Bab Tooma Leeds in Leeds

Superb food , great taste loved the complimentary lentil soup as well. Atmosphere was great except it was cold inside.

We tried a lot of different starters and mains, they were all amazing. The food was good and authentic. The restaurant is beautiful. The service was impeccable Update: went for a second meal. 10 of us. Food served lukewarm, on metal hot plates but with no heating. Restaurant was cold, so any remaining heat in the food disappeared in minutes. No sauces with meals. Chips cold. So disappointing after first meal which was 10/10. This was 6/10. We spent over £180.

Very good service from sam and rebecca :D first time trying this cuisine and was so enjoyable!

I recommend babtooma Leeds. Great food, nice atmosphere, and lovely service by Sam and Gabby.

Great service and delicious food enjoyed very much xx

The the food was amazing and the service was friendly especially Juwana and gabby. Thank you Stephanie.

10/10 for the service, staff and the whole environment of this place. Went for my birthday meal and it was amazing to have this delicious food. Service was top and the staff was very friendly.

Wicked food, really recommend the Syrian food, my friends loved their mixed grills too! Lovely staff, music and interior!

Really nice food and customer service, really kind waiters and once again the food is really good 👍

Food was genuinely soo good. Very filling. Lovely portions!

Delicious Meal at Bab Tooma (Roundhay) with wonderful atmosphere. After the delightful mix grill mains we had a sweet slice of traditional baklava with cardamom tea.

Hearty portions of fantastic food - would recommend

The food is delicious, I would rate is one of the best Mediterranean meals that we had. Lentil soup was complimentary .The cold and hot meze were very good, the kids finished them all. Portion of the platters is decent compared to similar outlets. The staff are very attentive and the ambiance is great. There was also a complimentary tea pot to finish the meal. The kunafe was ok but not the best. Will visit again for sure. I think that they do breakfast buffet as well- check their website for promotions

Enjoyed the food and the staff was very polite and friendly, will Recommend and come again!

The food is normal, nothing special, and the service is considered bad, especially for an employee wearing a suit We asked for tea and dessert after the meal. They brought a tray of tea and dessert and the table was not cleaned. They just removed the lunch dishes and not all of them! I asked the employee to clean the table and he did not clean it!

Everything is always very tasty and fresh (also best lemonades in town...with real lemons)

Just found out about this gem. Excellent service, very good ambiance and delicious food. We tried the usual lamb chops, kebab, chicken skewers and the portions and the taste was good. Will be definitely visiting this place often

The food was a 5 ⭐. Plus the customer service specially from Shahab who serves our table. First time visited will always recommend.

Mohammed was super friendly and great service. The food was delicious and all the staff were a delight. Thank you. #freetea

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Would definitely visit again 👍🏻

“An unforgettable experience! The soup was so cold that my lips nearly froze from the chill. The rice was as fresh as it could be—waiting there for me since last month, I’m sure. And the meat was exceptionally memorable; it was so fresh that I felt like I was grilling it in the middle of a hunt! If you’re looking for a truly unique dining experience, this is the place for you!”

Amazing place to go with great service and fantastic food.

Very lovely environment and nice staff

Amazing service and atmosphere. Unbelievably good food every time. Would highly recommend.

The staff bent over backwards for us. The food was delicious and the portions very generous. We always love our local Bab Tooma!

Always lovely food, gorgeous decor and friendly staff! Also the deals they have are great and amazing value

Hard one to review really as although we enjoyed the meal, it was in essence just an expensive mixed grill, not sure what I expected but there was nothing flavour wise to make it stand above a mixed grill say from a pub?, we chose The Beast which was for 4 people (£80) but in reality was just about enough for 3 people and one was a light eater, the complimentary soup and Muhammara probably helped. It’s a beautifully decorated space but was totally empty at Saturday lunch and it was cold inside which is strange as that’s the second Oakwood restaurant this week which didn’t have heating! I’d still recommend but probably wouldn’t rush back.

Food was hot and delicious and served quickly. Stuff were amazing. And the most important thing is the hospitality of the stuff

Great food, wonderful decor, lovely meal out with my daughter

Really good food. Need to get back Khabza Chicken which was my usual.

Tried very hard to make our experience pleasant. Ordered a normal mixed grill to feed 8 on waiter’s recommendation, but was not told the price was x2 that of comparable restaurants. Felt like I was in London without being in London 😆

I cannot implore you enough to just try this place. The food is out of this world, the lamb fillet is the best I have ever had. The salads are bright, fresh and zingy, the cheese rolls, divine. The staff on point, very attentive but not invasive, just go. Track me down if you're disappointed.

The service was perfectly ok but it would have been nice to felt a bit more welcomed. We waited quite a while before the server came to take the order - it might have been nice to have taken a drinks order while we waited.

Lovely food and brilliant service from Adrian, Awais and Shahida. We were well looked after the and enjoyed our evening.

Tasty food , very fresh and the dips in cold mezze were yummy . Stephanie who served us was very good , explained the menu patiently, amazing person ,Stephanie , Anaya and all other staff were very warm and welcoming , Thank you

The food and atmosphere is gorgeous! Lots of good veggie options! Service was amazing from Sam!

The place is awesome, the atmosphere is superb and so was the food! 😋 The food was delicious and the waiter, Sam, was super attentive and made sure we were well looked after. I'll definitely be back again. Thank you! 🤩

10/10 amazing food and service 👌🏽

Fantastic first visit. Very welcoming with excellent and friendly service. Food was very good and very tasty. We’ll be back. Thanks Sam!

Lovely experience! Service and food was amazing! Sam was our waitress and she was very helpful and attentive with us! It is not the first time that we came and for sure it’s not foing to be the lasy time!

Had a lovely meal at Bab Tooma! Good and service great!

Atmosphere and real food are served at this place. Hummus is quite nice, desserts are amazing 😍. Sam was very nice, looking after every detail. Best place.

Excellent food served with exceptional customer service. Sam was so attentive and caring and made our evening so enjoyable, she is an amazing asset for Babtooma.

Our first time coming to Bab Tooma and what an experience it was. Service was excellent and Sam was very attentive ensuring we were kept fed throughout. Food was very tasty and enjoyed the decor of the place. Would reccomend to come and try it out

Excellent service from Sam. The food was exceptional. Very satisfied. The kebabs were amazing and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Will definitely be back. Thank you!

Beautiful food with a friendly service the lamb kababs are amazing. Never had a bad experience here

The price menu was on the higher side but the portions were generous.. the service was excellent, very keen on pleasing the costumer

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bob Tooma, and it was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. Muhammad provided excellent service, attending to every detail with care and professionalism. Shahab, the manager, ensured that everything ran smoothly and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. The food was absolutely incredible — authentic Syrian cuisine that was bursting with flavor. Each dish was prepared with passion and tasted amazing. The combination of delicious food and top-notch service made the entire experience unforgettable. Highly recommended! We will definitely be coming back!

1. Food Quality: The food did not meet my expectations. The main dishes lacked the authentic Eastern flavors, and some were not well-cooked. The desserts were also disappointing, with a bland taste that didn’t reflect the rich flavors of traditional Syrian sweets. Rating: 3/10 2. Coffee: The coffee was far from satisfying. Instead of being rich and strong like Arabic coffee should be, it was watery and tasted more like juice. It lacked the proper texture and flavor and wasn’t served in the right way. Rating: 2/10 3. Prices: The prices were very high compared to the quality of food and drinks. Neither the dishes, desserts, nor the coffee were worth the money paid. Rating: 3/10 4. Service: The service was okay but not exceptional. The staff were friendly, but there wasn’t much attention to detail Rating: 6/10 5. Atmosphere and Decor: The decor was the best part of the experience. The restaurant’s design was inspired by the heritage of Damascus, with beautiful details that created an authentic Eastern vibe. The atmosphere was cozy and rich in Syrian culture. Rating: 9/10 6. Cleanliness: The restaurant was generally clean, both in the dining area and other facilities. Rating: 8/10 Final Rating: While the restaurant offers great decor and a unique Eastern atmosphere, the quality of the food, coffee, and desserts was disappointing, especially with such high prices. Overall Rating: 4/10

Absolutely delicious food, shared the cold mezze to start and then had the Karen Yarek! The staff are really friendly and helpful. Highly highly recommend.

Delicious breakfast buffet, lovely staff and quality service (Sam). The eggs and bread selection was delicious, would also highly recommend the chickpeas and beans. Would be great to add some humus and halloumi to the offering.

Good food, good selection unfortunately wasn't aware it was bring your own drinks. Definitely worth a visit.

My first time eating at bab tooma and I absolutely loved it! I will quite happily be back again very soon. Great service from Sam ! Thankyou again

Food was amazing and service by Sam was too notch. Will defo be coming back

Lovely food, staff and ambiance. Sam and her colleagues were very pleasant.

Amazing time, Sam was so lovely even though I'd spilled some of our drink on the table. I'd enjoyed the food, the portions were incredible, and the complimentary soup and tea are such a lovely touch! Would come here again.

Amazing food and service from Sam, will be back!

Fabulous food! Kunafe dessert was an experience to behold. Magically. Service by Sam and her colleagues was brilliant. l am coming back in a couple of days

I love the food there. Went with a friend for dinner and ended up also taking back home a box of baklava varieties. Coming from a family of excellent amateur and professional sweet makers I can tell the difference between average and excellent. These sweets are something you have to try!

Excellent food - fresh, nicely spiced and seasoned. Great service from our server Sam. A lovely meal all round!

Sam was a great hostess, recommend the cold mezze and the chicken kebab, both excellent

Sam was amazing with us and a good service!

Excellent service from sam and shahab

I brought my family and they really enjoyed the food and Sam provided great service she was so lovely.

Lovely meal, friendly staff would recommend

Food was insane cheese rolls and hummous and Mehndi was amazing service beautiful pray room as well

Recommend to come here multiple times, was brilliant! Food was amazing, great portions and so tasty! Sam was lovely, great service and so friendly!! Will defo be returning! Also great for vegans!

We had a lovely selection of dishes that came really quickly. There was one dish we didn't like that was quickly taken away and assessed and taken off the bill. The service was delightful and we've had a great time.

Food and environment was really nice, Sam’s service was amazing. Would definitely come back.

Absolutely fantastic…and big thanks to Sam outstanding service…. Thank you for making our evening special

Fantastic food and amazing service from Mohammed and Sam. The red pepper and almond dip was amazing

Amazing food and amazing service from Mohammed and Sam. We were recommended starters by Sam which were all delicious as were the mains. Cant wait to come back. Thank you Bab Tooma for a lovely experience 💛😊

Amazing service, amazing food, amazing ambience! Would definitely recommend this place to people :)

Great atmosphere! Food was amazing, feels like you’ve been transported into Syria and very in touch with the culture :) Servers were very kind and were patient enough to give recommendations given it was our first time. Thank you! Definitely will be back soon!

Had excellent service by Sam who recommended some scrumptious dishes during a wonderful Monday night out. I advise anyone in the mood for Syrian cuisine to dine at Bab Tooma!

Great meal and service from Sam, we've been before and will definitely be back again.

Friendly staff that went over and beyond. Food was delivered quickly and

Early evening food. Lovely environment , staff and food. Sam our waitress was excepttional. Lemon and mint mohitos were great!!

Sam was amazing and went above beyond our needs. The food was delicious as per usual. Been coming here for a few years now and it never disappoints.

Nice place with good Arabic music in the background. Tasty food and friendly service from sam

Sam was our waitress and she was very friendly and knowledgeable, giving recommendations and explaining what dishes were. I would recommend looking online at the menu as it gives pictures and an explanation of each dish which helps when deciding what to order. We were given complementary lentil soup, which was just what was needed on a cool autumn day, it was delicious. I had the beetroot salad, which was lovely and fresh, the cheese was creamy salty and so very tasty. As a side l had hot potatoes, which had a kick and some freshly cooked Turkish bread and toast was it all down some Moroccan tea. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is outstanding. Definitely worth a visit

Like always, excellent service from Sam and everyone. Food so lovely and delicious. I will always come back again and again

Very nice lunch, great food and generous portions. Reccomend the cold mezze platter. Sam's service was great too

Superb food, lovely staff, great service. Can recommend the smoothest of smooth hummus, the zesty chicken livers and the softest of flatbreads. Sam and Gabby were really attentive and gave great suggestions on what to order next time. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Great meal out with family. Sam provided excellent service

Fantastic food and service! Will definitely be back again!

We recently dined at Bab Tooma after a recommendation from a friend. Each dish was flavorful, the grill cooked perfectly. Our waiter, Muhammed, provided outstanding hospitality. I highly recommend Bab Tooma for anyone seeking authentic Syrian food in a welcoming atmosphere.

Really lovely service, very attentive and very cosy. Mohammed and staff were so friendly and good eye for details, they provided a good quality of service.

Fantastic good and service will definitely come back again

My first visit and won’t be my last. We were served by Sam, who was very friendly and looked after our table very well. The food was absolutely incredible! I couldn’t pick a favourite dish (we shared several vegetarian starters, the cold platter and some Arabic bread). Can’t wait to visit again!

The atmosphere is great and the service is good. We had to ask for the lentil soup even though it's served usually with the food. The food is however hit and miss. For example the fried sea bass is amazing but lots of the meat dishes aren't so good.

I love the atmosphere and the decor inside, but the food is too expensive, I dine a lot at Middle Eastern places and the food here is not that good for the price, I had a chef special dish, which was cabbage lamb parcels with two lamb chops, the dish was served with all the parcels stacked up together with lamb chops on top, honestly it was just thrown together, and soggy, it was ok but when your paying £20+ for a dish it needs to be better than ok. Also you guys don’t have coke and Diet Coke?, you had the cheap stuff (bar cola) etc. Again, you cannot have such high prices but be cheap on the drinks, it’s really poor thought. The menu is really busy, it’s like a children’s menu I didn’t know where to look, I would take a second Look at this. I really enjoyed the starters with the fresh bread, you have a good place, but little things need to be tweaked

The food is very nice excellent service very fast .thanks shahida ..👍👍

The food is great, Not too heavy but still flavourful! Service and atmosphere in the restaurant is nice too, very relaxed and friendly.

lovely food and really nice atmosphere

First time trying Syrian cusine definetly not the last! Attentive staff, quick service very authentic, beautifully decorated & made to feel very welcome. Great portion sizes& the morrocan tea- Amazing!!

Great service, food and shahida was a fantastic waitress.

Delicious food atmosphere and excellent costumer service. Joanna and Muhammad made sure we enjoyed our meal, always smiling. Will surely come back InshaAllah. Water glasses and table could be a bit cleaner.

Went on a Friday afternoon with my husband. We had a Groupon voucher for a Mediterranean meal for two. Plenty of choices, the food was amazing. We also received 2 complementary items from the restaurant and vouchers with 40% off to come back for the buffet on Sunday morning. The staff was nice but constantly forgot to bring our drinks to the point where we just cancelled the tea. Overall, it was a nice experience and we will be returning.

In search for kunafah lead us to bab tooma, and it was amazing! Top service from Mohammed and Hossam, food was amazing! We had the the beast which was amazing time! And lots of compliments too!
