Recently, the restaurant has decided to stop serving alcohol permanently. However, there is no information on their website or at the restaurant notifying customers of this change. The spices used in the dishes seemed to be toned down to cater to a child's palate. I wouldn't recommend this place unless it's for a kids' party.

The service and food at this restaurant were terrible. People were smelly and I was charged for food that was not suitable for human consumption. read more The service and food at this restaurant were terrible.

Although, even if I wasn't within it's catchment area I'd still make the effort to travel into Cleckheaton, just outside Bradford, to taste their food.The huge restaurant is big enough to have it's own coffee shop in the entrance, along with two big function rooms. The food is exquisite, every dish I've tried from Aakash has been a wonderful experience. Cooked to perfection, the portions are generous and the flavours ooze out of every bite. The staff are just as attentive of take-away and delivery orders as they are in the restaurant. If there's any confusion or delay you'll get a phone call to clarity, no need to chase them. Not that they make a habit out of arriving late, the friendly driver almost always gets here on time. There's complimentary popadoms with every meal, and if you want to order a basket you'll get a bag to share with the neighbours! You even get the obligatory after dinner chocolates delivered with your meal. Aakash has become a regular on my families dinner plates over the past year, and for very good reason. Give it a try if you're in West Yorkshire. It is really worth the visit.

They literally took food from the tables at my sons 1st birthday party early and packed it into plastic containers so they could serve it later in the buffet. No wonder so many people complain of food poisoning. When I complained I was met with a wall of silence as others have experienced. They had no intention to make things right after the event and denied any wrongdoing claiming they had to remove the food to make provisions for the next event later that evening. Good riddance, as they say, what goes around comes around!
