The Patel family

It started with Kaushy cooking the way her family ate in India.

Kaushy and Mohan Patel opened Prashad in Bradford in 1992 — a sweet shop and kitchen built on recipes passed down through the generations. In 2012 the family took over an old pub on Whitehall Road and turned it into an intimate Gujarati eaterie that now draws diners from across the county.

Today head chef Minal Patel keeps those recipes alive, refining them with a modern touch. Kaushy's cookbook, Prashad: Indian Vegetarian Cooking, put the family's food on shelves nationwide.

Why people travel for it

Not a curry house. A Gujarati home that happens to seat strangers.

1

Vegetarian since day one

Every dish is meat-free and much of the menu is vegan — not an afterthought, but the whole point. Paneer, dhal, chaat and dosa, cooked with intent.

2

Handed-down recipes

Gujarati home cooking the way the Patel family ate it in India, refined over thirty years and two AA Rosettes — without losing the soul of a family kitchen.

A pub, reborn

A renovated West Yorkshire boozer on Whitehall Road, now one of only two Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants in the whole of Yorkshire.
