Best Asian Food Restaurants in Widdop Crags

"Leeds isn’t short of cracking curry houses by any means, but Tharavadu gets a special mention here for its Kerala cuisine. The menu, inspired by the south-west state of Kerala in India, includes traditional street foods, breakfast dishes, soups and dosa, with handy explanations of the cultural significance of its dishes. It also offers an express lunch deal with a feast of three curries, a side dish, rice, dosa and chutneys, for less than a tenner."

"The Malayalam word ‘tharavadu’ roughly translates as keeping traditions alive – and that’s certainly the ethos of this charming Keralan restaurant, which you’ll find just across the road from Leeds train station. They cover a wide variety of southern Indian dishes, among which you’ll find some unusual treats. Time Out tip: Look out for crab cooked in coconut sauce, excellent fried lentil doughnuts and toffee-filled steamed rice cake."

"A post shared by Tharavadu (@tharavadu) on May 17, 2017 at 10:39am PDT. Tharavadu loves to shout out that it’s Michelin recommended, but I completely understand, because they wholeheartedly deserve their success. Their menu is blummin' massive and they are not sparing with their vegan options."

"Another sexy restaurant from Living Ventures, Grand Pacific is the King Street powerhouse that boasts high-ceilings, decadent dishes and quirky cocktails. Hang out at the bar, dine in the 100-strong restaurant or go all out with your own private room."

"Decadent interiors are matched with an exotic menu drawing from all corners of the globe at Grand Pacific. From pea and wasabi houmous to soy and treacle cured salmon, this isn't your average Japanese meal; it's a modern take on East Asian flavours."

"Enjoy the tinkling sounds of a baby grand piano as you wine and dine in the breathtaking settings of what once was Manchester’s Old Reform club. Dishes blend flavours from exotic places with English classics as well as elegant cocktails."

"Fancy some Pan-Asian goodies but sick of plain noodles or boring boiled rice?. Tampopo is the answer, offering south-east Asian comfort food full of flavour from sweet and sour Pad Thai to spicy jackfruit Rendang curry. Tampopo even have vegan desserts, including creamy cinnamon and caramel banana fritters."

"Prashad has a reputation for providing some of the most unique and innovative cuisine in Yorkshire. Its food won Prashad a place in the final of Gordon Ramsay’s search to find Britain’s Best Restaurant back in 2010. Prashad has also been mentioned in the Good Food Guide and the Michelin Guide – and was named Best Indian Restaurant at the Yorkshire Evening Post Oliver Awards in 2014."

"Teppanyaki showcases a quintessentially Japanese style of cooking which revolves around grilling. In fact, the word Teppan means Iron Hot Plate and Yaki means “to grill.” Well known for their welcoming yet sophisticated service, if you’re looking for somewhere with a social atmosphere, you could do worse than Teppanyaki. Perfect for those looking for something a little out-of-the-ordinary, their menu includes all kinds of wonderful dishes."

"Teppanyaki is a Japanese restaurant that offers an authentic Japanese cooking experience that all their diners would love to experience. With a team of carefully selected and handpicked chef, they offer authentic Japanese dishes that will tempt the palate of all types of people even those that are picky eaters. Specialising in teppanyaki, they offer theatrical grilling and frying of your dish right in front of you."

"If the answer is yes, you need to go and experience Teppanyaki. One of the best Japanese restaurants in Leeds, you get to experience an atmosphere similar to one you will have experienced if you have ever eaten in Japan. Watch as your skilled chefs cook your food in front of your own eyes to the best of standards, feel your jaw drop as they juggle and flip your food, throwing a dash of fire into the mixture."

"Buried in the heart of Chinatown, Pho Cue might be the most unassuming yet utterly consuming takeaway you'll find on this list - and yes, the pun is intentional. Specialising in Vietnamese delights, we've never had a meal from here that hasn't ended in loosening our belts and unbuttoning our pants."

"serves fine British cuisine with generous portions and a relaxing atmosphere. The charming restaurant’s menu is updated frequently to provide the freshest, most seasonal food available. Enjoy a Guinea fowl breast, served with baby leeks and shiitake mushrooms, or a Scottish salmon fillet, served with lemon and thyme confit potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and purple stem broccoli."

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."

"Manchester’s legendary stand-up comedy club remains an ever-popular destination, and has hosted pretty much every big name in comedy over the past 19 years. TripAdvisor reviewers had high praise for the venue’s staff, drinks and hot food offering. Typical reviews include: “Food was good, staff friendly and comedy funny."

"The one you think of when someone says comedy in Manchester. Located on Deansgate Locks, this perfectly placed club offers some of the best stand up in town. Their auditorium set up makes it perfect for stand up."

"One of the best outdoor restaurants in Manchester, The Ape & Apple is an ideal pitstop after a long day of exploring the city. With friendly locals, monthly-changing ales and a secret terrace out the back, this place ticks all of our alfresco dining boxes."
