Crews from North and West Yorkshire rushed to the scene on Old Great North Road in Brotherton, Knottingley, at around 10.15pm last night with residents urged to avoid the area.
Fire crews remained at the scene overnight as they worked to bring the blaze under control.
The blaze happened at the now empty building which was formerly the site of Thaal Indian Restaurant, which closed earlier this year.
It had previously been a pub before being converted into a restaurant.
