Where to Take the Family in Bradford for Sunday Lunch

Sunday lunch is more than just a meal. It’s a tradition that brings families together, creates memories, and gives everyone a break from the usual routine. In Bradford, finding the right place for Sunday lunch with your family means considering more than just the food. You need somewhere that welcomes children, accommodates different dietary needs, and doesn’t break the bank.

At MyLahore Bradford, we’ve been serving families their Sunday lunch for years. We understand what matters when you’re dining with children, grandparents, and everyone in between. Let’s explore what makes a great family Sunday lunch in Bradford and how we can help make yours special.

What Makes a Great Family Sunday Lunch Spot?

Not every restaurant works well for family Sunday lunch. The best places combine good food with practical considerations that make the whole experience easier for parents and enjoyable for everyone.

The Essentials Families Need

When you’re choosing where to take your family for Sunday lunch, these factors matter:

Space and Comfort: Tables that can accommodate family groups without feeling cramped. Highchairs and booster seats available when needed.

Kids’ Options: A proper children’s menu with familiar dishes they’ll actually eat, not just scaled-down adult portions at full price.

Dietary Flexibility: Options for vegetarians, vegans, and those with allergies. Halal meat for families who require it.

Value for Money: Quality food at prices that won’t make you wince when the bill arrives, especially when feeding multiple people.

Atmosphere: Welcoming enough that you don’t feel stressed if your toddler gets a bit noisy or your children need to move around.

Why MyLahore Works for Families

We’ve built our Bradford restaurant with families in mind. What to expect when you dine at MyLahore includes a warm welcome for all ages, flexible seating arrangements, and staff who understand that dining with children sometimes requires patience and accommodation.

Our story began with family. Our founders arrived in Bradford with just five pounds and built something that now serves families across the city. That family spirit remains at the heart of everything we do.

The MyLahore Sunday Lunch Experience

Let’s talk specifically about what we offer for Sunday lunch at MyLahore Bradford and why families keep coming back.

Our Menu: Something for Everyone

Our menu caters to the reality of family dining where different people want different things.

Traditional Curries: For those who want a proper Sunday feast, our Butter Chicken offers creamy comfort, whilst our Lahori Chicken Karahi delivers authentic Punjabi flavours.

Grills and Roasts: Our Chicken Steak Fillet comes with your choice of creamy peppercorn sauce or gravy, mash and mixed veg. It’s a substantial meal that feels special without being intimidating for those less familiar with South Asian food.

Comfort Food Favourites: Our Lasagna with “our own Asian twist” bridges familiar and new. Made with Desi-style mutton or chicken mince, it offers something different whilst remaining approachable.

Sharing Options: The Special Mixed Grill Sharer works brilliantly for families. It includes chicken breast grill, malai tikka, flaming chops, fish grill, mutton seekh, chicken seekh, and chicken wings. Everyone can try different things and share.

The Kids’ Menu: Actually Good Food

Our kids’ menu (all items served with kids’ juice) includes:

• Mini Chicken Burger with fries
• Kids Pizza Baguette with fries
• Fish Fingers with fries
• Chicken Nuggets (5 pieces) with fries
• Kids Mac ‘N’ Cheese

These aren’t afterthoughts. They’re proper meals that children enjoy. We can also adapt dishes for fussy eaters or specific requirements.

Vegetarian and Vegan Families Welcome

We offer substantial vegetarian and vegan options, not just token gestures:

• Vegan Karahi
• Vegan Stir-Fry
• Palak Paneer
• Channa Karahi
• Vegetable Pasta
• Thai Vegetable Burger

All clearly marked, all satisfying enough to be proper meals rather than sides.

Making Sunday Lunch Work with Children

We’ve learned what helps make Sunday lunch successful for families with young children. Here’s what we do at MyLahore Bradford.

Practical Amenities

Highchairs and Booster Seats: Available for younger children. Just ask when you arrive or mention it when booking.

Kids’ Drinks: Every kids’ meal comes with kids’ juice. We also offer milkshakes in flavours like Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Bubblegum, and more.

Flexible Service: Our staff understand that families sometimes need things brought out at different times, dishes adjusted for spice levels, or extra plates for sharing.

Allergen Information: We can discuss ingredients and preparation methods. Check our FAQs or get in touch if you have specific concerns.

Timing Your Visit

Sunday lunchtimes get busy, which is why we recommend booking ahead. Peak times typically run from 1pm to 3pm, so arriving slightly earlier or later can mean quicker seating and a calmer atmosphere.

You can book directly through our website or by phone. Following us on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok keeps you updated on any special Sunday offers.

What It Costs

Sunday lunch at MyLahore Bradford offers excellent value. Our kids’ meals come with juice included, whilst main courses provide generous portions that justify their cost. Sharing platters offer particularly good value when feeding families, and sides and bread remain affordable additions to any meal.

Quality food doesn’t have to mean expensive food, and we work hard to keep Sunday lunch accessible for Bradford families.

Beyond Traditional Sunday Roasts

Not every family wants a traditional Sunday roast, and that’s fine. One of Bradford’s strengths is its diverse food culture, and MyLahore celebrates that.

Why Fusion Works for Families

Some family members might want something traditional. Others might fancy trying something different. Our menu accommodates both without anyone feeling like they’re compromising.

Your parents might order our Lamb Handi on the Bone. Your partner might choose the Baked Salmon with Avocado. The kids can have burgers or nuggets. Everyone’s happy, everyone’s fed, and eating out becomes about more than just the food.

The Blessing of Eating Together

The blessing of eating together takes on special meaning during Sunday lunch. It’s when extended families gather, when grandparents catch up with grandchildren, when the week’s stresses fade away over shared food.

At MyLahore Bradford, we see this every Sunday. Multigenerational families filling tables, children excitedly choosing from the menu, parents actually relaxing because someone else is doing the cooking and cleaning. That’s what Sunday lunch should be.

Why Bradford Families Choose MyLahore

We’re proud to be one of Bradford’s best restaurants for families, but we don’t take that for granted. Here’s what families tell us they appreciate.

Consistency and Quality

We maintain standards because we’re a family business that cares about reputation. You won’t get an excellent meal one week and a disappointing one the next. We’re consistent because we’re present, engaged, and accountable.

Genuine Welcome

Some restaurants tolerate children. We welcome them. Our staff know that families dining out need understanding, not judgment. If your toddler makes a mess or your baby needs feeding, that’s absolutely fine. That’s life with children, and we get it.

Cultural Inclusivity

Bradford is a diverse city, and our restaurant reflects that. We serve halal meat throughout our menu. We understand various dietary requirements. We respect that different families have different needs and preferences.

Planning Your Sunday Lunch Visit

Here’s how to make your MyLahore Bradford Sunday lunch as smooth as possible.

Before You Come

Book Ahead: Especially important for larger groups or if you want a specific time. Sundays are popular.

Check Dietary Needs: If anyone in your group has allergies or specific requirements, mention this when booking or check our FAQs beforehand.

Consider Timing: If you have young children who need naps or get cranky, consider an earlier lunch slot around 12pm-1pm.

On the Day

Arrive on Time: If you’ve booked, try to arrive within 15 minutes of your reservation time.

Ask for What You Need: Highchairs, booster seats, extra napkins, water for children. Just ask. We’re here to help.

Don’t Rush: Sunday lunch shouldn’t feel rushed. We won’t hurry you along. Take your time, enjoy your meal, let the children finish their food.

What to Bring

Essentials for Young Children: Wipes, change of clothes if needed, any specific items your child requires.

Entertainment: Small toys, books, or tablets for children if they need distraction while waiting for food.

Patience: Sometimes service takes a bit longer when it’s busy. We appreciate your understanding.

Beyond Bradford: MyLahore Family Dining

Whilst we’re focusing on Bradford, MyLahore operates across several cities, each offering the same family-friendly approach.

If you have family or friends in other areas, they can enjoy similar experiences at MyLahore Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, or Blackburn. Each location maintains our commitment to welcoming families and serving quality food.

We also offer delivery in Bradford if you want a Sunday lunch at home without the cooking. Sometimes that’s exactly what exhausted parents need.

Special Occasions and Events

Sunday lunch often coincides with celebrations. Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or just marking a special achievement. MyLahore Bradford handles these occasions regularly.

Celebrations We Can Help With

We accommodate birthday celebrations with space for gifts and cards. We can help arrange seating for larger family gatherings. We understand that some Sundays are more special than others.

If you’re planning something bigger, ByMyLahore provides event catering for weddings, corporate events, and larger celebrations.

Making Memories

The best Sunday lunches become the ones your children remember years later. The time Grandad tried something spicy and needed water. The Sunday your daughter decided she liked curry. The afternoon your son ate three helpings of dessert.

We’re privileged to be part of those memories for Bradford families. That responsibility drives us to maintain standards and keep improving.

Desserts: The Sunday Lunch Finale

Don’t skip dessert. Sunday lunch isn’t complete without something sweet, and we offer options that please both adults and children.

For Children

Ice Cream in various flavours including Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Bubblegum, or Desi-style Kulfi. Simple, popular, and exactly what most children want.

For Adults or Sharing

• Fresh Waffles: Topped with strawberries, bananas, chocolate sauce, and ice cream or cream
• Chocolate Fudge Cake: Rich and satisfying
• Classic Cheesecake: With choice of plain, chocolate, or strawberry topping
• Falooda: An Asian classic with fresh noodles, rose syrup, milk, and kulfi ice cream

Many families order one or two desserts to share, keeping costs down whilst everyone gets a taste.

Why Sunday Lunch Matters

In our busy lives, sitting down together for Sunday lunch creates space that’s increasingly rare. No screens dominating attention. No rushing to the next activity. Just family, food, and conversation.

Bradford has always understood this. The city’s diverse communities each have their own Sunday traditions, and MyLahore sits comfortably within that landscape. We’re not trying to replace traditional Sunday roasts. We’re offering an alternative that works for modern Bradford families who want something different.
