Harden's survey result
Summary
Mohammed Sabir was still working as a bus driver in Shipley when he launched his Kashmiri curry business as a mobile takeaway from his Commer van, the ‘Spice Box’ in 1976. The next year he opened his first bricks-and-mortar restaurant Aagrah, which still wins consistently solid marks for its food and has nine branches across Yorkshire.
Summary
“Consistently good” Kashmiri food has made Mohammed Sabir’s Shipley-based chain a Yorkshire “stalwart” for 45 years. There are now 10 branches across the county, and the 10-year-old Tarka range of sauces for the home cook.
Summary
“Still going strong after 20 years” [er, make that 43, Ed], this Kashmiri chain has long since conquered the north, with a catering division and a dozen-odd branches across Yorkshire; on the menu, “good value” and “reliably authentic cooking” in “large portions” (downstairs serves the full menu, upstairs is a carvery beloved for its buffet).
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
