“Great little restaurant near York centre, food was amazing, very reasonable. Staff were very attentive especially rana. Not a lot of atmosphere but everything eles was spot on.”

“Ate here as part of a Rick Steves tour, so there were about two dozen of us. Staff were friendly and helpful, service was excellent as was the food. Highjy recommended.”

“I had a wonderful dinner at this Indian restaurant located just near Clifford Castle — a perfect spot with a charming atmosphere. The menu offered a wide variety of protein-rich and low-calorie options, which I really appreciated. The cheesecake was a surprising highlight — light, cool, and delicious. The staff were exceptionally friendly and polite, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.”

“Wow. This was our first visit and won't be our last! The restaurant is beautiful, the staff are amazing and the food was perfect. We visited as two adults and two kids and the staff were fantastic with the kids, making them laugh and including them in the ordering process. The portions were extremely generous and every bring was fresh, hot and full of flavour. There honestly isn't a bad thing to say about this place, even the toilets are pretty!!”

“The food was delicious. Our team really enjoyed it. The staff were very enthusiastic. Ajay was particularly warm-hearted and received high praise.”

“It was such a delight to dine here. The food was delicious. The smoked half chicken was absolutely juicy despite it being smoked which is usually isn't the case and the reaper was absolutely spicy as hell but the patty was delicious. The scoop doo was immaculate. And Joseph was so attentive and constantly checking in to make sure we didn't die of the spiciness and made sure we were comfortable. Loved being here!”

“Came here tonight on are way home from brid to Leeds we had four starving kids in the car with us and luckily happened to notice this takeaway with seating area…. Wow best service ever kids got pop corn chicken and chips and donner meat wraps and me and my partner had a calzone it was the best calzone we have ever had… soooo tasty steak chicken donner and salami with extra cheese Zara who works at the shop have all of us a free drink each as we spent £50 and also gave all the kids a Lollie. We will be coming back again next time we come home from the caravan.”

“Found this little gem of a place by default, a couple leaving said it was amazing food so we decided to nip in, and so very glad we did. We only had bar snacks (Yorkshire pudding with pulled beef and dirty fries). Both absolutely delicious, very good cask ales and nice selection of gins too, in a chilled, non pretentious atmosphere with friendly staff! We will be back!”

“Best meal I’ve had in a while with the customisable Toad in the Hole! Atmosphere is stunning and is positioned in a quieter part of lively York. I went with the Welsh dragon sausage (homemade) which took my breath away. Gravy was delicious and paired with red cabbage for freshness. The whole meal was as comforting even in the heat wave as advertised! Would love to come back”

“Popped in for a family meal on our son’s 16th and GCSE results day. The service and food were absolutely fantastic. Huge portions for the prices, definitely worth every penny.”

“Great apartment. Perfect for a couple of days away! Clean and well presented. Bed was really comfortable. Walking distance to York center. Only slight negative was it does get hot on the warmer days with not much option to ventilate. Easily fixed by going out and enjoying York in the sun. We will be re booking again definitely.”

“I had a lovely stay at The Grange Lodge in York. The location is perfect—peaceful and tucked away, yet just a short walk from the heart of the city. It was the ideal base for exploring York’s historic streets. What really stood out, though, was the room service: consistently prompt, thoughtful, and delivered with a genuine warmth that made the experience feel truly welcoming. It’s the kind of place that strikes the right balance between comfort and convenience. I’d be very happy to return on a future visit.”

“Oh what a Chinese this is. If you know Golden City you will already know what an amazing Chinese it is, but if you’ve not come across it before, don’t look any further. I have been coming here for around 13 years and my wife and her family have been coming here for around 30 years. In that time we have never had a bad meal. Honestly everything on the menu is fantastic, I haven’t tried everything but a good handful of dishes and most starters. I strongly recommend the salt and pepper chicken or prawns, chicken in black beans and the sweet and sour chicken. The prices have gone up over the years which is understandable but absolutely worth it for the portion sizes you get and the quality of the food. Thank you Golden City.”

“Peeps York is my everyday visit their chicken and rice is very tasty I’ll recommend to everyone thanks to kj for amazing service A good place to visit with family”

“My favourite pub in England, love the atmosphere and the beer garden is wonderful to sit. Great selection on tap. And the food always looks and smells amazing. If youre visiting york i highly recommend to pop in for a drink”

“The deal for two persons is amazing. £30 and lots of delicious food. Recommend!”

“Amazing authentic Thai food. Everything was super tasty and fantastic portion sizes. I think sometimes their website says that they’re not taking orders when they actually are. So worth ringing up to check. Highly recommend trying Thai Orchid.”

“Weekday lunch after a 7m walk. The bar staff rearranged the table so we had more room and booked us into the tap room as we had a dog (I mistakenly booked the restaurant). Easy online booking, good menu choice and all the food was delicious and decently cooked. We were informed that the food would take about 25m which it did. Easily recommended. Great views across Otley Chevin”

“We use the Leeds East hotel regularly but our visit this weekend was a really great experience. Young man on reception was very welcoming and professional. A special mention to the lady who put some treats in my daughters room as she heard it was my granddaughters 2nd birthday. What a lovely touch. And finally the lady in the breakfast room who was so lovely with my young granddaughters giving them a chocolate biscuit and a balloon each. This service was really welcomed so thankyou all and apologies I didn’t get names of the people who really made a difference.”

“Honestly, if you’re wanting a good kebab this is the spot. Got a mixed doner and shawarma on garlic naan (on request) gave me extra sauce, kept the salad separate BOSH. Quick delivery locally Fresh food Top service”

“We did not stay here,they catered for my husband's funeral,just before Christmas. They did an excellent job,plenty of food, friendly staff. Made a very sad occasion end a wee bit better. Recommend.”

“I would highly recommend Judges Lodgjngs as this hotel is ideally located within easy reach of all the historic sites, the walls, shops, café, restaurants, bars, etc. Also, the rooms are very comfortable, and all the staff are friendly and always willing to help. Jackalyn, on Reception, was always very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. She advised us that she had only recently started at The Judges Lodgings, but this was never evident, and it was lovely chatting to her throughout our stay.”

“A gorgeous and very well priced coffee. Such a better atmosphere, price, and coffee than the chains. Friendly staff who were very kind and open to my friend with learning disabilities, which always leaves a good impression.”

“A fantastic family meal! We had booked a table for 7pm and arrived on the dot, there wasn’t any other customers in at that point so we got seated and served straight away. We browsed the menu and ordered quite a few different dishes, our drinks came straight away and the food wasn’t much longer! The aromatic duck starter was lovely however there wasn’t enough wraps, we were maybe 2-3 short of what we needed, it would also be nice to see bigger duck portion options as you can only order 1/4 crispy duck. Our mains arrived shortly after, all of which looked, smelled and tasted amazing. The place started to fill up and before we knew it there wasn’t a table empty which is great to see! Some of the dishes are a little pricey but honestly the taste and portion sizes make up for it! We live 3 hours away from York and are already planning our next trip so that we can come back to Hong Kong Chop House for another delicious Chinese feast! Keep up the great work.”

“Food was amazing. The menu is a lot to go through, so I instead told the waiter what I was in the mood for and he made it happen. The service there was incredible, all of the waitstaff I interacted with were amazing. I will for sure be going back. Highly recommend.”

“We stumbled into this location while taking a stroll around the city. We made the wise decision to try Rad pizza! The staff who assisted us was courteous and friendly. Ten stars for the pizza! Rich in taste, the foundation is flawless, well-done!”

“Went here on my day trip to York and the food was absolutely delicious. Came out piping hot and plated beautifully. The service was also extraordinary and the waitstaff went out of their way to make me and my friends feel accommodated. This restaurant truly captures the essence of a family owned business and feels like a warm hug.”

“Brilliant meal here tonight. Monday evening but still busy. Food very good and service first class. Made to feel very welcome. Thank you”

“Lovely little place. Visited on a weekday evening so it was quiet. The food was lovely, service was good. The place looked clean and very well presented and looked after.”

“Superb service and excellent food, great size portions, so much so that we usually end up taking some home! Staff are attentive and friendly with fast service and a smile. Love love love coming here and even came on Christmas Day!”
