Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

I'm not sure I went to the same restaurant as some of these other people! Disappointed is not the word, after reading such positive reviews. The worst Japanese meal I've ever eaten, by a mile. The tempura batter was soggy and heavy and tasted of nothing, the sushimi was awful. Only 2 or 3 different kinds of fish, really dull and very disappointing. And the pork bento box (we ordered fish balls, never mind) was just awful. Like cheap nasty takeaway Chinese. Japanese food is, when done right, makes you feel healthy and virtuous when you leave. This stodgy, greasy fare just make me feel sick. Certainly won't be going again.

A charming restaurant situated in an unspoilt, picturesque part of Yorkshire. The staff are very attentive, the menus are imaginative and the food presentation and quality unbeatable. We enjoyed a wonderful evening there before Christmas, Zac’s is first class for a relaxed, superb meal and excellent value.

As amazing as the original :) I left with a very full stomach and very happy.

Terrible food, excellent service. I hadn't visited the Pagoda for about 12 months and unfortunately this time round found the food to be bland. Its a shame cause I used to rely on this place when I fancied going out for Chinese. However, the service as always was excellent, lets hope they can bring the food up to the same standard.

We had our office xmas meal at the Cow Shed, although it was a little pricey the food, atmosphere and service was excellent. Its a shame there are only a handful of good restaurants in Wakefield.

The BEST Indian restaurant in Wakefield. Excellent food and good service. Speak to the waiters for advice on what dish to choose. We go about once every two months and try a different dish every time and have yet to be disappointed in the last 2 years.

Excellent. Definitely recommend. Although there is not much competition due to the lack of good restaurants in Wakefield this place is great. The food is to die for and is reasonably priced. Give it a try you wont be disappointed.

grapollo - WHAT A PLACE! classy, affordable, and food cooked with real passion. Great venue - brill decor and would easy cope with large parties if required. Best fillet steaks ever. huge choice on menu for everyone, be it vegetarians, meat lovers, or even the fussy bunch. Clean kitchen that is open and can be seen from restaurant. Finally - no boil in the bag sauces or ready prepared veg! very friendly bunch and holds a lovely atmosphere. My boyfriend is a chef himself so is very hard to please indeed! One of our faaaav places ever to eat now and we have become sunday tea regulars. Dont know what the dessert is like as we have never had space for one, but they all sound very tempting and look beautifully presented when we have seen other tables eating them

i didn't like it i hate spicy food and even there mild lemon and herb spicy chicken was to spicy for me, and there kids meal selection is also spicy it was a waste of money. we eat out all over and have never complained but this place i didn't one bit. also my 4 year old hated it cos they never sold juice.

Me and my husband went to Chaplin's on a Sunday evening was a very interesting place, different but in a good way. The service is good and friendly and the food was beautiful, and definitely homemade. The only problem a had that evening was the noise from the kitchen which was sadly too close to my table, the chefs must have anger issues as we could hear the shouting from the kitchen too clearly, it made us feel very uncomfortable. We will although return as other than that it was a joyful evening.

we fell upon amaans purely by accident, due to a falling out with my partner. and i must say we were pleasantly surprised. the food was fantastic, so much so. whenever we have friends or family meeting we arrange to go there. my daughter who lives in Cleveland also tries to come through to amaans as they too found the food to be excellent. we do go there 3 or 4 times in the month.

I went to Bibi's in April 2007 for my mum's hen party, we was staying in The Golden Lion Hotel and someone else who was staying in the Hotel told us about Bibi's, Well they was wright the food was to die for and the service was out of this world. I have never had food like, it was that good i am coming back to Leeds in March with 7 friends and we are going to Bibi's and my mum and her husband are coming to Leeds in May. The only thing i would say is that you can't book and when you have a large group you can wait a while however it's worth the wait...

just moved to the area and decided to try the Crosby for lunch. It is superb, the food, hospitality and ambience of the place, we now go every week. Really home cooked food which tastes delicious - try the sherry trifle!!!

An absolutely amazing restaurant! A menu with a wide range of choice, all made from fresh produce, outstanding service with a friendly face to greet you at the door and serve your table. As far as the selection of wines that are available goes, it is outstanding to see such a small restaurant offering such a great and reasonably priced choice of whites, reds and champagnes. An all round good restaurant!

A bad experience I'm afraid. Food was a bit cold and over-spiced. Nan bread was flat and a bit wet. Maybe we got them on a bad day.

The food is first rate along with the very helpful and bubbly staff, this makes for a very pleasant eating experience. Top marks to the management of this establishment.

Last time we went they had just hiked their prices up, and although it used to be very good value it's a bit overpriced now. We went on a Thursday and although there was hardly anyone there the service was terrible. It gets very noisy when it's busy at weekends - not a place for a romantic meal out.

My boyfriend used to go on about how great this restaurant is, but I can only assume that it's gone downhill over time. The staff have never been friendly, and looked at me like something from the bottom of his shoe when I asked for the leftovers in a doggy bag. The food is pretty bland, and I ordered food to take out a little while back after waiting well over an hour they sent me out with the wrong order. You can imagine my disappointment when I bit into my "lamb" only to find it was fish. After that we've never bothered going back - there's a much, much better Indian round the corner called Royal Spice which I can't recommend highly enough.
