AM Kitchen & Bar

Silvery leather chairs and studded-leather banquettes, jet-black tables, rich red tones and opulent chandeliers are a world away from your average provincial curry house, but this decadent and sultry-looking venue still keeps faith with the traditions of rogan josh, chicken korma and king prawn biryani. The vast menu also brings on board various sizzling hotplate specials and regional ideas such as haleem (lamb cooked in a richly spiced sauce with lentils and cracked wheat), while desserts are a lively, saccharine mixed bag ranging from traditional kulfi and gulab jamun to chocolate fudge brownie and Belgian waffle ‘meltdown’. A separate VIP lounge is tailor-made for Leeds’ smart set.
