Rajshahi

Tucked into the heart of Idle, Rajshahi has been feeding north Bradford since it was established in 1995, and three decades on it still pulls a loyal crowd of regulars who come back for the classics done properly. Rated 4.6/5 from more than 450 Google reviews, this homely Indian restaurant and takeaway has built its name on freshly cooked curries, fragrant rice and warm, family-friendly service that quickly makes newcomers feel like locals.

Whether you settle in for a sit-down meal or grab a takeaway to enjoy at home, it remains one of the area's most dependable spots for a proper curry night out.
