Village Indian Restaurant and Takeaway

Village Indian Restaurant and Takeaway on Denholme Gate Road serves the Northowram community from a site close to the Hipperholme border. Northowram is a small village on the high ridge east of Halifax, above Shibden Park — the historic estate associated with Anne Lister, whose story was dramatised in the BBC series Gentleman Jack. The Village Indian has long been one of the few dining options within the village itself, with a menu covering the standard subcontinental range — balti, biryani, karahi — alongside grills and vegetarian options. The combination of restaurant and takeaway means it can accommodate both sit-down meals and home delivery for the surrounding community. A rural-fringe setting, where the nearest alternatives are a car journey away, makes this kind of dual-function Indian a genuinely useful local institution for the Northowram ridge.
