What Samuel Phillips doesn't like about Makins At Helmsley:
The food was SWEET instead of SPICY..it's not an authentic indian restaurant..the food was more Bangladeshi instead of indian..the only indian thing about this restaurant is it's name!The naan and chapati are ready made from supermarkets!Never gonna order from here again.Wish I could give anything less than View all feedback. What jasmin ciliberti likes about Makins At Helmsley:
No complaints about this Asian restaurant. The decor is a bit dated but the service was good and our food had just the right amount of spice. Generous portions. The bottled beer was expensive View all feedback.

Visited Helmsley for the day. Lovely independant shops. The assistants in all of them were wonderfully friendly. Good old fashioned service with a smile.

The Indian restaurant received mixed reviews, with some criticizing the lack of authenticity and quality of the food. However, the North York Moors Indian restaurant was highly recommended for its freshly cooked dishes. In Helmsley, dining options on a Sunday night were limited, leading to a disappointing experience for one visitor. The town itself was praised for its independent shops, friendly staff, and charming atmosphere. Overall, visitors enjoyed exploring Helmsley and appreciated the variety of places to eat. Personal recommendations were made for specific dishes and experiences at various establishments in the area.
