Absolutely superb Pakistani cooking at this family run restaurant. The food is very different to anything else available around here, the sauces (not that there is much sauce in most dishes) tending to be a reddish colour. Spicing is exquisite. The Armaan platter is a huge starter for two people, with samosas, sheik and shami kebabs, chicken and lamb tikka pieces, etc., for less than ?7.00. Meats are grilled in a tandoor rather than fried, and less oil than the norm is used in the curries, too. They claim this makes their food healthier than anyone else's in the area. There is a large selection of vegetarian dishes; they also specialise in fish curries. Family naans are suspended from a metal table stand. Prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is not licensed, but bring your own is allowed. The restaurant is unusual in that it attracts customers from both the white and Asian communities, including Muslim family groups (very unusual indeed, in my experience). It has a large upstairs function room which caters to weddings etc. for both communities. Service is efficient and very friendly. I can't recommend Armaan highly enough. Give it a try. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Thanks, I'll give these a try.
I've been dining at Saffron in Batley for a good months now (my partner loves the veg achari). Would be interested to know your views on Saffron, if you've eaten there (?)

I haven't eaten at Saffron yet (it's part of a chain I think, the original is in Bradford) but had a good report about it the other day. I'll have to give it a try soon.
Do let me know what you think to Armaan - everyone I've taken or sent there has been impressed, so far.
