Bab Tooma Grande in Bradford

Brilliant food and service was lovely. It was my sisters’ birthday, at the start a server came over and said a sweet congratulations - at the end of the night they put a birthday song on and gave a free pudding without being asked. We were very grateful. Absolutely would come again because of its overall fantastic quality of food, service, aesthetics and atmosphere.

The food and service was lovely. The waiting staff were very helpful in explaining the different dishes available. We tried the lamb kebab chicken kebab. Very succulent. Kunafa and the Arabic ice cream was delicious.

Amazing food really good staff . Best food

Delicious food and great customer service would highly recommend this place to all! Can’t wait to visit again

Brilliant experience with Shaeeda she was so kind and professional. Will come again. Very good service.

Great service amazing food will come again

Thank you for making us feel at home.

Great food and service from everyone.

Beautiful place filled with beautiful servers and lovely food..

Stopped by Bab Tooma Restaurant and tried their Shawarma—absolutely delicious! The meat was perfectly seasoned and fresh, and the flavours were spot on. It’s a simple dish done right, and it's definitely worth a try. The place has a nice vibe, and the service was quick and friendly. A solid spot for tasty Middle Eastern food—I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu!

Was a great service , lovely atmosphere and great food. Nothing more you could ask for really !! Was an amazing birthday evening out !!

Food was Delicious and nice calm atmosphere and good service.

We came in Saturday, we ordered the Feast and lemon & mint which was very freshly in this sunny weather. The waiter was very kind and always keeping an eye on our table to give us the best service. And the Kunafa was out of this world, highly recommend. And we had some starters on house as well. Shout out to Hussam( as u think) for the good service, and we totally will be back. It's our favourite now, DELICIOUS FOOD

ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE 🙌 **THE FEAST** for two has Exceptional flavors paired with impeccable presentation made every bite unforgettable 🫶🏻 And The attentive, friendly service elevated the entire dining experience to perfection 🤝

Bab Tooma was such a lovely spot for a work lunch, we shared a platter, some bread and hummus. Delicious food and great service!

Great experience and food was as expected. Adrian was serving us and was very helpful and attentive of all needs. Great guy

Been here a few times and it’s always lovely, the vibes and food is wonderful!!

Great place to eat, lovely service

Highly recommend lovely food being several times .

Shaheeda was our waitress, she was very attentive and polite. The food was amazing as always and we will definitely be coming again

Great food and staff were excellent

First time visiting Bab Tooma and it was an extremely enjoyable evening with friends and family. Food was amazing especially the leg of lamb which was served with a gorgeous sauce that really set off some amazing flavours. The service was great and staff were very attentive. The place and ambience was very welcoming and made me feel at ease, I didn’t feel like I was sat in a restaurant. Would highly recommend Bab Tooma for so many reasons

Very delicious food, excellent service, highly recommended to family and friends, thank you

Great service, and the food was delicious!

Adrian was very nice in customer service and helpful

Dined last night with friends, lovely decor and ambience, kind attentive staff, good quality food and service! Thankyou

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bob Tooma Grande Restaurant, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with just the right balance of casual comfort and refined charm. The menu is diverse and packed with flavor—every dish we tried was clearly crafted with care and high-quality ingredients. From the bold spices to the fresh produce, everything tasted homemade and authentic. The service was another highlight: friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff who made sure we felt welcome and well taken care of throughout the meal. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Bob Tooma Grande is absolutely worth a visit. It’s a place that makes you want to come back—not just for the food, but for the whole experience. Highly recommended!

We visited Bab Tooma today as a family, including our autistic daughter who was feeling a bit overwhelmed. During the visit, she was about to have a meltdown and smashed a plate and a juice bottle , and while we initially thought we’d need to leave straight away because of our daughter was getting overwhelmed but the staff were absolutely amazing — calm, caring, and incredibly understanding. They quickly cleaned up without making us feel uncomfortable or rushed. Their kindness and compassion made such a difference. We actually felt so supported by their attitude that we decided to stay, and as a family, we were able to enjoy our meal together — something that means a lot. The food, as always, was delicious, but what really stood out was the genuine warmth and respect shown by the team. It’s rare to find places that not only serve great food but also treat people with such dignity — especially parents of children with special needs. Hats off to the entire team at Bab Tooma. We’ll definitely be back — not just for the food, but because of how welcome and valued we felt. Highly, highly recommend! 💛

I looked pregnant after I ate here; the food was amazing. My big back of a father couldn't even finish everything. Service was great too, food arrived quickly (there wasnt that many people so thats prolly why). ADRIAN WAS VIBES SHOUT OUT TO HIM🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣 he's a chill guy pls give him a raise plsplspls🙏

Loved the ambiance and food. Totally recommend

My first time at Bab tooma and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely sublime I definitely recommend the Lamb Kebab - it was so delicious there were no leftovers! I will be returning again 100%

The food is amazing. Adrian provided us an amazing service. Well recommended 👌 👏 👍

Loved the food, came with family and enjoyed the food, the staff was friendly we visited on Tuesdays the hospitality was soo good it's now a favourite place to go might not for the food but for the customer service specially Hossam was very good with the hospitality by clarifying things and suggesting the best dishes possible and he gave a complimentary tea as well ❤️

I visited babtooma and found miss (Danny)to be welcoming polite, odereed my food easy with her. Whilst I was waiting she offered me soup with no charge which I have never expected anywhere. she is a credit to the restaurant!!!.

Very good food, waiters are very polite and caring. Recommend it !

Excellent meal, really enjoyed our first time here. Would highly recommend

Very nice atmosphere best deserts in Bradford nice polite staff good value

Lovely atmosphere.. friendly staff and great food.

Food very good, Shahida and Adrian great service

Have been here a couple of times before. I have always liked the food. The lentil soup at the beginning is always nice. Had some Fattoush salad, Hummus and Feast for 2. All the food was enjoyed. The meat, chicken and rice were spot on but not a particular fan of the pickled cabbage on top of the meat pieces tbh. Maybe next time I'll ask for this not to be added. Lamb chops were just right 👌🏻

Great food. Adrian was very friendly and gave a great service. Shaheeda was great too.

Shahida was very enthusiastic, the atmosphere was nice, and the food was delicious :)

We were served by a lovely Adrian who was very helpful and recommended the pistachio ice cream Kunafa. The Kunafa served was delicious and just as we expected.

Great service, food delicious, vibes are on point, lovely stuff

Very nice selection of food. Beautiful atmosphere with very good deco. We were served by Ali who was very nice and helpful. Booked a table for 10 online very easy setup. We all had a really good time and enjoyed the food. We ordered the beast platter and the feast platters. Definitely going back again to the Bradford site.

Loved it :) Great service, nice ambiance. Would recommend!

Really good standard of food, and the service by Ali was outstanding.

Great service , delicious food and good atmosphere

All what I wanna say is everything was just perfect, the food was delicious and it came hot, we tried the Feast and the Cold platter which was amazing. And the waiters was really polite and helpful, they gave us lental soup and tea on house as well

I went out for dinner with my sisters the food was absolutely gorgeous. The service was 10/10 and the restaurant had an amazing atmosphere I would definitely be coming here again

Food was not great at all. The service was terrible... waited 25 minutes for someone to take our order even though it was mainly empty. Got ignored twice. The only good think was the drinks and soup.

Nice experience overall, I tried the open buffet in Ramadan, it was good I liked the shawarma and the meat Adana and there was wide range of sauces and appetizers. The Moloukhia was not the best I ate. The shish was good but not perfect

Great service great food! We came for my dad’s birthday and were very happy with the traditional food experience and service from everyone. The cold mezze platter and Arabic teapot were excellent.

Let’s start with positives, absolutely delicious food, could not fault it one bit, so flavoursome and meats cooked to perfection. Now the not so good…the staff were unbearably unattentive, no menus given upon arrival, had to ask for them after not being given any still 15 mins after arrival. constantly having to crane my neck to get their attention to chase up food. 1 hour after arriving and we still had no starters, this is when there was only 1 or 2 other tables in at the time (we arrived at 16.30). drinks weren’t served til said starters arrived, including the tap water. another 30 min wait between starts and mains, and it wasn’t just us, every table around us seemed to be having the same issues. when we mentioned to a waiter that we were not impressed by the wait times and lack of communication (not even a “sorry for the wait, your food will be with you in 5” or anything of the sort at all), he just said “oh sorry for that”. no receipt able to be given with the bill, just told the amount, went to check at the till because the price sounded off and there were dishes in there we didnt even order. no thank you or apology for the poor service upon leaving. so yeah it’s a shame really, someone is cooking some amazing food but doesn’t have the team to go with it :/

Ordered 2 drinks , 2 starters and a main to share. When we arrived we wasn’t provided with any menus and only got these after 10 minutes because we asked. Nobody came to take our order for another 15 minutes, and even then to get their attention I had to get up twice and ask. Our starters arrived, but no drinks which took another 5-10 minutes to come and had to be asked for twice. Because of the terrible service we decided to cancel the main. The service has really put me off coming to this restaurant again, as we felt like we were getting no good service from any staff (there was plenty). Spoke to the manager at the end who did provide a gesture of goodwill, however not sure if I would return again

Adrian was great! Served us with great effort and made the whole experience smooth.

I recently ordered takeaway food for my son's birthday, and I must say the taste and quality were absolutely fantastic. The entire experience, from placing the order to the delivery, was incredibly straightforward, and I would like to extend my thanks to Jamshid who assisted us. The food arrived on time, beautifully presented in proper trays and restaurant-style bowls, which our guests thoroughly enjoyed. It truly added a special touch to the celebration. However, there was a bit of confusion regarding the discount and delivery charges, which resulted in me paying for delivery twice. Despite this minor hiccup, everything else was perfectly fine, and I appreciate the excellent service we received!

The food is very tasty and the staff are accommodating. The restaurant is decorated well and is authentic.

Lovely eatery with great ambiance but sadly the service was lacking (despite their best efforts). Took my husband for iftar dawat after high recommendation from a friend. We were seated, our order was taken then we got asked we were here for the buffet. As we weren’t we got shifted upstairs, no problem but when we got upstairs the menu was handed to us again to place order again. Told them we already had ordered. Whilst up there, 2 different tables got shifted, one downstairs to the buffet because that’s what they wanted. The 2nd table got shifted up and downstairs twice. Extremely poor communication between customer and the staff. As you enter you should be asked if you were there for buffet or order. The food was of high quality, tasted good enough but was lukewarm. Was very disappointed. One dish was cold on one side and slightly hot on the other side. Could tell it was microwaved as it had heat spots. Had to mix it all up to balance it out. I must say for a flag-ship restaurant that came recommended it was extremely disappointing however the food quality was there and the staff were friendly if lacking communication skills.The only lasting impression it left was the soup served at the beginning was delicious and warm enough. I won’t be going there again and would give heads up to anyone who asks for its recommendations.

Great atmosphere, Shahima was great.

Great service from Shahibar, food was excellent shared together to break fats with colleagues

Amazing food and service (Chaheida), the lamb was amazing!

The best restaurant and food I've had in a long time! Certainly the best Middle Eastern restaurant!

I've been here before and the atmosphere was much different to this occasion. I called before hand as I knew they'd be busy with ramadan. They said it would be fine to just walk in, so we did. Upon arrival at least 3 people asked us if we had a reservation to which we explained we were told to just walk in as theirs only two of us. One of the staff did not even acknowledge me and pointed to the corner and said " go and sit there ". Not sure what world people speak to people like that but I did not appreciate her tone at all. She then told another member of staff to find us seating upstairs, he did. The food was OK, I asked one of the staff for sauce twice to which she never brought it over. I would suggest going on a quieter day, and I suggest babatooma teach their staff what customer service is as this could really put people off returning or promoting this place.

We came as a four and enjoyed The Beast which was perfect for us four hungry people. Staff were friendly and the service prompt. Can’t wait to come again!

Brilliant food! Definitely coming back again

A lively seaside restaurant with a fun and energetic atmosphere

It’s the first time I tried Syrian food and it was amazing worth the travel the staff are so attentive and kind specially shahida

A superb evening spent with friends at Bab Tooma. The food was delicious, the service was exemplary and the ambience was relaxed. Couldn’t think of a better way to spend my Friday evening

I ordered through UberEats during Ramadan 2021, the food was amazing back then. I went in Ramadan 2025 in person with a friend. The food was fantastic, Amor was great with his service, suggestions and recommendations and the atmosphere was amazing. 100% rrecommended.I can say the quality has not changed at all, in fact it has improved. Will definitely go again and again!

Everything went well every single moments was a amazing food tasty service brilliant specialy ali

The staff is extremely rude and cancel your booking without any valid reason

Lovely experience, all staff joyful

Everything amazing from the start to the end thank you so much for every workers!! Make our day perfect

Really nice food excellent service from all the staff, definitely coming back and 100% recommend to anyone to come

Excellent service great food every thing is amazing. I love Bab tooma

my favorite place. delicious food thank you Bab tooma

Went for dinner there and the food and service were great. Staff are brilliant. Definitely recommed.

Delicious food highly recommended 👌🏻

I booked the table online at afternoon time but upon arrival I was told that my booking have been cancelled. The staff didn’t even bothered to given the reason. Neither they even bothered to inform me prior my travel. Since the divine force was stopping me to dine at this crap place but I was so unlucky therefore I got the table in the end. This restaurant is a ganache of unhinged, filth and rubbish altogether. I ate rice chicken shish and got sick with food poisoning within 2 hours by vomiting and diarrhea. Plates and spoons had food particles glued everywhere. Even saw, cat sized gigantic rats at the entrance of the restaurant. When, I complained then I was asked to leave so that others customers couldn’t listen to me. You can eat at this dirty place at your own risk. I have now complained to the food safety agency against this dirty place so that they could take serious action against them.

We had iftar today @ Bab Tooma Bradford and the food was delicious with many different varieties, pudding and Arabic as well were divine. Many thanks for Jamshid and Awais, Mohammed and Ali and Ibtisam. They accommodated all our requests and adjustments. we will come back soon.

The food was delicious and full of flavor. The service was attentive and friendly, especially from Ibtissam. Perfect for any occasion—highly recommend!

I’ve visited this place three times and I thoroughly enjoy it. The food is fantastic, and the service is impeccable.

The service was absolutely lovely. We had reserved a table and were seated immediately. The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were friendly. Especially Ibtissam, who took photos for us and got us some watermelon for the table. The food was satisfactory but it could have been better. We came for iftar and they played the adhan on time with dates already on the table for us to open our fast with.

Attended Iftar buffet with family and everything was really wonderful.

We recently visited Bob Tooma Bradford for the Ramadan Buffet. Unfortunately, our experience started off on a frustrating note, as the staff seemed unaware of our online reservation. We had to show them our booking confirmation before they could seat us. The seating arrangement was quite disappointing. We were given a table (Table 9) in the middle of a busy walkway, where people constantly bumped into my chair and arms, making it difficult to enjoy the meal. I strongly suggest that the management reconsider the placement of this table to ensure a more comfortable dining experience for guests. That being said, the food was excellent, offering delicious Middle Eastern flavors. The overall atmosphere is usually great, but this time, it felt a bit congested. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback into account to improve the dining experience for future guests.

We been served by Ibtissam she was so friendly and offered us the best service. Atmosphere was great especially during Ramadan and the food is great definitely recommend it.

Royal iftar buffet thank you so much bab tooma

It was super food we had buffet food was outstanding and service from baker and shahida. we like the everything here.recommended you all

The worst Iftar buffet experience I’ve ever had! The food was awful, the organization was a mess, the service was terrible, and the space was completely unfit for such an event. I will never come back, and I’ll make sure none of my family or friends do either—especially during Ramadan!

Really enjoyed the food here. We had a great service thanks to Shahida. Our food arrived promptly and was lovely. I highly recommend this place and will be coming back

As usual, good time at BabTooma, ordered the lamb chops and it was very good! Not too greasy, seasoned well and was very full afterwards. The service, especially Shahida was very good 😊

This place is really nice and Food is amazing !

Excellent food. Shahida was very friendly.

Shaheeda was very lovely-the aubergine was delicious

Great place and great food- our go to for a nice takeaway

Fantastic restaurant, food is amazing, very tasty and mild, making it pleasurable. The lemon and mint drink is heavenly beautiful, so refreshing and tasty. Tea is also delicious. Very attentive service and not intrusive, allowing you to enjoy your meal. The decor is beautiful. I will be coming back often.

Food was good and so was service implemented by Adrian.
