Bomba in Leeds

Wonderful restaurant. I have certain things I can not eat like garlic and a lot of things had garlic in, so they made special tapas just for me that tasted amazing. The waitress was the best service I have ever had since beng diagnosed with Chrohns Disease 10 years ago.

Made a reservation for 4 people and arrived on time. Greeted by a lovely woman, who turned out to be the owner. The menu is not huge, but there is enough of a choice to enjoy all the different dishes. We chose sausage, meat, chicken, potato, bread, and cheese dishes. We ordered a Paella platter and 6 tapas dishes between 4 people. Enough food for everyone. Each one was tasty and plentiful. We washed it all down with a jug of homemade sangria. 😋 Thanks for a lovely meal. Definitely recommend that when in Leeds, it's a gem of a place to visit.

Wow!! This place is lovely. The food was amazing. The meatballs were the best I’ve had, patatas bravas particularly good and the churros are to die for. Hot and crispy and light. Also great red sangria. We didn’t order paella but the other tables that had were clearly enjoying it! Get yourselves down here.

Lovely cosy restaurant! Service was on the spot staff are super friendly and welcomed! Food quality was amazing and prices are reasonable - will be returning for defo!

I’ve had lunch here with friends a few times, and it’s always been great. The paella and tapas are super tasty, and the staff are friendly.

Fab brunch! Lovely service from Kai, such lovely food

The cozy and welcoming atmosphere at Bomba, combined with the traditional Spanish decor, set the perfect tone for a fantastic evening ahead. What's more, the staff were not just friendly but also incredibly well-informed about the menu, making excellent recommendations.

Really tasty Spanish food. The seafood paella was perfectly cooked. The staff were very friendly and efficient . Will come back

Staff were so friendly and food was delicious!

Had the paella Valenciana which tasted absolutely disgusting.The flavours of this dish were also very dull and subdued creating an unpleasant taste and texture in your mouth. This was unfortunate considering I had been there and had a decent meal here prior to this experience. One pro is it was relatively cheap for the local area however despite this bombas severe lack in quality and service let’s them down and reflects on the price of the food

Lovely little tapas bar tucked away from the main hustle and hustle of Leeds city centre. 6 tapas and 2 glasses of sangria, just over £50. Food was lovely and friendly service.

Excellent food, great friendly service

Food is 🤌🏼 Service is 🤌🏼 Will be back 100%

We came for a bottomless brunch and had a great time. Would highly recommend!

Best tapas that we’ve had in Leeds!

Lovely tapas just a short walk from city centre. Traditional, delicious, definitely going back to try the paella

Booked a table for 8people. Didn’t realise they only opened certain hours, however they easily accommodated our booking and what a place. Great restaurant, friendly staff and amazing food. Good sized portions from tapas selection and the paella was huge for even 2people. Highly recommend and will certainly be returning when back up north.

I love Bomba and have visited multiple times, the atmosphere is fantastic, so is the service & food. They recently catered for my wife's Birthday, welcoming 11 of us to their restaurant and we were not disappointed, from organisation over email to food on the day everything was 10/10. To quote one of our guests 'this is the best food I've ever tasted'. This is a real hidden gem of Leeds and, I wish everyone found the opportunity to check it out.

Delicious food and wonderful service! Fresh ingredients, great portions and wonderful, ambient atmosphere. One of the best places in Leeds!

Took my date and it actually worked out well as she always wanted to compare the paellas from another place and it was positive all the way through. Not too busy which made the atmosphere more romantic.

The food was alright. It wasn’t proper spanish at all. We ordered Sangria but it smelt really off. They had a lot of items missing. We weren’t told for last orders and was told the kitchen was shut. They ended up serving but not what we asked for again. It’s disappointing to spend money and not getting what we want. Just don’t accept the bookings late in the evening if you can’t commit to them. Staff was okay :)

Really nice Spanish joint. Highly recommended.

Our first visit (lunchtime) made very welcome, friendly efficient service and food second to none. Look forward to visiting in the evening with friends when next in Leeds. Highly Recommended.

Great food, amazing wine, good value and friendly staff.

Lovely food and very pleasant service. Would have preferred to have the usual staggered service instead of it all coming at once. Be aware that at certain times Bomba is actually in the Cross Keys. No bad thing but could cause confusion. Overall very good.

Always a pleasure visiting here. We decided to order the Tapas and Paella deal on a Saturday evening for £25 per head. There were 7 in the party and the food kept coming. Plenty to eat and Paella to finish. This is the third time I have visited and I will be back. The only complaint was there were not enough juicy garlic prawns and we had to share them with the others. With drinks and desert, the bill was just over £250 and well worth it.

Best Spanish food in Leeds and better Paella than in Valencia! Great place to visit with friends/family

The food was nice and reasonably priced, especially for that part of the city. Service was good and pretty quick. Decent drinks selection too. Good atmosphere to go out for dinner. Altogether better than the bigger chain tapas restaurants.

Had a nice dinner here. Everything was well cooked and tasty, service was friendly and attentive. Dog friendly

We were the only ones in at the time, but there was still a warm welcome and a good ambience. Great early evening dinner!

Went here a few months ago, shortly after returning from Malaga where I had tapas most nights. The food at Bomba was far better than any tapas I had in Spain. End of review :)

Mix of appetizers, perfect for waiting with a glass of sparkling wine) and Paella de mariscos. Rice well cooked, but I would have prefered a bit more saffron in it.

A little slice of Spain in Holbeck. A lovely little courtyard to sit in the sun if you're lucky enough. Great food and friendly service. Perfect for our business lunch and I bet it's great in the evenings. Can't wait to return

Amazing tapas friendly staff love this place the paella is out of this world hidden little gem I'm there all the time

Every tapas dish we got was delicious and the churros with dips were too! Looking forward to returning and trying the paella

Had an excellent meal here, really good paella and very nice staff! Our toddler really loved it too, always a relief when a place is child friendly.

Such a lush little spot! Great for a Friday night dinner, not too busy but great vibes. Drinks were delicious (we had beers, sangria and wine) and the food was ace. Tapas was good, particularly like the chorizo in red wine sauce but the paella was the stand out! We had the chicken, prawn and chorizo paella and it was cooked to perfection; prawns were big and juicy, chicken was tender and delicious and the rice was fantastic. Such a hidden gem!

Lovely food, fantastic staff. Visited with my daughter, both really enjoyed a range of Tapas. Great little restaurant, highly recommended.

Amazing food, great value and friendly welcoming staff. Been here many times and always leave happy!

Perfecta paella española perfect spanish paella delicious highly recommended

Delightful gathering with twenty friends, all had the fixed price tapas set to share with three great paella dishes, meats, veg and seafood. Great service. Lovely place.

On arrival, greeted by a lovely gentleman who asked where we would like to sit, we opted for outside as the weather was scorching, and we could have quite easily been abroad. I had booked the bottomless brunch. The gentleman serving us was back and forth, making sure we had drinks for the full 90 minutes. He came to take our order, which he brought to our table when it was ready. We had the tapas menu, and the food was delicious. We followed the food with a further 2 jugs of sangria, a little while later we finished with churros and chocolate sauce dip. It's around a 10 minute steady walk from the train station but we will definitely be returning I'm our next visit to Leeds. The food, staff and atmosphere were absolutely amazing.

A hidden gem. In the summer, the courtyard makes you feel like you are in Spain. The food is immaculate, nothing I could find fault with from the chicken to the churros. The service is excellent with friendly, attentive staff. They also do a partnership with the crossed keys pub so you can sit at the keys with the wider beer selection if you prefer, but the decor in Bomba is lovely and they have their own outdoor seating, so worth a look in first. Not a single thing I could find to knock off a star, and I'll be back again regularly.

Really nice food and atmosphere

Very much an in-place to go to encompass the modern city lifestyle. Great drinks and food that seem even better when the sun shines and you're sat outside!

Very good tapas here and well priced! Good wine! An independent business too, definitely give this restaurant a visit!

Well cooked food but nothing special. Staff friendly. Portions small for the price. Nice to visit once.

Very good food, good service, was a little quiet when we went 6:30 on a Saturday.

It was ok, quite a few items on the menu weren’t available and some of the dishes were rather bland. The meatballs were good though.

Best meal we have had in ages! Will be back time again and will be spreading the word!

Absolutely love this little Spanish tapas bar it's better than tapas in Spain and its on my doorstep

Food good, but a tad expensive. Atmosphere a bit lacking.

Best paella had in this country by a mile, good service and all round fantastic spot !!

We had the bottomless brunch and it was great. Was lovely to have sangria as an option rather than the usual Prosecco! The food was great The staff were attentive, friendly and knowledgeable, especially Leo who was super helpful and nothing was too much trouble Will definitely be back Highly recommend

Croquetas y albóndigas muy buenas. La salsa de tomate muy buena. La paella no la hemos probado todavía.

Authentic Spanish tapas the croquetas were delicious and my husband loved his egg chips and chorizo dish. Reasonable price for both food and drinks.friendly service. Would be nice to go back when it's warmer to sit out in the courtyard and imagine I'm back in barcelona.

Welcoming efficient staff, great atmosphere, and really lovely tapas and paella.. one of our favourites was the loaded fries…. So tasty .

The food and staff were excellent. Food - delicious, good portions l. We ordered 3 tapas dishes each at first, nothing too stodgy, then a final 4th dish after! All the food was really well cooked and the bravas sauce is delicious. Staff - the two waiting staff on worked as a really good team, communicating well and managing the busy restaurant we'll. Both very good in customer service, attentive and friendly at all times. There seemed to be plenty of mutual respect between kitchen and waiting staff which is always a good thing to see. My only two improvements would be a bit more heat (staff probably didn't feel it as they were so busy) and music a little louder. All round, a great experience. We'll be back to try the paella next time.

Last minute booking and we were running late. Staff were brilliant and accommodating, lovely relaxed atmosphere and the food was lush.

Excellent paella, tapas, and cocktails! Staff were all very friendly and attentive. Restaurant is in an old foundry building and has great decor and ambience. 10/10 will visit again!

Incredible food and service!! Visited with our 2 children at 5pm on a Saturday. Staff were so lovely and friendly. We ordered the paella which was super tasty and a number of other dishes so the children could try lots of different food. Couldn’t fault anything. Absolutely delicious!! Will definitely return again soon.

We visited Saturday late lunch after a friend recommended Bomba. Had a couple of tapas while waiting for the paella. Everything was exceptional. The little things, garlic in the garlic prawns was cooked to the exact point of perfection to compliment them. The chorizo in red wine was the biggest surprise, amazing flavours and texture in a simple dish I’ve had in a dozen other places, but never like this. We were looked after at our table by the charming Leo who suggested some bread to mop up the wine/oil, genius! The paella exceeded our already high expectations. Outstanding flavour, balanced and subtle. Still thinking about it two days later. The venue is lovely and relaxed and we will be back asap now we have found this place. Thank you to the kitchen and the whole team for one of the nicest meals I have had in a while.

This lovely tapas bar/restaurant is a bit hidden away outside of Leeds city centre but is well worth a visit! The food is delicious and the atmosphere really makes you feel welcome. We enjoy coming here for an evening meal out or sometimes just for a relaxed drink and some food after work.

We had our Christmas party here for 12 and the food was fantastic.

Came here with my partner and a friend and everything from sangria, to the food, to the service was spectacular! Thank you Leo and Elizabeth for being fantastic even while the restaurant was full, we will be coming back 100%!

Great potential. You guys in Leeds are spoilt - better use it before you lose it! Great food, great service, negative - coffee was not to my liking but Hey, that might just be me. Churros was great especially the chocolate sauce.

We came as a group of 6 friends for a Christmas get together- we all agreed that this was the best Christmas meal we’ve had EVER (& I like to think we’re a discerning bunch!) The food was plentiful and every dish was delicious, the service was warm, friendly and fun - zero complaints! It was the perfect place to come as a group; we loved the set menu as it meant we didn’t need to stop chatting to decide what to eat! And it meant we got to try everything, and everything was amazing! Absolutely loved it- will definitely be back for more…

Delicious food, lovely service. The seafood paella is a must!

Food was delicious, service was lovely. Highly recommend the patatas bravas and the seafood paella. The atmosphere is great as well. Will come back for sure

Where do I start!? Paella de marisco beautifully made; croquetas were gooey, crispy and tasty (as they should be!), pan con tomate was on point. We also tried the patatas bravas, also perfectly done. Please pay a visit if you want to try authentic Spanish food in Leeds.

They gave me a nice meal with me and my crush Zack Barnsley you made my date thanks xx I will definitely look forward for my next visit with my mum thanks so much also the food is so good I recommend it I got tortilla Espanola and Zack got the paella del dia ( he loved it thanks)

Overall, a nice place with a warm atmosphere. We had tapas. The portions were small and of average quality. Quite expensive overall.

Have eaten here a few times now Each time the food/drinks and service have been wonderful Our last visit we ordered paella for the first time it was delicious cooked to order fresh & full of flavour Can’t wait to visit again Give this place...

We came here for our team Christmas lunch and had the festive menu, the food was delicious with dietary requirements catered for, the portions were great, the festive menu is excellent value for money. The croquettes were our favourite Service was friendly and very efficient,...

I have been here twice now, and both times have been exceptional. Best bocadillos this side of madrid. This restaurant is tucked away but worth finding. The food is a fantastic quality and very authentic. The service is friendly and feels like a family run place in Spain. In terms of what they have on offer, it is everything from sandwiches (bocadillos) at lunch to paella and tapas with an evening menu also. The prices are very reasonable and I will be back here again.

Visited last night with my partner, had the meatballs, garlic prawn, paella valenciana, churros and two drinks, and came to just under £50 which is really reasonable. Everything was absolutely delicious- the service was great, everyone was really friendly. Such a hidden gem, we'll definitely be returning!

Fantastic food as always, really enjoyed it. Very authentic and amazing service.

Best Spanish place in Leeds, wonderful staff running an amazing place tucked away in a little gone to part of Leeds, honestly cannot recommend this place enough, brilliant lunch time get away from a busy day. Sit back relax and talk over truly authentic Spanish dining. Don't miss out on this place.

Lovely food - genuinely welcoming hosts, just a little empty, so not much atmosphere; will definitely go back in a busier day.

Location is a bit out of the way but was really great food and lovely service. Had the Valencia Paella, would definitely recommend! The rosemary chips and the tortilla del dia are a must also! Will certainly be back. The cocktail selection is mainly bitter drinks but they have a good wine selection.

Amazing tapas, great Sangria, good atmosphere, great service. Took a chance on a small place that's relatively new and glad we did! Will be going again to try the paella.

Such a fabulous place serving real home cooked Spanish food & freshly made authentic paella. We were given a very warm welcome, excellent service all evening. A place where you can really settle in & enjoy a long night without feeling rushed. Cannot wait to...

Ordered the tapas and it was delicious, every dish a hit. Lovely surroundings and great service. Was very quiet on the Wednesday night I visited - this place deserves to be bustling! My favourite meal out in ages, very much looking forward to a return...

Absolutely amazing. Had an over night stay in Leeds and googled places to eat, this did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the staff were so welcoming. Next time in Leeds we will definitely be returning here.

Pleasant airy environment to sit and munch well made food.

Me and my friend went for a meal before going out for the evening. The restaurant is tucked away just out of the city centre, we had the meat and cheese board and paella mixta. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It’s...

Love the food and prices Will be back soon

Lovely restaurant, attentive staff with fantastic food & drink. We had a starter & main. Would return on our next visit to Leeds.

A little outside the centre but well worth the trip. The staff are very friendly and the whole restaurant has a great atmosphere. The food itself is amazing value we opted for a variety of the tapas dishes and thoroughly enjoyed every one. Safe to say we’ll be going back next time we visit Leeds.

Good tapas & lovely staff, thanks for letting me charge my mobile

My friend and I went on a Friday night it was after work so an early tea. We had 4 tapas and the meat and cheese board, the food was delicious and the service was very good and the sangria was delicious. I will definitely...

Quite a hidden lovely place we stumbled along earlier in the day whilst out for the day. We decided we'd give it a try and called in at tea time. Lovely and friendly staff, small but interesting menu and very reasonable prices. We started with...

Pretty hidden gem here. The restaurant is super welcoming with decor and music that have a very relaxed and 'stay a while' feel. There is an excellent courtyard and outdoor seating. The food was excellent - easily the best Spanish food I have had in Leeds. The staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Price was good - 4 tapas, a paella for 2, 2 drinks and 2 deserts all for £57! Highly recommended.

Visited Bomba last weekend for the 1st time with friends. Absolutely delicious tapas. The meatballs, prawns & rosemary chips were my favourite. Beautiful wine, friendly & helpful staff, clean toilets and lovely decor. We sat outside and it was lovely. I would highly recommend you try it. We will be returning again soon.

We only found out about this place through insta, took my parents there for lunch. We’ve been to Spain many times and as it was a hot day thought we’d try and recreate a little bit of Spain in Leeds. Bomba did not disappoint. We started with a few Spanish beers and some olives, then had the meatballs, ham croquettes, calamares, and fries with aliolli. After that we had the paella valenciana, and then some churros with chocolate dipping sauce. All of it was beautiful, couldn’t fault any of the food. The tapas was excellent, the paella was tasty and had plenty of chicken in it, and the churros were perfectly done with a really good quality rich chocolate sauce. The service was great, our host was attentive, friendly and prompt. We sat outside in the lovely quiet courtyard, but noted that the inside space was well decorated and comfortable too. We will definitely be coming here again.

The food was great. The service was wonderful- only two staff waiting but dealt with the busy service perfectly- that’s all you can ask for! The setting is very close to the city centre but peaceful and chilled- the only suggestion I have is to...

We had lovely tapas to start, paella for main and the most wonderful fruit pavlova to finish. Service was friendly and just at the right pace. Brilliant price too. I thoroughly recommend, we will definitely be back.

Went for lunch here today (a Friday). Seriously good tapas. Every dish was delicious - lovely, standout flavours across every plate. Highly recommended.

Amazing service, sangria and Spanish beer was really good and the paella.. well just perfect. Will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Went with my parents and partner for dinner. We had two paellas to share and several tapas dishes. Everything was great and the staff were lovely.
