Shimlas Leeds

You'll find yourself on a busy stretch of Roundhay Road, but step inside and the chaos melts away. The dining room feels lived-in rather than styled, with families sharing massive platters and the kind of comfortable din that tells you the food's worth talking about. The kitchen knows its way around a tandoor – their naan emerges with those essential black blisters and the right amount of chew, while the lamb karahi arrives with tender chunks swimming in a sauce that's been cooked down properly, not rushed. The portions are generous enough to share, though you might find yourself being possessive over the last piece of seekh kebab.
