Unreal curry house. Visited with friends yesterday and had an excellent experience.
We had chicken pakoras and onion bhaji for starters with the dressing and salad on the side.
Mains were chicken Karachi and meatballs.
garlic naan was so fresh with chapatis.
I cannot recommend this place enough.
Service is high with staff being friendly and engaging.

Old school Bradford curry house. One of the originals and definitely the best I've ever been to......and I've been to many.
The Chicken Karahi knocks it out of the park.
Friendly staff, Fast service, no frills and simply delicious.

Visited Friday afternoon with my brother I had meat and spinach Karahi with mixed starters Steve had meat Bhuna with mince both served with chapati I-Would have liked a bit more tomato and onion with the yogurt. Other than that it was an excellent meal very tasty and well presented by an organised team. Spacious and clean not crowded at this time, all in the price of £28 was very acceptable I would recommend this jewel of Bradford.

We had lamb and prawn Biriyani. Which was very good. Plenty of prawns and meat, well spiced. The sauce comes separate to the Biriyani and there’s plenty of it. Great taste and we enjoyed it.

Brilliant place, been going for absolutely years. Go every Wednesday with my mate Maurice. My only problem is it closes early around 9 o'clock. However I think they open at 11- 00 am. So cart really fault them. Lovely curry's. .

We used to call here after a night out! A must visit when in Bradford! 40 years later the food is better than ever and the service is great. Just one thing, those cumbersome chairs are a pain! 😁

We were in the area for a long weekend break.
This restaurant was recommended to us as it was the oldest restaurant in Bradford.
We went on a Saturday evening and immediately got a seat as it was not busy.
We were quickly seen to and ordered kebab sandwich (a steal at £1.50) battered mushrooms, chicken spinach Karahi, meat ball peas and pilau rice, we skipped naan as it was already supplied with chappatis.
It doesn’t serve booze so we had mango lassi which was nice.
Other reviews mention food coming out of order, well if you go to Wagamamas you get that there too, it didn’t affect us as we do not stand on ceremony. The food was tasty, with some heat but not too much to take away the taste.
It may have been surfing the coat tails of a Rick Stein recommendation a bit too much but I guess in a crowded market you go for any advantage you can get.
It may be in need of a touch up on the decor and some fresher menus but that added to its heap & cheerful charm, you won’t get shiny metal bowls, hot towels or flock wallpaper here.
Overall, cheap and nice food, with some dishes I hadn’t tried before.

We have been going here since the 70s and you can't beat the flavours a Karachi delivers.

One of the oldest curry shops in Bradford and still one of the best. Don't dress for dinner and don't expect to pay a fortune. Cheap and very cheerful. And very tasty. Someone has suggested that the Karachi is somehow riding on the back of Rick Stein, how totally silly is that? The Karachi was open when Rick Stein was still at school and it will still be open when he's in his luxury old folks' home. Read the reviews!

Today, as always, Karachi served their Lamb and Spinach Balti freshly prepared, and sizzling away in a Balti Dish. It was verging on perfection! From the first to last mouthful it is perfect in every respect. The seasoning was spot on, as was the amount of heat, and the balance of good quality meat to sauce was spot on too. The flavours of meat were good, and not masked by the sauce. The sauce, by the way, was irony from the spinach, and fresh tasting with coriander. The fresh coriander stalks stirred in at the end added further herby fresh bite. There is also a good tartness balanced with an underlying sweetness, and a lingering garlicness which stayed with me the rest of the day! The dish looked right, smelt right and tasted right. Like I say - virtually perfect. 3 included chapatis is all that is needed. Happy days.
