Stefanos Italian Restaurant Keighley

Stefanos Italian Restaurant is really fantastic – why:

- Service is very good, personal and welcoming.

- Menu is typical, however the specials board is amazing, changes nightly

- Food cooked to order by an authentic Italian Chef

- Presentation of food is very appealing

- Complementary Tomato & Garlic Pizza Bread for starters, Sauté potatoes with the main, and a shot to finish your meal

- Open kitchen, can see everything that is going on

Stefanos Italian Restaurant offers two evening sittings, 6pm and 8.30pm, the latter is extremely popular so do not be surprised if you have to wait several weeks to get a table at the weekend.

The restaurant is fully booked for Xmas Eve & New Years Eve and has been since January.

I tried to go once a month, assuming I can get a reservation!  We have started to book a table in advance, so September & October reservations already made!

The restaurant is small, and can get a little cramped, especially if there is a large group in.  However, you forget this once you have your food.

There is no air conditioning in the restaurant, there is a smoker area outside on the terrace.  Restaurant offers takeaway pizza’s service also.

Try this restaurant – you really will not be disappointed!

Bai Tong Thai Restaurant In Keighley

We have eaten at Bai Tong Thai Restaurant several times over the years.

The food is good, but the portions are quite small, and you are paying a premium for the dishes, especially when you consider how much they cost in Thailand.  Is it worth it – if its a special occasion then its worth a treat.  I think its a little expensive for it to be a regular haunt.

The service is very good, and the staff are friendly and efficient.  However, service can be quite slow when the restaurant is busy.  The restaurant décor is good, and the atmosphere excellent.

The restaurant does offer some set menu options which do offer slightly better value for money.

Spice House Indian Restaurant In Keighley

This is a relatively new restaurant in Keighley.

The guys who run this restaurant, are excellent.  Friendly, efficient and are really trying hard to build a reputable business.

On a Wednesday night they have a special offer – 5 courses, which includes coffee for £6.95 and you can order anything off the menu.  If you order seafood/fish, there is an additional charge.  This understandable a business night for the restaurant.

Food is hot, tasty and service by all staff is excellent, you really cannot fault the restaurant.  The mixed starter is very filling, and the Chicken Pakora starter is huge.  Portions are very good, food is very appealing and very tasty.  If you have any special requirements with your food, the staff will do their best to accommodate.  Order just one Naan and a rice if there are two of you – this is more than enough.  Prices are sooooo reasonable, starters are from £2.95

It has been refurbished to a high standard, and is clean.  You can bring your own bottle if you wish, soft drinks however are available.

Do try this restaurant, you will not be disappointed!

Lazeez Indian Restaurant/Takeaway Silsden

This is very local to us, and we have eaten in and ordered takeaways.  For me, the takeaway is better.

The restaurant allows you to bring your own alcohol, the service from my experiences is very average.  In fact we went there for New Years Eve, booked a table for 9.30pm and there was just one other couple in – everyone had apparently eaten early according to the waiter.  We were advised that the restaurant was closing early, after we requested a break between courses, not what you expect from a restaurant!

I feel that many of the dishes taste the same.  I ate a lot of Indian food, and do appreciate that some dishes can be similiar, but found that no matter what you order, the presentation and taste of the dish is very much the same.

Takeaway option can be a little slow at peak times, but the chicken tikka masala is excellent, but somehow not the same when you eat in.

If you are looking for an inexpensive, social option, whereby you can take your own drink then this restaurant ticks the box – if your looking for a relaxing, romantic, meal in a lovely surrounding, then perhaps this restaurant is not for you!

Nawaabs, Bradford, West Yorkshire

This is a great restaurant, from the service, the food, the menu.

The restaurant offer a lunchtime menu Tuesday – Friday from 12.30 – 14.00.  The selection is not vast, but is plentiful, frequently replenished, hot and tasty.  Salads are available, usually a choice of a minimum of 3 starter, naans, pilau rice, and a selection of 4 main curries, at least one of them being vegetarian.  Cost is very reasonable.

The main menu offers the usual curries, together with some house specialities – the Nalini Special is for me one of the nicest dishes, very creamy, and has been cooked slowly for several hours.

There are 2 other restaurants in the chain, in Leeds & Huddersfield, but have never tried them.  The restaurants do have a liquer license and offer a full takeaway meal service.

Booking is recommended especially at the weekends.
