Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

What can I say? We’re from Cottingham and we come to Raph’s every week to eat. The food is always excellent, and the chef always greets us, coming over to our table to ask if everything is okay and how our week has been. You don’t often see a chef come out to talk to customers, and that’s something really special. He’s a real blessing for Raph’s and speaks to almost every customer – which is so nice to see. See you again soon!

Staff were pleasant and welcoming. The restaurant is looking old and a shadow of its former self as I remember it. The food was cold and flavourless not value for money. The starter was very small for 2 people and not value for money.

First time at venue. Food was great, staff were amazing. Service was great. Highly recommend.

Fantastic restaurant, food was excellent and very good value for money. Staff were all very friendly and helpful ensuring customers were well looked after.

Shocking website, out of date information . Rude and shocking service. Asked for water for the table for four and got one glass of water . Food was no better than a ready meal with no flavour at all.. Ten minute wait extra for the chips after the other meal came out. At 930 made to feel very unwelcome and more or less got told we need to leave. Wont return. Prices are daft money for the slop that was served.

This a a great Indian Restaurant offering some authentic dishes as well as the old favourites. Prices are reasonable for the excellent and the food isn’t oily like some Indian restaurants. The staff are lovely and I would highly recommend a visit.

Booked a table for two on Friday evening. Greeted very quickly and shown to our table. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and soon brought our drinks. Ordered a starter to share and then the mains with sides of potatoes and vegetables. Service was quick and efficient. The pizza starter was lovely and thin just as it should be. I had steak my wife chicken accompanied by the side's of veg and potatoes. Portion sizes are really good and in my opinion very good value for money. We will be back again very soon.

The cats were adorable and very clearly well loved. The coffee was incredible and the owners seemed very enthusiastic which improved the whole experience. I would recommend to everyone who loves cats and I am definitely going again.

Having had an excellent night at pie night we were very disappointed in Sunday Lunch. Had lamb roast, came on cold plate, swimming in gravy,therefore all on plate went cold very quickly. Lamb was very tough, mentioned it to the waitress and asked her for the chefs comments,never seen her since. Try across the road next time.

Absolutely wonderful place and a warm welcome we had. me and my wife travelled from macclesfiled and we loved it the cats are amazing friendly and playful food and drinks we very well priced and the a nice clean place we will defiantly go again .

Excellent food, I had a small plates, cod goujons, more than enough for anyone I'd say, three large goujons I took one home for my dog as I couldn't eat it all

Visited LeBistro Des Amis during weekend in Skipton. Lovely menu and food well presented. However my wife who had ordered the steak sent it back twice. First time it was over cooked and second due to meat being tough, even struggling with a steak knife. The most disappointing aspect was it was left to junior waitress who showed no interest to deal and no sign of a manager!…disgraceful! By contrast the previous evening we ate in the Castle Inn pub. Very good food and attentive service representing good value for money. Maybe the venues should swap staff for a day or two.

Food was well cooked and tasty. The spotlight above our table was not working as was the case with another one in the ceiling so a little dark to read the menu. Attentive and good speedy service. Quite pricey but not over the top.

We have had previous good experiences here but it wasn’t great this time. We waited around 90 minutes to receive our food . The service guy was aware as he kept apologising and telling us it wouldn’t be long. When the food arrived it was average I guess. Parmos were dry, as if they had been stood under a warmer (cheese was set and hard on top) and peppercorn sauce had a skin on top too. Generally a disappointing meal out, which was for our son’s birthday. We were a table of 5 so not a cheap night. In the 23 years I’ve known my husband it’s only the 2nd time I’ve ever known him not leave a tip. Hopefully this was just an off night.

Our mean was fantastic and flavoursome. We had the early hours special, which was great value and really flexible too. I'll definitely be back soon!
