The menu, which hopes to bring together traditional cooking and British favourites, will feature regional curries, tandoori dishes, biryanis, and Indo-Chinese options.

Among the most popular dishes in Wakefield are Tanvi’s Mixed Sizzler, Dragon Chicken, Hyderabad Lamb Curry, however there are also wraps, thali trays, indulgent desserts, and milkshakes.

Customers also enjoy the Ian and Amanda Special, which is named after two of the Wakefield restaurant's original customers who were the first to try a complex curry that was created for them by the chef.

The spokesperson added: "It's one of our most intricate curries, made with 21 ingredients, each roasted individually before being ground together to create a beautifully rich, deep-brown sauce."

The dish has since become a firm favourite, particularly among our British customers, and remains one of our most requested curries!

The original Wakefield restaurant has earned a five-star food hygiene rating and a 4.9-star rating on Google from more than 1,000 reviews.
