Aagrah got the vote eventually, only because the guest to our city got a 15% off voucher when he checked into his hotel, and then we paid the bill and forgot to use it



Very good standard as always and true to my own cause I went for a fruity curry, a Kashmiri Chicken affair with lychees and plantains with a pashwari naan with raisins and nuts.

Its not a curry unless its got fruit in it - rule of life #43.


So full I was uncomfortable last night, so full that I am still stuffed this morning and a tad hungover after one and a half bottles of Cobra, such is the intolorance to alcohol these days, the days when I woudl drink beer laced with Brasso are far behind me...

Not my fault if she gets there too early.
Nonetheless, you have a valid point... I'll get her to take me there pre-match one of these days if/when I can get to Leeds more than ten minutes before kickoff.

Having worked my entire adult life and never having claimed a penny in benefits of any kind I wouldn't have a clue and I am amazed.

TGI Friday's eh? Impressive.

You're a poster boy for the Tory attacks on the welfare state I used to find so dis-tasteful.

The Tories wouldn’t dare make me the poster boy for why the welfare state is failing (and yes it is failing) because I’d be far too vocal about this governments failure to improve the welfare state.

I’ve had a lot of financial help whilst I’ve been on the dole but actual help to get a job has been pretty much non-existent from those who are paid to 'help' me. I could go into details but this thread is about food.

I had a lovely curry from Nawaab last night. One of the advantages of having mates who live in town is that I get to have the best takeaways ever

Oh by the way - The Cove fish and chips, Station Road Horsforth.

Just excellent, I strongly recommend them to the house.

Yeah they're really nice

changed my mind

I always go to the 'Fat Friends' chippy at the top of Butcher Hill.

Might give the Station Road place a go next time.

Midgelys on butcher hill is good as is station road.
In pudsey the one on owlcoates is awesome with big big portions, and the fish is brilliant on Waterloo road

And for restaurants booked my favourite restaurant for Thursday night, the olive tree

I highly recommend Piazza by Anthony inside the corn exchange. On Monday four of us had a Guinea Pig meal where you got anything put on your place over three courses. We got it for £15 each from livingsocial.com/Leeds

The Corn Exchange is a stupid building.

Corn Exchange as a venue is lovely on a night when only the ground floor is open and it's best to stare up into the glass ceiling with it's wonderful lights. However during the day it's probably bedlam to eat there with everyone leaning on the balcony railings and rushing about on the upper floors.

Another place I've been to recently is Cattle Grid which is just across the street from the Corn Exchange. Great Burgers.

I'm off to Anthony's in Corn Exchange as there organising a doo for my parents wedding anniversary

I wouldn't know. I can't get in!

Reds True Barbeque just opposite the Corn Ex - been there twice in the past week.

First for my birthday, so I told my daughter how good it was so she wanted to go for her birthday too. Who am I to say no??
Tuns of meat.

I think you'll be ok with your chariot too as it's all on one level.

Doughnut burger?

So I hear! I've only been as far as the door where they told me it would be a 3 hour wait...

The doughnut burger is awesome, it's the future

Sounds wrong doesn't it but I saw plenty of them coming out of the kitchen when we went.

I waited an hour to get in last week but 3 hours...!!! That's too long.

It's very popular we waited appox 30minutes, 3hrs is a tad too long for me to wait

I've been at lunchtime a few times and the food is great. It speaks volumes about how well they're doing that they don't take bookings and you can have a wait of hours for a table.

However, they're on my list now. 9 of us went last Friday at 5.30. They wouldn't take a booking and we figured we'd stick our name down and go for a drink for an hour or so. I was told no chance till 9pm so left my number. We decided to eat elsewhere and I got a call at 8,30 telling me how lucky I was they had gotten me a table half an hour earlier than promised.I politely thanked him but said we had already eaten and he got a bit y. I pointed out that they didn't take reservations for their convenience not mine, I couldn't wait 3 and a half hours for food and he could stick it up his arris.

A couple of weekends ago we went to Reds for Sunday dinner (at about 5), we were told that the wait would be 2/3 hours so we went to the new burger place in the Trinty development.
I had probably the best burger I've ever had in the uk, it was the Jimmy's farm burger & was really tasty.
Because desserts are limited we went to Carluccios for afters.
I had their excellent & excellent value pannacotta followed by their coffee which is some of the best you'll get in Leeds.
A top night out.
I'm sure we'll try Reds again but the wait is not acceptable.
Not to me anyway.

Reds - significantly overrated, the masses sucked in like moths to the light.

Prashad in Bradford is very good if you fancy a great meal.
