Review Saimah's - Ilkley

Connie
Delicious meal, and extremely good value. Dropped in on a Sunday, and they do a very good 4-course meal for £11.95 which is a bit of a steal! We started with poppadoms and dips, and we then were able to choose our starters, main and sides. The onion bhajis and tandoori chicken were tasty light. We enjoyed the sizzling king prawn to follow as well as a lamb dish, plus naan and pilau rice. Service was quick and the staff were friendly.

Called in this small restaurant Sunday night to see if there was a table for 4. It was very busy with one table in the window spare. Lovely atmosphere, great service ,great food and very reasonable. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic night out with friends. The food we all had was really good. Staff were very friendly, polite and patient. Only thing is the menu is too extensive so choosing what to have was difficult. But don't let that put you off as they cater for all tastes.

Me and a friend went for the 4 course special (Wednesday and Sunday). The food was delicious and excellent value. The service was very good and all the staff were very friendly.

Hilarious. The funniest curry I've ever had. On entering the restaurant, the staff, visibly annoyed by our arrival, seemed as if they wanted to but could not credibly refuse our entry. This was partly due to us doing nothing wrong, but mainly because of the amount of free tables we could clearly see. Superb comic expressions on their faces of which the likes of Laurel and Hardy would be proud. A great start. My friends were all hungry, excited and looking forward to a big curry. I on the other hand, only a couple of hours prior had managed to sink a pretty hefty 3 meat roast. I told this to the waiter, explaining that because I wasn't particularly hungry I would only have a starter. The waiter, with impeccable deadpan comic timing, made it very clear that the only option was to have an £11 four course meal. In spite of this, I attempted to order what I wanted - a shared starter for 2. He said that I was not allowed to have this because I would not be able to eat all of it, telling me that "this is too much food" and insisting once again that I have a full four course meal. I tried to tell him that a £7 shared starter, although being for 2 people, must surely still be smaller than a full four courses. I also pointed out that £7 is cheaper than the £11 four course offer. A mastered look of confusion and incomprehension followed as the waiter contorted his face to quizzically scowl at me. I knew I was beaten. I would not be able to outperform this masterclass. After being told a 2 person starter was too much food, I was obliged to order 3 unwanted courses. It was nice though. The best novelty curry experience I've ever had. Another member of our party attempted to order a Chicken Tikka Massala on the grounds that he was slightly drunk and so wanted something uncultured and anglicised. When the food arrived he was presented with a Chicken Saag. Realising there must have been some sort of mistake, he politely explained that he did not order this food, expecting the usual restaurant protocol of the correct meal being apologetically brought out slightly delayed. Not here. Not this pro! Instead, the waiter informed him that the Chicken Saag was in fact a much better order than what he had ordered anyway, so he should just have it. My friend politely tried to ask again for the meal he ordered. But despite the menu praising the Chicken Tikka Massala as "the UK's best & most popular dish", the waiter continued to incredulously retort "but this is better", bewilderedly pointing at the Chicken Saag, unable to comprehend the notion that someone would prefer to have what they ordered, rather than what he personally preferred. As with myself, my friend knows when he is beaten. Realising his only option was to extend this impenetrable pantomime farce to a slower yet still inevitable defeat, he obliged and began eating the Chicken Saag. Only a professional comedian would have a chance. Another absolute masterclass from the waiter. Not content with a 2-0 victory, the waiter, now on a hattrick, came back 5 minutes later with yet more comedy gold. In the middle of eating his randomly allocated curry, my friend was interrupted to be informed that the curry he hadn't ordered but was forced to accept was not only better than what he wanted, but also healthier. The waiter, as if making the assumption that the only possible explanation for someone ordering a Chicken Tikka Massala must be some sort of error and that they must not actually know what it is, explained to my friend that a Chicken Tikka Massala contains lots of sugar and cream. Then with impeccable comic timing once again, he pointed towards the visibly oily Chicken Saag, championing its health benefits. Another member of our party ordered a Lamb Karahi which was unexpectedly accompanied by a huge jug of yogurt. A hilarious prop. The toilet blew me away. It was like entering a different dimension. It was both inside and outside simultaneously and was one of the largest vibe shifts I've experienced in West Yorkshire. A laugh a minute, would recommend to anyone. Fantastic.

Given wrong order even after relaying what I ordered back to me, drove from Bolton Abbey to collect. Friendly, talkative and welcoming staff, they did offer to bring to us what we ordered, we declined due to how late in the evening it was.

Fantastic. Extensive menu and just the best garlic naan, super light, buttery and delicious. From start to finish a culinary delight and a superb deal on a Sunday evening, popular for a very good reason.
