Amazingly we did not go to the Aagrah in Shipley. Some little time ago Hannah and Ben had been to Akbar's - an Indian Restaurant in Leeds Road Bradford, and had been very impressed with the food and service. They decided it would be a nice Father's Day Present for me, hence our visit there last night!
A table set with a delicious selection of Indian Food
Our table was the one in the foreground
The starters are almost a meal in themselves, so we shared two different starters between the four of us. - Onion & Potato Bhaji consisting of Onions & potatoes deep fried in a spicy Indian batter and served in a side salad, and Mushroom Pakora consisting of Mushrooms coated with a spicy batter and deep fried, served with fresh salad.
I followed this up with Chicken Tikka Masala - Chicken breast marinated in a yoghurt, herbs and spices, cooked over a charcoal grill and then finally pot roasted with ginger, garlic, onions, tomatoes, with a sprinkling of coriander, whilst Dot chose Vegetable Makhani - A mild creamy vegetable dish with nuts, in a rich sauce.
A Family Size Nan Bread was brought to us (almost the size of a car tyre!) and lemon pilau rice as well.
I have to say that they gave the Aagrah a run for the money.
It's going to be a problem in the future if we decide to go for an Indian Meal where to go to!!!
