Reviews in Ilkley

Another excellent meal wilh attentive service! Keep up the good work.

We were visiting Ilkley for a long weekend and booked this on the Sunday eve because we both love Sirlanka food. The veggie, fish and meat choice was brilliant. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere nice and relaxed. We are returning to Ilkley in the summer and will definitely visit again to experience more of this amazing menu.

We visited Brooks on Sunday for the buffet. We were greeted with a warm friendly welcome. The atmosphere was great, friendly and relaxed. The food on offer was delicious and full of flavour,from the hot and cold starter a main selection through to desert. Will certainly be back to experience the full menu. And would recommend to anyone!

Amazing food, lovely and friendly service, real value for money for the quality of the food. Every dish was delicious! Will definitely come again.

Delicious food, excellent choice for meat, fish and veggie diners! Waiting staff were helpful and courteous. Dessert menu was really different, a real change from the standard choices you often see elsewhere . Will definitely be back!

We were given a voucher for Brooks as a gift, we had never heard of it before. We went for lunch on Friday and had an amazing meal. The service was impeccable and the food was fabulous. The nicest meal we've had in a long time, we will definitely be back. We'll done.

The best food with the best atmosphere! We took our 3 children for an early meal and we were looked after so well by Phil & Sudu. This is one of our favourite places to eat in Ilkley!

Great quality food, in a friendly atmosphere.

Great authentic Sri Lankan food served as small plate dishes. Wonderful flavours and a wide variety of choice. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly service.

Our first visit, Friday lunchtime. The service was great from the start and only got better. The food was fantastic with great depth of flavour and plenty of choice. Hoping to go back and try the Sunday buffet.

Headed here again for our wedding anniversary, as usual a very warm welcome, quickly showed to our table. Superb meal, very attentive team. Will not be our last visit!

We visited for a celebratory birthday lunch last Saturday; this was their new location next to Specsavers at one end of the town’s car park. The place looked very upmarket, there was already a jug of cold water on the table, fairy lights enhanced the atmosphere, and the overall ambience of the place was excellent and inviting. Ceylon Chicken, Sri Lankan Devilled Beef, Spicy Liver Badum, Moratuwa Chicken, Chicken Kottu, Sri Lankan Tiger Prawn Curry, Pineapple Moju, 3 sides (Pol roti, Coconut rice and spicy baby potatoes) and Watalappan for dessert. We also had Colombo chai (spiced). All this was more than enough for 3 hungry persons. You can look them up in their online menu for further descriptions on www.brooksilkley.co.uk/menu. Each and every item was very authentic; I have been to Sri Lanka and can vouch for this. Amazing and delicious tastes all round, very well presented. Small touches like premier cutlery and crockery, actual cloth napkins, right down to the small Kilner sealed container for the brown sugar accompanying the tea and also the warmed-up milk that came with it, were all a resounding testimony to outstanding attention detail that the owners have invested in. It is a family-run business; we were given an excellent welcome and attention throughout subsequently from Sudu, the owner who was very knowledgeable and informative – nothing was too much for her. Her nephew Nisel was also very helpful. It is really a very unique experience – despite being a foodie I have not heard of any Sri Lankan restaurant anywhere offering a tapas-like experience. They also do a Sunday afternoon buffet which we shall try at some stage in the near future. Slightly pricey (our bill came to about £114) – we did go over the top a bit while ordering - but in view of all of the above, really worth it, I would opine. In future, we would like to try other items on their menu, perhaps exercising a degree of restraint on what we order. Altogether an extremely pleasurable dining experience – very highly recommended

As returning customers normally ordering from a menu, we were not surprised at the lovely quality and choices of the Sunday buffet. Came as a family and was thoroughly enjoyable. Surprised to see the new premises quite quiet, as usually a very busy and well supported restaurant. Hence the lower score for atmosphere. We wish you well at your new premises, and hope to return again soon. Many thanks
