For my main course I got a chicken tikka which was so nice. I was so full that I had to take some home.

It should really be called the Jewel of Otley, as this little curryhouse is one of the best places…read moreto eat in the town. A restaurant within a tiny old cottage on the main road that winds its way through Otley, the Jewel was recommended to me by a family member as one of the better places to have a curry. And so I found myself with a bunch of mates at the Jewel, where we were lucky to get a table despite the fact that it was a week day. The guys who seated us were pretty friendly and for the rest of the evening the service was good - something you don't always get when you go to a restaurant as a bunch of "lads". Anyhow, the korma I had was spot-on, and the bhaji's I had for starter (and the yogurty sauce I smothered them in) were some of the best I've ever had. You can eat here for around £12-15 a head, which, considering the food and the service, ain't half bad.

It is quite disappointing to read the last review about Royal Saffron as my experience was quite…read moredifferent. We too had a groupon deal to visit royal saffron in Otley just after christmas and went up there on a Wednesday evening. It wasn't too busy and we were quickly shown to our table and ordered drinks. My mum is a bit of a spelling and grammar nazi so reading the menu caused great hilarity. I think my favourite description is the Masaledar; "The recipe is modern explosive flavours it will change your perceptions of our food so you will contemplate eating."... I have no idea what this means but one of our party ordered it and it was a damn good curry! I ordered the gulbar kofta which was full of flavour and perfect consistency. I will admit the service was a bit slow, particularly given that there weren't many people in the restaurant hence it getting 4 stars not 5 but if you're not in a rush my experience is that the food is worth waiting for. I am not sure I would regularly travel over from Leeds to this restaurant as I think you can get curry as good closer to home (e.g. bengal brasserie, burley) but with so many voucher deals for this place, if you're closer to Otley why not give it a go?

So, I've heard good things about this place so was excited when it was featured for a KGB deal & I…read morehastily snapped up. I don't mind a nice drive out to try somewhere new but sadly, I feel this time it was a waste of petrol money! We had booked in for 7.30 pm & arrived at 7.20, even though there were 3 spare tables we had to wait until 7.35 to be seated but this gave us the opportunity to see & smell the food they had to offer and we were quite looking forward to eating. We were seated with our menus despite already having chosen while we were waited and had to sit a further 10 minutes for someone to come and take our orders. The menu is plentiful and features a lot of old favourites and some new and exciting sounding dishes. We waited a further 10 mins to get my lemonade (which was flat) and Mr still had to wait a little while longer for his mango lassi. Our starters came out within the next 10 mins and these were very nice- the Mr's was slightly different to how it has been described but it was tasty. There were 4 staff on and the restaurant is smallish yet the service was ridiculously slow. We eventually got our main course at 8.55- 1 hr and 35 mins after we arrive is ridiculous! We couldn't get any of the staff attention to find out what the delay was either and there was no apology when we did finally get the food! And, it was disappointing. My beef was full of gristle and the 'curry' taste more like a stew. The Mr's chicken dish was also bland. the garlic naan was nice and crisp yet the garlic on it was raw! The initial voucher was £14 for 2 starters/mains & kulfi desserts each yet upon eating as much of the main as I could manage (not due to the portion size but due to it's uninspired flavour!) we asked for the bill and I went to get the car. We'd had 2 lemonades,a mango lassi, 2 poppadoms + an average tasting pickle tray, boiled rice ans a garlic naan and they has the cheek to charge £15 on top of the voucher- good job Mr had been left with the bill or I would have told them to stick it!!!! 9.20 when we left! 2 hours for what I can say was a total waste of an evening. It's been a while since we ate anywhere that the service was so slow and the food was less than average. We'll be sticking to Leeds curry houses in future! We'd ordered- Chicken Chaat, Lamb Puree for starters Chicken Jobbar & Beef shatkora Boiled rice, garlic naan accompaniments

I ate here a fair few months back now, but I can still vividly remember the meal, which is…read moreunsurprising given the high quality of the whole evening. It used to be the pub that served the housing estate it lies within, which gives it a rather strange appearance and location for a curry house. Despite this, it has developed a fine reputation since it became a restaurant rather than a pub, and I was strongly recommended to check it out. I was glad that I heeded the advice - the decor was relaxed and refined, the atmosphere was brilliant, and the service was fast and friendly. The food followed the same impressive trend, and is up there with the most authentic and flavourful Indian stuff I've ever eaten. And cheap too!

We went with the beef shin that was recommended by a friend and a spicier chicken dish. The food was maybe the best Indian food I've had. It was spicy and the flavors were deep and rich.

If you love Indian food but are getting a bit bored by the identical menus on offer at every…read morerestaurant across town, Kashmiri Aroma is definitely worth a visit. Serving Kashmiri cuisine, which is tangier and fruitier than much of the standardised Indian fare we are used to in the UK, this is a bright, modern and airy restaurant that's a world away from the chintzy carpets of your local Indian. It's a bit pricier, of course, but still not excessive, and you can easily get dinner for two with drinks for £30. Try the Hyderabadi with meat or mixed vegetables for something a bit different or, if you're feeling brave, try the lethal 8% Cobra beer... just don't blame me in the morning!

Bored of Frankie and Bennies and Pizza Hut I suggested a little drive out to Kasmiri Aroma a few months ago with my boyfriend! Often chain brands and restaurants plus city life get a little too much, so a drive past the countryside to a stand alone, modern restaurant is a nice break away! Located just outside Ilkley just off the main road with acres and acres of countryside directly opposite Kashmiri aroma is contrasting from other restaurants. It's not only the location that is different but the menu and it's versatility.On arrival the very friendly staff told me they would make anything I would like to order depending on my tastes....I thought I was in heaven! The decor is very, very sophisticated. The venue is large and everything is prestinley clean and layed out to peerfection! A high class of curry eating! I felt pampered as the service was so fantastic. The menu not only has a MASSIVE range of curries, starters, breads, rices and sauces but an extensive wine list with some really aged red wines! Prices are a more expensive than your average curry house however this Kashmiri cuisine is to die for! This isn't Hyde Park takeaway food, this is genuine Kashmiri, quality cooking. A king prawn balti can cost up to £10.50 but trust me it tastes like heaven! For a nice change and a drive out to the hills and fields pop to Kashmiri Aroma for a curry and glass of oaky red wine! The only downfall is if you don't drive it's almost impossible to get to which is a bummer (unless you don't mind walking through sheep for your dinner!)
