About Dhesi Grill

Dhesi Grill is a grill restaurant at 29 Lilycroft Rd in Bradford, open daily and serving Indian karahis and grill dishes alongside burgers. The karahi choices include lamb karahi, with the heat set to hot or mild, and naan and roti come alongside the curries. From the grill, the mixed grill is ordered either as a starter or as a main. Burgers sit on the same menu, with a classic cheese burger among them. A rickshaw stands on the ground floor, giving the dining space a talking point beyond the food.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often point to the mixed grill, which one diner calls the nicest when fresh, alongside lamb chops, while another enjoyed it as a starter and a third found it old. Close behind are the karahis, with a monthly regular ordering lamb and chicken karahi, plus grilled fish, chilli nachos, lamb seekh kebabs and peri peri chicken, all described as delicious or grilled to perfection. Desserts, sticky toffee pudding and the house tea also draw praise, and several call the staff friendly. Complaints are substantial, though. Reviewers describe small portions, including a family platter that suited three rather than four, plain seekh kebabs, and a chicken steak that arrived without chips. Several report order disputes, such as a missing chicken karahi that staff argued over and a refused cancellation. Some menu items, including beef burgers, were unavailable. One reviewer reports mango chutney, onions and naan butter that smelled off, and another reports a flare up after a dish said to be gluten free arrived with crushed chillies. One diner's medium rare rib eye came out well done, and the replacement steak was basically raw.

    “This was genuinely the worst restaurant experience I’ve had in Bradford. From the moment the food arrived, there were multiple issues. The mango chutney in the pickle tray smelled off and tasted as though it had gone bad. The salad was no better – the onions looked old, had a very unpleasant smell, and tasted awful. We informed the staff about both of these issues, but then the garlic naan arrived, and even the butter on it smelled off as well. At that point, we’d completely lost confidence in the food. We decided not to eat any more, paid, and left as quickly as we could. Looking back, I should have realised something wasn’t right when we walked in. The restaurant was completely empty, and we were the only customers. I also wish I’d read the reviews beforehand. What made the experience even worse was the lack of any meaningful apology or concern from the owner. We left feeling extremely disappointed, and what should have been a nice meal out completely ruined our day. We eat out every week, and this is by far the worst dining experience we’ve had. Based on our experience, we won’t be returning.”

    “Ordered from Dhesi Grill and regretted it within hours. Food tasted off, hygiene clearly isn’t being taken seriously, and I ended up with stomach issues straight after eating. Not touching this place again. If you value your gut, avoid.”
  • Baasim
    “I accidentally ordered food because my mum didnt tell me to not order any more within 5 mins i called to ask to cancel and they said no i asked uf there was any way to cancel it and he went off and got mad i told him id sort it out and he went off on a tantrum shouting and said what do you mean you will sort it out come pick it up now i said i will i will i literally just said that and he hung up the phine abruptly”

    “Great Service, Food was really nice, enjoyed with friends, have ablution, prayer facilities. Think prices need to be looked at on some items and some staff training for the staff behind the counter, but overall a good experience.”
  • Ismail Badr M
    “Absolutely amazing OUT OF THIS WORLD! I come here once a month with my wife and the service is always absolutely impeccable, I always order the same three dishes, Lamb Karahi (Hot), chicken Karahi (Hot) and chicken Tikka masala (Mild) with three garlic naans. It's always made to absolute perfection and the service is mind blowing. They meet your every need without even the need to call the waiter. You can tell it's a family business as it it all works like a well oiled machine, great teamwork. Bravo 👏”
