Excellent

We took 3 of our grandchildren for a meal on Wednesday evening as a treat. They spent quite a while deciding what to choose because of such an extensive menu. Choices made, we placed our order (mostly different dishes) We waited a while to be served which is fine as everything is cooked to order. All the meals arrived together, hot and plentiful. Nobody had any complaints at all about their food and all eager to visit again. I would like to add as a matter of courtesy that when the waiter came to collect the dishes, he noticed I was still eating so said he would come back. I really appreciate that as I often have to ask members of staff not to clear tables if some guests are still eating so thank you for that.

Visited on our wedding anniversary which I mentioned when booking. Table had been decorated with romantic items and we were greeted with 'happy anniversary' by staff. There was one particularly loud customer who spoilt the atmosphere a little but that was not the fault of the bar. Good food and well looked after.

5 star!

We eat here quite regularly, the food is fantastic quality, generous portions and extremely well priced. Service is always great, definitely worth a look if you haven’t tried it already.

This pub has gone down so much since I last visited it. Put it this way wont be going back there anytime soon. Bar makd asked if we wanted glasses for a J2O drink? Ordered sandwich with a portion of chips got 9 yes 9 chips. Not exactly a portion. The barmaid should rethink her career choice not chatted never smiled could not be bothered really shame because this pub use to be full and people used to queue up to get in

I visited the restaurant on Sunday 11th March and was disappointed by the buffet and customer service… I have emailed them and been completely ignored. I had visited the restaurant once before with a friend and found the food delicious, the service slightly lacking but the quality of food made up for it. I decided to take someone else to the buffet on Sunday (despite there being other Chinese restaurants open much closer to my home). On arrival the waitress that greeted us looked moody and pointed us in the direction of a table before vanishing. We waited at least 5 minutes before anyone offered us a drink, which then took a further 15 minutes to arrive (A small glass of orange juice and a small glass of coke should not take that long to pour with that many staff around.) We went over to the buffet table, with no staff nearby, and picked up plates ready to serve ourselves the Aromatic Crispy Pork…. a Waitress hurried over and rudely pushed aside so that she could serve us instead. (This waitress looked very grumpy whilst serving us and when walking around the restaurant. I have waitressing experience myself and believe that no matter how you feel you should try to be friendly and happy towards customers). When serving the rest of the food for ourselves we were unsure as to what each dish was or contained (labels would have been useful like many other buffets have). I assured my companion that the quality of food would make up for the rude staff and our difficultly at identifying every dish. However, the food was cold (even dishes that were kept under hot lamps). We both left the restaurant feeling highly disappointed by the meal and regretted not visiting a more local restaurant. My advice to anyone reading this is to avoid the Sunday buffet. The previous meal I had was good but unless you are Chinese the staff will be rather rude to you!

100% PERFECT FOOD .WONDERFUL STAFF . GREAT BEER . TOP PUB ,CANT WAIT TO GO BACK. TOP PUB .

Me and my wife had a amazing meal at this fantastic restaurant the food was so good and service was even better we cant stop going back and considering how busy it was it shows real effort from all the staff

My wife and I called in at The Mill House several months ago to assess it's potential as a venue to spend New Year's Eve and found the staff both courteous and helpful. My wife subsequently booked for the New Year's Eve 2009 function (buffet), at The Mill House at £48/head in good time. To show good faith she paid a deposit of £50. On New Year's Eve day, she developed full blown flu and had to take to her bed. I rang the Mill House, explained the situation and asked if it would be possible to transfer the deposit to a meal to be taken at a later time, when my wife had recovered. We only recently discovered the Mill House and have been looking forward to dining there and would probably have done so on a regular basis if impressed. I was met with a flat 'No' from the Manager, delivered by the Assistant Manager, who told me that the Manager had said we should have informed them earlier. I explained that you do not plan to catch the flu, that I did not want a refund but intended to spend the money and probably more on a meal, but this still had no effect. I pointed out that we have been looking forward to dining there and were a potential long term investment, but that had no effect either. Consequently, all the publicity about how magnanimous the Manager is on the Mill House website cuts no ice with me and, coincidentally, the part of their website where you can post comments does not work.

Best Sunday lunch carvery around. Home cooked by Martyn the Landlord. Terrific value for money. All you can eat for £4.50 & £5.50 for huge platter, £2.75 for children. Also Thursday tea carvery for £3.50. Highly recommended.

what a fantastic meal what a great pint once you,ve visited you,ll call again

Walk in greeted by warm friendly staff made me and my wife feel welcome, the food was fantastic didn't have to wait long for the food, all round the place was great.

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!

Lazaats is perfect for those who wish to try something a little bit different in a place that is a little bit different!

My experience of Alishaan has been one of sheer delight. The Food is excellent, well presented, and wholly edible! The "starter for four people" is very expensive, and we always give that a wide berth. However, this should not detract from the price of other starters and courses which are of excellent quality and cost. It is been hard to find a Restaurant with such fine cuisine in the area; this is definitely one of the very best.

The first thing that I must mention is the food - although the atmosphere was a little 'traditional' the food that was produced was excellent in my opinion. I live in York and the variety available there is huge - I came to visit a friend in south cave and he recommended that we go to dine at the Alishaan and I was stunned at the quality of the food. I think that the service was good because I felt welcomed and I must add that some of the waiters were charming and funny - hard to find!
