Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Upon initial inspection, Salvos appears to be a friendly, family-owned, slightly classy Italian restaurant at the side of a busy road. This is just a cover. The truth is, Salvos was born to the sounds of thunder in a cobwebbed laboratory by some balding genius who had eaten too much Parmesan cheese before bed. It is a creation, not a business, designed to crush, destroy and laugh-at all the other "italian" restaurants in Headingley and if it had ears, there would be two bloody big bolts behind them. It's fancy, it's friendly and it knows it. Salvos caters to two groups of Headingley diners; people who like cricket and the parents of middle-class-white-students (or is that just one group?). A warning I wish I'd received before my first visit: this is not an eatery reserved for "sugar-daddies", those are their daughters. The service was experienced, efficient and convivial in all the right ratios, testament again to the genius of the Salvos "creator". The food, however, lacked the 'spark' that was felt elsewhere. It was as though, on that stormy night, when Dr. Salvo-stein watched the bolt of life-giving electricity pulse through the building, it didn't quite reach the kitchen. My aubergine with Ricotta and rocket was nicely smokey, but a little cold and was SCREAMING for a balsamic reduction or a citrus-y dressing to kick it up the bum. My main of traditional pesto spaghetti with pan fried greens was not-so-traditional and, instead, came with pan fried cream. A fellow diner's whitefish chowder tasted good, but looked a little like one of those Sunday morning, Baileys coloured puddles outside "Tequila" or "Tiger Tiger". I'm exaggerating, but honestly, if I were to go again, I'd just ask for a basket of the amazing complimentary foccacia (from the Salumeria?) and a bucket of oil and vinegar. Alas, it seems we have learned nothing from those gothic tales of artificial creation; we should know not to ask too much from a beast which has been built in a lab. Perfection is more easily stumbled upon than manufactured.

Excellent food, good atmosphere and very good service. Simple in decor, not like some of the larger more well-known restaurants in central Harrogate, but the emphasis is on the quality of food which is superb and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Reasonably priced, great value for money. Would definitely eat here again.

Hi i recently attended a meeting at this Inn - the food was lovely and service very good. The staff were helpful. the restaurant has recently been refurbished. It is in a lovely spot on Ilkely Moor. No complaints

i live near china moon so go quite often it is really good quality food at reasonable prices with a warm welcome and friendly service. i would recommend everyone to try it as theres something for everyone and the food is delicious.

Cant wait for restaurant to reopen getting withdrawal symptoms. Have eaten here since it opened, followed the guys from the Karachi. Have tried other places not a patch on the food you get here have been eating currys for 38 years. The onion Bhajis are ohhh so fab. Chappatis are so nice you could eat them on there own. and the curry yum yum suggest you try the Apna Khana style little more flavour and a tad hotter for those who are accustomed. Please open soon I am starving ( I live 12 miles away so a take away is out of the question )

Called to order a takeway. Bloke answered the phone, said "wait a second", and then left me waiting for 20 mins! Went round there - phone still off the hook and no-one owning up. No apologies or discount offered. I won't bother in future - Flying Pizza just as nice and much better service.

We've been eating at Thai Erawan for a few years. The food is fantastic and the service is beyond perfect. I had the Weeping Tiger which was beautifully cooked, my partner had the Duck Red Curry which was really flavourful, I will order it next time. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, it is my favourite restaurant in Leeds.

ate at red chilli on a busy Saturday night, party of 7, food and service were both excellent. Couldn't disagree more with reviews which suggest the staff are slow to respond, they were very attentive and efficient. The food was great - my only criticism is that the menu does not offer descriptions - so those less familiar with chinese cuisine aren't sure what they're getting - we had several dishes - some of which were what we expected, others were not! despite this they were all good, highly recommend the aramatic duck - my favourite dish, and the best ive had was here.

Just booked the function room for Nov - very helpful and friendly. Can't wait for the night now!

A lively family run Italian restaurant with a varied menu. Look out for the 'specials' for that little extra something in culinary terms. The fact that you can bring your own wine (for a small corkage) is an added bonus in these hard times. Try to leave a little space for sweet--these are delicious. A busy restaurant as a result, but with lots of satisfied customers.........

This restaurant is always a must for us whether we are celebrating or just want a fantastic meal great service and brilliant outstanding value for money. We have been customers for dining in the lovely decorated restaurant or a great takeaway for over 10 years now... The food is so nice infact we have not found a dish we don’t like. Trust me we have tried them all. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. So please take my word for it and go and see for yourself you won’t be disappointed.

Wow... three little words that describe three exceptional things that Prashad offers:- 1. Wow - Food 2. Wow - Customer Service 3. Wow - People

Food good, but when asked for star rating was told they have not been rated yet, but council says they are three star, but not forced to display rating.

Well what can I say! Fabulous food,atmosphere and customer care. Booked for Sunday eve at 6pm, by 7 almost every table was full,always a testament of a good restaurant.Will definitely visit again

The food here is fantastic, we have tried pretty much every other thai restaurant / cafe in Leeds but nothing has come close in any respect!! The staff are really lovely and friendly and remember us when we make our (v frequent!!) return visits. Jinos also provides excellent value for money and the new monthly specials are an added treat!!

This is by far the best Asian restaurant in Leeds. Akbars held the crown for so long but East has kicked it to the kerb. If you want quality food at a reasonable price with excellent service then look no further. Its a great concept as you have bars upstairs where you can chill out and drink before or after your meal. The menu is amazing with lots of different dishes. I would recommend Lamb Monty/Bhindi Gosht and for all you Korma lovers out there you will not find a better Korma in the universe. Enjoy, you will not be disappointed.

great place to relax and have a nice meal....give it a try!!

Very surprised at how good the food was. I had the chefs special - a very tasty mix of spiced minced lamb wrapped in a flat bread base served with a very fresh salad and a cooling cucumber dish. Perfect for a Monday night meal. The service was good and the place proved to be popular, even at the start of the week. I noticed that cocktails were a speciality but it was too early in the evening to try one. A good range of wines & beers served as well.
