Reviews in Leeds City Centre

Is it just me that isn't wild about this place? Its alright yes and certainly doesn't deserve a slating, but i don't think its as amazing as other places in leeds and i don't understand why the place is regarded as something special! I've been to BiBi's a few times, trying different dishes on each visit. I've never been disappointed, but then again i certainly wasn't blown away! Looking at the prices of the food that i consider 'alright' but not amazing, i don't think its reasonable in my personal opinion and i would only go to BiBi's at another persons suggestion. In terms of Italian food, Dino's meals are just as good, and cost less and even Pizza express do better pizza! The service was friendly and quickish granted, but i find the decor very odd - the outside of the place looks lovely but see through glass toilet doors, big plasma screens playing adverts, an absolutely packed bar and wicker chairs aren't quite my cup of tea when eating in a 'fine italian restaurant'.... I'd much rather cross the road to eat in the equally priced thai restaurant. Its much better there all around and deserves more praise than BiBi's!

The young French chief is able to produce very good food. Been there for around two years now. Bar manager knows his customers. One real ale. First class selection of bottle beers and draft lagers. food specials most days.

Was there on Friday the 20th July. I’m from Newcastle went with my wife. The meal was beautiful the staff where all so polite and the atmosphere was brilliant. Would recommend it to anyone. We got a shared starter and two main courses and vodka’s and cokes and it only came to £43 pounds, I was expecting a bill of about £65 to £75 was well chuffed and tipped a £10. Go there you wont be disappointed.

I had a great meal here midweek, no pressure and a waitress who was happy to chat, for a change! I visit the city regularly and I use the hotel regularly for coffee and lunches. Thought I would try their evening menu, I was not disappointed

I love the Sheesh Mahal restaurant, it is by far the best Indian in Leeds. I can't get enough of it. Such large portions for such an average price. The staff are so friendly and welcome you as soon as walk in the door!

Even yorkshiremen would not complain about the price of food at Fuji Hiro. Inexpensive and positively mouthwatering and I make sure I visit every time I go to Leeds. The menu itself is fairly limited but this ensures that the food served to you is perfect in taste and substance. The decor puts me in mind of a formica table-topped greasy spoon cafeteria and this adds to the charm of the place. I cannot recommend Fuji Horo highly enough. If you have not been there you are missing out. If you enjoy good food, good service and good prices without fuss and pretence then this is the place for you.

While I found the restaurant a little cramped and the service a little slow, the food was excellent - especially the peppers with mascarpone - and they serve a killer Mojito. Definitely come early or book, though.

Having spend several months in China over the past few years I went to Red Chilli with some Customers. It was so good I went back with some other Customers 2 days later .The hot pots are spicy hot although excellent and the steamed fish is the best I have eaten in UK . Well worth a visit and the best Chinese in Leeds.

Expected very good things from all the great reviews we had read about Red Chilli. The food was outstanding - really really tasty. Unfortunately the service was pretty terrible. The waiting staff were surly, unfriendly & rude. Atmosphere in the restaurant not great either. Overall though it won't stop us returning for the great food!

I have reviewed this establishment may times over the years, having frequented it in all of its 3 locations. Bibis is simply the best there is - anywhere in the world, in my opinion. I think its possible to have a not so good time there, if you get your food choice wrong or if you're going for a quiet date. But if you want top bar staff and definitively good service combined with great, great food, book a table in a corner, let the waiter know you know what you want and demand his attention and you CANNOT fail to enjoy yourself. The Head Chef is a legend and the front of house staff are exemplary. This place has no equal in the whole world.

Definitely the best place for a private party in Leeds. Had my birthday party there last week. Thanks for looking after us Lianna you were a star!

I stumbled on this gem of a place whilst working in Leeds and since then I've been back three times and am planning to go this Friday too! The food is fresh, tasty and there's such a variety, and all reasonably priced. Also (as other reviewers have mentioned) they have lots of little authentic Japanese items which you don't get in any other Japanese restaurant except in Japan! This is the best one I have been to in the UK, I only wish it was in my home city!

What a great restaurant! Went to Leeds for my birthday and chose this place from reviews and was not disappointed. I had the vegetarian banquet (soup, 4 mini-starters, 2 mains and bread for £18.00 per head) and my husband had a fantastic seafood stew for £9.00. Fantastic food and great value for money.

Atmosphere and understatement! What a truly authentic and fantastic surroundings with a busy feel! Loved the food opted for the Banquet 4 of us eating! Def go again

Whilst other places come and go the longevity of this restaurant says it all. It has always been good. I used to go in the early 90s and the standards haven't dipped. The food is excellent, the service is unobtrusive and swift, and the cost is reasonable. Always a nice place to be.

What a fantastic restaurant - I loved the impression of sitting on the floor. The marshmallow parcels and the profiteroles were amazing and such a delicious surprise when I bit into them (yes, I shared two puddings!!) - am intending to take my son there, as he lived in Tokyo for 6 months.

Been going viva cuba's restaurant in kirkstall for a few years now and have always had a great time. Visited their new restaurant in the city centre and am pleased to say that it is just as good!! Both restaurants serve great food with great service and all at a reasonable price.

We tried Viva Cuba after a recommendation from a friend... the food is delicious and the staff were very friendly, and it? amazing how busy the place always is. I would say value for money is ok; the portions are good size for money. Just difficult if you want to order lots of different dishes !!
