Vying for the title of 'Curry Capital of Britain' with Birmingham, Manchester, and London, West Yorkshire - and Bradford in particular - has perhaps more curry houses per capita than anywhere else on the British Isles. Start with over-the-top extravaganzas like
Mumtaz Paan House and chains like
Akbar's and
Aagrah which cater to an increasingly affluent clientele. Contrast that with the hole-in-the-wall places you never knew existed, such as
Chach Valley and
Charco's. You also won't just find halal markets here, but halal
supermarkets such as
Al Halal. Plenty to eat in sight of the old mills and the Yorkshire Dales.
