Kushi Tandoori

Lovely fresh food, piping hot on delivery. Helpful staff. Highly recommend �

Desperately scouting Harrogate for a new regular Indian for takeaway, and saw a lot of people recommend here on a Facebook page, so gave it a try. Ordering process was easy on their website, lots to choose from! We opted for collect as it's only a 10 minute walk away from us. We ordered a mixed platter for 2, chicken tikka, chicken tikka pathia, boiled rice, pilau rice, and a garlic naan. £33.55 - not too bad! Food wasn't as hot as I thought it would be upon arrival, but that could be because my partner walked to pick it up. The starter: it was okay. The lamb tikka was lush, the chicken tikka was a bit dry, the seekh was very dry, the pakora didn't seem cooked properly as the batter was soft and almost mushy on the inside. The samosa was okay and so was my partners bhaji. (Forgot to take pics as I was starving) The mains: my tikka for some reason had a lemon wedge, cucumber and tomato on top which threw me but was fine, I just picked them out. What it doesn't say on their website is there's some onion in the sauce which I didn't like as the texture of onion freaks me out, especially as it was in long slivers. Thankfully, there wasn't much onion in it, I just wish I knew from the product description online. The chicken was marinated in tikka though which added a nice flavour to the chicken! It did have a slight bit of spice too which was nice. There was plenty chicken, too! My partner enjoyed his pathia, althought it nearly blew his head off. Very spicy, but he was able to eat it! He did say he would get something else next time tho. Sides and sundries: the salads came in a little bag. The naan came in a bag. We got free poppadoms. The naan had pieces of garlic poked into the naan dough - bit weird, but my partner liked it. I just didn't find it as garlic-y as places that use a garlic paste-like coating. The pilau rice was a bit of a let down. Says on the website "rice dishes are cooked with herbs and spices and seasoned". Wrong. Was just white rice with some dyed pieces. Not proper pilau. Nowhere we've ordered from apart from Aakash in Knaresborough has proper pilau rice and it's really frustrating. I personally had higher expectations for this place given the reviews, but it has been the best Indian we've tried so far. We both would eat from here again, but maybe not get starters.

Best place in harrogate to eat burnt food.. you can feel the taste of burn while eating stone hard meat.

I recently returned to Harrogate after 18 years living away and wanted to order an Indian takeaway. My brother told me that our family had collectively been ordering from here since i was a kid and that it was consistently good food. I ordered a king prawn tikka masala, keema rice and cheese and onion naan, it's honestly one of the best Indian meals that I've had in many years. None of it was reheated ( you can always tell with seafood ) the naan was unbelievably tasty and the rice was beautiful. I rarely comment on online platforms but i happily made an exception here, this is a company that i highly recommend. A decade is a unit of time rarely attributed to a businesses service and this takeaway has several decades of good service under its belt, got to be good.

Post-Covid edit - now ordering online and taking credit card payment...... Excelllent Asian / "Indian" food, made to order. Take out and cash only. I look forward to dinner from Kushi on my infrequent trips to Harrogate. They are friendly, un-assuming, good people and open later than most quality food places locally (10pm). Ordering by phone for collection or even delivery are possible. Customization also possible; new menu started in September I believe. GO THERE and support an excellent local business. ATM just along the road.

Delicious daal. Nice staff. If you are from Pakistan, don't try there bridyani.
