After a long day at a Conference we finally made it to Leicester’s famous Toro’s Steakhouse. We were well received and seated immediately. Although the Steakhouse was packed to the rafters, with diners. Toro’s has a relaxed almost casual atmosphere with painted pictures of the various steak cuts and a guide to the Steak […]

Cona, Little Germany, Bradford
I remember the days when TV only had 4 channels and my Sundays rotated around watching Italian football and Masterchef. Each week I would pay scant attention until Lloyd Grossman came to his final long winded conclusion to the show. The winners were announced after the judges had “deliberated, cogitated and digested”. Thank goodness […]
Texas Grill, Southampton
Ever since I read an online review of Texas Grill, I’ve been itching for an opportunity to drive down to Southampton to try out the 8oz Beef patties stuffed with gooey Monterrey Jack cheese. Even the most vehement burger fan would find it difficult to drive 90+ miles to satisfy their beefy fix. A family […]
Five Lads Peri Peri, Leyton, London
Whilst returning from an exhausting day shopping at Westfield Stratford City, 5 members of Team HaloodieFoodie decided to stop off at Leyton’s uniquely named Five Lads Peri Peri!! We arrived at around 7.30pm and the restaurant was brimming with diners and a queue of expectant people formed quite rapidly. The décor is modern and fresh, perfect for casual dining. Due […]
Red Iron Burgers, Uxbridge, London
I’ve heard wonderful things about Red Iron Burgers via the Best Halal burger in the world group on Facebook. When a work meeting came up in West London, I had an additional excuse to make the long trek along the North Circular and the infamous A40. Two weeks prior to my visit I stumbled across the […]

After making a mad dash from my base in Stoke Newington I finally arrived at 7.30pm. Hoping […]
Prashad Indian Vegetarian Cuisine, Drighlington, Suburbian Bradford
Prashad rose to notoriety in 2010 by coming second in Gordon Ramsay’s Best Restaurant. This is the first time I’ve visited to the new premises and its much, much bigger than the old restaurant. As you’ll expect, the level of décor has also improved markedly.
Before leaving for Prashad, I was quite apprehensive, my last visit to a pure vegetarian eatery resulted in a quick visit to a famous burger joint on the way home!! If you follow my instagram stream you’ll notice that although i’m a Gujarati by birth I consume loads of meat, I blame my maternal genes. Thanks Mum!!

The Gourmet Hut II (TGH 2, The Return)
Six months after my initial visit, I decided to visit The Gourmet Hut again for my post-inspection visit! As I was going with a group of teachers, I decided to give an afternoons notice!! The setting remains the same small, warm and cosy place with low slung pendent lighting and comfortable seating, studded with painted […]
