  “I honestly don't know why we haven't been there before!!! We are incredibly lucky to live with so many fantastic curry houses in our area and I can honestly say, as a party of 4 there last night, I cannot remember having had such an incredible curry. We will definitely be back soon!”

  “This is my favourite restaurant in Skipton. The staff are always genuinely friendly and welcoming and the food is consistently fresh, tasty, piping hot and in generous quantities. I’ve enjoyed every meal I have ever eaten there and their naan breads are the stuff of legends.”

  “A delicious meal for two, good service and atmosphere. Tried a medium Bangladeshi dish which was tasty but could have been a little spicier (more hot). Would recommend and definitely go again.”

  “The review I posted is not wrong... I am talking about your online delivery here.. because you fooled me... I placed and an order for 178. For egg fried rice . I t had dust in it so I called Swiggy but 5 times my call was disconnected.. then you sent a replacement...again the same issue was there in the order.. It was ame thing.. I made a complaint against and after 2 days of waiting you issued me a cupon of 75 rupees. and now If I want to use that cupon I have to place a minimum order value of 250 rupees.. so what is the benifit of giving me a cupon.. you guys are trying to be over smart... Means you are forcing me again to pay the Same ammount.. does it make sense.. I have placed lot of orders from you in the past but never complained, you should have curtsy to atleast call me and ask me about it... But you never did...and your online food quality is pathetic... But still I was managing, but how can someone eat sand in noodles....I want my money back that is 178 rupees... You can check with Swiggy and contact me... and would ofcourse tell other people that how do you treat your customer...and I did.. and what you are posting is that it was an error... You service sucks.. you don't even read the instructions.. I mentioned make it less spicy.. and you added green chillies in the noodles ... Are you mad or what?”

  “Party of 5 of us for my daughters 21st birthday tonight and all I can say is WOW, and THANK YOU! These guys couldn't do enough to make our Party more welcome. The service was 10/10, from the second we walked in and the food, definitely 10/10 👌even with a couple of our Party that like to mix the menu up a bit it was all served together, freshly cooked and piping hot. Highly recommend, and if you haven't been, go 👍 Cheers lads”

  “We booked a table at the Craven Kitchen for a meal this evening before going to see a band playing at the nearby Speakeasy bar in Skipton town center, following a Google search of good Indian restaurants in Skipton. Our favourite go to Indian restaurant in Skipton used to be the Aagrah, which started off life in the same building now occupied by the Craven Kitchen, before moving to a much larger building near the canal and sadly closing a couple of years ago, forcing us to go to their Shipley branch for our favourite curries. Although we arrived on time for our 6:30pm reservation we had to wait for 10 minutes in the small waiting area in front of the small bar for our table and during our wait we weren't offered any drinks from the bar nor menus to look at. After being seated at our table it took 10 mins for our order to be taken and another 45 mins for our starters to be eventually served at 7:35pm after chasing twice - a full 1 hour & 5 mins after we arrived!! The small 44 seat restaurant was full on a very busy Saturday evening and there was a steady stream of customers coming in to collect their takeaway orders, however, it was totally unacceptable to have to wait so long for our food to be served. Our starter of the mixed meat platter to share when it eventually arrived was delicious with plenty of grilled chicken tikka, fish, lamb chops and sheek kebabs with tasty onions on a sizzling platter. There was about a 15 min wait after we finished our starters before we were served our main courses. I had the Chicken Zafrani (firey hot, cooked with bay leaf, cinnamon green chilli, tomato, spring onion, coriander & pepper), my wife had the Nazrang Kamb Nazeez (strips of succulent tender lamb marinated with a hint of chilli, lime juice, then simmered with bay leaf with pepper medium), and we shared a boiled rice and 3 chapattis. The food was very tasty and we enjoyed the meal but not the long wait. My wife had 3 bottles of Tiger beer, I had 1/2 pint of draught Kingfisher beer and the total bill came to a reasonable £52.10. We requested a jug of water when we initially ordered our drinks and had to chase for it 3 times before we finally got it, over 1 hour after ordering it! The restaurant is accessed via some steep steps at the front and there's a small male & a small female toilet but no disabled toilet, so I'm not sure if it's wheelchair accessible. There's a very small number of on street parking spaces outside the restaurant with a large paid car park nearby, next to the town's bus station. Although we enjoyed the food, the very long wait for our meal and poor service made it a very poor dinning experience on our 1st visit to the Craven Kitchen and as my wife quite correctly pointed out we could have driven to the Aagrah Shipley and back in the 65 mins we had to wait for our starters to be served! - we might give them another try again sometime in the future, perhaps during the week when they should hopefully be a lot quieter and can provide a better service.”
