Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

I thought I must write a review on the potting shed after a wonderful evening we had for our office outing Christmas do. Were we a table of 18 so quite a few of us, having organised this for the office this year and often had problems I was delighted with the speed, and quality of the food and service. It was a pleasure to be there and enjoy the evening so much, thank you to Kate Horsfield and all her staff, we'll be back next year.

I was looking forward to eating here after hearing positive reviews. Due to circumstances I had to cancel our reservation for two people. My second attempt to call I got through to Phil, who I believe is the owner. I mentioned I had already tried calling as I wanted to give as much notice that we would not be attending. Phil said he had answered the phone since 8am that day and that I can't have tried calling. We then said good bye and Phil thought I had hung up and went on to say 'My name - I answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week you F**king Sl*g.' Upset and disgusted I called back and Phil completely denied what he said, and informed me he was 'talking to his mates in his car about last night.' And a Happy Christmas to you to Phil.

Boil in the bag food i thought times had moved on

Great place to go if you fancy a bit of everything and don't just want one thing to eat. The food is fantastic very friendly staff, perfect for a all you can eat menu, would recommend to all to at least try it once and see what you think you never know you may enjoy it and make it a regular thing like some do.

This is the most incredible restaurant ever the atmosphere is wonderful the waiters/waitresses are really nice and the food is amazing :)

This was my first visit to the Aakash since it re-opened and the food was fantastic, I had never tried the buffet previously but have to say that it offers a fantastic choice and is well worth the price. All of the guests enjoyed the evening and will be returning in the near future.

The best Thai meal I've had! Set in a big bright restaurant by the canal in Hebden Bridge. I've loved my soup and prawn main. The Place was packed which must be a testament to the food!

Visited the restaurant last night and was not impressed with the main courses. Starters and service were good, no complaints in that area. I had a lamb dish with spinach the lamb cubes were so small you could not find them in the thick sauce, you did not know what was the onion and what was lamb. The sauce was thick and claggy and was no way all fresh and homemade. My partners chicken dish was again a thick claggy sauce that required further cooking to mellow it and refine it. The chicken was not cooked in the sauce but put in to it 2 mins before serving. After reading the reviews I was expecting more maybe a bad night? but I have had much better from a jar of pataks at home. The restaurant was very busy so people must enjoy it. It suffers from too many dishes which cannot be cooked individually. All things to all men, keep it simple but do well is my advice.

I loved my evening here. I have been many times and the food is always amazing, along with excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. Everything you need for an enjoyable meal. It is definitely worth trying, you wont be disappointed.

My husband took me to Akbars in Leeds because he had heard such good things about this place. We were sat at a table as soon as we were through the door on these very high seats, to big for the table. The waiters were not very friendly, it was almost like a cafe, get you sat down, get your meal, then out. The starter was very nice, but when we got our main course, they brought it without giving us plates, which were brought 5 mins later so our food was just warm and the plates were cold, when we told the waiter we did not have any plates, he did not seem to care he just said they will be here soon. There is just no personal touch with the diner in this place, and my husband was very disappointed as he was looking forward to taking me. Would not go again.

I first began to eat here after fishing for cod in the adjacent river humber. There are stunning views at lunchtime (and evenings in summer) over the river. My wife and I found the food and friendly service very good.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food at a reasonable price. Mama mia,s is welcoming, cosy and very friendly. There is a great menu with so much to choose from, you will be spoilt for choice. All the food is cooked fresh and tastes out of this world. There is a great selection of wines on offer, and the house wine is a steal at £8.80 a litre. So go along and find out what you've been missing out on.

I found the Blue Bicycle to be distinctive but not necessarily in the most positive way. The wine list was adequate with a number of Languedocian wines from Southern France. For a starter i had the fried baby rabbit, a delicate dish with a somewhat arid aftertaste, the bitter sauce was not appropriately in tune with the nature of the dish. For the main course i had the foie gras, unusual as a main, however, it was presented reasonably well, though the technique required to cook such a dish is not particularly challenging. The price of these two dishes was well within my range, and the service was curt yet not impolite. With so many restaurants in York i think i will be going elsewhere in future.

Just been to BoBo LoBo for our work Christmas party. A table of 14 eating at 9pm wasn't an issue for them at all, even though they're a really small venue. We pre-ordered in advance - a selection of starters between us which were all excellent, and a variety of mains. The fajitas were the best, the steak and ribs great, and the half chicken dish was gigantic (could have done with some sort of sauce or salsa with it though). We had loads of wine and beers and shots of vodka, and still only managed to spend less than £470 between 14 of us, which we considered a bargain. The staff were really accommodating, turning the music down for us once everyone else had left the dining area, letting us stay at and move around our tables so we could play some games, and being swift to respond whenever we required booze top-ups. We moved to the downstairs bar at 1am where the atmosphere was really nice, some people had a dance and others just chatted in the bar. Music was good and the other clientele didn't seem in the least bit clique-y which you get in some of the latin joints in Leeds. All in all an excellent night out!

excellent food good service and nicely priced with good quality wine at a decent price. a very enjoyable evening. definitely going back soon.

My partner and I went the first week it opened, It felt like walking into an Italian restaurant at first as the decor was unlike any Indian i had previously been to. But it was an Indian meal to remember, good service (apart from the waiter rushing to the window everytime a fit girl walked past the window)the food was great.

rubbish service, waste of money, cold food sent out. poor hygiene in the kitchen

staples...no plates... when was plates was dirty...... i will not go again.
