Anand Sweets — Restaurant in Leeds

Service - It’s a no frills place, we’re not expecting red carpet silver spoon service but the staff are absolutely lovely, super friendly, super attentive and just overall really nice.

Atmosphere - No frills place full of local people wanting to enjoy some delicious food, recently undergone a refurb and is genuinely a really nice place to eat!

Food - Food was absolutely superb, not a single note for it just wonderful all round.

Value - insanely good value, some of the tastiest curries I’ve had for like £6? Where can you find such flavour for these prices in Leeds anymore? You simply can’t!

Halwa puri - We didn’t realise this was a breakfast item and not really something to order as part of a regular evening meal. No matter, it was really delicious. Delicately crispy puri with the delicious sweet halwa and beautifully spiced chickpeas and vegetables. Works so so well, the intense sweetness and the curried vegetables you would think don’t match, they do! They absolutely do. Really really gorgeous, definitely a great breakfast food.

Saag kofta - the saag sauce was delicate but packed with flavour, very spinachy but not at all slimey. Tasted really fresh and the spices just sang through the sauce. So good. Perhaps the koftas were a little too soft for my personal taste but really delicious all the same.

Shahi paneer - really beautiful heavily seasoned gravy with delicate but firm and fresh paneer pieces. Often times paneer can be so hard and dense, this tasted fresh, light and blended so well with the gravy. So so so so good.

Allo bengan - the star of the show for me without a doubt, this was so good. The smokiness of the aubergines providing the base flavour for the dish, with soft but toothsome flavourful onions. Omg this is so good my words don’t do justice. This, mixed with some rice, with a little lime pickle mopped up with some chapati. It’s over.

Amazing place overall, you have to...

This is a genuine feedback that I am sharing about this restaurant. The staff taking and serving the order was really polite and soft spoken. So that was the good part. But the food wasn't up to the mark. I visited this restaurant today along with a friend of mine. We ordered a couple of things out of which Veg Thali was one of them. Rice and curry was okay but the chapati (roti) was absolutely not. The rotis were not properly baked. We immediately asked the staff to call the chef but the staff got back and said that the chef is busy. Now with this, one can figure out the level of professionalism this restaurant has in its staff. The restaurant offered me to change the chapati but that's definitely not a solution and hence I myself didn't accepted that offer. Also in the bread pakoda that was served as a starter the taste of mint was pretty high in the inside stuffing which definitely is not an Indian style. I request the owner not to take any strict action on its chef rather give a proper instruction to improve things next time onwards. Lastly this is an advice, a genuine one to the restaurant that if you have started a business in the name of an Indian one please do maintain the authentic Indian standards too so that every Indian who visits your store takes pride in having your food and carries back good memories which in turn takes him/her to your place...

Reposted because the manager responded to my review with a completely inappropriate response. Drove all the way here today (10/07/24) to get some samosas and pakoras for the match and they’ve put the shutters down and closed up! It’s 20:00, they’re advertised to be open until 23:00 on google!!! This is completely unacceptable behaviour! At least have the decency to amend your opening hours on google if you’re going to randomly decide to shut up shop early! FOR THE MANAGER’S ATTENTION (because you had the audacity to respond saying I was referring to your other branch and that my review was incorrect): I AM REFERRING TO THE QUEEN’S ROAD BRANCH (I am a customer for well over a decade, I know all your branches very well thank you so do not try to make out that I am wrong - to do so is just grossly unprofessional on your part.)!!! IF YOU ARE CLOSED FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN YOUR STATED/ADVERTISED HOURS ON GOOGLE E.G. for REFURBISHMENT YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR GOOGLE OPENING HOURS TO “TEMPORARILY CLOSED”! Stop being unprofessional and rectify your mistake! Do not try to blame the customer! Edit: they have now amended their opening hours to ‘Temporarily Closed’ because of my review 😊! Still no apology for their completely inappropriate response to my initial review but hey, this is...
