India Bistro will open on Harrogate Road, Chapel Allerton, on Monday December 1 - following months of renovation work at the former Aagrah site.
The UAE and India-based restaurant brand promises authentic Indian dishes and bold cocktails. From the bustling lanes of Delhi and Punjab to the royal kitchens of Awadh, the menu will celebrate regional dishes from north India and beyond.
India Bistro is being brought to the UK in a partnership between hospitality investment specialist AVT Capital and Foodlink Global Restaurants (India and UAE).
AVT Capital co-founder, Shubhangi Thaker, said: “We’re thrilled to introduce India Bistro to the UK and begin this India Bistro journey in Leeds, a city that truly appreciates great food and diverse dining experiences. Our goal is to bring something fresh to the scene: authentic Indian flavours presented with a modern twist, in a space that’s welcoming, stylish, and full of energy.
“Whether it’s a celebratory dinner, a date night over chaat and chai, or cocktails at the bar with crisp papads and house-infused vermouth, we want India Bistro to be the kind of place guests find themselves coming back to again and again drawn by the familiarity, the flavour, and the feeling of something special. We are hugely excited to share it with the people of Leeds and can’t wait to open in time for the Christmas party season.”
