Best Curry in the UK and Nobody to Share It With. Leeds, We’re Fixing That.

Leeds has a large and growing South Asian population concentrated in areas like Harehills, Chapeltown, and Beeston. The Pakistani and Indian communities have deep roots here, and the University of Leeds brings in a constant stream of new arrivals. It’s a city where the desi scene is big enough to support a dedicated event but rarely gets one.

Garam Masala Dating is the #1 live South Asian dating show and singles mixer from NYC. Real singles on stage, live blind dates, two hosts, and a room full of people mixing before and after. It’s not a club night with a South Asian DJ. It’s a structured, funny, social event where people actually meet.

Yorkshire’s South Asian community has a distinct identity. The food is different (Leeds does some of the best curry in the UK and that’s not up for debate), the culture is a blend of northern English and South Asian in a way that doesn’t exist anywhere else, and the dating scene reflects that. People here want something that gets them, not a London event copy pasted into a Leeds venue.

Leeds Beckett, the medical schools, and the growing tech and finance sectors keep the young professional population flush. The challenge is that social events for South Asian singles are rare, usually community organized, and tend to feel more like a formal gathering than a night out.

We’re bringing the show to Yorkshire. Get on the waitlist for Leeds, or apply to be a contestant.
