The Bird Restaurant — Restaurant in Leeds

We visited for the simple fact it serves Non-Halal authentic Panjabi food and that is VERY hard to find in Yorkshire. We weren't disappointed neither!

The food is locally sourced and you can tell the difference and in the quality of the food.

We went for a mixture of starters, as they don't do a Mixed Grill as such, but were amazed at the quality of the produce. The marinades were icing on the cake for the meats and Salmon that were cooked in the tandoor to perfection!

Up came the main course, both veg and non-veg, of which we were almost already full from the starters! Couldn't help but wanting the fireworks of flavours to continue exploding on our mouths and it did! For us, the starters stole the show!

You get what you pay for and we noticed it in our food. The hospitality, courtesy and politeness of the staff was amazing so thank you to the front line staff too! The chefs have done a great job and I can only say that I'm SO happy to have an authentic Panjabi restaurant that caters for consumers that don't eat halal, Thank you, The Bird and I can't wait to come back!

Checked out the newly renovated last night and it sure didn’t disappoint. It’s just been taken over by new owners and they’ve definitely improved the restaurant and the menu too.

The menu doesn’t include all the ‘ standard/basic’ British Indian dishes anymore instead it’s a completely refreshed menu with lots of tasty dishes to choose from.

The dishes we went for..

Assorted Poppadom with Pickle Tray Lamb Seekh Kebab Tandoori Chilli & Garlic Prawns Butter Chicken Rajasthani Laal Maas Garlic Coriander Naan Steam Rice Chips

Lychee Paradise Virgin Mojito

I can’t even fault a single dish as they were all bursting with flavours and the lamb was literally melting in the mouth from the Rajasthani Laal Maas🤤.

If you’re local to Guiseley or love a curry just as much as me and willing to drive a little then I’d definitely recommend this place to try out!

The staff were lovely shout out to Kunal for inviting us along to try the gorgeous food out & also thanks to the chefs who cooked us up a storm!

If you take a look the menu you’ll see it’s very reasonably priced especially for the quality of food you’re getting!

Get yourself down to this place it’s the best curry in Guiseley and one of the best curries I’ve had in...

Many thanks to everyone at The Bird for ruining my birthday celebrations last night. On 8th August after trying unsuccessfully to book a table online for Saturday 23rd August my husband telephoned you and made a reservation for 4 people on 23rd August. However having made the booking two weeks earlier, he telephoned you on the night to check the time - he wasn’t sure if the table was booked for 7.45 or 8pm and we didn’t want to turn up late. Imagine our surprise, disappointment and then anger to be told there was no reservation and the only time available was 6pm or 9pm. Unfortunately this is the third time this has happened, once on a Tuesday which was luckily a quiet night and we were able to get a table, then one Saturday when friends had booked for five of us only to be told on arrival there was no booking and finally last night. We have eaten here so many times and the food has always been excellent but we won’t be coming again. Get your booking...
