International Restaurant Flagship - Sticker Lane
Nestled along 254 Sticker Lane in Bradford, International Restaurant Flagship - Sticker Lane isn't just another local eatery-it’s a celebration of bold Asian flavors and a top-tier pick for those chasing comfort food with a global soul. Whether you're wandering in solo for a quick bite or gathering with mates for a feast, this place sets the tone just right with its cozy, casual vibe and a menu that doesn’t mess around.
Let’s talk about flavor depth, because that’s what keeps locals coming back. The Lamb Karahi Asian Style Hot is a showstopper, cooked with just the right heat level and enough spice to keep your palate dancing but not begging for mercy. If you're more into milder kicks, the Chicken Nambali-creamy, rich, and aromatic-is a dependable crowd-pleaser. This dish pairs beautifully with warm, fluffy naan or a bed of aromatic biryani rice, depending on how hungry you are (or how indulgent you’re feeling).
Now, for those who live for starters, the Mixed Starter Platter hits all the right notes. Think crispy onion bhaji, juicy chicken wings, and succulent shami kebabs, all served piping hot. The platter is ideal for sharing but tempting enough to keep all to yourself. Add a pickle tray or a couple of papadoms on the side, and you've got yourself a table that looks (and smells) like a festival.
Kebab lovers, take note-this place has Mixed Kebab platters that are meaty, flavorful, and filling without being overly greasy. The texture is just right: charred on the outside and juicy inside. If you're into fusion snacks, don’t miss the masala chips or masala fries. It’s comfort food reimagined, with the spices doing a happy dance in every bite.
Another reason locals love it? Options. The menu is inclusive, offering halal food, vegan dishes, and vegetarian plates, making it super easy to dine out without compromising your lifestyle or flavor preferences. Whether you’re sipping on a warm chai, indulging in a sweet dessert, or going all-in with a glass of beer or wine, the variety is there, and it’s thoughtfully curated.
Accessibility is taken seriously here, too. From a wheelchair-accessible entrance and toilets to ample seating, everyone gets a seat at the table-literally. You can choose to dine in and soak up the casual atmosphere, or just swing by for a takeaway if you're in a rush. Either way, the experience remains smooth, thanks to friendly staff who don’t just take orders-they guide you to what’s hot (in both senses).
Craving something light or just passing through for a late snack? The small plates menu has your back. And here’s something Bradford foodies will appreciate: this spot stays open late, so if you're hunting for a bite after hours, it’s one of the few places still serving with a smile.
Another underrated highlight? Their tea game is strong. No, really. Whether it’s a traditional karak chai or a soothing herbal blend, the tea here is brewed to impress. It’s not just a drink-it’s part of the meal ritual. Throw in some free water refills and you’ve got a place that actually values comfort and care.
With its perfect blend of Asian street food spirit, polished presentation, and down-to-earth service, International Restaurant Flagship - Sticker Lane offers more than just a meal. It’s a flavor journey that knows how to satisfy without overcomplicating things. The dishes are rooted in tradition, yes, but they don’t shy away from modern touches that make every visit a little surprising, in the best way.

Reviews
Our experience was truly exceptional. The ambience, food, service, and overall atmosphere were outstanding. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm and welcoming, making us feel genuinely valued. A gentleman named Raja took excellent care of us, ensuring our visit was comfortable and enjoyable throughout. The food was freshly prepared and incredibly flavorful. We ordered the mixed grill, and I must say it was the best I’ve ever had. The accompanying salads and sauces were perfectly balanced and complemented the meal beautifully. Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and we look forward to returning
The food was on point, delicious . Lamb chops nice and tender, butter chicken, lamb karela, achari chicken were delicious just like my mums. Our waiter Murad was friendly, efficient went the extra mile, brilliant personality and credit to the restaurant.
We went to Internationals for iftar, expecting a smooth experience since we had booked a table for 5:45 PM. However, despite our reservation, we weren’t seated until 7:15 PM—almost an hour after iftar (6:28 PM). To make matters worse, our food didn’t arrive until 8 PM. The restaurant was clearly overbooked and chaotic, with staff struggling to manage. We were eventually offered dates and water to open our fast, but even that came several minutes after iftar time, which was disappointing. As for the food, it was seriously overhyped. The chapatis were a disaster—not round, full of holes, and so thin they tore apart easily. They did replace them and even gave extra, which was appreciated, but the quality should have been right the first time. The curries were okay but nothing special—the butter chicken, in particular, tasted nothing like actual butter chicken. The pilau rice was hard and lacked the rich flavour you’d expect. The only saving grace was the starters, which were absolutely delicious. I wish there had been more of them because they were the only thing I truly enjoyed. To top it all off, the portion sizes were ridiculously small. For the price and hype, I expected a lot better. Overall, a disappointing experience, and I wouldn’t rush back.
A Fantastic Desi Dining Experience at International - Sticker Lane We had a wonderful dining experience at The International. First off, parking was surprisingly easy! From the moment we walked in, the ambience set the tone - warm, inviting, and beautifully styled with antique luxury touches. The standout feature was the stunning fish tank, which added a unique and calming charm to the space. Service was absolutely top-notch. A special shoutout to Anik, who was brilliant throughout! Incredibly attentive, courteous, and served everything with a genuine smile. He made us feel well looked after from start to finish. Now to the food - everything we tried was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. As an Azad Kashmiri, I’d recommend asking for your dishes extra hot or Asian-style spicy if you like authentic heat, as the medium Asian-style spice level was a bit mild for our taste. That said, every dish was delicious: the Prawn Karai was rich and aromatic, the Lamb curry was tender and deeply flavorful, and the Butter Chicken was creamy and perfectly balanced. Overall, a truly enjoyable experience - great food, lovely setting, and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to friends!
The service was great and Raja was brilliant. He was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Was the best server we have had there. There was a lady on her own and he made sure to keep chatting to her and keeping her company. We come here all the time - it is the best!
