You may not think of Indian food when you imagine a Christmas party, but sometimes something out of the ordinary is exactly what you need. During a time when we are all served far too many mediocre turkey dinners, dry Christmas pudding and glasses of mulled wine, an assortment of fragrant curries, breads and rices is a welcome change. Consider hosting your Christmas party at Dastaan in Leeds this year, and you’ll enjoy a truly special evening. The decor inside has a luxurious feel to it, with plenty of wonderful art and cosy, warm lighting – adding to the allure of the venue. Located in the heart of Leeds, you’ll be in an easy to travel to location for your guests.
Well suited for Christmas parties, the private dining room at Dastaan can host up to 40 of your guests, where you can dine in a secluded space that will become your home for the evening. You and your guests will also have access to the private bar, and so you can keep your Bucks Fizz flowing all evening long.
Whilst the restaurant has seasonal, special menus for holidays such as Christmas, if the regular menu is anything to go off, you're in for a treat. Begin your meal with a selection of starters for the table, like bhalla papdi chaat lentil dumplings with yoghurt, tamarind and mint chutney, the vegetable samosas and pani puri with golguppa, moong sprouts and jaljeera. Biryanis are served with cucumber and pomegranate raita, and you can juice from chicken tikka, hyderabadi lamb and jackfruit with mixed vegetables. The curries are divine, with options of chicken chettinad with curry leaf, the handi gosht with lamb leg, kashmiri chilli and garam masala, and pork cheek vindaloo with todi vinegar and goan spices.
