Banyan Leeds in Leeds

Absolutely terrible Service, staff attitude, 45 min wait of which we were never told of, waitress who constantly talked over us and was highly sarcastic, save your money unless you want insulting.

A lovely place with very polite staff

Ordered food and drinks from the table via the app. Did arrived within 10 mins but we waited over 35mins for 4 drinks and had to go and fetch them myself!

Top marks for Banyan - cheers Alex

Fantástica experiencia hecha aún mejor por la increíble Kim que era nuestro servidor - su servicio al cliente está fuera de la escala increíble! Teníamos una mesa reservada para 8 personas a las 4. 45 , el local estaba absolutamente lleno de un ambiente realmente bullicioso -estuvimos sentados arriba y enseguida nos trajeron 2 botellas de Prosecco a la mesa y nos dijeron una vez que estuvieran vacías que las pusiéramos boca abajo y nos traerían más- también nos preguntaron qué bebidas queríamos encima del fizz del menú. La comida que habíamos pedido por adelantado nos salió aproximadamente 20 minutos en el brunch, no esperaba mucho como de anteriores brunch sin fondo en otros lugares, siempre es comida mediocre - esto, sin embargo, fue todo lo contrario! Todos estábamos tan impresionados, que era una comida principal completa - pedí el pollo bang bang y la porción era tan grande que no podía comerlo todo. ¡Fue absolutamente delicioso! Las bebidas fluyeron constantemente y fuimos muy atendidos por nuestra servidora Kim - ¡Qué mujer increíble! Ella realmente hizo nuestra tarde, tan amable y divertido - Banyan esta señora es un activo absoluto para su equipo, ella es trabajador y su servicio al cliente nos dejó boquiabiertos. Gracias Kim y gracias Banyan, no podemos esperar a volver! No puedo recomendar lo suficiente!

Great vibe and service but music could be a little louder x

Kim was the kindest, bubbliest person there. She made our hen do experience even better. Thank you Kim ❤️

Gracie was amazing brought drinks quickly throughout the bottomless

Molly was amazing, she’s the best member of staff. You should Make Molly your general manager, you know what, you should make Molly the CEO of the business because nothing compares to Molly

The bottomless brunch was absolutely fantastic, made even better by our incredible server, Gracie. From the moment we sat down, she brought an energy that was warm, attentive, and effortlessly fun. The mimosas flowed without pause, and Gracie made sure our glasses were never empty and our plates always full. Her timing was flawless, her recommendations spot-on, and her cheerful personality added the perfect vibe to the whole experience. It wasn’t just a meal—it felt like a celebration, thanks in no small part to Gracie’s outstanding service.

Gracie was an amazing waitress, really friendly and attentive. I’ll be making a return

Isabella was such a lovely server, really quick and such a welcoming person , love the experience!

We had an amazing time at bottomless brunch, Peg was a great server ☺️

5 Stars – Amazing Service at Bottomless Brunch! Our waitress was absolutely fantastic during our bottomless brunch! She kept the drinks flowing, was super friendly and attentive, and handled our (slightly loud) group with total grace. Even with a packed restaurant, she never let our glasses go empty and made sure we had everything we needed. She really made the whole experience feel easy and fun. Highly recommend and would definitely come back just for her service! Thank you Kim!!

Amazing Food, even better service! There £15 2 course menu was perfect for an after work bite with a few drinks, Never been to Leeds before and this place made the 2 hour trip from Birmingham worthwhile, went home and told everyone to come! I will be returning :-)

Many thanks to Keiran and his colleagues for putting up with us again, Splendid as always!

Ok I get it . We arrived on a scorching hot day after a 4.5 hour drive and we had not pre booked ( miscommunication from our friends ) . Anyway they were still letting people in ( in Glasgow if it’s full it’s full ) . The greeter who was pleasant enough told us to order from the table or we could go to the bar which was very busy ! So we ordered via qr code . 20 minutes went by . We are thinking right that’s long enough . Asked a server said it was on its way . Meanwhile our friends had walked in stood at bar and got served . By now 30 minutes had passed . Getting a bit annoyed at this point . It was only 4 drinks. Again said to the server who said as you can see the bar is stoked !! Honestly yes we see but would still like the drink we had paid for . 36 minutes later we got our drink . Our friends had then managed to get a table outside and we did enjoy our one drink . Could easily have had 3 by now . Being in the hospitality trade for years it’s all about communication. So if it’s taking 35 minutes to get a drink it should say that on the app ( take a leaf out of weatherspoons) where the rest of our party had went . Said it was equally as busy but were served in 5 mins . Disappointed

Good vibe and the food was really yummy! Also can’t fault the service either 😌

We were sitting outside in the Sun but half the parasols were not working. Service for food is slow.

Was OK. Had a few cocktails 12 quid for 2.....half glass of ice tbh.....wasn't impressed at ash trays on tables and folk smoking all around me.

Great food and drinks and very friendly staff

Visité aquí el mes pasado al regresar a Leeds para ponerse al día con los amigos. La comida era deliciosa, siempre tan ligero, crujiente y sabroso. Aunque es básico no se puede servir comida caliente de la mejor calidad. Bebidas un poco caras, pero es una noche de fiesta.

What an incredible evening! Kim was just amazing, taking such great care of our party and making sure everything was perfect. The food and drinks were top-notch, and I loved the warm welcome and goodbye we received—it really added to the experience. The atmosphere was lively, and I can't fault anything about the service. I'll definitely be coming back for more celebrations!

We did bottomless brunch, Meg was our waitress and she was amazing. I never had an empty glass. She was so funny and amazing, I would come back again for her if I was local xx

We only called in for drinks, which were fine, but the bar service was very slow and very expensive. The place was busy and very noisy, maybe I'm getting old. Not for me

Meg was unreal!! Couldn’t have asked for a better venue or better service, will be back. Thank you all <3

Amazing place. We came from different city, and this place is just the best. We did bottomless brunch and the drinks were flowing the whole time, and the food was absolutely banging. Meg, our server, was just so lovely

We had a wonderful time, stayed all afternoon even after our brunch! Thank you!

I attended with my blind son and his guide dog. There was no room inside so we sat outside and it was a bit cold. We decided we would just stay for one drink. We couldn't get the app to work, it went round in circles. I decided to just go to the bar. When I got in the bar was rammed and I didn't want to leave my son outside in the cold for a long time, so I approached the staff member I mentioned (I hope this was the right female) who offered to help, but witnessed the issue using the barcode. She then offered to take my order manually and avoid the bar crowd. Service was excellent. Then my son needed the toilet, so we covered our drinks and asked the doorman to look after them. The same member of staff offered us the lift down to the toilets to make it easier with us both and the dog. Outstanding service, tell her thank you. I since found out that the app worked 100% once I was connected to the venue's Wi-Fi, you might want to tell your customers and your IT dept this.

Xander amazing, couldn’t ask for anything more! Let him know if he ever wants a bottomless brunch on me come to canal club! Definitely needs a raise or a bounce he was great and made sure the table had the best time!!

Qué decepción. Era un hermoso día soleado y era el lugar perfecto para sentarse, pero tan decepcionado por el servicio realmente pobre. No parecía haber frente a la casa ni nadie a cargo. Pides en la mesa a través de un código QR pero no parece ese tipo de lugar. Tuvimos que pedir a 3 miembros del personal que limpiara la mesa que tenía ketchup y trozos de comida seca en ella. La joven trajo blu roll y spray, pero untó el ketchup más allá de la mesa, lo puso en sus dedos y se rindió. Nunca volvió a pesar de saber que lo había empeorado. Preguntó a un segundo camarero y luego a un tercero. Llegaron la mitad de nuestros tragos y patatas fritas. Nos habíamos comido las patatas fritas mientras se estaban enfriando, pero el resto de las bebidas no habían llegado. Entré a pedir nuestras bebidas pero nadie me pidió. Finalmente llegaron. Es un encantador lugar elegante con clase, pero masivamente decepcionado por el personal que no tenía cuidado de hacer que fuera la buena experiencia que debería haber sido. Mesas desordenadas y camareros caminando de vuelta con bandejas vacías caminando junto a mesas con un montón de vasos en ellas. Una ubicación impresionante, pero no igualado por la calidad del servicio y el cuidado de su hermoso bar.

Thanks Kim for an amazing evening!

What a great place , was very welcoming quick service xx

The fish was soggy and chips v brown n hard in the middle. Mentioned this but no comments

No disfruté de esta experiencia en absoluto, era ruidoso y ruidoso, estábamos en el piso superior, los baños estaban 2 pisos abajo. No tenían la opción de ginebra de zarza - cómo se puede agotar o una opción de menú estándar está más allá de mí. El servicio de bebidas fue lento para ponerse en marcha, pero bien al final. Querían £ 4 extra para el filete de hierro plano de 6 onzas, pero solo viene con hongos, así que era otro £ 4 . ¡95 por patatas! Así que en total y extra £ 8. 95 para tener una porción decente! Nos fuimos antes de que se acabara nuestro tiempo, ya que la alborozo era demasiado

Absolutamente increíble comida. . Vegetal lo mejor que he probado. Pastel de carne y carne. El precio no era muy caro. Personal y servicio brillante. 👍 sin duda recomiendo

It's just a great place! Full of lots of people who like to dress up and have a great night. Not a place for trackies and vest!

A lovely place to dine with friends and very reasonably priced.

Nice food and cocktails. Good service. Had the bottomless brunch.

Fue más allá de nuestras expectativas. Erin era tan increíble con el servicio al cliente, siempre con una sonrisa y cuidando de nosotros cada vez. La comida era muy sabrosa. Recomendaré Banyan a todo el mundo.

Great night- loved the bang bang chicken. Erin was such a lovely waitress, extra efficient last Sunday. Superb overall

Bottomless brunch. Table was ready when we arrived. The waitresses came straight over to pour fizz and take our cocktail order. Our food was served promptly and delicious, I would recommend the bang bang chicken. Lovely atmosphere, music at the right level to hear a conversation. I would recommend as value for money and the staff were great.

Had a quick drink on a Thursday night about 4pm here. A large section of the seating was apparently totally booked out that evening which made a good portion of the seating area off limits to regular walk in customers. The drinks were pricey and didn't bother with food considering the cost and the hassle of getting the right table to eat at. Better spots to drink and eat at in my opinion.

Just had a fabulous food experience here. We were looked after very well by Amli. The seasoning was just perfect. The Korean burger and the bang bang chicken fried rice was just amazing. We had potato croquettes for starters and they were outstanding too. Will definitely be going again and maybe ordering the exact same things.

Nice spacious pub with good menu choices.

Very disappointing, booked with work for a belated Xmas do. Messed up our booking, everyone had to have same drinks for each round (?), no thought for anyone nor drinking alcohol - one pregnant and one driving, drinks weren't good - watered down with ice and soda water. Food ok. To top it off the waitress dropped a tray of drinks down myself and a colleague so spent the rest of my night in soaking wet through clothes. So loud and busy. Wouldn't go again!

Food was delicious but the heating was broken so we were very cold. They did try to sit us near the one working heater but I couldn't take my coat off 🥶

Just had a top-notch experience here! The food was absolutely amazing and well worth every penny. The staff were super friendly and really made us feel welcome right from the start. Everything from the atmosphere to the cleanliness was spot on, and I can't wait to come back for more. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal!

It was 11pm and I was heading home with my dog from a previous gathering. It was chucking it down, and my dog Humphrey decided banyan was the place to be. He wouldn't budge and yanked me to the entrance...honestly!! 😂. I never thought they'd even let us in, but they made an allowance, we felt super welcome, not daft, and even stayed till 1am after other kind customers gave me glasses of prosecco and gave the dog balloons to kill (his altime fave sport). It's 1.40am now, I'm home, and feel very thankful for the staff at banyan. Happy new year all xx

Sat down at 1130, was told breakfast stops at 12, no problem as we wanted lunch. When they came to take our order at 1145, we were told that no lunch orders could be taken until 12. Why not? And why not tell us that when we entered! We had a 3 year old with us who was very hungry so having to wait 45 minutes for food was far from ideal. When our order was taken at 12, only THEN did they say no children's pasta was available which is what my 3 year old wanted. You literally could've told us that at any point in the previous half an hour. Not only that, but the table was wobbly and there were so many others available, it's freezing in there, uncomfortably so and they have the cheek to add a 10% service charge. Food was average.

Fui a Banyan a cenar como parte de un grupo grande y disfruté de la comida fuera de menú reducido disponible para nosotros. El restaurante lo hizo bien atendiendo a un gran grupo con la comida saliendo aproximadamente al mismo tiempo. Sería bueno visitar en otro momento y elegir en el menú principal con más opciones disponibles y disfrutar de uno de los cócteles que se ofrecen. El lugar tiene un ambiente animado.

Bar super ocupado, vinimos aquí para tomar unas copas mientras compramos en los mercados de Navidad. Mucha selección de cervezas y ginebras. Personal amable y buen servicio. Lamentablemente nos dimos cuenta de las botellas de gas de calor comprimido para los calentadores de llama afuera en realidad DENTRO de la propiedad, cerca de donde estábamos parados, que no solo es ilegal, sino super peligroso, lo que nos hizo salir antes de lo que habríamos hecho! Lo reportamos a la dirección al salir, pero un poco decepcionante 😞

Not let me back in after vaping to have my main course

Harry C was amazing with o ur Christmas party

Great meal friendly and professional service id go again

Just had a quick drink late at night, midweek, Enjoyed them in the temporary outdoor Christmas themed tent which has several heaters and was nice.

Ellie is the best she’s so good at customer service very professional made our evening the best thank you so much Ellie 🤍

I was there on a busy Saturday lunchtime with my daughters, even though it was very busy the service was good the waitress and trainee were very helpful. Didn’t feel rushed. Good food great cocktails and excellent service. Will go again 💕

Only stayed for drinks but the staff were very polite and welcoming and there was a good atmosphere. Not too crowded either but I think that was because it was early evening.

Fabuloso almuerzo tardío y probé un cóctel de Navidad que junto con la comida era delicioso. Encantador ambiente y toda la experiencia se hizo aún mejor por el Harry cálido, amable, amable y profesional que nos sirvió. Nos aconsejó, escuchó nuestras peticiones y nos hizo sentir tan bienvenidos.

Lovely old building in Leeds really enjoyed the Mango Margaretta

Went to bottomless brunch here today it was incredible. Our server abi was so helpful and lovely. 10/10 would recommend

We had an amazing time there yesterday. We booked on as a party of 5 for a bottomless brunch and we unexpectedly had an extra 2 people with us. The young gentleman on the door (I want to say his name is Alex? But I could be wrong) sorted us out straight away and was able to accommodate for us. Our servers upstairs were also brilliant, no order or query was too much for them to do. They were quick and efficient - all food and drinks were beautiful. We managed to get the name of one of our servers, her name was Carol and there was another young lady who wore a greenish waistcoat, both such lovely ladies. Will 100% be booking to go again to do the bottomless drink, lovely place and really good atmosphere.

cannot comment on food yet but atmoshere

Fab place! They made an extra effort to make my friends’ birthdays special. Lovely drinks and great atmosphere.

Great place for a group meal or drinks, easy to find in Leeds city centre, food was fab

2 for one cocktails but barman didn't tell us so paid for one and only got one This is tightness and poor service. Get a grip banyan grow up and treat your customers properly

Nice bar but was packed, serving staff continuously moving us to get around not very relaxing.

Gracie was great, had a lovely bottomless !

Two for one cocktails .....very good value, no skimping on measures in a pretty cool bar.... what's to grumble about?

El personal no parecía saber lo que estaban haciendo, uno de los camareros tomó nuestro pedido para la fiesta (5 de nosotros) solo 3 de las bebidas vinieron. Así que yo (siendo el anfitrión del grupo reunirse) y mi marido esperamos otros 28 minutos para que alguien volviera y nos revisara para que dijéramos que no hemos tenido nuestro pedido de comida y ni siquiera hemos tomado nuestra primera bebida, obviamente esto fue 28 minutos de las 2 horas que tienes para brunch. Preguntamos a algunos de los otros camareros y su respuesta fue... “No soy tu camarero pero miraré” a lo que obviamente no miraron. Quedamos horrorizados por el servicio que tiene este lugar, para colmo mi esposo usó el baño y comenzó a caminar de regreso por las escaleras con insultos homofóbicos lanzados contra nosotros por un pequeño grupo de muchachos, uno de los cuales creo que es personal y una vez le dije a otro miembro del personal que no estaban interesados. Justo decir que nunca vamos a poner un pie en esta puerta de los establecimientos. Y después de todo esto, y el personal sabiendo lo que había pasado, agregaron gratitud a nuestro pedido (obviamente lo quitamos). No recomendaría a nadie gastar su dinero en un lugar así. ¡Qué desperdicio de dinero y tiempo! Vaya a S&L para un brunch que recomendaría 100%.

From the booking team to the our waiter Harry C the experience was great. We had lots of messing about in our party and they were great in accommodating us. The food and service were great, Harry was super helpful and enhanced our experience. Really enjoyed. Thank you

Lovely food lovely drink lovely staff. Highly recommended.

Quieter than the bar next door, but otherwise very similar. Typical Gen X bar with outdoor seating.

Did not eat there, service and atmosphere fabulous

A lovely stop to sit outside and have a coffee with friends. Staff very welcoming and friendly.

As it was lunchtime it was a bit quiet but we sat inside and there were quite a lot of people sat outside. Food was excellent and service was very good

Terrible comida. El menú ha bajado colina abajo. La envoltura de fajita de pollo era asquerosa. Pollo no comestible graso. Qué pena. No me extraña que el lugar estuviera vacío.

Nice place to sit with a cocktail in the sun. Cocktails were on a 2-4-1 offer too which is a great perk. The atmosphere outside was lovely. The inside looked good too but I only went in to order drinks.

Came here for a friend's birthday, on a bottomless brunch deal. I wasn't drinking so I asked what non alcoholic versions were available, without making it clear to me that the three cans of 0% Guinness weren't included in the price. I the end we ended up paying around £50 for a burger, fries and three cans. Separately, that would have cost around £35. That takes the biscuit. Nice food. I love the Korean chicken burger and I'd recommend a lunch visit but don't bother going here for bottomless brunch, alcoholic or non, they can't cope with the volume of seats and service is slow.

Fuimos el sábado y volvimos de nuevo el domingo porque estábamos muy impresionados. El personal era muy amable y servicial. El lugar es precioso, nos sentamos fuera en ambas ocasiones era un ambiente tan frío. Pedido en la aplicación y la comida y bebidas llegaron muy rápido, a pesar de que el sábado estaba ocupado. Los artículos de desayuno eran preciosos, huevos escalfados con jamón y hachís de desayuno. Definitivamente volveré.

Beautiful restaurant and fab atmosphere!

Decent food and a good beer selection, slightly pricey but it is the centre of town, they do an Arc discount card which is worth getting.

Acabo de venir por una copa de vino pero pedí un pollo tailandés al curry. El mejor curry tailandés que recuerdo. El pollo era muy tierno en el medio, pero tenía un poco de corteza - excelente cocción. El curry fue servido con una perfecta porción de pak choi con el bocado justo. La salsa estaba picante sin ningún ápice de paladar y el arroz perfectamente cocido. Me alegré de haber esperado unos 20 minutos para este plato porque sé que fue cocinado por encargo. Es parte de un nuevo menú. Marcas completas

Came here to try the new menu this week and wow i wasn't disappointed! The mussels and steak were far superior from what I've tried at similar/more expensive venues. The service from Vicki and Andrew was incredibly and i will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a amazing night!

It's not bad but when you're drink normal beer and are stood at the bar for ages because making other people's cocktails is so time consuming

What a great place to spend a sunny afternoon drinking chilled cocktails. Service was good, atmosphere good. X

All ways enjoy a cheeky cocktail here and food is good. Really good atmosphere and all staff seemed friendly and helpful 🍸🍸🍸🍹

Great cocktails and lovely outdoor seating for drinks !

We booked here via Vicki for The Branch Room for lunch and then a team meeting. Lead up was super simple, Vicki is very responsive and helpful. Food on the day was great, truthfully the vegan option wasn't as great, but everything was very tasty. The room was plenty big for 20 of us, enough space and a large enough screen to be seen from the back. Sound was a bit of a hiccup but staff were very helpful to try and fix. Highly recommend, right outside the station, easy to get to, lovely space outside too if you want to have a drink, plenty of staff.

Visited your lovely restaurant this afternoon.. twice!!! Pre and post lunch in city, lovely cocktail, lovely sunshine sat outside. Sadly had- a minor seating problem,swiftly sorted by lovely waitress and the lovely Alex, from Stockton efficiently and humourously he sorted the situation…. Decided to pop back for pre train fizz only to find the same problem, hilarious but a bit annoying, anyway Alex was swiftly to the rescue, paid for our drinks and agreed were it not for our sturdy thighs the situation could have been quite painful !!!! Anyway, what goes on in Banyan stays in Banyan - go there it’s lovely 😍😂😜

Very poor service, been waiting like half an hour for the two coffee and two drinks. They brought the coffee and sugar but no spoon, when I requested they said they don’t have and spoon and came back in 5 min with a straw. Eventually they brought one of the drinks, and we had to wait like another 10 minutes for the second drink, it was quite awkward, especially going out with a partner and one got a drink the other had to wait a while more. The waiters were walking through the tables asking for table number and what they have ordered, no organisation. Each waiter should have been assigned with certain tables so they know where to take the e order. Also, the atmosphere could have been a lot better with a chilled music. Not looking forward to come again

Lovely food, staff are wonderful 🌟

Had a drink at banyan leeds for our 38th wedding anniversary . Sat outside with younger people who joined in our conversation very nice I am 66 my husband 73 . The party we joined bought us a couple of shots and we had a really good time sat outside so I went to the bar and bought 5 baby Guinness £24.00 I had to ask for a tray . He then the barman watched me take 3 steps and 4 of the glasses tipped up I went back to the bar he poured me another 5 shots and charged me again £24.00.disgusting and I will put on every website I can

Everything was lovely, but those seats outside are awful. Really uncomfortable. It would put us off having lunch and drinks there again I’m afraid.

A wonderful surprise… we dropped in with no expectations as Banyan was close to our hotel and had a fantastic evening. The service was exceptional, Georgia looked after us, and in addition to knowing the menu she provided us with insights to help our trip. The food was delicious, fresh and tasty. Such a treat, will definitely be back every time we are in Leeds!

Sat in the outside area & within minutes someone was coming begging from each table & this was ignored by staff. Ordered via the QR code on the table, after 10 minutes staff member came out clearly not knowing what table was where to tell me my choice was unavailable, I then changed to the “deluxe” burger. There was nothing deluxe about it all! More slider than burger, it was bland & swamped in mayonnaise - disappointing. Staff look disinterested, I was brought a caddy with cutlery & sauce bottles (both of which were verging on empty). Not sure what has happened to this restaurant a definite step back from the last time I ate here.

Lovely outdoor seating. Service was slow but wasn’t a problem. Food and drinks a tad expensive but it’s ideally located near the train station to kill an hour or so.

Delicious food with a good variety. Excellent service and great atmosphere. Definitely a place to return to.

Food a little above average but ordered from QR code and charged although app said order had not been processed. Ordered from bar and charged again. Still asking for refund over 31 days late, Always an excuse and passed to someone else. Have contacted bank fraud team - take care.
