Nafees Bakers & Sweets Lilycroft Bradford

You'll smell the fresh naan before you even reach the door on Lilycroft Road. This proper South Asian bakery has been feeding families in BD9 for years, and there's always a steady stream of locals popping in for their daily bread run. The glass counter displays an impressive spread of mithai - from sticky gulab jamun to delicate barfi - while the back ovens work overtime producing fluffy naan and crispy samosas. What sets Nafees apart is the quality you'd expect from your mate's mum's kitchen, but available seven days a week. The prices are dead reasonable too - you can easily feed a family without breaking a tenner. That Friday afternoon break (probably for prayers) shows this is a place that respects its community roots while serving everyone who walks through the door.
