★★★★ Amazing Food & Service – Worth the Trip from Manchester! This is our third time visiting Bab Tooma, and we travel all the way from Manchester just for their incredible food and service! Every visit has been fantastic—the flavours are authentic, the portions are generous, and the hospitality is top-notch. The staff always make us feel welcome, and the quality of the food is consistently excellent. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience. Keep up the great work, Bab Tooma! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you Shahab and team.

Had a fantastic experience at Bab Tooma Leeds! The customer service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The staff made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavour. Definitely one of the best spots for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Highly recommend and will be returning soon!

4th time visiting here. Amazing food and atmosphere.

Amazing service. Food five star ....

Slow service, some staff friendly, atmosphere was OK, authentically decorated, food average. Nothing special, table water came in a dirty jug and needed to ask for it changing. Toilets were very dirty and needed a good clean. Needless to say, we won’t be returning.

I had a great experience at this restaurant! I tried the shawarma and it was delicious—nicely seasoned, filling, and definitely hit the spot. The management clearly runs a tight ship, and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit even better. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!

it was a lovely experience, the food was amazing, and really good customer service from jwana and rashid. would recommend to everyone to try.

Delicious food and lovely service from Ghalia and Rashid.

Lost for words the food was amazing

Excellent customer service from Wael and good was 10/10. I highly recommend!

The food was amazing and delicious, and I want to thanks my brother Wael, he was very welcoming and helped us decide what to order. definitely recommend

Wael was very welcoming and found us a good table. Food was fantastic! Recommend the tea afterwards

I want to thanks the young gentleman Wael for his welcoming today and helped us having great dinner, and the food was delicious and tasty definitely recommend

My first time on this restaurant and the food was fantastic and very tasty and I want thanks wael for his service. He was very welcoming and helped us a lot

I ordered 3 chicken shawrma meals, they came with only 2 garlic sauce. The shawrma meal should be in the kids' meal section.

The atmosphere was so cozy and authentic—it felt like stepping into a little corner of the Middle East. The music, the decor, even the smell of the spices when you walk in—it all just sets the mood. The service was excellent too. Our server was super friendly, answered all our questions, and made some great recommendations. You can tell the staff really cares about the food and the experience. I’ll definitely be coming back, and next time I’m bringing more friends. If you’re looking for authentic, delicious Middle Eastern food in a welcoming setting, Bab Tooma is a must-try

Beautiful place, delicious food, yummy dessert and excellent service especially Hassan! Thankyou

Had a lovely experience at Bab Tooma! The food was delicious and full of flavor, and the service was just as impressive. Wael was a wonderful host—friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Highly recommended if you’re looking for great food and warm hospitality!

The food was amazing and the service was amazing especially wael helpedus alot and he was very welcoming and helped us with everything, definitely recommended

I really enjoyed having my meal from Babtoom, the service is soo amazing as well as the food. Wael have served us and he was so nice and very welcoming, we will definitely come back again...

Best restaurant we have ever found in Leeds after living here for 11 years. They bless all customers with a bowl of lentil soup on arrival and it tastes like heaven. Having just returned from Dubai, I am delighted to find this venue as it reminds me of my travels. Dubai is full of Syrian restaurants and I think this is one of the most wonderful cuisines in the world.

Fabulous food and and friendly staff, nice atmosphere, super cozy and feels like home🙏🏻

We had a reservation for the Buffet they had on during Ramadhan, despite some misunderstanding and error with their website, the Manager still made sure that they give us a table even though they were all booked in. Food was warm and fresh and plenty for everyone with continuous refills.

Absolutely horrible buffet experience we were waiting for food to be refilled for ages bad customer service never again please don’t waste your money here

There were 8 of us, and the dishes we tried included Feast for 2, Shawarma Meal, and Sujuk Shawarma. The food was generally not too bad, but it could have been served hotter, and the taste of the chicken wasn’t very flavorful. I had ordered a cola but it didn’t come in its original can or glass bottle; instead, it was served in a glass with ice and the carbonation had mostly faded. To be honest, I didn’t really enjoy the meal and I don’t think I’ll go back. On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and cheerful. We had a nice chat, and their service was good. The place was quite authentic and spacious. Overall, it was an experience that I don’t think I’ll repeat.

We’ve had a wonderful family Iftar meal this evening. Food was delicious and the service was attentive and very pleasant

Staff was so hospitable and went out of their way to provide amazing customer service . Food was delicious and fresh , really unique atmosphere as well with Iftar celebrations/ . Can’t wait to go again in the future

I visited this restaurant on the 26th of March for their buffet and unfortunately had a terrible experience. While the variety of dishes initially seemed promising, the quality and safety of the food were severely lacking. Shortly after the meal, several of us experienced symptoms of food poisoning, which is completely unacceptable. It’s incredibly disappointing to have to deal with health issues after what should have been an enjoyable meal. Food hygiene should be a top priority for any establishment, especially one serving a buffet. This incident has left us very concerned about their food safety practices. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and thoroughly investigates the issue to prevent this from happening to others. Until there’s assurance that proper food safety standards are being upheld, I cannot recommend this place.

New review . Never had a bad meal here until now . Booked for 5 people 1 month in advance . On entry was asked how long we would be as they needed the table , there was not one customer in the place . Ordered food and drinks . One of the drinks came in a broken leaking glass but all the staff were sat playing on their phones so had to take it to them . Food came but none of us enjoyed it we sent some back it was not what I expected at all . Will not be going here again

Bab Touma’s iftar buffet left much to be desired. Upon arrival, we were met with an unwelcoming staff that set a disappointing tone for the evening. For an iftar experience, the absence of soup was particularly notable—it’s a crucial element for breaking the fast. The overall selection was extremely limited: the main course was reduced to just two options, and everything served was cold. The desserts, which could have redeemed the meal, were equally underwhelming. Overall, the experience felt like a rip-off, missing several key elements that would have made for a more satisfying and authentic iftar. If i was able to rate it 0 i would. I wouldn't recommend this place at all.

The Iftar buffet had an incredible Ramadan ambiance, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of flavorful dishes to enjoy. Yamen’s service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and truly added to the overall experience. A perfect place for Iftar!

food was so nice, service was great!!! ghalia was super sweet!!

Lovely meal, delicious. Thank you for your great service Rashid. We will definitely be eating here again soon.

Absolutely gutted, booked for me and my husband Iftar and they rang me 3 hours before my booking to say they need to cancel as they are overbooked. I have explained today was the only day we are able to go out for Iftar and it’s hard enough to find another day, I requested if they can check to re-arrange another customers booking. They were not helpful at all. I made this booking 2 and half weeks ago. This is just so poor and unprofessional for them to cancel last minute, everywhere else are fully booked. You’ve really ruined our only Iftar date night.

Absolutely brilliant. The food was lovely. We got a sharing platter for 2, think it was called 'the feast' and everything was beautiful. To accompany it we got a feta salad too. So nice. Really reasonable prices too. Highly recommend this place. We will definitely go back. (Now been back multiple times. Never ever disappoints) Make sure you book though because it gets busy!

Just sharing as the staff showed me such generosity and kindness today. Went in having not broken my fast and was later given 3 starters on the house. It meant so much after a long day at work and just wanted to share a huge thank you again!

Delicious food and friendly staff made for a great dining experience! Would love to see more vegan and vegetarian options on the menu.

Had such an amazing time! Staff really catered to our group and the food was sensational!! The atmosphere is lovely, would 100% go again!

I had Karen Yarek and it was delicious. The aubergine was well cooked and the minced meat was well flavoured. They served garlic sauce for chips and it was very garlicky and delicious.

Great food, relaxed and great customer service

Great food first time eating at this restaurant. Would highly recommend it. Wael and Ghalia were very informative. Definitely a come back. Can Definitely recommend the chicken liver starter.

The food was amazing and the staff's are very friendly and accommodating kudos to wael👌

Wael Housm was very helpful and all staff friendly , food was so fresh and delicious

Wael was amazing, great service

Had a reservation here for weeks, was going use a voucher we got for Christmas. The booking was on valentines weekend. The day of our booking, someone from the restaurant called us to say they were will no longer accept the voucher and haven’t for the past 3 days. Why didn’t they tell us this 3 days before? Also, the day before this they did a buy one get one free offer for Valentine’s Day, so I’m assuming they needed to make the money they lost from that back. The man was extremely rude. Would never dine here after this. The person who gifted us the voucher is now out of pocket and very upset about it. Have received no apology.

I had the Karn Yarek because I LOVE Aubergine and it hit every spot! Stunning! I’d love to come and dine in sometime!

Brilliant! Manager sorted out our issues with Groupon vouchers. Food was excellent and Tasty.

I have been to this restaurant a few times and the food is awesome and best of all it just tastes fresh. What separates this visit was the service I received. The hospitality I received from a brother called 'Wa-el' was phenomenal. He went above and beyond more than a normal person. I wish him all the best! I will be back again!!

Lovely setting, lovely food but freezing cold restaurant. The toilet were cosy warm! Wear a jumper and do not sit near the window as there is a draft!

Had a reservation booked for an anniversary for weeks via a groupon discount I was given for Christmas, got a call today on the day of the booking to let us know they decided not to accept them 3 days ago because they’ve lost too much money and regret letting people use them, guy on the phone that rang me was very rude and apparently isn’t his or their problem, told me to ring groupon to get a refund from them instead. Won’t bother trying now.

I had a great time with my mate , we had the shawarma and kabab The service was very friendly , Hosam was exceptional with good service and left us dying in fits of laughter. And we got tea on the house as well Will be back ! Highly recommend

Simply amazing food. Service was fantastic. We had the chops and they were to die for thank you so much. We will be back and recommending

Very nice food and friendly staff would definitely come again!

Amazing experience Yamen was great

We’d never had a bad experience here - until today! We decided to get take out using the Bab Tooma website (which offers 20% off) but clearly the order hadn’t been processed because when I went pick it up I had to wait 20 minutes. “At least it’ll be fresh!” My wife said. But the chips were cold and the kibbeh barely warm. So, a bit disappointing - up your game Bab Tooma!

Excellent food and great customer service from Ghalia !

Beautiful, flavoursome food (recommend the lamb chops) and great service, Rashid and the team were fantastic. We will definitely be back!

We love it here! Amazing food and great atmosphere. Also brilliant service! Thanks Rasheed and the rest of the team

I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back again!

Great food and wonderful service from Tarek !

Had an incredible dining experience at Bob Tooma on Roundhay Road, Leeds! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and looked after by Tareq, who provided excellent service throughout the meal. The food was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed chicken fillet, chicken livers, mixed Kebab and finished off with an amazing koonafa—each dish was full of authentic Syrian flavours and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a great meal. Highly recommend Bob Tooma to anyone looking for top-quality Syrian cuisine in Leeds. We’ll definitely be back!

Let me just tell you, Bob or Bab Tooma is absolutely unbelievable Jeff. Especially shout to my guy Hassan! Unreal customer service. Will be back.

Lovely food and friendly service - we had a starter and main and it was more than enough food.

My family visited Bab Tooma after a while. The place is much better than before . The food is of reasonable portion and affordable price. I loved the chicken manifest platter. We did not like the rice side, but the restaurant offered a replacement and apologised too, which I think is very important and well mannered. We will definitely visit again.

Husam was very helpful ! Lovely tea!

Great food as always & great service from Hassam!

Amazing service! Food was beautiful and warm. Shoutout to Hasan for the amazing tea!!

I had the pleasure of celebrating a birthday dinner and it was an unforgettable experience. Yamen, was excellent throughout the evening—attentive, friendly, and full of great recommendations that truly enhanced our meal. We started with the Kibbeh. It was hearty but not too heavy, and every bite was a delight. Next, we had muhammara, which was a standout dish, a dip that hit all the right notes, and when paired with the soft, light bread, it was the ideal combination. Shish taouk was juicy, flavorful, and absolutely satisfying. To wrap up the meal, Yamen recommended the kunafa for dessert, and it was the perfect choice. It was a sweet, indulgent treat. Every bite was pure bliss. Overall, the meal was fantastic, and the service from Yamen made it even better. And not to forget the complimentary lentil soup, tea, yummy baklava and the birthday song from all the staff made it really special. A must visit again.

Had a great experience here. The sujuk shawarma was amazing and the staff was really amazing. Hosam and Amina made sure we had the best time and gave great recommendations. Will definitely recommend to friends

Our first visit to Bab Tooma in Leeds. I have to say the food was superb and so delicious. Service was excellent,,,different first class. We were looked after by Yamen, Jwana & Ghalia who were welcoming and so lovely. We definitely visit here again.

What fabulous food and environment. Atmosphere is wonderful, very cosy and friendly. We were lucky to be served by hassan and Amirah, very lovely and friendly staff, a credit to the restaurant. We will definitely return to the Leeds branch soon

Came here for my birthday with the family and it was perfect! A special Thank You to Husam and Aminah for amazing customer service, you made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to help. The food was fantastic, very flavoursome and huge portions. There was something on the menu for everyone, kids and vegetarian husband very happy..the lamb shank was super tender! I would recommend for good vibes and food.

I recently hosted a family dinner at here, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! Every single guest was delighted with the delicious food, excellent service, and warm atmosphere. The prices were affordable, and we were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary soups, sauces, hot starters, and tea which made the evening even more special. A huge thank you to Rashid for his outstanding assistance in organising the evening and ensuring that the seating plan was handled smoothly. His professionalism and attention to detail truly enhanced our experience. I highly recommend Bab Tooma to anyone looking for authentic food, great hospitality, and a memorable dining experience.

We really enjoyed our experience. The food is delicious and fresh. Highly recommend! We also had really lovely service from our server Rashid. Thank you

The food and the service was amazing! Husam was a brilliant and hospitable host! 5 out of 5.

Really tasty food in huge portions and lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend! Only complaint is that the service could have been a little bit quicker.

It was a great dining expirience

Good value of food with group on voucher.Good ambiance, friendly staff. On top of our group on offer of 2 course meal for 4 + drinks included, we ordered 1 mango juice extra. The staff waive the mango juice when we asked for our bill. It was a great meal out and we will go back again.

Absolutely beautiful food! And 5* service. Very helpful and friendly staff

Food and service was great. Our server was rasheed

The food was lovely as was the service from all staff there and the lighting /decor was cozy so would definitely recommend to others. My only negative comment, which is why I knocked a star off, is that all both the starters and he main were brought out together, whilst we were still having the soup. Not only did this clutter the table but meant the main went cold by the time we finished our starters. This was a shame but everything else was lovely.

Great food, excellent service from the team (Jwana), fantastic atmosphere.

Feedback: We had a wonderful experience at Bab toma,Leeds! The service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly cheerful and friendly, making us feel right at home. The variety of vegetable-based dishes was fantastic, and everything we tried was delicious. We were also pleasantly surprised to be served Arabic teasuch a nice touch! Although fatayer wasn't on the menu, the staff kindly agreed to prepare a special batch for us, which we greatly appreciated. We couldn't be happier with the entire experience and will definitely be back again soon. Thank you for making our visit so memorable!

First time here and we had a lovely meal. Staff seemed a little disorganised. Our table was missing cutlery and drinks got mixed up with another table along with the starters. Food was lovely though and served hot and fresh. Our waitress Joanna was very helpful and guided us through the menu. She was very pleasant and smiley ☺️. We will definitely return!

Always great food and great price

Lovely place . Big thank you to Yamen;)

GORGEOUS food, highly recommend mixed grilled platter. Everything was cooked to perfection, chicken taouk perfectly complemented the rice

Excellent food, great service, staff pleasant and very friendly. Would highly recommend

Food was amazing with lots of flavours, service was very friendly and the food arrived quickly. Staff sang happy birthday too which was great! Although, attending in winter we asked for the heater to be turned on as it was cold inside, the food was also cold before we could finish. Overall I would definitely recommend going.

Sorry for the poor review. The food was outstanding and I would go again but sadly the level of service was poor. I was charged double for a group meal and despite having proof that this had happened, the issue still wasn't resolved. I'm afraid, I will not be visiting again, based on this, which is a massive shame as I had a great meal, which was cooked to perfection.

Rashid served us this evening. Amazing Service and Food!

Friendly staff and the starters came out very quickly after ordering. Unfortunately there were a few issues with the mains. Half of our table didn't get ours until the other half had almost finished eating theirs due to delays, one dish came out stone cold and the rest came out barely warm. One person couldn't eat theirs because the chicken didn't look properly cooked.

My pals and I ordered The Beast which was perfect for 4. Service from Rashid was great.

Review of Bab Tooma, Leeds I recently visited Bab Tooma in Leeds with my partner, and we were thoroughly impressed! I had the lamb chops, and my partner opted for the lamb skewers – both dishes were absolutely amazing. The meat was tender, full of flavour, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a delight. We also had a complimentary Dental soup which was amazing! The venue itself added so much to the experience. It had such an authentic atmosphere that it felt like we’d been transported on holiday. The decor, music, and overall ambiance made it a truly memorable dining experience. If you're looking for delicious food paired with a unique and immersive setting, I highly recommend Bab Tooma. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely food! Rasheed was very nice as well.

The quantity and quality is a joke here! I visited after seeing the reviews but looks like it all a drama!
