About

Real cooking, regularly raved about.

Delhi Wala Food has become a Leeds institution for generous, full-flavoured North Indian plates. Regulars single out the lamb Rogan Josh off the bone as “probably the best dish I’ve eaten in years,” and the vegetarian jackfruit biryani gets called one of the best in the UK.

The team is known for being accommodating at the table — and for answering the occasional honest grumble with good grace. That mix is exactly why the reviews read like a conversation, not a brochure.

“The best!! The prawn starter we had was mouthwatering. Both me and the missus went ‘wow’ on our first bite! The lamb Rogan Josh off the bone. Probably the best dish I’ve eaten in years!”— 5★ Google review

Reply · drafted by FifthStarWow, thank you — that’s the best compliment a kitchen can get. The lamb Rogan Josh off the bone is a real labour of love, so we’re chuffed it landed. Hope to cook for you both again soon.

“The jackfruit biryani was beautifully cooked and packed with flavour — easily one of the best vegetarian biryanis I’ve had in the UK. The chicken biryani was equally delicious. The Shyam Savera was rich, creamy and the naan was fresh and soft.”— 5★ Google review

Reply · drafted by FifthStarThank you for such a thoughtful review — the jackfruit biryani gets a lot of love and it means a lot that it stood out. We’ll pass the naan praise to the team. So glad everything on the table delivered.
★★★★☆

“The menu is pretty intimidating at first glance. The waiter is very accommodating and helpful. My only ‘issue’ is that they place water on the table and charged for it. Very cheeky…”— 4★ Google review

Reply · drafted by FifthStarThank you for the honest words — and fair shout on the water. We’d rather you tell us than wonder, so we’ll look at how that’s presented at the table. Really glad the food and the team won you over, and we hope to have you back.
