Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

My friend and I had read a review recommending the Frenchgate restaurant and hotel and after a couple of tries of not being able to get a table, finally succeeded last Friday. It was well worth the wait. On arrival we were greeted like old friends and shown into the lovely walled garden to enjoy a drink whilst perusing the menu. Choosing proved to be quite difficult as to be completely frank it all sounded a bit heavenly, after much umming and ahhing (and another small tipple) I chose the delectable sounding hot smoked salmon terrine followed by a tian of beef. being a bit of a glutton I then had the lemon plate. such was the quality and brilliance of the food I am unashamed to say that I have been wearying the ears of anyone who cares to ask if I happened to know a good place to eat. needless to say we will be returning very soon and look forward to both the excellent food and the prompt, friendly and welcoming service provided by the owner.

I Wish I could eat here every day! Fantastic! Friendly, efficient staff and wonderful atmosphere.

Been here a couple of times & both experiences have produced excellent food & service. Granted it is one of the pricier venues in Hebden Bridge but the extra's make it worth every penny. Not exactly cutting edge decor but certainly well kept & who cares when the food & service are soo good!

great place , good food (large portions), reasonable prices & good service , friendly & informal with a lively atmosphere.

Graveleys in Harrogate serve the best and I mean the BEST fish and chips in the UK. The batter in just right and the chips are just 100%...there is no oil, no skin on the fish, no bones....many fish n chip owners should visit Graveleys..It is how they should be. I travel from London twice a year for biz and always go there...and if I am even up Leeds way or coming down the A1..Graveleys the place for me...Give a try you will be glad you did.

After ages trying to find somewhere to have a nice meal we stumbled across The Windmill. As soon as we drove up i had a good feeling about the place and i was proven right. The hotel is surprisingly large, clean and very inviting. The bar staff were polite and helpful in choosing the right wine for us. After sitting outside in the lovely large garden we went and sat in the conservatory for our meal. I am quite a fussy eater and only ever order steak pie which i did on this occasion and i have to say it was deliciously rich and tasty. The rest of my family all ordered something different and it all looked that nice i tried a mouthful of all of theirs and couldn’t get over how gorgeous each meal was. Then it was time for desserts with no less than 18 to choose from. The waitress described all the ones we asked about very clearly to help us make up our mind and we were all blown away as they were all totally scrumptious. The staff were all so friendly the atmosphere was very relaxed the prices were perfect. I would not only recommend The Windmill to would be diners but i would urge you all to make a visit. Oh - before i forget - you cannot leave The Windmill until you have sampled the millionaires cheesecake mmmmmmmmm. Many thanks to the staff for making it such as good experience and more than just an evening meal. Bryonie Gatenby

Expected very good things from all the great reviews we had read about Red Chilli. The food was outstanding - really really tasty. Unfortunately the service was pretty terrible. The waiting staff were surly, unfriendly & rude. Atmosphere in the restaurant not great either. Overall though it won't stop us returning for the great food!

Extremely good food, by far the best dishes I’ve ever tasted. Its is outstanding and i would recommend everybody to try the food here. I order very frequently here know and the waiter mainly Shammy are brilliant. The owner Max is a delightful person with a great sense of humour and makes anybody laugh! Great food and great place! Best in Leeds by far!

I have reviewed this establishment may times over the years, having frequented it in all of its 3 locations. Bibis is simply the best there is - anywhere in the world, in my opinion. I think its possible to have a not so good time there, if you get your food choice wrong or if you're going for a quiet date. But if you want top bar staff and definitively good service combined with great, great food, book a table in a corner, let the waiter know you know what you want and demand his attention and you CANNOT fail to enjoy yourself. The Head Chef is a legend and the front of house staff are exemplary. This place has no equal in the whole world.

Exceptional food and service, outstanding quality. Very fresh, beautifully spiced dishes. This was a real lucky find, spotted the modern frontage whilst driving towards Leeds. The staff were attentive and helpful, the decor modern and light. But the cooking from an open kitchen is the real star. The only odd thing was the dessert menu which was French patisserie, delicious but odd.

We had a very nice time. The atmosphere was good and the food was delicious - cant wait to go again.

One of the best restaurants to go to in Wakefield City centre, however it is a little pricey for what you get in the end. Lack of competition from other restaurants allows the prices of this one to stay high. It would be good to see more top class quality eating establishments in the city centre.

Maxis Restaurant and Take Away are well worth a visit. The Restaurant is lovely, food great.The Take Away is open late and it's quality never fails.

The best takeaway I know! The restaurant is outstanding too.

Been here several times and I have to agree with the posts made below. There is a decent selection of food to be sampled and the majority of it is to a good standard. Go for the buffet option every time as you can have as little or as much as you like (Never understood why people opt for set menu's where there is the option of a buffet) Definitely worth a try. I must disagree with the comment raised that it is better than Eastern Court. This is equally as good.

Great night out, 2 starters 2 main courses and 2 drinks for £28 fantastic

this restaurant has been turned around dramatically we used to dine here when it was known as the jinnah we understand the Bradford based saffron desi has taken over and what a job they have done the restaurant is contemporary beautifully lit and the food is great the best we have had in a long time

The last reviewer was correct - the less people that know about it the better for those who have been enjoying it for years!!
