The Dhaka

In Carlisle, The Dhaka brings the bold, aromatic flavours of Bangladesh to the table with real confidence. This isn't just another curry house — it’s a place that understands the depth of its heritage, from slow-cooked biryanis to the smoky char of a tandoor. Locals in Carlisle have come to rely on it for those evenings when only properly spiced, deeply savoury food will do.

The biryani here is the star: fragrant, layered, and packed with tender meat or vegetables, each grain of rice carrying the scent of saffron and spice. Their tandoori dishes, meanwhile, arrive with that perfect balance of heat and smoke, the yoghurt marinades having worked their magic overnight. Whether you’re after a classic chicken tikka masala or something more adventurous, the kitchen takes its time. Order online for delivery or collection, and let the spices do the talking.
