Top class curry. We go here all the time as the food is top quality and the staff are super friendly. I've been to most of the best rated Indian restaurants in Yorkshire and this one is up there with the best.

What a fantastic restaurant! We were a table of 17 and despite the numbers all the food was brought out efficiently and correctly. The food was delicious, and the staff ere lovely. The menu is very clear to understand for people with dietary requirements and allergies too. Will 100% be coming back!

Had a lovely meal at Tulsi’s last night ( mixed starter, mixed jalfrazie, rice and a family garlic naan. Staff friendly, attentive and efficient. Nice decor . Being a Thursday, we’re clad we booked. Ps the onion bhaji is to die for as is the naan. Main meals were made with fresh ingredients and very flavoursome.

Hands down this is the best Indian in Pontefract, and I've not found anything as good nearby either. The food is very reasonably priced with good sized portions, the service is friendly and at the right pace. Give it a try!

We love coming to Tulsi. Always get a warm welcome and the food is tasty. They serve the best chicken saag I've ever had.
