Restaurants in Birstall itself are pretty enticing. For instance, the town has some cracking curry houses that compare favourably with Bradford's more well-known establishments. At places like the Spice Garden, local phaal fans can tuck into classically cooked, fiery concoctions, while the chefs also offer a range of European and British dishes - resulting in a family-friendly menu that everyone can enjoy. It's the ideal place to fill up before catching a movie at the Showcase or stocking up at the Retail Park.

If you zoom out a little at the Birstall restaurants’ Quandoo listings, you'll also discover a cluster of fantastic eateries in the immediate area. Dewsbury, Pudsey, and Morley are all well served fine dining spots, with a seemingly infinite supply of superb curry houses, alongside classy Italian trattorias and gastro-bars, as well as Asian fusion specialists and good old British pubs. Whether you want a hunk of roast lamb with mint sauce and roast potatoes (and a perfectly raised Yorkshire pudding or two) or something more exotic, it's a great area to hunt for dining options.
