    What a superb review and video tour of the area. You guys seem lovely; and that made the video even better.

    I somehow missed this video but enjoyed it
    I spent 3 weeks in Southern India one week in Kerala it’s an amazing place to visit & the food is very much influenced by the Portuguese in some places
    Paratha or Porotta is so much nicer than Naan it’s lighter & not heavy
    Lovely restaurant Chatter Guys
    It was a bit noisy but then so is India 😄

      Good point, LVP! We went to another noisy restaurant last week but we were with a large group and once everyone had arrived we didn't really notice the din 👍😊❤️

    I was brought up in Leeds and lived on the outskirts in a village called Calverley. Shirley Bassey also stayed at Queen's Hotel a long time ago . Love you guys :)

      Thank you for your comment, Dion. We reckon a lot of celebrities have stayed at The Queen's. It's a massive hotel and right in the heart of the city ❤️

    Hi Tim & Colin, what is a kerala curry like? X

    • @thechatterguys
      @thechatterguys  10 днів тому +1

      Hi Nicole. Kerala is a region of India and it has a lot of different curries but generally we find Kerala curries have more subtle and layered flavours than your average curry and most that we've tried have been milder. Hope this helped 😀❤️🪷 xx

    Hi Colin and Tim
    Wow all that construction work in Leeds thank goodness its calmed down now, Newcastle outskirts were the same for nearly five years.
    When you said you don't visit Leeds as much due to the price i was a bit confused by that, but will come back to that at the end of the review..
    Firstly when you looked at the menus all i can say is that your Indian pronunciation is 10 times better than mine 😆
    Colin your starter, my good friend going for the hot chili again, you where lucky with this one.
    Tim so sorry your starter was so bland, im sorry about that.
    Re the toilets i was impressed how clean they were and that mirror and its lights i bet you two have the same in your loo at home.
    Your main meals looked fine, but as to the price i thought that was quite high, and like i said at the start i was a bit confused as i thought Leeds was well priced, but things seem to have changed in the last few years.
    Great vlog guys,
    Chris.

      Hi Chris. Thank you for your comment. We don't think Leeds is any more expensive than other cities but most cities nowadays are pretty pricey. We reckon we can have a good weekend in Blackpool for the price of a night out in Leeds 🌈👛🤩

    Hi Chatter Guys. I so love watching your videos but one piece of constructive feedback. Please don’t order the same dishes as it’s great for the chatter gang to get your views on a variety of dishes - you can always try each others dish and comment on both 🥰

    I always check the toilets first before I eat in a new place, as the hygiene is suppose to represent the same in the kitchen, however I know you have been there before. Colin's starter deffo looked more appetizing than yours Tim- They will put you all together has there is less floor space to cover cleaning and maintenance wise - hate loud spaces, but you are correct if you are in a large group you don't notice other people as much and their noise.. I'm not going there now after this review as I trust you implicitly. 😍😍

      Those doughnuts might have been nice with some tasty 😋 dips but they weren't very tasty. City Square has radically changed in the last few years. We hardly recognise it ourselves 😀
