Prashad was started by Kaushy and Mohan Patel in 1992. For twenty years it lived on a Bradford sidestreet — in the family's own words, “a meeting-point, a hub, a treasure trove of ingredients, and a centre for gorgeous Gujarati snacks and dishes, prized by the whole community.”

In 2012 the family moved to Drighlington, into a former pub on Whitehall Road, now set over two floors. The heritage is Gujarati: recipes handed down generation upon generation, with Head Chef Minal Patel — who took over the kitchen in 2004 — bringing her own twists to the dishes the family inherited, while Bobby Patel carries on the Prashad legacy.

“We hope you enjoy eating the food as much as we enjoy making it” Bobby Patel, Prashad

Recognised, but still a family table.

Prashad has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand since 2014 and two AA Rosettes since 2015 — in the family's words, the only two-AA-Rosette and Michelin Bib Gourmand Indian restaurant in Yorkshire. The restaurant was a finalist in Gordon Ramsay's Best Restaurant in 2010, and Kaushy's cookbooks, Prashad: Indian Vegetarian Cooking and Prashad at Home, are sold in the restaurant's own shop.

The accolades matter less than what stays the same: Indian vegetarian cooking, with vegan dishes, from ingredients sourced locally wherever possible.
