This INDIAN TAKEAWAY in Leeds COULD BE one of THE BEST IN THE UK...

[@liamwoz1861]

Don’t like the way they’ve rubbed out the prices and left them blank, that’s an old trick used when they charge strangers more than regular customers

[@liamwoz1861]

Looks like the aftermath of a barium enema to me so not gonna mark it on looks but probably a not so solid 7

[@1mannik]

Be fair they're a small outfit , probably had to revise prices a few times due to he increasing food & utility prices . I doubt they're trying to con you out 50p

[@ltrick3096]

It’s not a trick at all. If you live in England you know we are in a living crisis right now. Majority of independent food places have to put their price up

[@liamwoz1861]

@@ltrick3096 it is so a trick, prices should be clearly displayed or what stops them looking at someone and thinking yeah I’ll change these £3 more! I know it happens because I’ve been to a place just like it and been charged different amounts on each visit with the last one being cheaper

[@Dan23_7]

@@liamwoz1861 No offence but if you know somewhere charges differently every time, why would you return 🤷🏽

[@SharpblueCreative]

£80 for four Indian meals in a restaurant is cheap down here in the South West - the average takeaway where I am if £15 a meal.

[@1mannik]

The dishes u had today are what most actual Indian households might eat during a regular week . No tikka masala , no vindaloo , no naan , no korma . The stuff served up in most " indian restaurants " is a Bangladeshi restauranters take on Indian food made for the western pallet. Generally Indian food isn't "spicy " ... more flavour full .

[@ltrick3096]

FYI. Majority of Indian owned Indian restaurants are veggie. The standard Indian restaurants as we know which are owned by Pakistani and Bangladeshi sell meat

[@paulnosworthy4818]

Hi Lee… I spent some time in Bradford where we found an Indian cafe which was cheap as chips and the food as good as anything you would expect in restaurant. 10/10 for your find. We are blessed with brilliant neighbours and Tina will either cook us an Indian meal (we buy ingredients) or will teach her indoors to prepare and cook the meals. Another great way to get great Indian or Chinese food is to go to your favourite takeaway and ask them to put something together for £20 just citing your favourite dishes. It’s really interesting what they come with and plentiful. If four of us go to a restaurant your looking at a ton minimum, apart from Wing Ipp in Purley which is adjacent to their supermarket where all the Chinese restaurant / takeaway owners buy from. You purposely over order and when you have had enough they will give takeaway containers to take the leftovers home. The Chinese eat there all the time. The supermarket is huge and your easily buy enough ingredients for ten people for £30. For example two half’s of crispy duck and sixty pancake wraps (you have to buy in bulk) £13. All you need to is put the duck in the oven for 30 minutes, no preparation and it’s what you would get in a restaurant. Back to your find forget the ambience just brilliant food and really nice people.

[@SalarianUnlimited]

Loved the bloopers at the end - probably in need of your 'assistance dog'! I liked the look of the meal and price point and particularly that drier concoction next to the rice which looked like Bombay Potatoes and agreed with your mark of 9 on looks alone!

Indians are the king of spices. The food did look good. You gave it a fair score too.

[@robbflynn4325]

Looks good. My sister lives in Guiseley, a couple nice curry houses there which we ate at over the weekend during my visit from the US. There is one curry place here in Daytona Beach but the food is pretty bland. We have a Publix supermarket near us, they sell refrigerated Indian meals which aren't cheap but very tasty, these days I actually prefer the vegetarian stuff. Chinese food much better here but more and more people are appreciating Indian food.

[@lesliecarter8322]

They probably don't like filming as the Tax Man can see the cash lol. Great market hall there. Price good. Looked a decent curry, rice and roti. Spicy and tasty tucker, needed some chicken in there. 8 from me.

[@BillyBurgh]

Here in southeast Connecticut (US) that would’ve cost $10-$12, plus $2 for the soda. If it were dinner- $15 plus $2 for the soda. Full disclosure, the dinner portion would’ve been massive. We’re fatties over here.

[@eagle9665]

Lee, all in all it all looks good, however as an Indian I must say that the Rotli/Chapati is not cooked thoroughly....see the bits of raw dough.....

[@sylvia9292]

ive never seen a fully cooked one in 30 years.

[@rajjagconsultantgeologist7282]

[@iansmith371]

My mum was a seamstress also and I'd be dragged around the fabric stalls of Kirkgate Market as a kid in the 60's. The stall holders would unravel what seemed to me to be miles of fabric from rolls, in the hope of making a sale, only to be left rolling it all back up again. The market now seems to be more of a food hall, which is no bad thing.

[@Tidybitz]

Enjoyed the video and that indoor market looked lovely, I too like those types of places. Can't comment on the food as I hate spicy food and curries.

I think I have mentioned this place in a previous video's comments. I tried a wrap as it was cheaper lol and it's the best I've had. It was fresh and very tasty. One of the best things about it was the onion bhaji I had added on it as extra. It was strands of onion in a light and spicy coating. Best bhaji I've tried so a tad disappointed you never got to taste it.

Have to disagree with the other comments Leeds Market is ace yes its not as busy as it used to be I remember when they did 50p salad bags at the end of the day. But Manjit's is just ace and also have a place on kirkstall Rd a couple of miles away. There food is hard to beat!

[@traceycottrell5643]

Very nice, £80 for an Indian for 4 people I don’t think is bad at all. That meal will keep many people warm in the looming winter. It’s good to give meat a rest sometimes and opt for veggie or fish 👌 a lot of Indian breakfast deliveries here in Dubai on deliveroo 👌 I ate fish curry in the maldives for breakfast a few times 👍🏻🤩 great video

[@SLW93]

There's a few in the comments here who haven't a clue what they're on about, assuming because they've never been. I've been to Manjits Kitchen many times (as a meat eater who also loves veg) and their food is fantastic. Personally I prefer it to the curry place just next to it which does serve meat dishes. Sorry to hear they weren't welcoming of your camera, seeing as they generally seem to enjoy publicity when the attention is coming from newspapers!

[@doctorsam1953]

That looks really good and great value. Nothing wrong with vegetarian food and in fact a lot of the best Indian food is vegetarian. As for the punters referring to it as muck, well they probably don’t get it and are into gloopy English sweet sh*t rubbish which is about as Indian as my arse. Also I don’t think there should be any pressure on businesses to allow filming for so many reasons. Personally I wouldn’t want a meal interrupted by some vlogger gobbing off at the next table. No offence! 🤣

[@Sam-rg2dl]

If they didn’t want to be filmed fair enough but they could’ve been welcoming and let you show at least the kitchen or parts so we can see where it’s getting cooked therefore I would avoid this place. Would have sacked them off and gone to another place where they were more welcoming!

You don't need to eat meat with every meal. I am glad to see you break it up once in a while. You should do more vegetarian and vegan episodes. I have also seen you do a few Halal places, how about a Kosher place? Excellent video, too bad they wouldn't let you record the place. They don't understand how good a promotion it is for you to do a review. I have been to several of the places you have been to in the US. I look forward to trying a few in the UK when I eventually visit there.

Ha, 'pig sick', as you might remember, I am in France, enjoying probably my last major trip before the nukes start falling. But I digress. Remember that my steak pie was better than the one you recently enjoyed? I'm a fairly good cook, so I am often disappointed when I eat out, because I can do better. Mind you, love two egg McMuffins.... 🤣 So here I am, in France, and I thought I'd have a night off from the burners, and went for a takeaway pizza. I struggled to eat two slices, and even then, I removed some bits. The rest went in the bin. I've got stuff to eat, but I'm going to have to down a litre of Bodeaux Superieur, just to remove the foul taste in my gob. How the feck do you mess up a pizza? I've had better from Iceland (I don't shop there). Due to the foul taste in my mouth, I am thinking home made curry tomorrow, when I get to Bergerac. If you ask me, that was an expensive veg curry. These veg dishes are a goldmine for restaurants. Maybe that's an idea. Do a veg dish one day, and a meat dish the next, maybe same 'family business'? 🙄🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷😭🍔🍔🍔🍔

It's a style of cooking that goes back thousands of years using lentils,vegetables and spices with each component having medical benefits. !let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food.
