful with carrying drinks to the table.
Food couldn't be improved on. The choice is immense, but whatever you order will be perfect.

This handy Indian restaurant just below the West Yorkshire Playhouse and opposite the Wardrobe is a great place for late night post-theatre curry. Inside the décor is simple and classy (dark wood and water with candles), and the service quick and pleasant.
The food is proper good, and comes in wonderfully large portions. Try the Lamb Tikka Bhuna for a real treat, and get some sag aloo to accompany. The red dipping sauce for the poppadoms is also worth trying, but be warned, it's pretty fiery.
This is more than your bog standard curry place, it's a proper restaurant experience,

Amazing food, with possibly the biggest menu that I've ever seen! The restaurant has a really vibrant atmosphere and is always really lively!
The staff are really helpful and will always make recommendations if you're not sure what to go for. And as the portions are really quite big, they will put the rest in a doggy bag for you to take home.
The decor is really stylish and the food never disappoints.

I came here for my cousin's birthday back in March this year. It was nice and big. The service was immaculate. Each of us ordered a main with some starters to share. The portions were more than enough as we were unable to finish it. We even took the rest home in a doggy bag.
Overall, the waiters were friendly even cracking a few jokes here and there, the curries were delicious too.
