The best restaurants in Ilkley Bradford Yorkshire and The Humber

We stumbled upon this spot when walking past, and what a find! Lovely staff and range off food! We had the salad and mezze, which were delicious! Will definitely be back!

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

Excellent coffee… would certainly recommend this coffee house!! Thank you for excellent service too!…………………………..😊

Host has rebranded to Joel’s. I don’t know why Tripadvisor hasn’t been updated yet. Our family of four had lunch at Joel’s - solid ‘Asian street food’ cooked authentically. Really great addition to the area. Great kids menu. Exceeded our expectations

Lovely setting pity the food doesn’t live up to the location. For lunch we had belly pork which was average at best. Omelette which was inedible being greasy overcooked , the ham what there was of it was burnt . Overall very disappointing.

Just wonderful. Lovely staff who always make you feel welcome. The best scrambled eggs and excellent cakes and coffee.

This is a lovely restaurant that we have visited frequently and always had great service. It is very family friendly and accommodating and has a great atmosphere. The coffee is good and the food is excellent. Clearly the owner takes time to source the best local ingredients. The staffs are always friendly and dogs are welcome. It’s a small setting with a good number of covers, plenty of seats inside and out and the queue for seats (when busy) moves quickly. Re previous reviews regarding prams. It’s not the biggest inside and I completely understand the owners decision on this. The cafe floor is quite narrow and staff frequently stand as side to allow customers to pass freely. Genuinely if you add a couple of prams it becomes dangerous for both staff and customers- not discriminatory but a common sense approach.

Parked the car and fancied some lunch before shopping. Literally fell into this gem 3 metres away and it was lovely. My partner was on crutches and doesn't like the sun so, when it was too hot inside, Jane seated us around the side in the shaded terrace. Food was great and service spot on. Thanks to Jane, Amy and all the staff who were so kind.

We were so disappointed - the food was not special and the restaurant was lacking in atmosphere. The room temp was too low, the lights were too bright and the decor was just plain. The food was just ... ordinary and didn't justify the price tag. I don't know if we caught it on a bad night but I doubt if we'll go back - there are much better options in Ilkley

Excellent food, drumks and service. Comfortable friendly atmosphere. Great value for money. Good location in the centre of Ilkley

We found the Shalimar a few weeks ago and have returned regularly since. The standard is always exactly the same.The curries are amazing! I have a Meat Masala(madras hot for me) and it is by far the best i`ve had. The added fresh coriander just finishes a stunningly tasty dish with tender meat, perfectly. My husband loves the chicken madras, in fact if it we upto him he would eat this daily. The staff are also lovely and very friendly. If you haven`t tried it, you really, really should!

Great evening atmosphere and friendly service. Staff were very accommodating and reasonable prices for how nice it is inside.

It is a place to visit. The restaurant is cozy and the atmosphere is quiet. Great food and great restaurant especially the terrine with plum sauce and the rest of the food was a pleasant surprise. Alex the waitress was a great host.

Not a friendly welcome. Admitted we walked in 20 minutes before service ceased but we only wanted a quick cup of tea. Cakes and scones were still on offer but we didn’t have any. We did not intend to linger. What a frosty face we were met with. Awful customer service. Not a good example to the younger people working there.

I love this cafe. The coffee is amazing and the staff are so lovely and helpful. The daily baked goods are great and it’s kiddie and dog friendly. Definitely a must stop in St Ives.
