   It is beyond me that an”steak house “ cannot cook a steak - no crust, meat not cut properly, no care of how grains are, quality of meat is questionable, no seasoning just sauce. please send the chef to a steak house to learn. Honestly I am not bitter about my hard earned money -but this chef should really look at the mirror and be honest if he actually deserved to be cooking

   Visited recently and had a mixed experience. The cleaning equipment was left in the middle of the restaurant, which didn’t give the best first impression. There was only one staff member running around, and while he was trying to manage everything, tables weren’t being cleaned, and used plates and glasses were left sitting there. The table we sat at felt greasy, which wasn’t very pleasant. We had steaks, Chinese, and the fillet burgers, the food was okay, nothing special, but decent enough. However, £3.50 for a simple Rubicon Mango can felt like a rip-off. Also, the toilet seat was the wrong size, which added to the overall sense of carelessness. It’s not terrible, but there’s definitely room for improvement.. especially in cleanliness and pricing.

   We reserved a table at Yaqub’s. After reading positive reviews, reservation online doesn’t work, I had to call in to confirm even though I made it online. The ambience is ok, however the floors were sticky! Not a great start. We ordered food and drinks, the waiter brought out 1 glass, a jug of water and 2 coke cans. We had to ask for additional glasses. Anyway, ordered our food and asked for our steaks to be spicy. The starters came out which were wings. Nice portion, doused in marinade. Side of salad. Great starter. Tasty, had a little punch. Steak sizes were generous, they came out and we were excited! Topped with caramelised onions! Presentation was good, fries were nice and crispy, salad seemed fresh with a nice dressing. The steak itself whilst it was cooked to perfection, lacked the spice we asked for. Their hot sauce is sweet so not to our liking, after asking for a better chili sauce they gave us the chicken marinade we had on the wings. So it kinda did the job. The side of vegetables unfortunately let this dish down. Not fresh, clearly frozen which is ok, but they were just warmed up and served. No seasoning, no taste to them. That was disappointing. In all, the meal was satisfying, very reasonable for the portions indeed! So value for money is great, it certainly is not a bad steakhouse at all. Worth the visit.

   I went to Yaqub last night and the food was really good. I had the lamb steak, yummy. I really enjoyed my meal and the server was kind. For sure I will come back, I do love tasty food. Affordable price also for less than £17 I had lamb steak with 2 sides and I took a extra drink. They also add a tasty salade on the plat side.

   Nice ambience, reasonably priced food and good serving sizes. Shame the steak not quite the best around, and no t-bone on the menu. Corn on cob arrived cold, so they warmed it right up.

   Really well made steak juice tender and tasty while customer service was top notch loved the place will highly recommend.Serving size of each every dish is really large and filling parking is bit of problem but still worth going and trying. Pricing is not too experience like other steak houses. Ambiance is really nice you can enjoy your food with family.
