Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

...having eaten in many Thai restaurants around Leeds including the very lavish and expensive ones I found Jinos to be the tastiest and by far the most enjoyable eating experience. The staff are very very friendly and make you feel welcome as soon as you arrive, because of it's location Jinos has wide cross section of clientele from young to old which I have found gives the place an atmosphere which is a delight to eat in, I have eaten there many many times and each time the service and the food have been unquestionable. I have been informed by my girlfriend who lived in Thailand for six months that the food is exactly as the food she ate whilst there! I cannot recommend Jinos enough and I? sure after one visit you like me will become regular patron to this absolute gastronomic find.

Absolutely fantastic. I had never had Japanese food before but I will definitely be coming back. The chefs provide great entertainment and the food was delicious - I particularly enjoyed the tempura and the prawns. Highly recommended.

I visited this restaurant for the first time on my Birthday this year after numerous recommendations from friends. From the minute I walked in I liked it, not shabby interior like recent Indian restaurants i have visited, chic and sophisticated, the lighting gave a relaxed mood in which we enjoyed drinks whilst browsing the menu. There were 5 of us eating and we shared poppadoms and dips for starters which were lovely and the waiters were very attentive. We ordered our main courses and with prior knowledge of the size of the nans, were careful not to over order as they are huge!! I had the chicken korma and it was just divine, creamy, tasty, the best I?e ever had and the nans were cooked (freshly, you can see them making them in the glass fronted Kitchen) to perfection. With persuasion from my mum i accepted the ice cream and sparkler and was highly surprised/embarrassed when all the waiters gathered round to sing to me! We had our photo taken by Polaroid and given it in a presentation card which was a very nice gesture, a memory now i can cherish. The only niggle i had was that they cleared up so fast you had to make sure you hadn't left anything on your plate you actually wanted! But with the amount of food on tables this is hardly a criticism, just efficiency i suppose. The total bill was very reasonable and i have been longing to go back ever since!! (i'm working on the boyfriend!!)

My family and I dined at Lazaat over the weekend, during their 'Monsoon Time' . We had a fantastic meal, the service was excellent and had a really warm welcome!

WOW! i think is the only word that can describe this restaurant! a number one venue for that special occasion or family day out! The staff made us feel very welcome especially the young manager Ben who made the evening very entertaining! I don? think my wife and family could stop laughing all night! This is a restaurant like no other, a real landmark for York! A great large selection of starters, mains, and desserts were available, with a good drinks list on the side. Very fun and affordable. I can guarantee you have not eaten pizza or pasta in a setting like this! There is no other! recommended first choice!

We popped in this typical town pub, with its very impressive frontage, for lunch on our visit to Hull. The food was enjoyable but nothing special and the only ?eal ale?available was John Smiths. A jukebox provided the music. Not a bad pub for a quick pint and a spot of lunch.

Made very welcome on every visit; the food is special, cooked with passion. Highly recommended.

I have enjoyed many meals at Maureen's and keep going back for the fine home cooking in all the dishes. My favourite is the ackee and salt fish. Whether for eat-in or take-away, this is a place to frequent when you feel like some sound Caribbean food.

wicked restaurant!!!! we love going there @ least 1ce a wk their service is of exceptional standard and food is unreal! would recommend it 2 anyone who loves Chinese food u get 2 try all different dishes for only a 5iver, also u get to meet RYAN fwoar! def sexiest waiter u;ll ever meet! TIP HIM!!!!!!!!!!

very good traditional Punjabi dishes lovely staff and owner very polite fish and desi chicken very tasty now a no smoking policy makes it more pleasant

This place does some excellent food. There's a decent range of dishes including some real rarities and the grills are always popular with the mainly (but not exclusively) Asian clientele. The chapple kebabs are easily the best starter I've had anywhere. Ever. That said, they're not for the faint hearted as they're crammed with fresh chopped chillis.

Best Chinese Buffet we have been to, Elements in Xscape and Eastern Court are nowhere near as nice as this one. Loads of choice on starters, and crispy duck included too, everything always seems fresh and always hot. A really nice atmosphere too and the staff are really helpful and friendly. Drinks can be a bit pricey, but worth it for the quality of the food!!

We booked for the restaurant at the Kings Arms, as we had family up from London and wanted to take them somewhere nice. After waiting for our table 40 minutes after we were supposed to sit down, we were finally shown our table. The man that waited on us was quite rude, and when we asked for another bread roll as they had not put enough out for each person to have one, he tutted and we were told we would have a 10 minute wait (for a bread roll!!) It wasn't busy as we were the only people in the restaurant at that time. The food when it finally arrived wasn't that bad, and the atmosphere was lovely and very inviting, just a shame about the service and the staff member that served us that night. The bar meals we saw them bringing out whilst we were waiting looked very nice. Would go again to try a bar meal, but not to the restaurant!!

The best in Sheff but expensive & a bit cramped

We have been eating at the great wall for 15 years its a great place to eat the staff are very friendly and helpful the food is great

Get proper tapas here. A long established favourite of ours. It attracts a good varied crowd and the staff are family friendly. A real refuge from the pretentious type of custom you'll find in the city or Chapel Allerton :) The staff are great and the atmosphere is close, so if your socially inept you might not like it here - the toilets are small and the tables are close. 5 star

I have eaten here a number of times with my best friend ; they've recently had a refit and I have to say, the place has lost a lot of its intimacy. Part of the appeal of the place used to be that you could have a quiet conversation in peace and privacy - now that has gone. The booths from the side of the dining area have been taken away in order to create a more open space and the lighting has been cranked up a notch. I can understand what they were trying to do - but when you enter now, you feel the place has lost a lot of its soul. The food is average but not spectacular and the service is prompt ; there's not much choice of restaurants in Brighouse, though - so until something better comes up, I'll carry on going there.

Great place if you fancy a pub lunch and want to take the kids. They do a kids menu for about £2.95 which includes a meal, bag of fruit, drink and crayons and paper. Separate family area to eat in. Lovely lavazza coffees made with organic milk.
