Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Prashad is great! I live locally and find it great - it's a lovely little restaurant with more concern for good quality food than a formal atmosphere. While being just big enough to accommodate an evening out with a large group of friends, it is also cosy enough to get to have a quiet chat or speak to the waiters. It also represents very good value, and is a bit of a Bradfordian 'best kept secret' by locals and students alike.

We decided to give Brasserie Blanc a go at the end of May, dispite hearing 2 bad reviews from friends. First impressions were good, the ambience of the restaurant were excellent and the staff were warm and welcoming. I had the starter of the pear and walnut souffle and it was like rubber - it had obviously been made quite some time before being served and had been warmed up! My choice of mussels for my 2nd course was not available (i get the impression this is a running theme at BB, things being unavailable) I opted for fillet steak which was fine but nothing more than a good pub meal. 3 of us opted for a cheesboard dessert (£7each) which came on one plate and was scarce to say the least. Having been to many excellent French restaurants in Leeds such as La Grillade, where the cheese trolley is the highlight of the meal the portion size at BB was outrageous. Bitterley disappointed even more so when the bill was £50 per person!! Would not recommend this restaurant and wonder if Raymond has ever stepped foot in the kitchen or whether it is simply his name that this restaurant lives off. Go to La Grillade its so much better.

I went on friends' recommendation. Astonishing. It's a tightly packed little place with an unprepossessing frontage and a door opening OUT, but with the fabulous food on offer all minor quibbles are forgotten. The service is outstanding - "la padrona" recites all the specials for you in case the menu isn't sufficiently appealing, we had complimentary pizza with our starters, saute potatoes with our main course, and a free shot of liqueur. The food itself was freshly cooked, and you can see the kitchen staff tolling away in an area smaller than my kitchen at home. And the dishes were of a uniformly excellent, no really REALLY excellent standard - tasty, hot, plentiful and genuinely Italian. I cannot recommend the place too highly. I've been twice in one week. And I'll hope to go again soon.

The vensi was made by my dad and it taste great. when my dad had a restaurant he created the vensi.

10 out of 10. Good pub food, in a clean and lovely pun environment. The place is lovely and spotlessly clean, the service was crisp and correct amount of attentive the food was lovely. Ate on a Monday night and the place was thriving. Definitely coming again, probably this weekend.

Just had a meal, and was lovely. Was my mums b'day party and we turned all 25 of us and we were treat really well. The pub was actually quite busy, but they coped well and all our food arrived at the same time. I had delicious barnsley chops. Yummy indeed, most of the party went for the 'all you can eat' carvery which I am told was lovely.

I can only presume that we visited this restaurant on a bad night. The food was ok but the seating and service ruined the evening. We were seated at a table towards the back of the restaurant and it was such a tight squeeze that I had to move the table to get in and out of my seat. The service was S L O W. In the end we left without dessert and and asked for a reduction in the price of the set menu. We won't be going again in a hurry!

I loooooove Samis. I went there this evening for a meal. I will certainly return. It is not very often I will give full marks to a restaurant, but I make an exception for Samis. I started off with Falafel it is divine, I had Lamb tagine with Apricots. It was perfect. The lamb was cooked to perfection. The taste was amazing. I for one and my Hubby for 2 will become regulars at his place....

I am a Londoner and was visiting my friends in Bradford who brought me here for dinner. What a grand little place this is. I hadn’t experienced this type of Indian Cuisine before so it was all new to me. But boy, what a revelation it has been! The Faluda drink was exquisite! We also had Cashew-Nut and Corn Rolls, Pani Puri, Masala Dosa, Utthapam and Idli sambar. You Indians are sheer geniuses to think of dishes such as these. Altogether it was a great meal and well worth my visit to Bradford. My friends tell me that there are such restaurants in London. So I must try and locate them. But I bet they do not have a Triple-Award-Winning South Asian Chef of the UK like Kaushy Patel here. So, you good people of Bradford; give the Prashad a try and I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed.

When my friends asked me where I would like to go for a meal on my birthday, I had no hesitation in choosing Prashad as it has become my favourite place to dine in Bradford. We chose Mango Lassi, Bhel Supreme, Pani Puri, Utthapam, Coconut Chutney, Idli Sambar, Chickpea Chole, Kitchri, Kadhi and Kulfi. I have not eaten such tasty food in any other Asian Restaurant in Bradford. We also bought a variety of Indian sweets from the take-away section. I only wish that it was a little nearer to my home but never mind, that won’t stop me from coming again.

I'm a frequent visitor to Scarborough but had never visited Restaurant 55 so whilst passing it on Saturday decided to give it a try. The menu states that the 55 special which is fish, chips, mushy peas and bread and butter is £5.95 bargain, there was however a large option underneath for an extra £2 and being rather hungry we decided to go for this one! The food arrived quite quickly and the portion was indeed large. However, I'm not too sure what they put in their batter but the chips just tasted bizarre, I'm sure some people wouldn't mind the taste but it wasn't for me nor my partner. The fish was large but was covered in a very thin and greasy layer of soggy batter not how fish and chips should be at all. Also the mushy peas were minted but only slightly which made them taste quite bizarre too. We did try and mention to the waitress that the food had been far from good but she wasn't at all interested and just said "oh dear!" All in all the worst fish and chips I think I have ever had and then when the bill came seemingly the tea and bread and butter weren't included in the price...£9 for fish, chips, mushy peas tea and one slice of bread is far from a bargain. Needless to say we won't be going back. One plus point though the view from the restaurant is quite spectacular such a shame the food can't match it.

I have visited a number of famous restaurants in Bradford and enjoyed them very much. But the one restaurant that I found very impressive was Omar Khans. The food was outstanding never tasted anything like it and the staff was very polite and provided an excellent service. I think it is the best in Bradford and would recommend it to anyone who has not tried it yet! KEEP THE EXCELLENT WORK UP! 5 STARS *****

excellent food, great friendly service and perhaps best of all its cheap! highly recommended

I am not a vegetarian but I love to eat the meals that my Vegan friends cook for me. It was they who introduced me to this great little Vegetarian Café in Thornton. On the day we visited, the Specials Board had a Vegetables, Mushrooms and Almond Crumble. It was simply divine. And it came with a most wonderful salad! I award you full marks for your cooking skills. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I look forward to my next visit.

Not really a pub that serves food as such, but, if like me a decent pint of real ale comes as a priority before food being served, ( ie, - no decent ale, then I dont stop even if the food is reputedly good!) you can quite happily skip the eating and get tucked into a few pints of always available excellent ales.

Every time I leave Prashad's I think 'it really doesn't get any better than this' ....and every time I return I think 'this is even better than last time'. Simply the best food in Bradford, cooked by a magician. I took a new friend today who said it was the best Asian food he had ever tasted. I had my favourite pea kachori, and the wonderful uttapam, which manages to be fresh, light and filling all at the same time (how does that happen?) with a coconut based dip to die for. Yet another wonderful and memorable meal. If you have someone to surprise, love or impress....take them to Prashad's and see their delight.

food inside pub very nice - then into car park to discover sick in the car park covered up with a shovel of muck to try to disguise it making me and the wife feel sick too !

I am from Bolton, Lancashire. I visited my friends in Bradford and they took me to this Indian Vegetarian Restaurant for dinner. I have often eaten in Asian Restaurants but my concept of Indian curries was limited to the standard fare that is offered in these restaurants, namely balti, korma, bhuna, zalfrezi, Madras and such like. Then I had a look at the Prashad menu. What an eye-opener that was! Wow! Dishes such as Mango Lassi, Cashewnut and Corn Rolls, Bataka Wada, Bhel, Pani Puri, Masala Dosa, Utthapam, Idli Sambar, Sheero, Sev were an entry into a totally new world for me. We had a veritable feast fit for royalty. I never realised that Indian Cuisine could be so varied and so tasty. What have I missed all these years that I have been eating in Asian Restaurants! I shall certainly be back the next time I am in Bradford. Is there any chance of Prashad opening a branch in Bolton?
