We celebrate Indian street food culture - the carts and street side vendors that dot the length and breadth of India’s regions, preserving age-old recipes whilst creating urban legends. Inspired by the hawker’s local dishes, Goa’s seafood shacks and the toddy shops of Kerala, every one of our dishes is infused with the passion of India’s cooks. Alfred Prasad, the youngest Indian chef to ever receive a Michelin star, has crafted our menu with tantalising aromas and fragrant flavours to create food that will wake the taste buds. We’re combining the energy from our bustling kitchen with vibrant decor to evoke the colours, chaos and craziness of India and create a fun, easy-going, dynamic atmosphere. We’re bringing the best Indian street food this side of Delhi to the heart of Headingley. We’re The Cat’s Pyjamas.

    Food and service were just spot on, would definitely recommend. It’s nice to have a well priced local Indian that differs from your ‘run of the mill’ standard curries.

    A lovely restaurant for a casual get together with family and friends. The service is excellent with friendly staff who are happy to recommend their favourite dishes. The menu is not vast but there is great variety and some less known dishes are on the menu. It is very good value and suitable for all ages.

    My fourth visit to this delightful restaurant which serves Indian street food, it's limited menu strikes the right balance between offering enough choice to cater for most people whilst ensuring every dish they turn out is done to perfection. Highly recommended for both its food and beer selection, serving many distinct craft beers.

    Food was delicious - a little bit different from most Indian restaurants in England and, with a shorter menu, each dish was individually cooked. Service was swift and attentive. We were glad we booked for Saturday night. The restaurant was buzzy but the decor was very plain - perhaps in keeping with the "street food" angle, but I would have appreciated some visual interest.

    Second visit. Loved the food but didn't find the waiter's advice about the spicy heat of the food (really not that hot!) that helpful.

    The Cat's Pyjamas is every bit the Indian restaurant Headingley has been lacking for some time. Often quite busy but worth the wait, with a smaller more specialised menu than traditional curry houses. Excellent craft beer rotated on tap and lovely staff. Great meal out highly recommended

    not a massive menu but what was available was a good choice. Different to your normal " Indian " menu & restaurant, very authentic tasting dishes, spicy but not over powering. Décor basic & rustic but clean, then again, it's the food that you go for. Will certainly go again.
