Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

We haven't visited the Aroma since it has been refurbished but planning to experience this on Saturday 14.2.09. My wife isn't keen on spicy or hot dishes, but really enjoys the food at the Aroma, along with the excellent service and competitive price. I have been informed the refurbishment is the only change, everything else is as before.

I went to Catus Jacks, Doncaster because my fiance's daughter recommended it. I am from Del Rio, Texas and live on the mexican border. So I have tried Texas/Mex and Mexican versions. Wow were the Jalapeno poppers good. I ordered the Ribs and the taste was wonderful and just like Texas Ribs. The meat was falling off the bone. She ordered enchilada's and they were great. I had some wonderful margarita's and did a couple of Tequila shots with salt and lemon..Yummmmy. What a great place to eat if looking for Tex/Mex food and take it from a Texan it is great Texas style food. I'm going back this week for more. I brought some Texas License plates and will be giving them to the restaurant to put up on the wall. Richard

visited on New Years Eve 08 from the moment we stepped through the door we were treated so kindly and the meal was so tasty and the wine was house red Merlot at a very good price. this was our second visited and we cant wait to go back and take some friends, the best in Doncaster.

The food was very fresh and tasty, one of the best restaurants i have been to in a long time. I will definitely be coming again.

previous known as Kongs, under new management scince April 2008 - it is even better now! Wide range of food, which is useful for me because I am vegi, very friendly service, it's a must!!!

The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. The specials board is 2nd to none as far as I am concerned.

Prashad is unique. Each dish is unlike any curry i have ever tasted. Beautiful and unusual tastes and wonderful combinations. You just have to work through the menu and then return occasionally to old favourites. I fully recommend Prashad.

Subtle flavours, fabulous contrasts and a fantastic family all make Prashad the premier vegetarian spot in Bradford, chaat and bhel supreme are our summer staples and we come back to Prashad year on year from its small one shop beginnings many years ago. The surroundings may have changed but the quality, innovation and passion for creating fabulous food hasn't.

A beautifully crafted authentic Greek feel to the restaurant, complete with bouzouki players and a liberal smattering of plate smashing heightens your anticipation of some wonderful Mediterranean flavours. Othello doesn't disappoint on this front with a menu packed full of classic Greek dishes - good, honest, simple, traditional cooking. We opted for the Traditional Meat Meze. A starter course of tzatziki, houmous, taramasalata and pitta breads led on to delightful dolmades, kleftiko, stifado and more meat than a person should really eat in one sitting! An evening at Othello is just that - an evening - linger over dinner for hours the way the Greeks do, you'll be glad you did.

If you're looking for good food then this is the place. Do not come here for 2 for 1 £3.99 deals. Microwaves are obviously a part of this place but not boil in the bag. The range of foods will satisfy all but the fussiest. Its preparation and presentation will make you want to return time and time again. Ive only been at lunchtime and its busy. Evenings can be crowded and less relaxing an atmosphere i'm told. To be sure you need to book. You will not be disappointed

Beatson House is one of those little treasures that hide away just waiting to be discovered. We were there just before Christmas and its such a refreshing change to have good food and good service. Its not stuffy there just nicely well mannered. No mobile phones, no screaming kids. Only downer for me is the small car park but hey if your well fed you can ignore that minor point - McDonalds has massive car parks but it in now way improves their food!!

over priced average mix of boring tried and tested and very strange food, slack service, seems to be suffering from a more contemporary competition?

If I ever go to a curry house in Bradford, its always Omar Khans. The food is delicious and you feel very well looked after by the staff who are always very friendly and courteous. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, excellent staff and excellent wine!! Its perfect and the complimentary pizza bread, saute potatoes and free shot with every meal, makes it that little more special. Everything is home cooked as you can see that from the open plan kitchen. The staff are really friendly and makes the whole experience enjoyable. Oh and did I mention the choice of food! wow so much to choose from!!! I had my 30th party there at the beginning of the month and I knew that all my friends and family would enjoy it and they did, so it made my evening very special indeed. Thanks Stefano and all the staff.

Anyone looking for great food at reasonable prices will find a visit to Kendells bistro well worthwhile. Situated opposite the BBC centre and close to the Playhouse Theatre, the restaurant offers a pre theatre early bird menu which is excellent value for money. Our party of four was made to feel really at home, with drinks and unlimited supplies of warm crusty french bread served at the table, while we chose from a menu board which changes daily "so that the chef can cook what's freshest ". Three of us had a delicious salmon fishcake starter, beautifully served, whilst the french onion soup, which is a house speciality, was rated superb by the fourth member of the group. For main courses the majority opted for the Pot au boulanger, a casserole of belly pork, Toulouse sausage and vegetables, delicious and very filling- Chicken breast with tarragon was equally good. What little room was left was filled by Bailey's ice cream, a Creme Brulee, and best choice of all, a pot au chocolat, accompanied by a small jug of double cream, slices of strawberry, and meringue. wonderful. With two bottles of wine included in the price, the bill for four, with coffee came to £25 per head. It was nice to able to shake hands with the Chef, Stephen Kendells, before we left to thank him for a memorable meal. Mr Kendell's previous restaurants in leeds were Leodi's and Paris, both of which had great followings in their heyday. He deserves to have the same success here.

During a recent visit to Whitby i stumbled upon this hidden treasure. Myself and Grandma were most amazed by the pleasant smells coming from the restaurant. On arrival outside i was greeted by two plastic dolls. Inside however i was met by the restaurant manager a certain Lisa Notley who showed me to my rather plain wooden bench. As seen on the website this had a maritime feel and Grandma started to reminisce about the merchant navy. Lisa looked after us with drinks and then showed us the chalkboard menu. She seemed a little distracted and when asking for fish and chips she was confused seeming she didn't know the restaurant did them. A little disconcerting considering its a fish and chip shop. I was reassured when io saw through the kitchen at the master fryers at work. doing a merry jig as they battered and crisped the fish. Looking round i chuckled at the billy bass fish guarding an empty mayo bucket of tips. Obviously Lisa had been pulling in the pennies. All in all a fantastic visit and will definitely be coming back. Well done Lisa Notley!!!!!!

waited over 10 mins for a table...no apology for delay...prawn cocktail was watery and warm. sent back...was returned 10 - 15 mins later, more sauce but still warm. Waited over 45 mins for mains- complained to manager-again no apology for the delay- went to see where they were and miraculously appeared on table 10 seconds later!! where had they been. Manager didn't offer any reduction- in fact he avoided our table like the plague. Would NOT eat here ever again.

Wonderful building & atmosphere.... but £16:00 for two gin and tonics..? I should have known the total bill would be very expensive. Set meal for 2, 1 standard glass of house white & cheapest bottle of shiraz came to 115:00... for 2 people. I will only go here for very special occasions, if at all. The Cheung Wan chinese buffet was much better value for money.
