https://www.facebook.com/MommyThaiLeeds/ I have been meaning to call here for quite some time now and once even got inside but, having arranged to meet someone and with only half an hour to spare, I walked out when I saw the size of the portions! Today I was back to being Billy Nomates so time was not…

https://www.assemblyunderground.com/falafel-guys Come hungry, leave happy. There can be few better strap lines than that of Falafel Guys and while it is great to talk the talk, you also have to walk the walk, which is just what they do. For once I was not dining alone and both my companion and I found that we…

It turns out that this is National Curry Week so the decision as to what to eat was made for me. All I needed to do was work out which of the sub-continent’s restaurants I would choose. To people of a certain age, the word Tiffin summons up memories of a chocolate bar made by…

You know what they say, ‘Third time lucky.’ I have called at The Oxford Place twice before to do a review, the first time was on a Monday, they only open Wednesday to Sunday, and the second time it was closed as they were on holiday. It is a family run restaurant so these things…

https://www.facebook.com/NoodleHouseLeeds/ Currently take-away only I have never had an inclination to visit the Far East, although in a previous life I did go to Hull quite regularly, so I’m not in a position to compare the food on offer in Leeds with ’the real thing’.

http://www.thaiaroydeeleeds.com/ Many, many moons ago every village, town and city had half-day closing, which meant that shops and other businesses would shut at lunchtime on one day a week.
