Sweet Centre Restaurant is a longstanding Kashmiri and South Asian restaurant at 110-114 Lumb Lane in Bradford. Founded in 1964 by Haji M Bashir and his brothers, it grew from a local sweet centre cafe into a full restaurant. Family recipes and multigenerational continuity remain central to its identity.
Desi breakfast brings together samosa chaat, seekh kebabs, paya, lentils, chickpeas, halwa, paratha and puri. This morning and daytime selection sits beside the curries for which Bradford is widely known. Dishes can be adjusted to individual preferences, allowing diners to discuss heat and preparation with the kitchen.
Chicken, meat, minced meat, fish, prawns and vegetables appear across masala, bhuna, rogan josh, korma and balti preparations. Karahi dishes are cooked in larger portions suited to sharing, while biryani, breads, rice and pickles complete the table. Guests with allergies should ask staff for current ingredient and cross contact information.
Desi chai, cardamom tea, lassi and fresh orange juice offer natural accompaniments, while the restaurant’s sweet heritage provides a fitting finish. The atmosphere values generous service over elaborate formality. Sweet Centre Restaurant gives diners a direct connection to decades of Bradford food history through breakfast, curry and enduring family methods.
