They cover a wide variety of southern Indian dishes, among which you’ll find some unusual treats. Time Out tip: Look out for crab cooked in coconut sauce, excellent fried lentil doughnuts and toffee-filled steamed rice cake."

"Tharavadu is a multi-award-winning Indian restaurant in Leeds, making it a no-brainer for your curry fix. Feast on a selection of authentic Keralan dishes - chilli paneer, marinated sea bass and masala dosas - and you'll see why it's gained such acclaim."

"When to go: When you want to change a carnivores opinion of vegetarian cooking. What to have: Gujlawa. With two cookbooks, two AA Rosettes, a Bib Gourmand, popular Vegetarian cookery classes, their own Garam Masala blend on sale, and a dedication to serving their local Bradford community, this could be one of the most hard-working families in the business."

"Teppanyaki showcases a quintessentially Japanese style of cooking which revolves around grilling. In fact, the word Teppan means Iron Hot Plate and Yaki means “to grill.” Well known for their welcoming yet sophisticated service, if you’re looking for somewhere with a social atmosphere, you could do worse than Teppanyaki. Perfect for those looking for something a little out-of-the-ordinary, their menu includes all kinds of wonderful dishes."

"If the answer is yes, you need to go and experience Teppanyaki.

Watch as your skilled chefs cook your food in front of your own eyes to the best of standards, feel your jaw drop as they juggle and flip your food, throwing a dash of fire into the mixture."

"I have no idea why because it’s always been there, I love Japanese food and it’s not like it’s out of the way. But for some strange reason, I’m yet to visit. However, I’m including it because they do serve sushi and I promise that I’m going to visit soon, in the name of blog research of course."

"For an authentic taste of Thai cuisine in York, The Old Siam is the place to check out. Aside from the food, the interiors and even the music are expressive of Thai culture. This restaurant is a great spot for dinner, particularly because it’s only open in the evenings."

"We take pride in creating an exclusive Thai, fine dining experience. Our chefs use fresh ingredients, spices, and herbs to create textures, flavours, and aromas on every single dish. Food delivery is available and we are open Tuesday to Sunday from 5 – 9 pm."

"If you’re looking for somewhere a little more informal to indulge in the aromatic flavours of the East, then this is the place for you!. Thai Sabai literally means ‘a feeling of well-being, a place to relax’ and their modest interiors and friendly staff certainly reflect this. They have an excellent menu of starters, mains, sides and desserts but if you struggle with decision making, opt for one of their set menus which start at 18.95 pp."

"This local favourite is out in the Headingley ’burbs, but it’s worth the trek. From the outside it looks like a takeaway, but don’t be fooled. Inside you’ll find a few rows of tables, Thai wood carvings and low lighting – a fuss-free environment that allows the food to shine."

"With an extensive menu and authentic food, this award-winning restaurant is a must for those with a taste for Indian food. The menu offers mouth-watering dishes such as chicken chilli massala, mala king prawns and chicken tikka with garlic balti!"

"In the near centre of Wakefield sits the magnificent Wakefield Cathedral, or the even grander title of the Cathedral Church of All Saints in Wakefield. Although we owe the Victorians for Wakefield Cathedral’s current appearance, restored and reopened in 1888, it has been a place of worship since the 9th-century, and has even been mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086. Today, anyone can come and have an informal, 45 minute tour of this historic cathedral, with no booking required and completely free!"

"Another incredibly old building, Wakefield Cathedral is the tallest church in Yorkshire and has a long and fascinating history. Although it has been developed and rebuilt at various points over the past 900 years, the building which exists today dates back to the 14th century. Its 247-foot tall spire is visible from many of the suburbs of Wakefield and even beyond on a clear day."

"Interesting features include some memorable stained glass windows - one depicting the Parable of the Widow’s Mite and one window commemorating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. A 17th century organ case - the present one was rebuilt in 1885; carved choir stalls - one with a carved pelican representing the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, and a finely painted column in the centre of the South Chapel in memory of those from the parish who lost their lives in the First World War. Reverend Patrick Duckworth will be pleased to talk to school parties – with the enclosed garden area providing a perfect spot for children to eat their packed lunch."
