A small but perfectly formed part of the Aagrah chain of restaurants, first started in 1977, now I…read morethink there are about 13 restaurants in the chain. The address says 11 Keighley road but this is situated in a side road off Keighley Road which is more Devonshire Place than Keighley Road! I have visited this restaurant since it first opened as I was lucky enough to have my first flat just around the corner. So I succumbed every week to a take away and frequented the restaurant regularly in larger groups or a deux. I have never ever had a bad meal here and am loathe to tell you how good it is in case I cannot book a table! The menu is extensive and I have yet to try everything in over 20 years as they keep adding new and exciting dishes, They also do a christmans menu. Down a side streeet in Skipton with steps up to it, the friendly and attentive staff greet everyone as a friend and valued customer. Smartly dressed in black and white with waistcoats. Small waiting area for tables or takeaways always with newspapers, local and national. The menu is extensive and ,as with all their chain they source local fresh produce, meat, poultry and Veg. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. We have recently tried a new Lahore Machli which is haddock with chilli and garlic in a batter and it was soooo delicious we asked for a takeway to have at home the next day!! A small restaruant with some tables near a front window, but most at the back. Great atmosphere, incredibly clean,with starched white tablecloths and napkins, newly placed for every customer. Small bar with bottled beers etc, not inflated prices, and worth trying proper Indian beer to go with your meal. I would advise booking on a Friday or Saturday. A few parking spaces in the street outside or a car park opposite and in the Co op car park is free. At the moment 2008 they are doing up the bus station so may be better to park on the High Street. The Coop car park etc will be open again in 2009.

Pretty good food and lovely decor.read more

Pheasant Rogan Josh - that's something new for me - and it was really very good as were all the…read moredishes we eat here tonight. The service was attentive and very professional and the atmosphere comfortable and relaxed and rather pleasantly dated to suit this picture postcard village location. I can highly recommend it, and not just for passing bargees on the nearby Leeds and Liverpool Canal!

Purple Garlic...mmm...Purple Garlic...mmm... OH! Sorry about that, you caught me with 40 winks! I…read morewas just dreaming about Purple Garlic! How tasty it is...mmmmmmm! Anyway, lets get to the point: Purple Garlic is amazing and I'm surprised Silsden hasn't blown up disastrously from the amount of flavour bursting out of the succulent meat and the juicy vegetables, the hot spicy curries and the... dum dum... dum dum... dum dum... dum dum... CHICKEN PAKORA'S!!!!!!!!!!!!! BANG! The flavours hit you as long as the journey from mouth to stomach, sometimes even LONGER! I really want to show my absolute pride and joy and ecstaticness (if that's even a word, I know ecstatic is alone) about PURPLE GARLIC. I wish my living space was PURPLE GARLIC, I wish my every meal was from PURPLE GARLIC! I practically live there already because I love it so much. Added on to that yumminess, the decor is lovely. The building is old from the outside but when you enter it is surprisingly modern and has a nice, relaxing atmosphere to dine in which makes your dining experience at Purple Garlic pleasant. The staff are Indian and are very nice and have a good sense of humour. Try to go with other people as it is more of a group restaurant! I would like to shout from the rooftops: '' EVERYONE GO TO PURPLE GARLIC IT'S AMAZING GO NOW OR SUFFER THE WRATH OF NOT GOING!'' To all of the people on earth. Thanks for reading my review and letting me share with you how good PURPLE GARLIC really is!
