Hoho, the irony, first post and it’s not even in Leeds! Alright you can stop laughing now.

Personally, I think us Leeds folks should give Bradford a chance, and sample it’s many delights. Ok, so there may be a higher density of lunatics wandering the streets shouting, but that neither here nor there. If you can look beyond such things, then you can enjoy an excellent curry for cheap at Karachi. On top of a wind swept hill near the ice rink, the decor is so crappy, you know they must put effort into the food, or at least hope so.

We took a seat by a window with a view over a concrete yard, just by the framed newspaper clipping of Rick Stein (he visited on a programme). The waiter called over “I’ll be over in a minute lads”. The fact that I’m not a lad can be over looked, I think. These mistakes can happen. Anyway, he brought over a complementary jug of tap water, and realising his previous error, apologised. The menu is slightly confusing maybe, but more than makes up for it by being laminated. I ordered chicken rogan josh, whilst my dining partner went for chicken karachi. Both were about six pounds, and arrived very quickly with a basket of six chappatis between us. The karachi came sizzling in one of those cast iron thingies, and my rogan josh arrived topped with fresh coriander and pepper. The curries were lovely, with decent chunks of chicken just generally tasted like a good curry should. The chappatis (that came free, by the way) were really nice and fresh, not at all crusty and stale like you can get. I asked if they did puddings, and they don’t, but they do do indian sweets if you fancy something to finish of the meal. I also gather you can bring your own booze if you want to.

Over all, this place is great. And for six quid each for a good feed up with very good curry, you really can’t complain.
