The vegetarian Indian restaurant, which started out as a deli in Bradford, moved to its current home in Leeds in 2012 and recently celebrated 30 years in business.
Prashad is a family-run, independent Indian restaurant drenched in history and based in Dridlington, Leeds.
They have been serving up their deliciously authentic North West Indian recipes for 30 years and have established themselves as a proper Yorkshire foodie landmark.
And now they are getting the recognition that they so truly deserve and are being featured as the top Yorkshire restaurant pick on the Hairy Biker’s new BBC series ‘Hairy Biker’s Go Local’.
In the eight-episode series, which airs on BBC Two, TV chefs Si King and Dave Myers visit their top restaurant picks throughout the UK, as they play matchmaker with innovative local suppliers.
The food at Prashad tells the story of the Patel family’s lives from India to West Yorkshire, with Gujarati recipes handed down through the family, made with only the best produce Yorkshire has to offer.
Co-owner of Prashad, Bobby Patel spoke about the appearance: “We were so excited to be invited on to the show, and chosen to represent Yorkshire
“Being able to share our Gujarati food with people is such a gift, and to have it recognised again, by two chefs we really admire, is a testament to the hard work of Minal and the team.”
“It was an honour to serve up my tasting menu for Si and Dave” say Head Chef Minal. The seven-course, vegetarian tasting menu features Prashad favourites, like the Masala Dosa, and twists on traditional dishes, with simple samosas transformed into crisp, cone-shaped ‘Sanku’.
“You’ll have to watch the show to see their full verdict, but the whole team left with full tummies and huge smiles, which is the experience we want everyone to have at Prashad”.
Husband-and-wife co-owners, Bobby and Minal Patel, and their fantastic team will be on our screens on Wednesday 11th January at 8pm on BBC 2.
