Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

BRILLIANT - 10 OUT OF 10. Prashad actually exceeded our very high expectations. We were 30 mins late and unable to contact them, but even though the table had gone, they were still able to fit us in 20 minutes later. The food was fabulous, with a superb starter and main courses packed with flavour and not over-spiced. It was with the customer interaction, however, that Prashad stood out. Personal recommendations from the waiter about food which I wanted, not too hot, the chef coming out mid-meal and actually finding out if we enjoyed the food, topped with the most detailed instructions on how to get back to our hotel as we were so lost!!!! Where else would you get this level of service? Prashad manages to achieve everything which other restaurants only aspire towards.

Visited Prashad after reading good reviews online, and realised we had made a good choice when we saw the queues and how packed the place was! Cannot recommend this restaurant enough, the food was just indescribable! As a newbie vegetarian and ex-avid-meat eater, I am always interested in finding good vegetarian dishes, which offer exquisite tastes and textures without the usual, boring and unthoughtful vegetarian options you usually find in most restaurants. Of course I needn't have worried with Prashad, as being a Vegetarian Asian restaurant, their food was just mind-blowing! Every spice, flavour and texture worked perfectly together, from the starters to the main course, everything was just thoughtful, creative and delicious. The prices were fair and portions good - we definitely did not leave hungry! Even my meat-loving fiance was overwhelmed by the quality and taste of the food. So much so that, we agreed any meat would probably have played an excess part in the dish, as the existing ingredients were so perfect together already. We had the MONSTER DOSA to share, however we really needed 4 more people to share it with us! It was absolutely huge, probably about 3 foot in length and I almost fainted at the sight. Needless to say there was a lot of nervous laughter as we tackled the giant. Dinner was definitely not necessary that day! The staff were fabulous, friendly and energetic, and the ambience was great - plenty of happy, smiling faces enjoying their food just as much as we were. We could not have asked for more from a great little restaurant, and we have frequented many! "The secret to cooking good food is to cook like a mother" - I read this on a newspaper clipping on their wall, and I cannot agree with it more; well done for understanding something so true yet so often overlooked. Will definitely find the time to come again!

Went on a Friday evening with my partner, was very impressed with the menu, location and decor. My partner ordered a chicken dish but asked for pasta rather than vegetables and potatoes. The older Italian waiter (referred to on an earlier review) barked NO and seemed huffy when we asked if he would check with the chef. He returned and said that the pasta was fine and the meal arrived. One of the other waiters, a young lad from Barnsley, was extremely friendly and helpful but was hustled along by the older guy for simply doing his job (the restaurant was half full at this time). At the end of the evening I got out my Connect card to pay and the guy came over and told me rudely that I could not pay with my card as the machine was broken and told me to go out and find a cashpoint. The rudeness of this (alleged) front of house representative is appalling. He also kept disappearing outside and smoking which doesn't look good if you are dealing with food. Everything else is excellent. (actually there was no music playing which would have added to the atmosphere) My recommendation is to get some customer services training for this chap and get it quick

I would highly recommend this restaurant to friends and family as it provides quality food at affordable prices as well as having a great selection of wine.

I am sending in this recommendation on THEO'S because it is the best in all way's, the food the service it's all good try the liqueur coffees there large and great. we were there Saturday night it was spoilt by a couple who moaned cause what she ordered wasn't on the menu any longer, the owners wife was very professional and apologised due to it being a busy night, its an extensive menu, and lots of choice. THEO'S is a lovely restaurant run by the chef and his wife, staff are friendly too were going back very soon......

Genuinely one of the best curry houses in Leeds. A small restaurant with friendly service, however it is the quality and taste that stands out more than anywhere else. As part of a large extended family (who know their curry!) we have all been going to Raies for years, simply because we cannot find better, and definitely not at these prices. You have to try it out if you take your curry seriously, or you even just want good value. Superb.

I travelled from Newcastle to visit this restaurant after seeing it on 'Ramsays Best Restaurant' and I must say it was worth the 3 hour train journey. The food was delicious and all the recipes unique and interesting. Each dish was as consistent as the other, and I'd definitely visit again. Alot of people are put of by the fact that it is a vegetarian restaurant, however, the food is soo full of flavour it does not need meat, in fact you forgot you are eating a vegetarian meal full stop. 10/10 !!!

Wow, just moved to the UK from Los Angeles and this was by far the best meal I have had since moving here. The food was outstanding and the service was super nice and helpful.

great food

5 stars. No, 6 stars. 6 out of 5. Prashad does not serve meat or alcohol, 2 things I was sure I would miss when going out for a curry. But this was easily the best Indian food I've ever eaten, every bite was a taste sensation. The starter platter gives a taster of all the starters and each one is amazing. The mains are intensely flavoured, very generous in proportion, and fantastic value for money. And that's just the food. The service was 6 out of 5 also. Having arrived without a booking we were squeezed in after only 10 minutes. The waiting staff were extremely personable, courteous and knowledgable, telling us everything we needed to know about the food. It was clear that they were extremely passionate about what they were talking about. The icing on the cake was a personal table visit from the chef, sparing some time in her very busy night to ensure her guests were enjoying themselves. Overall this was not a simple evening meal, it was a real experience and a joy. My friend and I spent the rest of the evening grinning from ear to ear and talking about how amazing it was. Well done Prashad, it's easy to see why you are so successful. I would make many return visits although it is a bit far to come from Belfast!!!

We have just eaten a delicious meal at Prashad. Easily the best vegetarian meal I have eaten. I have driven past Prashad for years and could kick myself for not having visited before ! Every dish we ate tasted wonderful and the balance of spices was just right. We'll be back ......

We visited The Bon after my father had recommended it to us. Well its absolutely amazing to find a restaurant of this class so near to home. The food is incredible. I had the roast belly pork and the crackling was perfect my husband had the rack of lamb and that too was fabulous. We went for lunch last week with my mother in law and her friend and the lunch menu was excellent too. I cant recommend this restaurant highly enough - we will be back!

What can I say Wow, After seeing Prashad on Gordon Ramsay I booked a table between the ad break I was very excited. We arrived and took a seat in the waiting room, a few mins later Six of us sat and ordered drinks and tucked into the best pickle tray every we knew then we were up for a taste sensation. We left our order up to them as we couldn't make a decision and we were not disappointed. again the main course wow the flavours spices freshness of the food we had some real meat eaters at our table and no one missed meat at all we will definitely be back again soon, thanks so much for a fantastic birthday to remember x

A great restaurant in ALL respects. We booked a table for 6 people and asked the waiter to choose for us so we got chance to sample a wide range of dishes. All unique and different from the usual Indian cuisine we are familiar with. Even the dedicated carnivores were very pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian delights. All staff were pleasant and professional. Great to have a chat with the Chef and Owner too. We will definitely return soon and drive the 30 minutes to collect a take-away. In a word; Magnificent.

As a meat lover I was only persuaded to visit this restaurant for a friends birthday. However I am very glad that they did! The food was outstanding as was the service. If all vegetarian food tasted this good I would definitely eat it more often! I would particularly recommend the Chick pea Chole and the Bhinda dishes. I don't normally eat desserts but I thought I'd try them here and see what they were like. I would definitely have both the Carrot Cake and the Mango Shikand! Overall we thought the whole meal was amazing, needless to say we will all be going back!

Excellent service and great food. Use it for takeaway all the time and have always felt welcomed when eating there too.

I've been eating here for about 10 years and I always enjoy the food; and I love the fact the staff recognise me when I walk in. Service is everything!

Fantastically good food and ambiance. You won't be disappointed.
