Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Definitely one of the best restaurants in leeds. The decor inside is lovely, fairly traditional but clean and modern at the same time. The food was outstanding, went for the Ayudhya set menu, £19.99 a head, including mixed starters, soup, main courses and rice, and coffee. The coconut soup was possibly the best I've tasted, in fact all the food was amazing. A good place to go on a birthday - the staff will sing you a song and give you a complementary ice cream! Very nice.

High quality cooking in wonderful surroundings. Would like see the dining room busier as the atmosphere was lacking, not aided by poor music. Big smiles from friendly staff. Wonderful belly pork & john dory, excellent chocolate fondant. May have stayed in the bar for a brandy if it hadn't have been so warm & smokey.

What can I say, it leaves all the other Indian restaurants in the dark. staff are superb, food is out of this world and with the new refurbishment would recommend to any one. I must like it ive been visiting this establishment for over 20 years. TOP CLASS KEEP IT UP BOYS

After being recommended by some friends from Shipley about this mind blowing asset, we just had to try. Arriving at the restaurant at about 8:00, it was just absolutely busy. After waiting for 30 mins for a table, we were directed to our table. There we was treated by the waiter special and enjoyed the night. The food is just the best. There is no better restaurant than Shimla Spice in Leeds and Bradford. They should open a branch in Leeds and would give any restaurant in Leeds some tough competition. Highly recommend this place

A really nice atmosphere, nice for even a coffee and a chat

Really really good! I'll be returning! Even if I do have to travel 100 miles! Very friendly, and a really nice atmosphere.

This place is brilliant, great food, great staff, Just what Halifax needs. By miles the best Italian restaurant in Halifax.....

The food is extremely good and really consistent. I think the main drawback (although this won't be the case for long) is that if there's a smoker (or ten) the atmosphere can be rather nasty. The dining area itself is functional, nothing more. Service is very good if you like things quick, but this is not the place for a relaxed romantic meal. But, let me stress again, the food is great ... really great ... I'm taking some friends there tonight!

Maxis Balti is extremely satisfying their food was delicious i recommend Maxis to everyone out there and the time it took to make my meal was excellent also the service was proven to be the best too and throughout all of my years of eating out, maxis is truly the best i have ever come across!

The very best in Denby Dale, food and service is second to none

I was brought here by a Chinese friend - proof already that the food is authentic - and was very impressed by both the service and the dishes. Well worth a visit.

First time ever been to the countryside the local folk where so intelligent and welcoming. Food and service great. We will definitely return! I loved it!! It was spot on!! Top notch!!

Fantastic Pub/Restaurant I will definitely be back again and again. Well presented home cooked food and very tasty.

Strawberryfields ceased to be a bistro 5 years ago when it changed to being solely a bar, still owned by same couple, it is a friendly bar selling really great cheap cocktails, absinthe etc, a truly independent bar- no chains here.

Fantastic food wouldn't go anywhere else. Been to other Chinese? but not a patch on this one. Rachel and peter the owners are very friendly make you very welcome. that good my mum goes every weekend. Once you've tried you won't want to go anywhere else

...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!!)
