Reviewed By WillComplain1970

I was really liking the thought of a Kebab, but knowing what Ilkley had to offer could and the fact that I had been drinking, could be bothered to catch a train to Leeds to sample the delights of Mill Hill Kebabs.I used that search engine to find Avalons Mexitalian for an up to menu, as I'd not ordered from them since they'd first opened, but was willing to try them due to the lack of what I wanted to order.The famous search engine suggest that ai download the app! I placed an order on the app, and the app accepted the post code, but didn't allow or offer to find the important house number!I scrapped that and went old school and called at 19:00 requesting the delivery to be made at 20:15. Yes sure, see you at 20:15 came the voice of the person taking my order.I'm guessing that as it arrived 25 minutes late without any explanation or apology, it turned up 25 minutes late. They must've have been trying to get a De Lorean to go back to the future!The Buffalo Wings that I ordered were inedible! I now know where the saying "tough as old boots" comes from! They were either from the night before, preheated and served again, or over cooked! Either way, it was like eating a Buffalo's butt, not that I have done that, they were inedible!Shocking experience and not to have an apology, when the driver turns up late, no apology, waits for a tip!!Won't be using this lot again!!

PizzaExpress

Reviewed By robaA7383NE

Called on a Wed lunchtime and sat outside taking advantage of the sunshine. Waiter was attentive and helpful.....read on. The pizzas were tasty but paper thin base (which some people like so personal choice) but at £14-£15 each certainly not substantial enough or good value. Soft drinks at £2.75 and only small standard coke bottles as example so pricey. All in all for 2 pizzas, a salad and 3 soft drinks was just over £50. Steep for a pizza lunch for 3 people with no starters or deserts.Annoyingly- Looking on their site they were offering 20% off food on the day and also starter and main offers neither of which were mentioned by the attentive waiter ? I wonder why.........Too expensive for what it was but service was great apart from not advising of menu offers, pizza tasty but will try alternatives next time.

Sachi's

Reviewed By retiredrocker

We paid our third or fourth visit to Sachi's last Friday night and it was as good as ever. Really tasty food, well presented, fairly priced, with friendly, efficient but unobtrusive service in a spacious, relaxing environment. What's not to like? Why, then, has it never been very busy when we've been in? Perhaps it's because of the location - at the far end of an arcade, off the main car park, with all other units (Specsavers, charity shop etc.) being closed in the evenings. Yes, there are signs at the arcade entrance for 'Sachi's' and a menu board but some people will just walk past without venturing into the arcade. And at the rear of the building overlooking the side street, the old signs for '4 Kitchens' are still up and lit,and this perhaps adds a bit of confusion. Also some people just like to be seen - as evidenced by a well populated 'Broadleys' just along the way directly overlooking the car park.Whatever the reason, if diners, whether visitors or residents, are just walking past I urge you to give it a try. It would be a shame if this excellent, independent restaurant fell by the wayside - Ilkely needs places like this.Thank you very much for your review and we appreciate your concern about Sachi’s. Sachi’s world cuisine cater for a broader part of community. It got some lovely authentic French recipes while lovely hand made pastas... while it creat some Asian flavours....Sachi’s is serving some authentic Indian recipes.... in one word you can find: quality and varieties under one roof.Someone loves food must visit Sachi’s at-least for once to enjoy a proper gourmet experience....Yes we are a bit concerned about the footfalls at Sachi’s...But we are very confident that Ilkley people will certainly come and try some proper food crafted by very talented chefs??!!We wish to see you again and againKind regardsSachi

The Vine

Reviewed By Tourist554477

I have never left a review on trip advisor before but after visiting the vine I needed to say something. I’m quite a good cook myself and usually leave restaurants feeling like I could have done a better job myself. My partner and I just had a main course each as we were going for a few drinks after and as much as I would love to I honestly have no idea how I would ever recreate the food I have just eaten. Both of our dishes were absolutely delicious and piping hot to the last mouthful. The waiting staff were both professional and attentive. The chefs who were on show were amazing to watch and highly skilled! I have a new favourite restaurant thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

Emporio Italia

Small restaurant, only 7 tables. Individual menu with each item individually described by the waiter. Wonderful food, excellent friendly staff. Great atmosphere.

Reviewed By David A

Three of us enjoyed an early dinner on a Friday evening, having pre-booked a table. Two of us had been before and had really enjoyed the meal although finding the almosphere noisy.This was the case again, this time the cause being piped music. However, the cooking was excellent and the bill for three dinners and a bottle of house wine was fair for its quality.

Pranzo Italian Lunch Bar

Reviewed By Havekidswilltravel_9

Brought my 12 year old son here for a late Saturday afternoon lunch and we loved it. Very welcoming staff and atmosphere and fantastic pizzas. Especially loved the garlic roast potatoes. Then had the most amazing dessert ever, the milk tart. Was heaven! Would highly recommend. Very authentic Italian cafe. Can’t wait to come again.
