Kiplings in Halifax have been awarded for their culinary Indian delights which have satisfied the taste buds of locals and those from further afield, staving off relentless competition particularly from rivals in curry capital of the UK Bradford.

Halifax wouldn’t be the first name on the lips of Indian food experts when it comes to where to go in Yorkshire for quality Indian cuisine, with Bradford and Leeds usually the choice; but Kiplings of Halifax has come through to be awarded the Best Indian Establishment in the North.

With the magnitude of competition in the North, particularly in Yorkshire this is a coup for the restaurant who were recognized as the best for their Indian meals at ‘The food Awards England 2017’.

Not only were they awarded ‘best in the north’, they also went up against the winners of the three other regional heats, and in fact came out on top in this competition as well, to walk away with ‘The Best Indian Establishment Overall’, being recognised as the best Indian restaurant in the UK.

Mohammed Rafiq of Kiplings reflected on their incredible success he said: “This has really put Halifax on the map for Indian cuisine, it is usually the big boys in Bradford and Leeds that get the recognition, so this is really huge for us.”

Kiplings pride themselves on their satisfaction to customers, comfort and affordability. Catering for couples, families and friends it’s the perfect place for business, socialising or just general meet ups. Their restaurant is the ideal spot to relax and take in the exquisite award-winning food and drink on offer.
