Really enjoyed the packed restaurant. Of course it was wednesday evening when the special offer 4 course meal was on the menu. Our food was delicious and plentiful. It was nice to go into a full restaurant in the middle of the week

We have been going here for years and now treated like MUGS, Mid week deal is no longer a deal. Chefs special 4 courses meal at a fixed price, apart from fish. we were charged for the chapitti's. The meal was OK nothing special. Last serivce 9pm some day you can't get a table until 9.30pm so how does that work. Then your told you can't have a starter as your later. Over all this place has gone down.

if you order a takeaway expect to wait at least an hour and a half even though they tell you it will be with you in 30 mins. the food is never constant one week average the next poor to passable. rice undercooked, chapattis put in plastic bags that make them sweaty. a few lettuce leaves and bit of cucumber to go with starters, (no tomato onion or lemon.) raita sauce sloppy papadoms stale and mango chutney almost tasteless

Absolutely gutted. I have been here throughout covid. Chose to eat here regularly on a Sunday. Then tonight walk in without a booking and then treatment was awful. No connection, no communication just a finger point of one hour. Given that we chose to attend during lockdown and keep a small business going I was hurt and gob smacked. We walked home and won’t be back again.

We had booked for 7.30pm and it was nearly 2 hours before we got our main course, due to the chef/boss making takeaways a priority over sit in diners, so we just watched a procession of takeaways and waited and waited. Yes, on reflection we should have got up and left, but we'd already had starters and at the time you keep thinking surely it will be us next. I'm sure that the takeaways are generating more income, but surely at the cost of poor service and reputation - it can’t be that difficult to prioritise take away orders around sit in bookings? Whatever the reason, make your mind up where your business priorities are and inform booking customers of the potential wait so that they have the choice of going elsewhere. The meals themselves were mediocre which was disappointing as the reviews for food are really good and we all left quite bit. The head waiter/manager did his best and apologised many times for the chef/boss, but clearly, he was as frustrated as we were, as he really seemed to take pride in his job, but couldn’t carry it out effectively as the decisions were made above him. It all got a bit embarrassing. Whilst the wait was reflected in the bill, it didn’t compensate for what was a special occasion with visiting family, but thanks at least to the head waiter for at least doing what he could to remedy a bad experience. It’s fair to say that we won’t be going back - there are plenty of other Indian restaurants in Ilkley.

Booked a table with work friends as we've heard such nice things about the restaurant. Our original booking was for 4 people but we ended up being 5 of us. Well, the waiters didn't take that very well, even though we apologised too many times about the last minute addition. They were rude but eventually sat us on a table. Service was absolutely appalling, send the wrong drinks to the table and didn't even apologise for it. We tried to be pleasant but nothing changed the atmosphere...which was very disappointing... Will have to say here that the food was absolutely amazing.. a bit of attention to detail would be appreciated but still gorgeous!! Would not go back to the restaurant, but will definitely order take away.

So disappointed. *Important*. I cannot complain about the quality of food served. It really was delicious and of a high standard. Unfortunately, the service was appalling. The minute we walked in it was cold and frosty. Lots of eye rolling and a huge inconvenience that we came in as a five. It wasn’t busy and didn’t think it would be problem to serve five of us instead of the expected six. We did apologise that our friend had to go home for personal reasons. The drinks order was wrong. No apology, instead made to feel it was our fault that we ordered rose wine and not red that was given. And a jack daniels with so much coke that was ordered neat and without a mixer. Still, we tried our best to have some intereaction and banter. Sadly nothing . The food served ( slammed on the table) was absolutely delicious. What a pity that our whole experience wasn’t a comfortable one. If it was, we would have left a modest tip. We all work in retail close by to the restaurant and have come away feeling let down by the way we were treated. Again, I would like to stress that the food was delicious and will Order again but as a take away.

A real hidden gem, often overlooked in a quiet backwater of town. Unpretentious, genuine, authentic homely Indian restaurant. Freshly sourced & prepared food, outstanding service from very personable waiters who enjoy chatting to customers on a personal level. A clean, cosy & welcoming establishment. Seema's/Saimah's restaurant is highly recommended.

We have visited this restaurant twice over the last year and on both occasions been really impressed by the wonderful Indian food and friendly staff. The garlic naan was amazing, light with a perfectly crisp outer. All the dishes we had were fresh, full of flavour with good quality meat and generous portions. I love Indian food and eat in a wide variety of restaurants, this is one of the best in my experience. Top marks to the chef but also to the friendly staff who made us feel really welcome in clean, well kept surroundings.

As soon as we walked through the doors we were immediately greeted by the friendly staff and sat down. Everyone was very attentive and helped us to order our dishes. Wow, we were so glad they helped as their recommendations were superb. The main courses were well presented, flavourful and cooked to perfection, as were the side dishes. This was the perfect way to end our family evening. We will all be returning very soon.

We sometimes accept poor service but rude and arrogant service is certainly not acceptable. I am so incensed by their approach we had to walk out. This all started by the fact they had no popadoms and no apology fo this. and waited until we had ordered.

So we chose to eat in this time rather than take away. Last time their service was poor and quite rude. I’d like to say things have changed but unfortunately not. Our order and drinks were taken and then as t the end they informed us no popadoms were available due to being busy. It was 7.30pm on a Thursday night!! Really. This culminated in the waiter being extremely arrogant and rude. Personally I am not prepared to be spoken to in this manner so left. I will now NEVER return despite trying this restaurant several times hoping the service will improve. Sadly not. Give this place a miss.

We almost didn’t go here because of a couple of recent 1-star reviews, but we fancied a curry and thought we’d give it a shot. Called the restaurant at about 8pm on a Saturday to see if they had a table - they said they would in half an hour so we turned up about 8:30 and our table was ready. We had some papadums, and the pickle tray had a good selection. Mixed starter for two was great. We then had a couple of main dishes, with garlic naan, chips and rice (we like lots of sides!), which was all delicious. Would definitely go again if we were back in Ilkley.

This review really hurts me to write but this once superb restaurant appears based on tonight's experience , to have sunk rapidly in the West (Yorkshire). I hadn't been for two years so was really looking forward to renewal of acquaintance. Sadly a major major disappointment. We had booked and got a table unlike others who turned up having booked and were asked to come back 45 mins later. Anyway we ordered and the head man told us about special deal at £9.95 which was kind and involved ordering an extra starter at no cost. Great stuff. Sadly they forgot about the starters for 25 mins, and the main course wasn't what I'd ordered. I really couldn't be bothered returning it given the 55 minutes we'd waited. The food was "okay" but no more...nan bread was like cardboard and I suspect , never seen a tandoor in its life. Other tables were waiting ages too. To cap it all just as ... fortunately ..we were leaving, the entire restaurant was taken over by a 20 person male stag party who were all " hilarious" in their thoughts. Anyway that's good business for Seems if crap for other diners. Really really disappointed. Fourth or fifth visit and I'm sure not the last ,vbut here's a tip . Just don't go on Wednesday .it's happy hour. £9.95 4 courses But this obviously attracts a certain type of diner, and apparently ruins the usual care and attention and... excellent food. Here's hoping this was a once off and Seems/Seimahs returns to form and fir our sakes , we avoid the local glee club stag party. Don't let this review put you off, but do avoid cheapo nights. Thanks for reading Andrew M, Leeds

After visiting Ilkley last Saturday afternoon we decided to call in at Seema's restaurant after hearing many positive reviews. There is street parking adjacent to the restaurant. We had made a reservation 30 minutes before our arrival as we had heard it is a little on the small side. On entering we found it to be very well furnished in a modern style. We were immediately shown to our window table by very friendly staff. They took our drinks order whilst we made our choice from the extensive menu. Just one negative is that 2 items we initially chose from the menu, namely Tetley smooth beer and chicken seekh kebabs are no longer available and I suggest that these ought to be covered up on the menus as it creates a rather poor initial impression. That hiccup over we chose onion bhajis and lamb seekh kebabs as starters which arrived in a timely manner. These were served with a side salad and mint yoghurt. Both were extremely fresh and tasty. For mains I went for chicken pathia served with chaphatis whilst my wife asked for keema saag which wasn't on the menu but the restaurant kindly offered to prepare for her; tha latter served with mushroom pilau rice. Again both arrived in a timely manner and were simply delicious and of very good portion sizes. Throughout our stay the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Complimentary had towels were provided after which the bill, which was very reasonable, was settled in a very efficient manner. Overall we were very impressed and we will certainly be adding it to our list of favourite Ilkley eateries. Thoroughly recommended.

It has a great menu with many different and varied meals, appetisers and mains.( mine was a Mogli chicken curry). We had different starters and each one was very nice. The mains came, and again we were not disappointed. Along with the Kashmiri rice and nan breads, our plates were empty. Very reasonably priced, excellent service, and a good atmosphere, I would recommend this place.

We ordered a take away from the menu on the website. When we arrived to pick up we noticed the name of the restaurant had been changed. Also, when we collected the takeaway, he charged us far more than was advertised on the web. When we queried it, he just said it’s a new restaurant. So why not update your website or even apologise. The service was awful from first picking up the phone to being handed our food. The food was crushed into a bag, leaking everywhere. On the positive. The food that we did manage to salvage was good. But they need to remember manners and good service. Too many other good restaurants locally to have any inclination of returning.

Two of us visited at 9.30 on a weekday evening, to find that we were the only customers. That fact didn't make the staff pleased to see us; the manner in which we were shown to a table was almost grudging.

The closure of the Ilkley branch of the Aagrah has left a void locally, so I decided to order a takeaway from Seema's. Things did not get off to a good start when, after arriving at precisely the time I was asked to on the phone, I had to wait a further 15 minutes for my order. On arriving home and removing the brown paper carrier from the plastic carrier bag it burst, spilling the food trays over the table, because the lid on the main dish had not been sealed and much of the sauce had spilled out into the paper carrier. The lamb handi dish itself, which was listed on the menu as medium/hot was so bland I could have served it to my mum - who hates spicy food !

Perhaps the highest accolade I can pay Seems Indian restaurant, Ilkley, is that this is our fourth visit spread over 5 years and it's great every time. The staff are a delight, the speed of service is great, the prices are ridiculously reasonable, and most of all the food is great. Your only problem will be choosing from the vast menu. Whatever you pick...and the staff will happily assist with choice..you will not be disappointed. Won't bore you with what we had, but for 2 gin and tonic, 2 half pints, two courses each with trimmings...would you believe £38. If you find a better deal please let me know! Takeaway trade is brisk. Not surprising given 20% discount before 7pm and 10% after 7. Brilliant! If you get a chance to eat at Seema please do. But gets busy weekend so book. A winner. Andrew Mitchell

This is my local curry house - staff are a good laugh and the food never disappoints. The menu has plenty choice without being too big,it also inspires you to try different dishes. I don't eat meat so I tend to always go for the Fish Punjabi or the Chana Paneer Balti washed down with a pint of draught beer, Kingfisher I think, and some lovely garlic naan bread. People always say their local curry house does the best onion bhajis but Seemas really do! Great to sit or grab a takeaway on the way home! Great value for money, particularly on a Wednesday or Sunday night as they have a deal on or it's 10% off collection takeaways after 7pm or 20% before!

I'm not the kind of person to give negative reviews but after my second bad experience from this restaurant I feel I must share. The rice was cold and tasteless. I've had better microwave rice. The chips were cold oven chips. These side dishes could have been overlooked if the main dishes had better. I ordered the Hyderabadi and my husband ordered a Chicken Chilli Masala. Both dishes tasted the same, no depth of flavour or spice. I would guess they use the same simple tomato base and add a few spices. It was similar to a cheap supermarket jar sauce. I cook a lot of curries. These curries from Seema are not authentic or worth the money.

Not only was this place 70 meters away it is a real gem of a place. It's a small restaurant with reasonable decor. Not one of the modern swanky ones from a large chain. this is an individual with friendly service. The food was excellent and reasonably priced.

We ate here for the first time last night before seeing Russell Kane at the nearby Kings Hall. It was early so we were the first in, however, this did not make a difference to the lovely friendly atmosphere. The staff could not have been nicer or more friendly. As for the food, it all tasted fresh and absolutely delicious. Easily the best Indian food I have eaten in a long time. I would highly recommend this place. My husbands only gripe was that his bottled Cobra was not as cold as my draft Kingfisher. We had two courses each and 3 beers which only came to £35 so excellent value too.

We have been walking past this little restaurant every day into town and was amazed at the amount of people visiting Seemas's. We were welcomed with open arms at the entrance and were given a prime spot at the window. Our drinks order was taken within minutes of us being seated. We were offered starters as well and ordered the Pampedams and extras. It was awesome! Fresh , spicy and full of flavour. I ordered the Lamb and Basmati rice, which was again full of flavour, spice and very tasty. My partner ordered the Prawn curry and Basmati rice. That too was cooked to perfection. The overall service and quality of the food was outstanding!

Seema's is a lovely restaurant with delicious food for a very reasonable price. The Sunday special with a menu of 3 courses for £8.95 is fantastic. Such great value for price! We return weekly thanks to the fantastic staff, especially Naz - Thank you!

My husband and I were attending an event at the King's Hall round the corner and were very short of time.We passed on the starters due to the time restraints and both ordered king prawn main dishes.We had poppadoms and the very generous pickle tray while we waited for our meal. The poppadoms had obviously been prepared freshly and went down very well.The 2 main courses were really delicious and made us realise we would have to return to sample the starters if they are as high quality as the mains!They also have draught Kingfisher which I like as I hate bottles!!We will be back and recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Some really delicious and fresh food. The quality of the meat is great and the homemade naan bread is super tasty. Some minor criticism- my partner's lamb in his mogli special was overcooked and the chaat puri starter and my garlic chilli main needed more salt. I have to say I tried my mum's dish and thought it very bland (kerela). None of our dishes were particularly spicy :( however the service is extremely warm, friendly and personal and on the whole we had a very enjoyable experiemce. The prices are great too.

Visited last night. Warm friendly atmosphere immediately you walk in. Four of us eating and all of us loved the food.Waiters, Naz & Sully, very professional, helpful and friendly, Nothing too much trouble. Food served quickly with temperature 'hot'.Spicy 'hot' delivered as hot or cool as your taste buds prefer.House wine, delicious and just over £10 a bottle meant we could enjoy two without breaking the bank.To be outstanding in Ilkley isn't easy as there are a huge number of restaurants to choose from and no shortage among them offering Indian cuisine. Seemas, we think achieves 'outstanding' by offering excellent food, fast friendly service, incredibly good value, (our bill for the party of 4 was little more than £15 a head including wine!!) in spotlessly clean and comfortable surroundings. Candles on the table would really enhance the ambience and would make this small intimate restaurant quite romantic.

Great food & service.We live in the curry capital (Leicester) & have some of the best curry houses in the U.K but this place was something else The food was so tasty & at a fantastic price too.We were actually booked in at another restaurant but decided to eat here. Great choice & I'm glad we did.The waiters couldn't have been more helpful, I would recommend an Irish coffee to finish it off too.

Mum and I came for dinner. I was very excited as was the first curry of 2017. We were not disappointed. We chose a lamb and a chicken dish and the distinctive flavours were exceptional. Not the usual generic base flavours at all.Both dishes were fantastically tasty, along with the sides and the service was impeccable.I will certainly be returning to sample more of their very comprehensive and varied menu.Simply superb.

Tonight we turned up at this restaurant, adnitedly without a reservation, but it was very early. As we entered it was obvious that the were going to have a large party arriving but it was open to the public as well. The waiter stared at us as if we were from another planet. We politely asked if there was a table for 2 available and he grunted that they weren't open until 17:30pm, we pointed out that it was actually already 17:37pm. He gave us an angry look and mumbled something. It was at this point we decided to find a nicer place that would like us to to be customers and said just that. He just shrugged! Very reluctant to return!

This was my first visit to this restaurant ,and was a little apprehensive.I needn't of worried the food was of excellent quality,the draft beer was good,I much prefer draft to bottled beer so that was a bonus and the staff were very welcoming.

Excellent little restaurant. The food was great tasting and not over powered with too many spices. Portion sizes were good and I didn't felt over faced by too much food. The service from the staff was great; all very well mannered and could not do enough to help you. The atmosphere was good even for early Friday evening. The restaurant is a great addition to Thornton village.

Delicious food and lovely friendly staff. We had a mix of starters and I had chicken balti which was gorgeous. My friend said her fish curry was the nicest she’d ever tasted. The staff were very helpful with recommendations and excellent friendly service.
