Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

I went out with a few friends to this place and was appalled by how cold the food was and when told about it they simply said they would heat it back up which probably meant the microwave. Also waiters more bothered about tips than customer service.

Absolutely rubbish - and after the cold food the waiters had the gall to ask for a tip!!! Definitely wouldn't recommend it.

top quality food always satisfied with the special attention we get .always fit you in short notice, don't know how,advise phone to book saves a wait, regulars Sunday, and though the week.

the best buffet i have ever been to,once you go "you will" be a regular, the place is spotlessly clean, the food is sheer quality, not the usual buffet junk ,plenty of choice in starters main and desserts,my favourites are the fish starters which are very fresh and mouthwatering, also the gorgeous homemade trifle so , if u want my advice - go to aakash 4 a feast you will leave extremely satisfied and fat bellied , signed the steady family .....

My wife and I ate at Sandinista midweek just recently. To say its January, the place was pretty busy and with the ambient lighting from candles in old rum bottles, excellent background music and the buzz of other customers combined to make it very atmospheric. I opted for sizzling fajitas whilst my wife had a selection of 3 tapas dishes. Both were quite excellent and couldn't be faulted! The service was friendly and relaxed - none of your drilled in, auto pilot 3 minute check back nonsense. Just genuinely natural and welcoming. And as a bonus just as we finished up a really good guitarist started which persuaded us to stay on a for a mojito or two despite it being a school night! Highly recommended!!

We're lucky enough to live fairly near this restaurant. Food is always delicious, and staff always friendly and welcoming. The newly-extended building has created a large dining area, but because of the clever design, it isn't at all overwhelming. Thoroughly recommend.

This is the best curry house in Leeds and Bradford. It is a bring-your-own alcohol restaurant, and you can bring drinks in from the pub next door. Abdul, Reg and the rest of his family are great. Don't just stick to the regular dishes, try the fish and liver dishes, they are delicious. You are never meant to feel rushed (unlike some other restaurant chains). As a regular curry eater for over 30 years, this is the best you can get.

Warm friendly surroundings, the food was exquisite, and so reasonable!! David was helpful, knowledgeable and hit the right balance between professionalism and familiarity, no mean feat!Have recommended to friends and would have no hesitation in encouraging anyone to try. A marvellous experience

They made us very welcome and provided high chairs and special Gluten Free meal for one of our family. Huge portions, very tasty food. We popped in for a snack and stayed over 2 hours. Definitely go back there - thanks for the recommendation

Truly awful. One of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. We felt pressured to hurry and leave from the moment we sat down. Surly waiters hovering around the table trying to take plates before each course was finished. Even after asking them to stop they still pounced as soon as we'd finished (and I mean before the cutlery hit the plate). Our waiter brought out our main course while we were still eating our starters and insisted on shoving it onto the table. I asked him to wait and he said "I'll give you 2 minutes". Obviously, that went down like a lead balloon. Never going again. I eat out regularly and I'm not hung up on service generally as waiting staff, like all of us, have a myriad of faults, but this place was simply terrible... the food was actually quite nice but enjoying it in that environment is impossible. Awful.

This is one of our favourite Indian restaurants in Bradford and we try and dine here as often as we can. We are always accorded a very warm welcome and offered a first rate service. The food is always top-notch. We have several favourite dishes, so we tend to alternate choosing from baingan bhajia, bataka wada, bhel supreme and pani puri for our starters and masala dosa, utthapam, idli sambar, zucchini and peas and the aubergine dish for our main courses.

I enjoyed the 3 course set menu for £10. Fantastic value and quality. No plastic pre packed food in sight. Won't be going back to a Toby carvery again after enjoying this place.

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST FISH AND CHIP EMPORIUM IN YORKSHIRE. THE FOOD IS ALWAYS FIRST CLASS WITH A WIDE CHOICE OF MENU. THE RESTAURANT ITSELF IS VERY PLEASANT AND THE STAFF ARE SUPERB. WE HAVE BEEN GOING FOR YEARS AND IT IS ALWAYS THE SAME EXCELLENT STANDARD. iT IS A PLEASURE TO VISIT SUCH A NICE ESTABLISHMENT, AND WE CAN RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE.

Have been regular patrons of "Bella Roma" for quite a few years, so we decided to try other Italian restaurants in the area for a change. In the last 6 months we have tried 7 in Wakefield, Batley, Dewsbury, Horbury and Morley. Guess what ? It's back to "Bella Roma". The selection is huge, the quality great, the staff happy & helpful, the prices reasonable. One thing only...how about a couple of "English" desserts. A nice fruit crumble or a cheese board would be great.

Great food at a great price! Service always with a smile - no task to much trouble. Great atmosphere for a relaxed bite to eat.

The Staveley arms use to be a lovely restaurant with friendly unique landlords...however since it was taken over in October i have to say the general standard of the place has fallen dramatically and i will never be returning.....

We visited at around 6pm on a Saturday evening for pre-concert drinks & food. Fairly quiet at that time but the atmosphere was still good. Service was very friendly and efficient. Food was excellent and reasonably priced, 6 Tapas and a couple of drinks was £34 for the two of us. We left about 7:15 and it was just starting to fill up.

Went for Sunday lunch to-day (18th January 2009) - absolutely fabulous food. Everything cooked to perfection. I have tried lots and lots of restaurants - but I would most certainly say that this is on my top of the list! Well done to Chef - Chris also to Lee - or it could be Lea! - and all the lovely waitresses. Thank You.
