The Best Restaurants in Ryhill, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom (2025)

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing my first visit to Corirama was last night. What a wonderful place. The restaurant is open Wednesday to Saturday and everything served is vegan and gluten free. We chose the combination board, where the chef chooses what you have. Everything on there was amazing. The teff bread is like nothing I’ve ever seen or tasted but it’s incredible. It’s bring your own booze, so we took some crisp, cold Riesling, which complimented the food perfectly. The service was exceptional. We were instantly made to feel welcome and the owner immediately recognised my friends who’d been before. Despite owning a coffee shop, I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to coffee but the traditional coffee served was beautiful. Anyway enough waffle. Please try this place, it’s awesome. Can’t wait to go back ♥️

Wonderful friendly atmosphere with really interesting flavours and experiences. A really interesting 'guide' to the flavours and context about the different meals was a lovely touch. Great value for money for a night out; the variety of spices, pulses and other component parts wouldn't be something you'd typically make at home or find anywhere else. Its not every day you'll find okra and teff wraps; spend a little to explore the world!

A hidden gem! We had such a wonderful meal last night. The service was fantastic, the food divine, and it's completely different to anywhere I'd been before. A truly authentic dining experience, and one I hope to have again!

Healthy vegetarian/vegan food amazingly flavoured, beautifully presented by an incredibly welcoming host. Highly recommended - best eating out experience I've had in Wakefield.

The best Spanish restaurant in West Yorkshire, Jose is very friendly and makes you feel welcome in his restaurant. The food was delicious, the restaurant is very nice, cosy, good atmosphere there. I highly recommend this place :)

Wow! What a hidden gem! Fantastic Spanish tapas and lovely wine. The staff were professional and friendly. It was a pleasure to meet Jose and his wife Sofia. The food was all homemade and authentic...just one regret that we didn't leave enough room for dessert. We will definitely return.

Fantastic experience, family run business with great attentive staff. Food is excellent and some of the best tapas outside of Spain. Good selection of core menu and a specials which change. Food comes out at a nice pace and is relaxed. Restaurant isn’t huge so a nice cosy feel.

Booked a table for 8, the staff and service was excellent. Great advice on the number of items to order, 4 per couple which worked out perfectly. The paella for 2 went down very well. The 3 ladies serving ensured the dishes flowed well. Even a little room for the house special cheesecake, which was delicious. Order your paella first as it is cooked fresh and can take 30/40 mins, then plan your other dishes.

Absolutely incredible food! I came in with my bestie for food tonight and everything was amazing! Really polite and friendly service. Will be coming back for sure

Thank you for a wonderful birthday party. The best service, wonderful, helpful and always friendly people. There are really no words to describe how great the food is. Dear friends, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a wonderful time.

Our first time visiting Aya Wakefield and they are FANTASTIC!! The funniest, most thoughtful staff, nothing was too much to ask. A fantastic atmosphere, decor was spot on and the service was first class. We will be returning very very soon! Thank you!!

Such an amazing place! The food was epic and the atmosphere was welcoming! Every course of the meal was perfect and if you struggle to decide, ask for a recommendation you will not be disappointed! The Baklava, Raki and Turkish Tea/Coffee was the perfect way to end the experience! Great place for any occasion! Cannot not wait to return!

Crisps and biscuits only but great beer and a friendly homely atmosphere.

This has to be the friendliest pub around. Great atmosphere great prices fabulous staff! There is also a very large function room making it a brilliant party venue.

Amazing place, staff friendly and helpful. Not too expensive either. Highly recommended

We received a voucher from our letting agents to try a local restaurant. We really enjoyed our meal . We had some snacks, starters, mains and an extra side . I had an aperitif drink and a wine , my husband had a cider . Without the voucher it would have been around £75. Service was good at arrival and throughout but slow in the end when wanting to pay. It’s a pretty restaurant with a nice atmosphere. I’d recommend as a good restaurant in Wakefield.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Iris! The blue cheese arancini for starter was a standout with its well-balanced flavors and lovely texture. The confit duck leg for the main course and the golden snitch for dessert were equally delicious. The service from the staff was excellent. We will definitely be returning for more delicious meals! There was also a good atmosphere in the restaurant… it was busy but not too loud which a good selection of music playing.

Never had a bad meal here. The best Sunday roast in Yorkshire puddings to die for! Starters are a must i can never manage a pudding as well but they looks special. Staff are very attentive.

Lovely little restaurant serving top quality classics, often with a twist. Come here relatively regularly, always very good. They are very accommodating for our children, we come with a toddler to an early sitting and the staff are amazing with her.

gorgeous meal with my friend for my birthday! fabulous food & service!

Excellent food and service. Crab linguine was fantastic, pizza topping was fantastic although I personally felt it could have done with a couple more minutes in the oven, and that was the general consensus on the table. Extensive menu, plus a specials board. Nice to have a choice of multiple house wines. Easy parking, would definitely visit again.

Our party of 10 ate here for a family birthday celebration. We had brought a box of 'mini' cupcakes from M&S to each have as we sang Happy Birthday before we left. Before we even had chance to put these into our mouths, a waitress came to our table, saying we couldn't eat food from outside the restaurant and we were not to eat them and to put them away. Her manner was shockingly abrupt, rude, aggressive and condescending. We were unaware of the restaurant's policy, and would not have brought them otherwise. But the attitude of this waitress was so shocking that we all agreed she could have explained the restaurant's policy to us in a more pleasant and professional manner. We paid the bill which was nearly £300, but the waiter returned to say we hadn't paid enough and wanted a further £20.00. We questioned this, and when the bill was recalculated, we had actually been overcharged by £65.00!!! In conclusion, the food here is very nice and we had a lovely family birthday, but somewhat spoilt by one waitress with a bad attitude towards customers. Don't take your own celebratory birthday cakes and check the bill!!!!

Great food and very conveniently located for the M1 and near to local attractions. We were warmly greeted and seated by the very friendly Alison and the menu had options for gluten free, veggie and vegan guests. The food was delivered quickly and was fresh and tasty. Just wish I had room for more as the puddings looked very appealing! For a Weds eve it soon got busy and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. A lovely spot.

Generally good service with a smile. The various meats available were very good and tasty although the gammon was excessively salty. The salad bar had a very nice selection but the hot choices were lacking. The Sticky Toffee pudding was delicious. A reasonable choice of beers but I expected more South American beers on the list.

Really beautiful food, we came to celebrate a friend's birthday & looking to book again. We used the £20 lunch deal, and it was absolutely amazing value for money! The salad bar was evidently fresh and constantly restocked, the meat came around with really nice waiting staff, who were polite and helpful. My daughter has ARFID & eating out makes it difficult for us, luckily the salad bar had lots of her safe foods on, such as plain rice, crackers, boiled egg and cheese. The staff also put chips on our table and brought more once they had been eaten. I didn't need to mention my daughters food disorder due to how friendly the staff were and how much of it was accessible to her needs. To find somewhere that gives her the opportunity to sit and eat in an actual restaurant with access to a large number or safe foods means the world to us as a family. We will certainly be returning 😊 10/10. *it is also incredibly clean and modern inside, a really beautiful place.

Went here for our wedding anniversary.Service absolutely fantastic,food was absolutely lovely ,really enjoyed ourselves,can’t wait to go again!

We bought a gift voucher 50% off and we eager to try. The salad bar had everything you need, everything was fresh and continuously being topped up. The best bit for me was unlimited peppercorn sauce yummy! The halal meats were good I think only a few options weren't served to us as they weren't halal. My favourite was the garlic steak. Garlic bread was amazing and they even bought chips to the table. Im not too happy with the 10% charge and the charity donation as this wasn't discussed. The hot pineapple was great. I enjoyed and would return. Parking is an issue!

All the staff were very welcoming. Ash was lovely, lively, welcoming and very informative. The lamb chops were excellently cooked and well seasoned and the special lamb and chicken karahi's (served in the pan after 30 mins cooking) were a taste sensation, the spicing was delicate and the meat just fell apart in the mouth. The mixed starter was also excellent quality with a variety of delectable dishes (the seekh kebab was tender and the bhaji was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle) 🤤🤤 We will definitely be back 😀😀

Probably the best in Wakefield! Always excellent food and good atmosphere with great service too. The Early bird menu is great value for money. Please note it is cash only .

Probably the best curry place in Wakefield. Amazing food Great service Free car park at the rear of the restaurant or a payment car park next door. Good menu selection with lots of vegan / vegetarian options. They will also make to order Cash only, or bank transfer. Early bird menu is a good deal. Waiters Ash and “H” are very entertaining and provide good knowledge of the dishes. Food - Good flavours and decent amount of heat, lots of choice.

My fav place to eat out! I had my Christmas dinner here and will be my new tradition! Everytime I go whether that eat in or take out, I am never disappointed the quality is consistent every time. The food is tasty and the staff can not do enough for you!

Nice little no frills country real ale boozer.

Won plenty awards from camra for the beer over the years , Dec the owner should have another award for best banter and blaggarding.ive had plenty a side splitting belly laff in here over the years . Rich poor young old everyone treated the same .

Love this pub, Dec is a great bloke n keeps his ales perfectly. One of the main things I miss since moving out of the area! Can't wait to visit again soon!!

I booked this for a special occasion and it didn't disappoint! From first contact with the staff on the phone they went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Parking is best at the Newmiller Dam 5mins walk down the road. It is pay and display but free after 18:00. The restaurant is amazing as soon as you walk in there are so many private areas and historical features. Spread over multiple levels with lots of bars. The build spec is top notch. The staff are exceptional. Because we have a child on the spectrum the staff went the next level to accommodate us which is very rare. The sign of well trained and professional staff. We sat in a private booth near the kitchen which was vibrant and loads of space the relax. The menu is vast with something for everyone. Classic Italian dishes but with modern twist. Good for vegan and vegetarian and they asked about allergies before ordering. All the food was delicious and cooked to perfection. I had steak and it ranked among the best I have ever had. With a kids menu which is very generous and well thought out. The staff are attentive but allow you to enjoy your space. Very impressed and planning the next trip in the near future. Highly recommend.

One of our party isn’t that mobile, and the staff were so accommodating, from letting us know where to park and being very welcoming as we arrived. We were there Sunday lunchtime, and there’s a Sunday lunch menu, but the whole a la carte menu is also available. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. The interior is stunningly decorated. 3 of the party went for the roast lunch and one from the main menu. The food was delicious and all in all a most relaxing and pleasant family time. Will certainly go back.

Such a beautiful restaurant that I have been eager to visit! The staff were very friendly and helpful with great customer service, the atmosphere was very cosy over the Christmas period, with festive decorations everywhere and a big Christmas tree. The food was outstanding, I got the Christmas set menu where I selected the Italian vegetable soup with bread, a sirloin steak with mustard seed and mushroom sauce and a side of veggies, and a profiterole with whipped cream for dessert, everything was so delicious and divine. 10/10 recommendation and will definitely be returning!

Excellent meal for my wife's birthday on a Saturday evening. We arrived slightly early and were shown to the bar while our table was made ready, so took advantage of getting a bottle of wine prior to sitting down. We were seated in the centre of the room, close to the old water wheel. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Had a garlic pizza bread to start, followed by a goat's cheese pizza while my wife had a salmon pasta dish. Dessert was a crème brulėe, while my wife had a liqueur coffee. Beautiful surroundings, wonderful atmosphere. Will definitely return again soon.
