The imposing restaurant, based in the heart of Leeds, is on the ground floor of the BBC building.

Never one to take success and a good reputation for granted, Aagrah’s Managing Director, Mohammed Aslam MBE is on an ongoing culinary journey to develop and innovate.

The hugely popular restaurant decor is plush but with a 21st century twist. The colour scheme is dark, dominated by blacks and browns and the lighting muted.  Aagrah Leeds City is a high-end restaurant offering amazing value dining with great service.
