Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

We visited the Aakash last night, and it was fantastic. The buffet was brilliant however there could have been a few more starters! I think the deared buffet would be better. The salad bar was amazing, friendly staff, very cheap drinking & an amazing atmosphere!! Will be off back soon!

This used to be my favourite restaurant in the whole world. It had a wonderful lady maitre d' who welcomed you as if you were favourite relatives come for Sunday lunch. I haven't been back since the restaurant changed hands and a waiter stood behind my chair pointing out what I was eating. Now, I may be old fashioned but it appears to me that what you are eating should be self-evident. However, I had never seen lamb compressed into a cube and sauces served in shot glasses before. This was some time ago so I don't know if the restaurant has changed hands again. Oh, I do hope so!

Although originally from Mumbai, we are now living in Texas, USA. We are visiting my uncle and aunt in Shipley. He told us that he wanted to take us to the best restaurant in Bradford. He is absolutely right. The Faluda was one of the best I have tasted. The Dahi Puri reminded me of the snacks I used to have on Santa Cruz beach. The Chole and Puri were exquisite! I was told about Kaushy Patel winning all those awards for Best Chef and I am not surprised. Kaushy, please will you come to Texas and teach me your incomparable gift of cooking?

Was staying at the George Hotel and noticed Chilli Lounge almost directly opposite and decided to give it a try, the deco was modern, nice lounge area, great clean restrooms and the food was fabulous, I had the Naga Thakri with a huge garlic nan hanging from the nan 'Tree'. I ended up taking a 'Doggy' bag as the portions are huge too. Will defo come again the next time I visit Huddersfield.

If you want a great Greek night out, you must visit Othello in Halifax. The food is great, atmosphere and music fantastic!! Jack the owner makes each visitor feel special. If I haven't been for a couple of weeks I get withdrawal symptoms! You must try it, you won't be disappointed and will return.

we have been here 3 times although service is abit slow, the food makes up for it. we love it, the best curry house in redcar by far. really really good.

Type of food: Mainly meat/sausage/beef. Some fish dishes. Definitely a no no for vegetarians (limited and poor choice). Pricing: Very expensive compared to other Leeds restaurants Service: Friendly, but not very professional, as usual in the UK.

Excellent meal and excellent service. What more could you ask for?

great fish but did not realize they always cook their fish and chips in beef dripping!

Darlington & Stockton times review Gareth Dant » Redefining the rule book on how Indian & Bangladeshi restaurants are received In a small town already well catered for with Asian food outlets, any new kid on the block is going to have to be either exceptionally good or radically different in order to cut the mustard (seed). In the case of Aroma, founders Nij, Sammy and Atikul Hoque say they aim to make to a good stab at both approaches. Firstly off, there's the name. Ditching the familiar lions, dynasties and spice from the name of your Asian restaurant instantly sets you apart from the crowd. Neither does the tasteful refit of the of the Zetland Street premises (most recently Woody's restaurant) give it away as a restaurant serving Indian and Bangladeshi food. Comfortable high-backed leather chairs and an open and well-lit environment give a more modern feel than that usually associated with curry houses. No flock wallpaper, no stylised paintings or pictures of elephant gods, although the latter omission is an obvious one in a restaurant established by proud Bangladeshis. But once sat down in front of the menu, seasoned curry lovers will regain a comforting sense of the familiar. All favourites are there in the massive selection, as well a few new styles and combinations. The luxuriously large range extends right through to side dishes and breads, and vegetarians will not run out of options until a great number of visits. Indistinguishable, overcooked dishes are Redefining the rule book on how Indian & Bangladeshi restaurants are received too common among curry houses. But on the evidence of a few of dishes alone, Aroma is clearly striving for quality, and easily avoids the curry curse of the bland. This year Nij and staff have taken Aroma to a whole new level winning an array of awards, including best Newcomers Awards. On top of this, Aroma won Best Restaurant in the National Customer Excellence Awards, an outstanding and well deserved achievement.. Aroma has held two highly successful annual charity nights and this years event, , sets to be no different, with all profits made on the evening, going to The Mayors Charity for the Special Care Babies Unit, at Friarage Hospital. Due to the success of previous years events, Nij is using this as the perfect opportunity to launch his new menu, a combination of traditional Indian cuisine and his own contemporary twist, including lobster, muscles and venison. Along with the launch of their unique wine matching menu these brothers have everything catered for. With a refurbishment planned for this year it seems that this restaurant is set to go all the way to the top!

five of us went to the Bistro for a birthday celebration. Due the the credit crunch they have recently reduced their prices to £16.99 for a 4 course meal which was extremely good value. There was a huge choice of starters, main courses and desserts with the addition of either soup or sorbet. The food was delicious with large portions. Although the restaurant was very busy the staff were quick and efficient and willingly served us our desserts at the garden tables. We are already planning our next visit.

Very cool establishment. Thoroughly delicious food prepared with much love and skill (chef trained in a top cookery college in France). Friendly atmosphere - cosy and chilled. Brilliant place to have a nice relaxing lunch or unwind after a hard day's work. The bar staff are very very good and professional. Excellent service and proper ale (the way ale should be!)

This place is horrible, unclean toilets, food disgusting, worst Indian i have ever had, Not good!

i visit china moon very often , mmmmm... the waiters are very friendly and welcoming , the food is to die forr , splendid . i would recommend this restaurant to everyone believe me its gawjus !

The Dog And Gun has to be the best pub in the world. After a relaxing walk up the hill from Oxenhope Train Station you will have worked up an appetite - Thank God then that the food on offer here is superb! The service is fantastic, drinks selection excellent and the food is to die for. The spicy kebabs are amazing and the black pudding starter is beautiful. In fact, all the dishes are cooked to perfection. YOU GOT TO TRY THIS PLACE!!!

Why are all the reviews on here at least 2 years old? I went for lunch with some work colleagues for a fish lunch and they charged extra for mushy peas, the tea was cold and the staff were very unfriendly. Maybe the fish and chips were good, but amidst all the problems, they were difficult to enjoy. I suspect the once wonderful Graveleys has fallen into poor management. I certainly would never go there again. I would recommend Oliver's on Cold Bath Road instead - you can sit in too.

burger are to die for!

Called in on a whim on the way back to Leeds from Masham. The food was absolutely wonderful, I had braised lamb shank with minted mash and warmed brie salad to start. The portions were generous and the food was well prepared. Not cheap for a pub, but well worth paying the extra rather than a £7 steak in a chain pub. Will be calling in again.
