International Restaurant Bradford

You know you're onto something good when the car park's packed on a Tuesday night and there's a queue of regulars waiting patiently by the door. This Mannville Terrace stalwart has been doing the business since way before Bradford's curry scene became trendy, serving up the kind of proper subcontinental food that keeps families coming back week after week. The menu reads like a love letter to Pakistani and Indian classics - think massive portions of lamb karahi that arrive still bubbling, naan breads the size of dinner plates, and biryanis that could feed a small army. The service moves at its own pace, but nobody seems to mind when the food arrives this good and this reasonably priced. It's the sort of place where you roll up with mates, order far too much, and leave planning your next visit.
