Brooks – IlkleyLoved everything about our visit. The food, service and atmosphere all excellent.
Brooks – IlkleyEaten at quite a few Tapas restaurants, but this one is different, in a VERY GOOD way. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our food, and it fitted perfectly before a show at The King's Hall. Will definitely re-visit. (It's shortly changing its name to reflect its Sri Lankan roots.)
Brooks – IlkleyThis was our first visit to this restaurant even though we live in Ilkley. Wow the food was amazing and the staff were so lovely. There was plenty of choice and everything we had was really fresh and delicious and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.
Brooks – IlkleyWent to Brooks for the first time for my birthday last week and was very impressed. Nice friendly staff and atmosphere and lovely food. Will be back soon!
Brooks – IlkleyThe Restaurant was beautifully finished and the host was great , the food was Excellent we had 6 of the meat tapas with coconut rice and chili potatoes we will certainly be back
Brooks – IlkleyOutstanding friendly and helpful service, delicious dishes and a perfect change from traditional holiday fare. A gem of a restaurant which has encouraged me to learn how to make kimchi! Portions are generous in most cases and three dishes per person more than enough. A lovely heartfelt story about how the restaurant came into being is a great touch. Ilkley must be very happy to have such a go-to destination!
Brooks – IlkleyReally, really tasty great food with fab staff!
Brooks – IlkleyWonderful meal. This was the first time I had eaten at a Sri Lankan restaurant and the food was fantastic. We shared a Brooks platter as an appetiser and both had 2 tapas dishes each with a side of rice and found this to be just about right when both rather hungry. Very friendly and courteous staff who helped with our choice of dishes too, would highly recommend if tired of the same quinine’s and looking to try something fresh
Brooks – IlkleyWe had a lovely dinner here post walk on Ilkley Moor. The food choices were interesting, beautifully presented and tasty--we ordered vegetarian and were impressed with each dish. Really enjoyed the gin/elderberry sorbet with the raspberry dessert. Highly recommend.
Brooks – IlkleyA restaurant to return to time and time again. Everything about our experience was so positive and delicious, too! Brooks is unique in flavors, service and atmosphere: 5 stars all the way
Brooks – IlkleyWe had a lovely meal earlier this week. The service was fantastic. He was very attentive and explained the menu well. The food was lovely. The beef was very tender, the chicken livers were tasty and the tempura veg a delight. We thought the bread was a bit doughy so this was taken off our bill. We sat downstairs and even though we were near the door thought the atmosphere was nice.
Brooks – IlkleyOur first visit to Brooks and it definitely won't be our last. Delicious food, super-attentive and friendly staff and great service. The lovely owner is full of great stories about the dishes and the inspiration behind them. Go - you won't be disappointed!
Brooks – IlkleyOur second visit and instantly we were remembered from our first, the staff could not be more genuine and helpful. The owner is the most passionate and amazing woman who will tell you stories of her mother her inspirations and her dedication to this gastronomic feast. The food was even more amazing than I remembered the atmosphere most congenital. Food was cooked with memories of mothers own recipes and enthused with execution of quality and presentation. Succulent pork beef chicken and prawn dishes full of again and Sri Lankan delights. I was transported to the island full of flavour. Amazing food. If I was to make a recommendation it would be to be proud of the authenticity of the food and history and fill the restaurant with authentic sounds and music...transport me to the island of Sri Lanka and beyond.. the food is amazing and deserves the complete ambience it warrants. I will be back a thousand times.
Brooks – IlkleyAs always, great service from well trained and friendly staff. They will not let you order too much food. Just love the comprehensive menu, full of flavour and very fresh. Sensibly priced all round abs a lovely atmosphere.
