Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

After driving past this bistro many times we decided to try it as the exterior is very impressive. We have never been so disappointed! The limited menu seemed to boast high quality dishes at matching prices. This was not the case. Most of the food was frozen, chunky chips etc. We ordered a mixed starter with vegetable tempura, It consisted of frozen wedges, 3 samosas, 2 spring rolls and a bit of salad with dips for £9.50!!! NO TEMPURA, apparently they had run out, of what, I don't know? Vegetables and a bit of batter?? Oh Sorry it can't have been fresh, they must have been all out of frozen tempura at the cash and carry! My son's grilled chicken was so dry and overcooked that he was still chewing it when we got home. The rice we were brought was, frankly, disgusting (half raw and half mush). All in all this eating experience would probably have been inevitable in a food pub chain but certainly not representative of the image and pricing of this particular restaurant.

We have been trying to track down the chef originally from The Blue Bicycle for quite some time and last week we found him, the new owner of Ate O'Clock. We had a wonderful evening helped by the fact that the staff were extremely friendly and efficient, the atmosphere was great and the food fantastic. The owner/chef is extremely attentive and helps to make you feel very special. Go and have a look...The best chef in York!! In our opinion the best chef in York...Go and have a look...

dreadful do not eat in this have no idea how to cook food

We have eaten here many times and it is absolutely fantastic. We have never had a poor meal or bad service. The staff are attentive, without being overbearing, and the ambience is excellent. You will have to book in advance for a weekend table - once you have been you will know why. A truly excellent dining experience.

I am fortunate enough to travel extensively around the world,but coming home is always a pleasure and gilded by a meal at the Moorland Lodge.The food is a treat,always fresh, with those English ingredients that ignorantly get derided in certain quarters.The ambiance and homely feeling of the restaurant are such, that it is almost as pleasant experience as the food itself,expertly managed,as are the attentive young staff,by the owner herself,Mary. Get to the top of the Peninnes and indulge yourself in the very best of English food. Dave Collick (Dec.2007)

It does the best pizzas i've tasted anywhere that I remember. Its also good value for what you get which is often a huge pizza with many toppings served fresh. I too highly recommend Prago to anyone who appreciates good fresh food.

Not been to the mustard pot in years, met an old friend the other day and wow what a transformation, not only are the bad old days of a troubled venue gone, but the place looks swish and serves great food especially the sunday lunch! glad I went back in

we just had our office Christmas dinner at the potting shed and thought it was wonderful. Such a beautiful place next to the stream at night, amazingly large Christmas tree, apparently from the field behind the Potting shed as there is a garden centre/nursery opposite. Great food, lovely service and nice selection of wine! We thank you very much.

I thought I must write a review on the potting shed after a wonderful evening we had for our office outing Christmas do. Were we a table of 18 so quite a few of us, having organised this for the office this year and often had problems I was delighted with the speed, and quality of the food and service. It was a pleasure to be there and enjoy the evening so much, thank you to Kate Horsfield and all her staff, we'll be back next year.

Boil in the bag food i thought times had moved on

I was looking forward to eating here after hearing positive reviews. Due to circumstances I had to cancel our reservation for two people. My second attempt to call I got through to Phil, who I believe is the owner. I mentioned I had already tried calling as I wanted to give as much notice that we would not be attending. Phil said he had answered the phone since 8am that day and that I can't have tried calling. We then said good bye and Phil thought I had hung up and went on to say 'My name - I answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week you F**king Sl*g.' Upset and disgusted I called back and Phil completely denied what he said, and informed me he was 'talking to his mates in his car about last night.' And a Happy Christmas to you to Phil.

Great place to go if you fancy a bit of everything and don't just want one thing to eat. The food is fantastic very friendly staff, perfect for a all you can eat menu, would recommend to all to at least try it once and see what you think you never know you may enjoy it and make it a regular thing like some do.

This is the most incredible restaurant ever the atmosphere is wonderful the waiters/waitresses are really nice and the food is amazing :)

The best Thai meal I've had! Set in a big bright restaurant by the canal in Hebden Bridge. I've loved my soup and prawn main. The Place was packed which must be a testament to the food!

This was my first visit to the Aakash since it re-opened and the food was fantastic, I had never tried the buffet previously but have to say that it offers a fantastic choice and is well worth the price. All of the guests enjoyed the evening and will be returning in the near future.

Visited the restaurant last night and was not impressed with the main courses. Starters and service were good, no complaints in that area. I had a lamb dish with spinach the lamb cubes were so small you could not find them in the thick sauce, you did not know what was the onion and what was lamb. The sauce was thick and claggy and was no way all fresh and homemade. My partners chicken dish was again a thick claggy sauce that required further cooking to mellow it and refine it. The chicken was not cooked in the sauce but put in to it 2 mins before serving. After reading the reviews I was expecting more maybe a bad night? but I have had much better from a jar of pataks at home. The restaurant was very busy so people must enjoy it. It suffers from too many dishes which cannot be cooked individually. All things to all men, keep it simple but do well is my advice.

I loved my evening here. I have been many times and the food is always amazing, along with excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. Everything you need for an enjoyable meal. It is definitely worth trying, you wont be disappointed.

My husband took me to Akbars in Leeds because he had heard such good things about this place. We were sat at a table as soon as we were through the door on these very high seats, to big for the table. The waiters were not very friendly, it was almost like a cafe, get you sat down, get your meal, then out. The starter was very nice, but when we got our main course, they brought it without giving us plates, which were brought 5 mins later so our food was just warm and the plates were cold, when we told the waiter we did not have any plates, he did not seem to care he just said they will be here soon. There is just no personal touch with the diner in this place, and my husband was very disappointed as he was looking forward to taking me. Would not go again.
