Reviews in Leeds City Centre

The restaurant is really nice, small and cosy, with a very friendly staff. And when it comes to food...it's just great, probably the best Italian food you will find in Leeds! The pizzas are just like the ones that you can find in Italy and the desserts are also really really good. Above all that, I must say that the prices are fair and it's a good value and great quality.

Went in a party of five and was very impressed. Steaks were cooked perfectly, dauphinoise potatoes were delicious and tempura prawns were light and tasty. Will definitely be back.

I had suggested this place to friends as we had never eaten French food in the UK before; very glad I did as it was spectacular. Delicious food - I had the poached egg in red wine followed by duck confit - and a wonderful relaxed ambiance contributed to an excellent dining experience. Will certainly be back.

A great little place. Superb service, plenty of meat and vegetable options, and everything was perfectly cooked (although the broccoli was stone cold). Will be back.

Very good food and good waiter service the BIG downside was that our table was booked for 8.00pm but did not get seated till 9.30pm and did not eat until 10.00pm.

The Old Steps just gets better and better. The lunchtime food must be the most reasonably priced and imaginatively presented in Leeds, thanks to French chef Raphie. The menu changes regularly and the drinks are also very good, they serve Leeds Brewery ale among other things. Very highly recommended.

Not recommended Service terrible

Just popped in to use their toilet, to tell the truth! Then had a peek at the menu over a drink. Decided I wasn't too hungry so ordered a ham sandwich, thinking that is what I would get. Well, when it arrived it was superb, and accompanied by a lovely salad! All very fresh and tasty and beautifully presented. Absolutely delicious! Returned a couple of weeks later, ordered the same, hoping it would be as good as previously. It was! A very large young man appeared from the kitchen and laid it before my companion and I with a cheerful flourish, wishing us Bon Appetit in a Scottish accent..... Next time I am going to try something from their main menu, having heard some great reports.

Came to Leeds for the day shopping with my mam and came across this place so decided to give it a go there was so much to choose from open the menu all home made too decided on the sampler 2 share and cheese board with a bottle of house white the food was absolutely fantastic and presentation great and the atmosphere in the place was lovely away from all the hustle and bustle of the city it was really cosy ended up staying for 2 hours wanted to try all the menu just wish this place was in middlesbrough would be here every week.and the staff were also very friendly.

Visited here recently for my 30th birthday as a group of 5... had read the rave reviews about the food and also thought ideal location (close to station) Although our table was booked in advance we had to wait over 45 minutes to be seated so it was 9.45 before we made it to our table... we then found out they were dedicating their time to the whole cast of Emmerdale who were also dining there so we were actually on the verge of leaving because of the appalling waiting time and were kept waiting in the bar area...food eventually arrived at about 10.15 and I have to say we were so genuinely disheartened by the experience, it was a good job the food was worth the wait. Presentation was exquisite, original and food was tasty, although not the best pan Asian cuisine I have ever tasted. Overall, it was a good dining experience, due to the quality of the food, but service was very slow (probably due to circumstance of pandering to emmerdale cast, but nevertheless we were paying customers, and its not cheap!) which let it down for all of us on such a momentous occasion.

if you want to wine and dine in a great atmosphere, enjoy great food then this is the place to go. I've been 3 times and each time has been fantastic. My friends husband wasn't looking forward to our night out at all...at the end of the night he said it was one of the best places he had ever been to, he thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the restaurant.

Have just spent the weekend in Leeds and visited the Conservatory every day for lunch and for a quick drink in the evening. The staff, service and food were fantastic, make sure you visit this wonderful eatery when visiting Leeds, its a definite must.

Been to this restaurant twice now, and have not been disappointed. The food is to die for, very well presented, extremely well cooked and tastes divine. This is quite possibly the best steak i have ever had. Can be a bit expensive if you have three courses and wine - we had two courses, a bottled beer each, bottle of water, and then coffees. which was £105 for two - but well worth it !!!.

We have been going to the Sheesh Mahal for over 10 years and have yet to be disappointed. The food is always of the best quality and the staff and friendly, helpful and very efficient. Whilst we generally go to the Sheesh Mahal on Kirkstall Road we have been to the one at Chapel Allerton which also serves the same quality food and have helpful and friendly staff. Always recommend to anyone asking where the best Indian restaurant is in Leeds.

I'm always impressed by the food at Azucar, especially the stuffed peppers and the tacos. This time I tried a dessert, a rum and raisin brownie which was also delicious. Service was also worth a mention - our waitress was friendly, solicitous and fully deserving of the tip we left. Will continue to come here regularly.

Indian is our fave food and have never tasted a better curry then at akmals! Best Indian ever moved, out of Leeds now though and miss it so much! cheap and the owner is a really nice man! and its BYOB

The best curry house i have tried. Recommended by friends. i used to go to sheesh mahal. Cookys has now become my regular.

New Mexican specialising in burritos and tacos. Stopped in for three chicken soft tacos and was very impressed by both the service and the flavours - will definitely drop in again.
