Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

On our visit to York 20/10/06 we found this amazing restaurant and can't recommend it enough! The food, service & setting were just the best ever, if you have never been here then you must GO and see what you are missing out on!!! Fantastic many thanks and see you again!

Having blown my weekly wages at Bretts fish shop round the corner my boyfriend Nicholas Ronald Hickley III and I visited dare cafe for a romantic meal. We found the restaurant to be slightly expensive, but all in all a magical experience! The atmosphere was electric, and although the food was only acceptable as the evening drew to a close my boyfriend felt a tear come to his eye. All in all great place, acceptable food

I thought it was a great pub food and service was very good could ask for much more.

I've known about Boutique for about a year now, can't quite believe all these people who are just finding out about it now! Kind of wished they weren't, it is an awesome bar! Everyone seems to be talking about the cocktails and forgetting about the variety of bottled beers they do. Beers from every corner of the world. Those wanting a pint of Carling or Stella, or any other horrendous chav drink, need not come in and ruin my favourite bar in Leeds!

This place is excellent. Max is the nicest restaurant owner that Ive met so far in Leeds. And his favourite dish, the Achari Gosht is fantastic. Im a vindaloo lover myself but I thought Id give it a whirl and it didnt disappoint. It was spicy and yet tasty all at once. Ive also had a take away from there previously. Max knocked me up a chicken tindaloo which was the hottest thing Ive ever tasted. Nowhere in Leeds, that Ive found, does a hotter curry, it was superb! Id fully recommend this restaurant.

Frankie and Bennies is an Italian style chain restaurant. The food is good but but the music really started to grate when I visited. It's quite loud and they had the same 60s CD on loop the entire time I was there.

I held my husband's surprise 30th birthday party at Boutique, and the night couldn't have gone better. Upstairs is a great party venue . The staff are friendly and professional, the food was great, and the cocktails are AMAZING!! Top bar.

I have recently eaten in and had takeaway from Jinos Thai Cafe in Guiseley and on both occasions the food was outstanding. The service was great too, and the staff did all they could to accommodate my 5 month old son in his pram. For great Thai food it has to be Jinos.

Shimla Spice is fantastic me and my husband go every other week. The staff are our friends the food is gorgeous and the atmosphere brill, we really look forward to our visits there. I wish them all the best for the Shipley restaurant and hope to see them on Monday 30th with CHICO LISA AND MICHAEL SIDDLE XXXX

I went to this restaurant on a Wednesday night, thinking that there would be plenty of tables available, but to my surprise the restaurant was busy with only a few tables left (always a good sign!) The service was very good and the food was the tastiest Thai that I have had for a long time. I will certainly be going for another meal here soon. The food was very good value too - Three main courses, 2 desserts, 3 coffees and a bottle of wine for under £50.00.

This is by far the best Thai restaurant in Yorkshire, and believe me I have probably tried them all! The service is always excellent with very pleasant staff! If you are visiting Ripon I strongly recommend you visit this restaurant.

Fantastic Value carvery. Not somewhere for a "special occasion" perhaps, but excellent value. £3.95 last time I went.

I agree with the preceding positive comments about the food and service, both of which are very good, but older diners like myself should note that the comments about the "great atmosphere" really mean that it is incredibly noisy and those who want to indulge in pleasant conversation with their partner should look elsewhere.

Good staff and good surroundings.

Overall good ratings on the food and ambiance except there is a middle age lady whom is very aggressive in serving customer. Recommendation: To be a value for money and posh Chinese buffet restaurant, banana leaf should have more gentle and smiling faces around

I didn't think it possible but this restaurant beats the Aagrah into a hat! I have been several times and the quality of food and service is always excellent. Their nan bread served on a "tree" is something to see. Exceptional value for money, and a must for either casual dining or a bit of a do! Go try it1

Just discovered Boutique! It's the most gorgeous cocktail bar with really yummy bar staff, and best of all - they have a 'Twilight Zone' from 5-7pm every weekday night, where they give you a free cocktail everytime you buy one! The cocktails were so delicious we ended up staying most of the night...

I was not a big fan of Indian food until I went to Aagrah. The food is so fresh, and a good selection of dishes, the staff are always friendly and welcoming, service is impeccable. I have become an Aagrah-phile and go as often as possible.
