Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

I choose to go to Prego for it's contemporary Italian dining, with a warm and friendly atmosphere. My favourite dish is the chicken pasta, delicious. Very handy for parking and good value for money. They even do an early bird option too which is good for the credit crunch. I used to live near Brighouse but I now find myself traveling all the way from Holmfirth, just to eat there! Definitely recommend.

Tried it tonight for the first time - it was excellent. We had the £11.95 buffet - what a brilliant and huge selection of dishes! Well prepared, very tasty and excellent value for money. Staff were brill as were the surroundings. Will deffo use again

Ate at casa mias in April of this year(2009). All the food was taken out of a fridge in front of you and taken to the back to be reheated. The chicken gave my partner food poisoning and he hardly ate any of it when he realised it looked rotten. The lasagna tasted cheap and like a microwave one. The staff were rude and unhelpful. After asking for water i got dressing put on my salad. We were never once asked if the food was ok. Overall a very bad experience will definitely not be recommending this palce to anyone. I used to eat here a few years back and it was lovely- obviously things have changed alot.

We also stayed in their accommodation as well as eating in the restaurant. The whole experience was fantastic, made very welcome, excellent atmosphere and the food was just gorgeous. Not that expensive either and we will certainly be heading back there. Impressive and could not fault any part of it. Even the breakfast was outstanding!!!

The first point to make is , this is a hotel . The food is none offensive and as diverse as you would expect for a place serving late night workers and regular diners . So i feel telling you what to expect with the food would be picky at best for a place that doesn't shoot for the stars . Its good but nothing more then average . An intimate dinner with a loved one? this might not be the right venue . The list of rules and regulations on the menu (designed for large groups i assume ) can make u feel very uncomfortable. But go and check it out , it doesnt claim to be the best , which could be its finest quality . There is something playful amongst the waiting staff that gives a warm feeling , almost as if they enjoy what they do , a rare quality in waiting staff .

The girls and I visited the new incarnation of Bellinis a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday night. Divino, as it is now called, is a welcome upgrade to this tired Italian eatery. From the moment that we walked through the doors we were entranced by the new decor. The lighting is eclectic and holds your interest, whilst setting an intimate scene at each table, the ostrich leather chairs and purple suede shout luxury and opulence, whilst the myriad of black and white photographs lend a familiar and chic edge. We were seated next to another table of five or six and, before long, we were aware that the gentleman hosting this little shindig was the proud and vocal owner of the establishment. Unfortunately for us, he ran the restaurant with an iron fist and the waiters were left to lavish attention at his feet, whilst effectively ignoring the other 20-30 diners. The gentleman became louder and more demonstrative throughout the duration of what was fast becoming a very disappointing evening. At one point his language was so bad that we asked the waiter to move us to another table. We were informed that the owner was very sorry and before we could say anything else, the owner was introducing himself and insisting that we "Beaoootifull Ladies" joined him for a drink on the house. Classic Mafioso gesticulations and feigned surprise when we declined confirmed to us the nature of the man and that we had made the right decision. Orders eventually placed, the food was soon at our table. Of the dishes ordered, few were more than adequate, with those reliant upon the chef's tomato sauce as a base, quite disappointing. The tomato sauce tasted pre-prepared and almost like a supermarket home brand pasta or pizza topping. One lady's fish dish was dry and overcooked, whilst the two pizzas were more than acceptable, with a lovely light base. Unfortunately, the pizzas seemed to share the same tomato sauce as did the rest of the food and gave us the impression that this is not freshly prepared food. However, the tomato sauce was perfect on the pizzas, if not on the other pasta dishes we had ordered. When we eventually got our "homemade" deserts the loud owner was creating more noise at the next table and it seemed to be the beginning of an argument over the services one of the other diners had supplied him. The language, once again, became very choice with the squat gentleman gesticulating wildly and talking even more like a Mafioso Don than Al Pacino. Shame really, because it just went to reinforce our feelings that the deserts were about as authentically "homemade" as the owner’s accent was Italian. He certainly wasn't Italian! As the argument grew, we declined offers of coffees and decided to leave the next table to it, going home earlier than I have in some time. The bill was a pleasant surprise; our entire meal for six had cost us little more than a fast-food joint. However, upon reflection, none of us had coffees or liqueurs and we had skipped other treats that we would have normally indulged in, had we not been put-off by bravado, bluff and swearing. All in all, we had a very disappointing night and are unlikely to be returning. I can only hope and guess that the staff are far more attentive and charming when the owner is not around and that they are left to do the jobs efficiently, rather than having to deal with complaints of bad language and lack of service.

We have eaten here a few times in the past and noticed the signs advertising new management and new menus and thought we would give it a try again. Past experiences hadn't been great. What a surprise to see massive differences, the staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was amazing. We decided to have one of their platters to share as a starter, wow wow wow, we had the Teriyaki beef with, mixed seafood, sweet potato chips and spicy chicken wings, with extra bread and oil. My wife opted for the locally sourced Ellison's sausage and mash and I had the homemade steak and ale pie, the portions were generous but it was so good we took desserts as well, all washed down with a lovely bottle of red from their new wine list. Now whoever is driving this tram shed at the moment really knows what they are doing. Food - Amazing, Staff - Amazing, Atmosphere - Amazing, Wines - Amazing, PLATTERS - OUT OF THIS WORLD. I will be back and back and back. Its so good to get fresh healthy unfried food all prepared on site.

Nice, Suttle, Authentic, and a very pleasant experience. Its one of those places that you get your moneys worth and u can eat very nice food for good value. A must try for those that have not. Ps * the balti dishes are Addictive* that's a warning, i have to take one back for the day after!

Amazing experience. the food, service, manager and also very warm-hearted and sincere barman. Hope there would be one Royal Eastern in every town.

as an italian myself, this is by far the best, brilliant atmosphere and fantastic food, will return time and time again, not to be missed. thanks for a brilliant night rico and heather :)

very nice food, very welcoming and authentic as it gets.

Having spent two weeks touring the Gujarat last year and eating the best curries three times a day, i can strongly recommend a visit to Prashad's. Fantastic, authentic, delicious. Thali-tastic! Thank-you very much too for your friendly service. Next time i will be attempting a monster dhosa which i will refuse to share!

I won a meal for two at the olive tree off this website :), me and my boyfriend went for our 1 year, can honestly say it was perfect! amaaazing food, we got the meat meze share 3 course meal, was lovely, so tasty, was so full I couldn't even finish it all which i was gutted about as it was such great foood!! Amazing, would definitely recommend it to anyone:D. Thank you!!

Completely horrendous. I took my elderly grandparents here for dinner, approximately 4pm. There was only about two other tables in the restaurant and we were still left waiting for almost 30 minutes before being shown to the carvery. I asked twice how long it would be and the 'waitress' barked back that ot would be 2 minutes on each occasion. When we did go up to the carvery there were limited, dry vegetables - we were left waiting another 5 minutes before the new carrots arrived. By this point we had spotted a big fly sat on the turkey so enough was enough! We left, and will not go back. Me and my boyfriend left this restaurant about 3 weeks ago too because we were left for ages before our order was taken. We ordered 2 carveries, was left for another 10 minutes then told there was not enough meat left! A shambles, completely unable to wait upon less than 10 customers, god knows what it would be like if it was full. Do not go here.

What a hidden gem! After walking with my little boy we stopped for a refreshment, we received an excellent warm greeting from the friendly staff. The choice of drinks was excellent with something for everyone's taste. The beer garden is amazing for the children with a mixture of activities for all ages. Would definitely recommend it to friends and I will be back myself especially for some of the up and coming events which were advertised around the pub.

Took about 25 minutes to get served, carvery meat was tough, veg was old and freezing. i saw a waiter filling up a tub of sweet and sour sauce from a huge uncle ben's jar. wouldn't return ever!!!
