Gluten free or just plain interested in flour? This ones for you 👀 We don’t just use your run of the mill flours at Prashad. Oh no, we knead the very best the make our dishes rise to the top, but we think it’s worth the extra dough 😉 Bonus points for whoever clocks the obscene number of flour puns in there.

Pancake day; Prashad style 🥞 Obviously that means whipping up plenty of our huge Masala Dosas this evening. If you don’t know the pure joy that is cracking into a crispy dosa filled with spiced potato curry, then dipping into the lentil broth and coconut chutney… then it’s about time you find out. Happy pancake day 🧡 #Prashad #MasalaDosa #Dosa #IndianStreetFood #LeedsRestaurants

Reviews Summary

Prashad is lauded for its innovative and authentic vegetarian Indian cuisine, particularly its South Indian and Gujarati specialties. Diners rave about the flavorful dishes, beautiful presentation, and attentive service, making it a memorable dining experience. However, some reviews mention overly large portions in tasting menus and a potentially confusing compulsory service charge.

"If you can tolerate spicy food and appreciate quality Gujarati cooking, you won't be disappointed. The service is decent but the food is what makes this place special. Opt for the thali platter - you can make it vegan if required. Such as a good variety of dishes to sample."

Robin Gemmell

"This place has so many accolades for a reason, it is simply impressive. The pani puri was amazing and slightly reminded me of what you would get on the streets of Amedabad. The Kofta was amazing along with the roti! (Not to mention the ginger old fashion that’s not so Gujarati :) ) Come to this place if you love Indian food! Perhaps they will prepare something Jain for you if asked :) )"

Andrew Fulton

"What a gorgeous place. The staff were lovely and attentive, answering our questions about the food and offering recommendations. The food is just beautiful, both in taste and visually."

Best Indian Restaurant Bradford - Review Prashad Bradford Restaurant

Cooking up spectacular regional cuisine in the style of Gujarat and south Indian, eating vegetarian at Prashad in Bradford was something to behold. Standing proud as being the only 2AA Rosette Award winning Indian restaurant in Yorkshire, alarm bells immediately start ringing that there’s likely to be something special being served up at a restaurant which has had over 20 years in the making and handed down through three generations of the same family. If that simply wasn’t enough, in 2016 Prashad took home Restaurant of the Year in Welcome to Yorkshire’s White Rose Award and before that, running up second in Gordon Ramsey’s Best Restaurant.

The Best Restaurants In Leeds

Ideal for Michelin-approved Indian vegetarian food from a Leeds institution…. A family-run establishment, Prashad has been serving superbly spiced Gujarati vegetarian dishes since 1992 (in its original venue) and now in its third decade, the restaurant has never felt more vital. In a converted Drighlington pub (roughly equidistant between Bradford and Leeds), spread over two floors, you’ll find some of the finest food from the Indian subcontinent anywhere in the UK, with flavours precise yet vivacious, and portions properly generous.

A finalist in the last series of Channel 4's Ramsay's Best Restaurant, this vegetarian Indian is a venue on the up. Whilst sat in the smart lounge (opposite the main restaurant on Woodhead Road) waiting for your takeaway, you can peruse multiple framed newspaper cuttings extolling Prashad's virtues or watch looped footage of Gordon Ramsay putting Kaushy Patel and her kitchen team through their paces. Despite this recent boost to the restaurant's profile, prices remain keen.

What: Take a little trip out to Drighlington to find some of the best Gujarati food in the city - perfect for a group with some veggies or vegans, as the entire menu is vegetarian. Frankly, you can’t go wrong anywhere on Prashad’s menu, but the masala dosas are the stuff of Yorkshire legend - probably the best in Leeds alongside that at Tharavadu. If you just want a taste of everything Prashad does, the tasting menu is excellent, and surprisingly affordable too.

It is vegetarian, rather than vegan, and in a Bradford postcode (though a Leeds district!) but even so, this Michelin-recommended Indian restaurant in the unlikely suburb of Drighlington serves up top-notch food, with many dishes being naturally vegan.
