Banyan Leeds in Leeds

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.

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

Lovely old building in Leeds really enjoyed the Mango Margaretta

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

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.

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.

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

Great cocktails and lovely outdoor seating for drinks !

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

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 😍😂😜

Lovely food, staff are wonderful 🌟

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

Sat outside and ate food in the sunshine. We waited well over 40mins for our food but when it came it was lovely. Great atmosphere xx

We had some tapas dishes to share. Food was good. Only gripe is that you can only get cows milk to go with your coffee or latte. Service a little impersonal.

The food was excellent and the stuff was friendly. I just been there to eat in as I was passing by. I gave 4 starts because of the ordering system that was very slow. Furthermore, as I never been here before, the system required me to register and to add the credit card. Nice idea, but I would have preferred to talk to a waiter.

Nice for lunch. Food and service were great. Nice comfortable surroundings

Pleasant inside but on more than one visit, friends and I have been waiting too long at the bar to get served, and there is often (in my view at least) a lack of urgency to serve people who have been waiting, with colleagues seemingly talking while one or two staff members serve. The days of waiting at a bar fifteen minutes before being served are thankfully over in the vast majority of places.

Food is tasty but is slightly priceycfor what you get , cocktails look amazing though! Didn't really interact with staff much as we ordered via the QR code was sat outside.

A nice pub but if you don't book a table you struggle to get a seat.

Just called for drinks in the sun

Very crowded as it was raining 🌧 😑

Best brunch we ever had the food drinks the atmosphere definitely recommend

Great bar and lovely outside when nice

Ordered 30 minute ago food, nothing delivered, just asked for a refund.

Did not eat here. Lovely lively place. Chairs outside, though, look lovely but not practical. Really uncomfortable and dig in. Alot were broken too.

Georgia is the best waitress ever

Great food and drinks, amazing service, particularly from our waitress Georgia!

We had bottomless brunch at Banyan and were quite disappointed. The food was average and the drinks tasted really watered down. The service was good and our waitress was really friendly but unfortunately the food, drink and lack of atmosphere let it down. Would not recommend for a bottomless brunch.

Called in here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Whilst busy it was by no means full. We ordered 3 English breakfasts so nothing too complicated. We were told it would be a 20 minute wait which was more than enough time to make our train. After 45 minutes we were still waiting and running out of time. Upon asking for a refund no one wanted to know. We were passed to 3 different staff members before we finally found someone who was willing to help but even then he was abrupt and offered little in the way of apology.

Lovely Bar with a great atmosphere, cocktails were excellent and staff friendly. We didn't eat but food looked really good.

Went mid week and I was surprised how quiet it was, but that didn't affect the atmosphere. Great service (we had a party of ten) and really nice food. Would recommend

Lovely start to our night last night with cocktails. BUT very disappointed to be excluded from the 2 for 1 offer because having a no alcohol cocktail. Not very encouraging. Quite often there is a driver or a non drinker in a group of friends.

No where nearly enough staff working behind the bar, no idea who needs serving, not the best experience. Tried to order drinks from outside but the app wasn't wiring properly

Cocktail drinkers closing up the bar.

Such lovely food and never without a drink! Georgia was the best host and made sure our bottomless dinner was amazing. Give our girl a raise x

Went for pre concert drink, but not enough staff on! Poor planning!

Great bar full off atmosphere weather popping in for a family meal or a cheeky night out. Staff are amazing people

Absolutely not a place for the older generation, like me...! Crazily noisy with students (?) having a great time, but no chance for a couple to chat over dinner.

Friendly quick service, nice atmosphere. Was quite busy when we arrived at around 6pm but it was still comfortable and didn't cause any issues with long waiting times. Food was alright, nothing special but I'd definitely go and try some of the other items on the menu.

It was super busy when we visited so great atmosphere, but service was slow and despite preordering we waited a long time for our food.

Nice atmosphere, food was good too but nothing special.

I was on a solo trip and stopped in to grab a mimosa or two and a snack before heading back home! There was ZERO service although there were a lot of staff doing nothing. I ordered a mimosa as I sat down and was ignored the rest of the time I was there. It’s a nice place, but not an establishment I’ll visit again.

Fabulous bottomless brunch for 10 of us. Waiting staff kept us topped up with drinks and the food was lovely. There was a rowdy and rude table behind us, who thankfully left.

Portions whilst tasty weren't huge, though to be fair they were fine for lunch. Would be disappointed for dinner though. Drinks order took a long time and was wrong first time round. Meals took quite a while to be served. I would go back again in the hope it was all a little quicker

We came as a group from work to say goodbye to a colleague and had the bottomless brunch. I cannot fault the service, the food or the drinks. The Alpine Chicken Schnitzel was great and it was a great portion size. The bottomless drinks were fantastic and continuously topped up with more on the way. A very reasonable price too!

Went here for a bottomless brunch for my birthday. The food was disgusting and the service was shocking. Had to wait 20 minutes before a waitress came over to take our drink orders. Girl with the red hair kept walking off and was rude. Drinks were all fizzy and made us feel sick after a few. Won’t be coming back

Poor service, wrong drinks Food cold , not asked preference on what we wanted Small Yorkshire pudding Beef on the bone all fat for £19.00 a disgrace Served in a bowl Mashed potatoes cold , veg just about ok Not many people dining don’t blame them we won’t be going again

Flat white obviously had been made and left standing before serving. Not hot. Had a chicken club sandwich, well for £12 (i believe i paid) i would have expected actual proper chicken and not frozen plastic chicken. Bacon had fat still on. Chips scraggy like they were cheap frozen chips you buy from the supermarket. Over priced in my humble opinion. Will not be back

What an excellent place to go to in Leeds city centre really comfortable and relaxing 😎

Food,atmosphere,table position,all very very good.,made special by our waiter Dan,totally on the ball and nothing to much trouble.

Wow, beautiful place but painfully noisy. Had to cancel although staff very understanding. A real shame

Great place for a bottomless brunch!

Booked their private room for a hen party, the communication from the outset during the reservation was just outstanding. I got replies to my queries within 24hrs and the reservation was just effortless and seamless. The room was set up beautifully and the welcome drinks and food was amazing. I honestly can't thank the Banyan team enough. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend. Just a fantastic experience from start to finish. Thank you so much.

Went with a group of 12 today for drinks. Staff were rude, it was not made clear that it was table service. Impolitely told, when at the bar, that nobody else was to come to the bar. Then waited over 10 minutes for anyone to come and take an order, had to go to the lower bar to get served. Mocktail was overly sweet and poorly presented. A woman on another table had a drink poured into her lap. Terrible.

Bottomless brunch for a special birthday. Couldn't fault it, staff were brilliant and the alcohol was constant not like some bottomless brunch. Well worth the price 😁

Came for a drink sunday afternoon and got treated by the manager like actual dirt. Slow service and just rude for no reason whatsoever.

Drunk girls making a show of themselves! Not good.

Molly was just the best server ever. She was lovely and super attentive. Best hostess ever

Good place to relax, eat and chat. Expensive drinks but thats Leeds city centre prices. Enjoyable.

Went for a work lunch on a Monday. It wasn't busy but we had to wait over an hour for the food to come out. Not good if you want a quick working lunch. The food was bland. I had the Cauliflower curry. The chapati was too thick and over cooked so the outside was like chewing leather. For £16 it definitely wasn't worth the money. A nice bar for drinks but wouldn't eat there again or recommend it for food.

Dan served our group of seven. Great service, very polite and attentive. My haloumi/salad bowl could have been a little more filling for 13.99. Next time I'll have the chicken schnitzel and chips. £10.00 on certain days.

Had a fantastic bottomless supper with a group of friends to celebrate my 50th. A big thank you to Amelia for your attentiveness and making our time there so fabulous 😊

Good food options, good staff and great decorations but way too noisy even for 1pm! Would happily go back but with friends - not for a family chat.

Great cocktails for NYE night out (2-4-1)

Visited New Years eve great atmosphere, good beer and cocktail selection.

Visit often with my wife and son. Staff are excellent, particularly the shift managers, they're always accommodating. Food is simple pub grub stuff, sandwiches are good value at £10-12 with fries etc. Everything else is as you'd imagine, very good but won't necessarily blow your socks off (but what do you expect for £15?).

Didn't eat.... Just a little concerned by the state of the toilets excrement smeared all around rim 😱. Drinks service was excellent though... Megan B went the extra yard.

Visited Thursday evening at 430 for works Xmas meal. Steak and Ale Pie was overcooked some of the meat was burnt inside. Crust was hard and not edible. Took 20mins for QR scan drinks to arrive at table but I had to prompt waiter. It was too loud to have a conversation at the table. Noise from bar patrons and music was too much. It was a relief (on the ears) to go to the toilet. I got a free santa hat 😀 🎅 so not all bad

It really is a beautiful place however staff are moody. Not all! But the majority.. service with a smile has gone a miss in training. It really put a damper on my experience.
