12. Voujon
A customer at Voujon, Headingley, said: "Staying at the attached hotel I popped in about 8pm on Friday. Reasonably busy and was sat down, with pint of Cobra, to peruse the menu. Selected the chicken tandoori roti with chapati. Hot, tasty and bang on for flavour, moist chicken and flavoursome sauce. Just as expected. Service immaculate as was the décor." Photo: Voujon
