Headingley Bramhope Cricket Club

As a cricket club, we have been visiting Dastaan since last year.
Every time we visit has been special at its own merit.
The owners, managers and staff are all so amazing. They really know how to give Michelin service.
They cater from small group of people to big parties on the first floor which can cater up to 30+ people.
Thank you Dastaan and we will see you soon again for more of Paneer Tikka, Tandoori and Malai Chicken Tikka and not forgetting the lollipop chicken.
Food is amazing, service top class and a great drinks/cocktail menu too. Atmosphere is always good and the staff make sure you are well looked after. Our favourite restaurant!
A fabulous place for the best Indian cuisine in Leeds! Amazing food and 10/10 service. The ambience is really nice and so are the cocktails at Dastaan. Have been to Dastaan Epsom too, a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a double Rosette winner. Both are superb places for Indian food in United Kingdom.
1st visit to this establishment and definitely will not be are last, fabulously decorated with attentive staff always smiling and offering advice with the menu, the food was absolutely delicious nothing could be faulted the lamb rogan josh one of the best i have had the pleasure of eating, hats off the chefs👍
Wow.
**Disclaimer: I have only ordered for takeaway, so I cannot comment on the atmosphere of the restaurant***
This restaurant serves the most wonderful Indian cuisine I've experienced while living in the UK.
I ordered Lamb Nalli Biryani, Butter Chicken, Methi Chicken, and Garlic Naan.
Lamb Nalli: Served with a lovely, juicy, fall-off-the-bone lamb shank seasoned to perfection, and wonderful biryani rice that is perfectly prepared. 11/10!
Butter Chicken: This is the most delicious butter chicken I've ever had. The chicken is cooked in the tikka manner, which gives it multiple layers of flavour. The gravy is silky, garlicky, spicy, and simply AMAZING. 12/10
Methi Chicken: My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. The chicken was tender, and the gravy was mildly flavoured but still wonderful. I would order this again! 8.5/10
Garlic Naan: Soft and tasty. But £3 for one is expensive. 6/10
Dastaan will be on our regular rotation as this is quite possibly the best Indian food in the UK.
We found this restaurant at last minute via Google as a place to celebrate our anniversary at last minute.
We were absolutely surprised to receive such a friendly and warm service and engage with the staff about their experiences with the food here and what they can recommend based on our orders so far.
I have to say attention to detail and an honest recommendation is definitely something that is shared by all the staff here ! Which is extremely rare wherever you go.
Please please please visit this restaurant it is run like a family, so kind and warm and friendly and the food is so authentic and beautiful !
A huge thank you for making our last minute bosh date night a beautiful ! Delicious ! Experience.
Amazing experience in an authentic Indian. The food was exceptional very tasty & well presented, the taste of the food was exquisite. Brilliant friendly staff & very attentive, explained the menu to us x we were recommended by a friend & wasn't disappointed at all. Well done guys we will be back x TOP MARKS!!!!!!!
The meal was a taste of the spices of the chicken tikia kherki was lovely, first time here too, well recommended. For anyone that likes curries.
Brand new place tonight and certainly did not disappoint. First time in years that everyone was able to order something new for each course. If you love Indian food and you live near Leeds, it's a must.
Our first visit tonight and it was amazing the staff did everything possible to ensure we had an enjoyable experience. Everything was piping hot and full of flavour. The lamb sagg just melted in your mouth. And the cheddar and blue cheese naan was delicious. We will definitely be coming back soon.

Heard some good reviews and it definitely lived up to the hype. The meat on the lamb chops and chicken was insanely soft and juicy. The mains had exceptional flavour and the ras malai dessert was done well. The hosts and waiters were very welcoming. And Deepak was especially nice and helpful. His recommendations were spot on. My new favourite Indian restaurant. Deserving of the Michelin Guide recommendation!
Head Chef is a master chef semi finalist and went on to train under Michel Roux. So definitely an "upmarket" place. Setting was nice, and interior was good.
The menu was good, with great choice for all.. Our order.
Lamb Chop. Yes one lamb chop. At £10 per chop, it was a difficult order, but Lamb prices are through the roof right now, and the quality spoke for itself. Tasted great and was very tender.
Duck and Quail Sheekh Kebab. I thought it would have a nice Duck fatty element to it, but surprised by the lack of it. It was quite dry to be honest, but the apple chutney made up for it. I think that was the standout for the dish.
Lobster Dosa. The Dosa itself was thicker than Id like, and the lobster was just cooked on the same sauce it was served with. Good premise on the dish, but was just too 'same flavoury'. Probably would have preferred the lobster to have had a nice curry leaf element to it, and then the chutney too.
Methi Chicken. Nothing like what we would get down South, it felt like a chicken Tikka with Methi in it. Wished we ordered another dish instead, but not because it was bad, but because I was expecting something similar to what we would get in London.
Lamb Dum Biryani. Presented well, and they cut open the top at the table. Lacked that final omph though.
Blue Cheese and Cheddar Naan. It was good, if you don't like Blue Cheese, you can still order it. I wouldn't order it again as I wanted it to have that funk, and it didn't deliver.
Malai Chicken Tikka. I had it with the green chutney (more on that later), but it was effectively served with a guacamole and I wasn't a fan of the combo. The chicken however, on point. Super juicy even though it was breast, and a ton of char on it, just the way I like it.
Chutneys served with Papad. There was a garlic chutney 8/10, mango chutney 8/10 and a green chutney which was 10/10. Took me straight back to Mumbai.
Servers were very attentive and were happy to help us with our needs. Especially with 2 hungry screamy kids.
Overall:
Service 10/10, no faults to be honest.
Food 8.5/10.
We love dining here. The food is always really good quality, full of amazing flavours and nice presentation. Some of the nicest Indian food we’ve had. Really good place to go for something a bit special that’s great value too.
Another lovely evening at my favourite local restaurant. Thanks for such fun! The pork cheek vindaloo is a thing of beauty! 😀 See you again soon.
Beautiful decor with great starters. We had the paneer tikka, king prawns and chicken. For mains we tried the lamb rogan Josh, chicken curry, truffle naan and steamed rice. Staff did their best in relation to customer service.
An Indian neighbor introduced this restaurant. We visited it for the first time, only to realize that Indian food can be so delicious. We will go there again, highly recommended
