About Aagrah Garforth
The evening buffet drives most visits to Aagrah Garforth, an Indian restaurant on Aberford Rd in Leeds, where separate starter and main-course sections let diners work through a spread of starters, salad, accompaniments and ice cream before finishing with a dessert course. Kashmiri and wider South Asian cooking shapes the mains, which run across bhuna, balti, masala and karahi styles in both chicken and lamb versions. The full carte lists around 230 dishes, among them Chicken Chaat, Chicken Pakora and sharing plates such as the Aagrah Special Tandoori Mix For 2. Guests are seated first and drinks orders are taken at the table. The dining room has been fully refurbished, with tables set well apart. The restaurant opens daily in the evenings and sits just off the motorway with its own parking, and it forms part of the Aagrah group alongside branches in nearby cities. Catering for events is handled from the same kitchen.

Customer Review Summary
The buffet is what nearly every diner comes for, and most describe it as generous, with one counting over twenty starter options and around ten mains. Praise clusters around the spread and the recent full refurbishment, which one visitor called the highest standard, alongside the roomy seating with space between tables. Several single out particular items, the garlic mushrooms, the salad and ice cream, while one regular who compares branches prefers the lamb chops at another site. The clearest recurring reservation concerns consistency in the mains, with one diner reporting the bhuna, balti, masala and karahi all tasted identical and the paneer starters too solid to cut, adding that when raised, staff relayed that this was how they came. Another family found requests for extra drinks and side dishes forgotten until asked twice, and felt the welcome was less warm than at other curry houses. Service otherwise draws steady approval, described as friendly and professional, and one takeaway customer left on Valentine's Day with a rose handed over alongside the food.

“I havent been to aagrah for many years. Probably wont for many more now. I had the buffet which I would say was plentiful the salad was nice the ice cream was nice. The starters like onion bhaji, paneer, samosa were not that great they were very dry and tasteless the paneer were solid couldnt even cut them with a knife. The garlic mushroom I will say were very nice The accompaniments were nice. Now for the main dishes I tried most of the dishes. The meat dishes eg. Lamb I presume as it just said meat. Were very chewy and didnt seem like nice cuts of meat. The chicken was very tender which was good. But the curry themselves. Every curry tasted the same the buna the balti the masala the karahi all of them tasted exactly the same same amout of spice everything. My partner who I dined with agreed. Sorry aagrah but I wonr be returning or even having a take away. I think I will stick with the smaller indipendant restaurants. One thing I will give good feedback on is the service was very good. And very friendly. Although when we told them about the paneer we were told the manager said thats how they are amd some bits cam be like that”

“As a family we had the buffet which was a nice change from our usual curry house. The food was good, not amazing, not bad just good. We requested additional things to the table as well as extra drinks and they were forgotten about, so we had to ask a second time. Staff wise again nothing stood out they didn’t go above and beyond but they also weren’t bad, every curry house I’ve been in before you’re made to feel very welcome. We didn’t really get that grasp from here. The atmosphere was very good and I can imagine it is a great place to eat but this was my first and last time dining here.”
