Travelling all the way from London, I was very pleased with Lahori Gate and the quality of their authentic panjabi cuisine. The food up North is made with love and to a way better standard. Everything was delicious, and the restaurant was nicely decorated. Lamb Karahi and Kebabs were amazing. Service was bad (forgetting to give my cutlery and tissues), especially considering we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time, but I’ll give the waiter the benefit of the doubt.

Giving two stars as the food was good but the rest of our visit wasn't great. Firstly walked into a pure empty restaurant (though the decor was nice) wandered about wondering if they were open until the guy in the back eventually acknowledged us.
He was polite once we were seated and ordering however we were told no diet soft drinks as they were waiting for a delivery so I just had water, then told there was no paneer for the curry but thankfully that was then changed to be told there was.
Mains came, my friend's had chicken in when she'd ordered a vegetarian curry. She told the server and he quickly rectified it and was polite and apologetic and then brought us each a mocktail after too which was a nice gesture. The food we had was really nice.
Then it came to paying - we asked for the bill and he just told us the total which in hindsight should definitely have asked for the receipt. Then it was can only take cash as card machine not working, which we weren't told upon arrival. Couldn't bank transfer and neither of us had cash, almost didn't have a card for the card machine either but "luckily" my friend had hers in her car. So then we had to schlep out following his directions to St Luke's Hospital to get cash out to then drive back and give it to him which was just a bit stressful when unexpected tbh and felt like one thing after another.
Pickle tray (about £4), shared pilau rice and garlic naan (about £6 for both), a coke and two main dishes (£8.95 each on menu) came to £42.50. We ended up paying £40 as he mustn't have had change from the £50 we'd drawn out so just gave me a tenner back which seemed like a nice gesture until driving home after our show we realised we'd definitely been overcharged, can only assume for the replaced meal after their error or the complimentary drinks we thought were to apologise for it. Didn't realise at the time as it was really stressful trying to sort payment as we had timed things to get to our show at the Alhambra and the faff of trying to pay just delayed things so we felt rushed.
Disappointing after wanting to visit thinking it looked nice from the outside, understand why it was dead on a Friday evening now and wouldn't recommend.

Ordered ‘Melted Nachos’ The nachos were not melted. I told the guy, he brought it back & the nachos were burnt.
The mix grill was not fresh. The seekh Kebabs were sweet & had a rubbery texture to them.
They had no Diet Coke, no Sirloin Steak as advertised on the menu.
The decor of the place is good & well designed. But the Food is Mid!
Spent £100. Was not worth it at all.

Came to Lahori Gate all the way from Newcastle after reading reviews. Very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing restaurant. Service was very friendly and the food was brilliant. Really please to have chosen this restaurant and will definitely come again when I am in Bradford. Have been recommended to try the mix grill starter and lamb karahi on the bone next time so will need to come back for this. Recommend to visit.

Lahori Gate is a MUST TRY restaurant. I recently visited the restaurant with my family after hearing praises about their food.
The establishment's beautiful decor and ambient lighting gave this restaurant a nice and calm tone.
Moving on the the food, the starters were delicious. The Kebabs were succulent and juicy. The lamb chops were tasty but the main starter I was hooked onto was the Fish, Mamma Mia! oh the Fish was absolutely delicious.
For the main course we ordered a variety of dishes. My two standout dishes were the chicken bhuna and the lamb on the bone. You could tell both dishes were cooked fresh, seasoned perfectly. The herbs and spices were amazing giving both dishes amazing and unique flavours. I cant knock the vegetarian dishes, the Dhaal made at this restaurant was smashing, an absolute must try.
This restaurant has a nice atmosphere, good food and good service. Hats off to the gentlemen who served us and my compliments to the chef.

Went today after a while and had booked for my little cousins birthday party.
Decor and location is really good and comfortable surroundings and staff are friendly.
The lamb karahi and naan and tandoor roti was nice and tasty but was cold and not much masala but it was nice.
The starters were all piping hot and delicious.
Very poor in terms of what was available on the menu and what wasn’t, also baring in mind having a small menu as it is we was told they dont do beef burgers or sirloin steak anymore so that was two options out the equation.
We was going to order lassi 2 x mango and 1 sweet only to be told they haven’t got any sweet lassi today, so that was fine they comped the sweet lassi and gave us a extra complementary mango one instead, but the lassi was lumpy and tasted weird hardly any mango flavour and it wasn’t sweet atall.
Secondly as you can see from the pictures we was given a cremated chicken steak with charred garlic bread, come on guys who sent that out from the kitchen? Its very unacceptable to serve food of this standard to your customers, the chef should know better then to send food out which looks like that.
Biryani although tasty unfortunately it was stone cold so only managed two spoonfuls of it the side mash potato for other chicken steaks were cold, the portion size of the lasagna was tiny but it tasted nice.
There was another function on today which the staff attended to more then other tables ours included and although I know they were understaffed tonight the staff kept using the other function as a excuse for our mains being 30min late, also staff were not really attending our table or checking if our food was okay and also were not well informed as to what they did and didn’t have left in the kitchen.
All in all even tho this time wasn’t our most enjoyable experience, the owner and staff did comp and take items off the bill which we were not happy with, the owner and the owners brother were very apologetic and didnt have any quibbles comping or adjusting the bill they also offered us free ice cream or desserts to take home.
The service by the owner i cant fault very nice chap and was very sorry and did make up for the poor experience by comping items.

First time here and it was beautiful and classy looking on the inside.
Food was good- overdo it with the onions and peppers in their Chinese stir fry/chow meins. Dessert menu is currently getting an overhaul and what they had to offer was not great- tasted stale and just odd.
Service was okay, looked like they had a new member being trained tonight but it was very quiet albeit two large tables that were there for birthdays and we had to keep asking for things to be done as there were no waiters when needed.
Overall it was a 3 star rating from me and my friends and we don't know if we would come back again.
