Jodhpur

You'll find this unassuming spot on a stretch of Kirkstall Road that's become something of a foodie destination, and one taste of their food explains why locals drive across the city to eat here. The kitchen doesn't mess about with watered-down curry house fare – everything arrives with the kind of depth and complexity that makes you wonder why you ever settled for mediocre Indian food. The menu reads like a love letter to proper regional Indian cooking, with dishes that actually taste like they're supposed to. Service is warm without being overbearing, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between relaxed and buzzy. Book ahead – word has well and truly gotten out about this place.
