The best restaurants in Yorkshire and The Humber

In 1984 I remember back packing around China with a Betty's canvas bag from the cake shop.Though it may have been an Elizabeth Botham's of Whitby bag I always wanted to go to Betty's but I thought it was Betty expensive but the cream tea wasn't too bad a price, as I treated myself after having a poor turn out for my 60th birthday party. Just as good as any London establishment Fortnum &Mason, The Wolsey Ritz or Harvey Nichols but a lot cheaper. And the loos are good too.

We booked for a table a week in advance online after seeing the lunch deal. On the Sunday food was nice (although garlic creamy mushrooms were cold) and service very quick (abit too rushed). When paying the bill I stated I booked the offer, the waiter asked if I booked and I said yes, she went away and came back and said the deals not on anymore. I said it did not state an end date on line and she shrugged. I found this service rude and price falsely advertised.

Visited Bengal Brasserie one Saturday evening, had called through to book a table but arrived at the agreed time and there was no table available and didn't seem to have the booking. The restaurant was quite busy so service was a little slower than what you'd usually expect, which wasn't much of a problem. The pickle tray had a good selection, but not that great. I did ask to see if a special curry not on the menu was available, but sadly wasn't. The khandahari curry looked good but was rather oily and didn't have a lot of taste unfortunately, which was a little disappointing as it was supposed to be a flavoursome dish.

First visit on Saturday with my buddy.the food here is just a cut above anything I've had before.staff are super friendly and the place has a really busy and vibrant atmosphere.always good to come home to Bradford and have some decent grub.fantastic restaurant.

'Style' over substance. If you want good food, I would avoid. Also avoid the small plates - massively over priced and very poor quality. I have come here before a few times and had positive experiences (and left a good review that have since deleted). The two stars are for the open, large and colourful venue and the hospitality given to me by the owners, which is usually what has brought me back (but doesn't extend to everyone). However , my friend and I ordered chicken which was dry and clearly not fresh as I struggled to cut into it- I think it may have been cooked from frozen. I have never even bought frozen meat for myself to cook at home, never mind paying for it in a restaurant. The chicken was smothered in 'special sauce' which was a cheap mayo/peri sauce which they used to mask the dryness and overpowered the food. It just looked life- less. It didn't come with chilli or spring onions as it said on the menu- it looked like a 12 year old had made it. My friend didn't even get her sauce on the side (or chill/spring onions) and the chicken nuggets smelt old- they looked like left overs. The waitresses didn't apologise when they brought the spring onions and chillis over but had clearly raised the issue with management under hushed tones, which ruined the atmosphere as he didn't address it. The manager asked all the tables around us if they were ok with their food aside from us ! They clearly wanted to avoid us complaining /paying for the food. Payment is a hassle. Then only when we got up and paid did the manager ask if things were ok to my friend (which I didn't hear) but at that point it would have caused a scene if she raised issues as we were on our way out. The waitresses seem to struggle with simple orders like my friend asking for sauce on the side and don't seem to know anything about the food, constantly having to defer to management. The cocktails are massively overpriced and poor quality. The rose cocktail has no rose syrup or rose petals in it and came out blue. The coconut one is pure cream and tasted like I'm drinking a nourishment /milkshake- the last time I came. We were supposed to stay for desserts but we wanted to just leave as soon as possible. If you do go there, I'd stick to the brunch or main meals and not bother with drinks or small bites. I think maybe they have bitten off more than they can chew and the 'awards' have gone to their head.

Food amazing male waiters gorgie funny lots of banter and attentive atmosphere great, a great evening always love coming here

Hoping it reopens soon. Been dozens of times. Quality food, quality surroundings and vibe. Staff are Amazing! Real shame it’s on Hold at the moment. Viva La Rancheros!

I'm not really sure what I can write to pay this restaurant justice. Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Done research for my 65th birthday weekend at Harrogate as I'm a right fussy bugger, chose this restaurant and do bloody glad I did. I chose starter & starter for main course & both excellent, if yr coming to Harrogate and don't book here, all the more fool for you as yr missing out.

Nice but cold pizza on arrival, slightly disappointing for the price

Saturday night solo dining wasn't a disappointment. A very busy restaurant with good 👍 helpful staff. Chicken Jalfrezi rice nan all fab. Nice selection on pickle tray too. Cash only or bank transfer . Don't take cards.

What a fabulous restaurant! Took some friends out after searching for somewhere

We had a lovely meal at this charming little Turkish restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavours, and the portions were just right. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome. It’s a cosy spot with a great atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a true taste of Turkey in the heart of England!

Couldn't do enough for us had a fussy eater with us and they did everything they could to accommodate us x x

Really welcoming pub. Food beautiful, good portions. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to have a nice meal.

Really good customer service, really good atmosphere and good food too.
