Castleford, Indian Restaurant Guide

“A craft beer pub with fabulous Indian vegetarian street food. What’s not to like?” agree fans of the Manchester-based operation whose formula is equally popular in Leeds. It’s “great to be able to take meat-lovers to a veggie restaurant and know they’ll enjoy it!”.

“You don’t miss the meat as the flavours are delicious” in Manjit Kaur’s veggie cooking, available at her restaurant on Kirkstall Road and her stall at Kirkgate Market – which is “still a favourite for street food in Leeds”. Manjit started out making food in her kitchen at home for delivery in 2010, slowly developing the business with her husband Michael Jameson over the next 10 years.

Nand Kishor and Sanjay Gour’s July 2022 launch follows on from the phenomenal success of their first Dastaan, in the outer London ’burbs. This northerly sibling is a tad more upmarket than in Ewell, but many dishes are shared between the restaurant’s two menus. Local popularity has quickly propelled it to No. 1 in the Leeds Tripadvisor rankings, but our local reporters seem harder to impress – they say its “small but well-executed menu is very good”, but have so far stopped short of awarding it an outstanding average rating.
