Prashad

Prashad Loved by the Michelin Guide & 2 AA Rosette awarded restaurant. Gujarati & vegetarian menu.
(1543)

Prashad is an award winning, family run Indian vegetarian restaurant in the heart of Drighlington. Our aim is to give you a unique culinary experience consisting of the highest quality, lovingly made Gujurati and North Indian vegetarian food, served in an intimate and welcoming environment by knowledgeable, intuitive and friendly staff. At Prashad (meaning blessed food), our highly experienced and passionate chefs bring you authentic, ‘home style’ vegetarian cuisine from Gujarat, Punjab and South India handed down through the generations. Our menu has been designed to introduce your palette to new tastes, flavours and textures using age old techniques, from the best ‘roadside snacks’ to richer, more robust dishes. Prashad favourites include our famous Gujarati street-food Chaat, known for being the best in the UK, and our South Indian Massala Dosa, which we have spent years perfecting and now boast the best recipe outside of Kerala (the secret is in the dough preparation!) Alongside these classics, we have a number of ever-changing specials, made with locally-sourced, seasonal produce. Kaushy Patel, founder of Prashad, is the author of two well established cookery books showcasing the best of Indian vegetarian cuisine. The chefs at Prashad try to bring alive this culture in every lovingly-made dish – and the prestigious awards we have won recently are a testament to this:
- Two Star AA Rosette for Culinary Excellence
- The Michelin Guide
- The Good Food Guide
- Morrisons Magazine Great Grub Award 2013
- Yorkshire Life Chef of the Year 2013
- Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand 2014
- Yorkshire Evening Post Oliver Awards Best Indian Restaurant 2014.
- TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence (Last 6 years running)

SOY SAUCE & ICE CREAM?? 🍨 Sign us up 😂 Bobby & Maitri put the internet’s favourite weird and wonderful flavour combinations to the test. Can cucumber really taste like watermelon? You might need to try these for yourself 👀

CULINARY EXCELLENCE AWARD 🏆 Wow, what a night! Yesterday we headed over to Manchester for the 2026 Indian Restaurant Summit & Honours, and we definitely felt honoured when they announced Prashad as the winners of this year's culinary excellence award.

Such a proud moment, and one that meant the world to share with mum and dad, the founders of Prashad, and our daughter Maitri 🧡

The awards were judged by an incredibly esteemed and talented panel, including one of Minal's heroes, chef Atul Kochhar.

Getting to share our food with you every day is a dream come true, so thank you to each and every single one of our customers who dines with us, orders takeout, posts a photo, recommends us to a friend... the list goes on. We couldn't do what we love without you!

Happy birthday Mum 🎂 Please join us in wishing many happy returns to everyone’s favourite auntie, Kaushy. The woman who helped build the strong foundations upon which Prashad stands today. No one brightens up a room (or the world around them) quite like our Kaushy, thanks to that infectious smile and energy.

She’s stayed positive and strong through every challenge life has thrown our way. Her endless warmth shines through into her amazing food. Her generosity knows no bound, and our love of giving back and supporting our community was nurtured from the very beginning by her.

Mum, you truly are one in a million. We hope you have the happiest of birthdays.
All our love from Bobby, Minal, Maitri & the whole team at Prashad 🧡

There really is no way to go wrong with our Maharani Thali 👏🏽 It’s chef’s choice of dishes, and Minal definitely has great taste! So when our customer Emma joined us recently, she knew EXACTLY what to ask for ✨

Be like Emma, order a thali and get ready to seriously enjoy it. Oh, and if you both order a thali, we’ll mix it up so you can still share and try as many different dishes as possible 🔥

Have you been wasting half your leeks? 👀 Grab your knife and work your way up to the top to reveal all that good stuff you’ve been chucking in the bin 😱

Do you top it like pizza? Give it the old karate chop? We all love poppadoms, but how do you eat yours? 😋

Minal’s latest creation is a work of art 🔥 Meet the Khulu Samosa, filled with house-blend garam masala-infused asparagus and cauliflower; it’s the perfect start to our seven-course tasting menu 👏🏽

The thali pros know you don't save dessert for last... The best way to do it is to tear off some rotli, scoop up some shrikhand and top it off with a little curry of your choice! Trust us, it's a mouthful of heaven 🧡
