Curry Express Steam Train Blends Dining, Music, and Yorkshire Dales Scenery


A themed evening journey on the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway is offering passengers a unique Curry Express experience combining scenic steam travel with authentic Indian cuisine. Departing from Bolton Abbey station, the service travels through the Yorkshire Dales before returning for an evening of food and entertainment.


Guests are served freshly prepared curry meals supplied by Mastabs Restaurant in Skipton while traveling in First Class Dales Dining carriages. Menu options include chicken, lamb, and vegetable curry, accompanied by pilau rice, naan bread, and poppadoms, all enjoyed in reserved seating with panoramic countryside views.


After the return to Bolton Abbey, passengers can relax, view the steam locomotive, and enjoy live music in a marquee setting. The post-journey entertainment adds a social element to the experience, with opportunities for guests to unwind and extend their evening.


The approximately three-hour-and-fifteen-minute experience is designed for comfort and accessibility, with onboard drinks available from a licensed bar. Suitable for couples, groups, and solo travelers, the Curry Express combines dining, heritage rail travel, and live entertainment against the backdrop of the Yorkshire countryside.

Amazing food and great service in the heart of Dublin. We ordered tandoori chicken, Nihari, butter chicken and chicken biryani. All items were delicious and authentic. The super pleasant hostess even gave us dessert on the house since we were travelling. Overall great experience.

The interior is really cozy (I loved the glass mosaic tiling), although some of the chairs can be a bit cramped, and with four full meals, the table gets full pretty quickly. Maybe a coat hanger or something similar wouldn't be a bad idea, especially with some of the chairs against the wall (where I was lucky enough to sit, and so I couldn't hang my backpack or coat on the back of the chair, or even put it next to me). The food is tasty and pleasantly spicy, the portions are large. I think the cheese naan is brilliant. The lady serving us was really nice.

I love this place, the food is amazing, delicious! Lovely lady. If you ask for no spice (mild) she will arrange it, just ask. And they give large portions! Too bad i live in the netherlands, i would eat here often!;)
