Casa Leeds in Leeds

Lovely place in Grand Arcade, we went before seeing a show at the Grand Theatre. The host and hostess were very nice and charismatic people, fun banter. We decided on tapas and got a recommendation as well for one when we could not make up our minds. Very delicious, my favorite was Bollos De Yucca as I had never tried cassava root before. I thought it was very unique that everything was made to be gluten free. And the Caipirinha was magnificent! Many thanks from the Yank :P

Great atmosphere, and mixed opinion by service (great staff for serving but not very pleasant from the desk on arrival). Not many choices for vegan, as you can see in the images-we ordered all tapas which are vegan on the menu and i thought that I have ordered 2 each as they looked and tasted resemble. I have seen many good reviews, hence decided to visit there- but lilttle disspointing. Personally thought that it is Slightly overly priced for what we get.

Great food, the owner is a sweetheart.

Lovely tapas style dishes with sides to complment them . Two or three tapas per person. Friendly staff will advise. Also substantial mains. Great pre theatre venue.

Brilliant authentic food which is all gluten free. For me as a coeliac this is pure heaven. The owners were so friendly and genuinely can't wait to go back again, could fault this place in any way!

My first visit here and it certainly won't be my last. Delicious fresh tacos, arepas and the empanadas were simply fantastic, friendly staff and a great location. Highly recommended.

100% gluten-free, but you wouldn't know it. Calamari was excellent, flavour was a bit lacking, and a mushy prawn put me off a little. But the food was hot and cooked well. However, it lacked punchy flavours that you'd expect. Which is a shame there was no chilli hit or the combo of lime and coriander, the corn taco under the watery beef was extremely oily and salty which if you likr that it would be great. The enpinadas de queso cheese pasty were delicious and hot and stringy. All in all it's OK, it's not up there in my top 10.

Lovely atmosphere and incredible tapas, charismatic David delivered lots of laughs and was always a pleasure to talk to. Amazing service from his lovely wife Marta also. Will definitely be returning

Staff were lovely, David and Marta are amazing and charismatic, made the meal an experience and definitely will be returning. Loved it

En un mundo donde las cadenas dominan los centros de las ciudades, ocasionalmente encontrarás algún lugar como Casa Leeds que te levanta el alma y te alimenta. Pequeño pero perfectamente formado, de propiedad y gestión independiente, ambiente y comida sudamericana y una bienvenida a todos - los visitantes. Cócteles Zingy, comida callejera perfecta, servicio cálido. No puedo recordar la última vez que tomé un punt en un lugar aparentemente tan sencillo que terminó siendo una noche tan grande. VE ALLÍ ❤️

Casa nos lo recomendaron por su amplia gama de platos sin gluten, y nos sorprendió la bienvenida, las bebidas, el servicio y la comida. Muy cartera - amable, también! Comimos cócteles, el mío hecho con un espíritu cubano del que nunca había oído hablar, ¡excelente! Compartimos algunos platos, los langostinos eran sublimes, todavía estoy babeando pensando en la salsa de ajo en la que vinieron. Los paquetes de yuca y ternera, empanadas de queso, plátano y brócoli estaban todos más allá de nuestras expectativas. Teníamos 'pastel negro' de postre, el mejor pud que he tenido en un restaurante en años! Agregue propietarios amables, un servicio perfecto, vino delicioso y el ambiente más fresco de este lado de La Habana, sin duda volveremos!

Tonight, they had the Bollywood night in this pub. The people in VIP area, thought that they could do anything. The people from VIP area were literally harassing and misbehaving with the ladies. This wouldn’t have happened if the security measures were in place. Please do the required next time.

Number one experience, perfect in drink, food, behavior and services. Thank you.

The most amazing South American food! Everything was so fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was so friendly and the staff were so accommodating. There is also an area upstairs where they play live music which we will come back and try! We will definitely be returning!

delightful food, great atmosphere and really lovely friendly staff! great sense of humour and the fully gluten free menu is fab.

Deliciosa comida auténtica. Gran personal y ambiente. Teníamos las gambas que eran deliciosos y el plátano frito. Margaritas also excellent. Una joya en la ciudad

Unexpected ended up here on a night out in Leeds. Very glad we did. Best tapas in Leeds, incredible service, great vibes and reasonable prices. Special mention to David, he kept us all well entertained. Will definitely be taking friends here when i’m next in Leeds.

If you are gluten free you will love ❤️ this place. I did all the food is gf and it's tasty. Have been back, still great, with exceptional hosts. Love this place.

Brilliant place. Authentic South American food. No matter what you order, it is going to be delicious and mind blowing. Great team of staff. It is a must visit restaurant and there is also a dance club upstairs, there are dance events and lessons on South American style dancing. Very fun places. I have visited Casa for over 5 years and the high quality of food and the great service has been consistent.

Came here on visit to Leeds, fully gluten free. Food was full of flavour, they even accommodated my requests of garnishes on the side. The servers were lovely, accommodating, super friendly and welcoming. The owner was there and living his best life making sure everyone was looked after. It was a refreshing experience of a family run restaurant that was laid back with a lovely team and attention to detail. Couldn't recommend enough. Only downside is the 3 flights of stairs to the toilet which isn't accessible friendly.

La semana pasada vine a Leeds con mi familia. No es mi primera vez aquí y cada vez que voy, visito el restaurante Casa. Para ser honesta, después de leer las últimas reseñas me sorprendió mucho porque solo tengo buenos recuerdos de aquí, así que decidí revisarlo una vez más. Y como supuse, desde el principio, todo fue excelente. Cuando llamé para reservar la mesa, hablé con una mujer muy agradable. Cuando llegamos al restaurante, fuimos amablemente recibidos por los propietarios. La comida era caliente, fresca y deliciosa y el personal estaba muy interesado y servicial también. Francamente recomiendo este restaurante a todo el mundo y en mis próximos viajes a Leeds, sin duda visitaré este lugar una y otra vez! : )

A fantastic place . And a very welcoming host . Me and my wife had a fantastic time . The food is beyond amazing . We both went crazy and ordered items to see what they were . Fantastic people and fantastic food . Will be coming again very soon

Reservamos una mesa con 2 semanas de antelación. Era el cumpleaños de mi novia y lo dije en la reserva. Estábamos sentados a las 7 pm. Izquierda hasta las 7: 25 pm antes tuve que subir al bar y pedir menús. El dueño fue muy sarcástico al respecto y lo hizo parecer una broma. Luego tuvimos que esperar unos 10 minutos para pedir bebidas, luego otros 10 para pedir comida. Ojalá nos hubiéramos ido para ser honestos. La comida llegó, lo único sazonado en los platos fue la carne. Todo lo demás era soso. Pedimos las patatas fritas de plátano con salsa picante. Estaban muy secos y la salsa no estaba nada picante. Realmente decepcionante. Mi novia es celíaca, así que elegimos este lugar ya que es todo sin gluten! Ella estaba decepcionada masivamente, especialmente porque era su cumpleaños también! Envié un correo electrónico al pesebre el día después, no recibí respuesta! Pagamos 123 libras. 00 por comida sosa y un servicio horrible! ¡No volverás!

Great food, cheery staff, excellent cuba libres and mojitos, what's not to like? We had a selection of tapas at lunchtime. The selection was unusual, in a good way: I can't think of anywhere else in Leeds where you can get plantain or soft tacos.

We were looking through Leeds for somewhere for lunch and stumbled on this amazing restaurant. The food was absolutely stunning and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The amazing and friendly service made this restaurant absolutely perfect.

Very good food, something to cater for everyone. Well worth a try!

What a very lovely dinner this was! Met at the door by David, who I think is just about the most charming host I've ever had the good fortune to encounter. Several rounds of excellent service, cocktails and delicious food later we waddled our way out very content indeed. Highly recommended :)

Was in the mood for some empanadas and fried plantains and this place did not disappoint! The owner was so kind and made us feel so welcome there.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff that genuinely care about their patrons experience. Everything is gluten free! Wow! 🙀

Great food and service in Leeds!

Awesome small plates restaurant, delicious food and an entirely gluten free venue. We will be going back.

Visites this place on friend's recommendation . What an absoluto gem! The food is freshly cooked, the cocktails are to die for and loved the background music in spanish There is lots of banter ando smiles allá round Will vi sit again when nextin Leeds. Highy recommended.

Wow what a fantastic experience!! We found Casa whilst on a flying visit to Leeds, and what a find. They put so much love into the food, service and ambiance and best of all, it’s totally coeliac safe. Probably the best dinner I have eaten out since diagnosis 9 years ago. Thanks so much, we loved it.

Fabulous service',great food and music-. Love it in here... Fantastic atmosphere and los of laughter- Thank you. Will be back

It's an excellent place, set with pleasant music, a special and very kind clientele, exquisite dishes to taste...it is really a place to enjoy...thanks to all the staff and it's owners for their pleasant attention...I recommend it.

CREEPY OWNER!!!!!!!! Me and my friend went here for dinner, we are both women in our early 20s. If this is you, AVOID. The owner served us, was at least 55, and kept making creepy and very explicit comments. Food was OK, 3 of the dishes were essentially the same thing with different names. Cocktails were nice, but didn’t make up for the weird experience we had here. Would not recommend to anyone.

A spectacular place, full of unforgettable experiences, cultural exchange, language exchange, a multicultural environment, with delicious cuisine, music, colors and flavors to the palate, the love, effort and dedication of its impeccable owners, is noticeable in every detail. Definitely Worth a visit.

Visited this place on 15/6/24 Had beef pasties and a traditional Colombian dish called bandeja paisa I must say I felt very happy with my choice of food, it was very hearty and tasty. The cocktail clearly was handcrafted, there was a palpable difference to it! Can’t beat natural ingredients either. The atmosphere was lively and the staff very polite. Highly recommend. Wonderful experiences with wonderful people David & Marta

Amazing food, lots of variety of flavours, well cooked and generous portions. Warm, friendly staff were very welcoming and spent time with each table.

My third times going to Casa Leeds and I was once again very happy. Fantastic atmosphere and excellent service. The staff was super friendly and the food arrived promptly . If you visit Casa Leeds you must try empanadas and their refreshing Mojito.

Went to Casa with female friends (we are mid to late 30s) on Friday evening and these reviews below are actually laughable… David, the owner here is 70 YEARS OLD. 70!! He was respectful, friendly and charismatic and I’m in awe of the previous reviews as this is so far from the experience me and my pals had. Food was delicious and you can really tell ‘David’ is passionate about what he has created. This place feels like ‘home’: I’d urge you to try for Latin tapas - no where else like it. Don’t let these silly words put you off trying here - comments like this can ruin a persons career and that is so wrong. It was a great night.

Excellent independent restaurant! Myself and two friends really enjoyed our meals here, the quality of the food is impeccable and the wine was delicious. Lovely ambience and very kind owner, could not recommend more!

The owner of this place is very creepy. My friend and I visited for dinner and from the moment we sat down the owner (who was also our waiter) consistently came over to our table and made sexual comments which made us feel very uncomfortable. Sadly, the food was mediocre and alone would make this place somewhere I wouldn't visit again. Please avoid this restaurant especially if you are a woman.

Walking through the centre and spotted this place and decided to give it a go. Best choice ever! The staff very friendly and helpful, the place and atmosphere is very relaxing. Food was amazing, the beef taco comes with salsa and avocado, and the Bandeja Paisa is a mix of flavours, absolute delicious.

Best meal we have had in Leeds in a long time. Wine was great and the owner was very passionate about his wine. Will 100% be coming back! Our new favourite restaurant in Leeds !

Nice central location in a Leeds arcade. Decor was a little subdued for a latin themed restaurant. Half the drinks we ordered were unavailable or not chilled and the single waiter kept explaining it was his first day on the job, albeit he isn't responsible for stocking a fridge i assume. Food when it came was OK. My Peruvian Dish Lomo Saltado was meant to be chunky skin on chips, vegetables and beef. It arrived as a mound of boiled rice, the skin on chips and beef that was OK but not memorable. Average. Friends reported their tapas was good so I was unlucky.

Everything that I have tried it’s being delicious. Will be back soon! We definitely recommend it!

Dancing, was very quiet, so left early. Not sure what is happening with the kizomba lately. But it's not the same as it was before lockdown. Kizomba needs the palops to make it great and that's just not happening.

We wanted pre show food for the take that ever at the arena. So I researched and found this lovely tapas bar. Booked a table online easily. Lovely cosy atmosphere in eating area- only around 9 tables for 2 or 4 people. Menu is limited but omg delightful. Only point of niggle was the desserts as w chose churros but these weren’t available nor coconut ice cream. A note on the menu or told when handed the desserts choice would have helped. We did choose the mousse in the end, mango and passion fruit- small but mighty x there appeared to be a nightclub/private venue area upstairs which looked attractive. Service was relaxed, friendly and we liked the intimacy of it.

I ate at Casa with my sister on a Saturday lunchtime. The restaurant was nearly full at 1pm so I’d recommend booking. It’s quirky inside with a view of the open kitchen. We chose 5 tapas dishes and two sides, a salad and the sweet potato fries, which I would say was perfect for a lunchtime. All the dishes were lovely, we went for nearly all beef but I particularly enjoyed the pasties and the taco. We had a bottle of the Sauvignon blanc, well priced at £24. The bill for two, rounding up with a tip came to £75. The service was excellent. We really enjoyed and id highly recommend for something a little different in the Leeds lunch market!

Lovely little restaurant serving quality gluten free south American dishes. Service is always friendly and food always looks amazing when brought to the table. The banana cake is fantastic. You can tell the chef and waiting staff have pride in their service.

Amazing find! Best arepas I've had and the chicharrones were also brilliant, great quality Colombian food, and the prices are really reasonable. Highly recommended.

Gracias!!! Booked to celebrate birthday with group of 8 Staff was spot on and had table ready, excellent timings to take order and serve food, friendly staff and some speak Spanish which gives 100% latin vibes ( feel like at home as I am LatinAmerican), food delicious, tasty and fresh. Staff was singing happy birthday at the end and gave free Aguardiente shot to celebrate, 100% recommended and I would come back again.

Four of us visited and booked ahead. We came for lunch and when we arrived I got a sense of good vibes. I chose the meat taco which I found was tasty and filling. I had the house cake but found it a little dry. The service was quick and staff friendly.

Amazing food, drinks and People. We will definitely be back

This little restaurant is out of the way, a hidden gem. It’s not very big, but very nicely laid out. Good view of the kitchen where they cook everything fresh. The food was very tasty, the steak was amazing. The menu isn’t huge, but quality over quantity is certainly the case here. Presentation was great and staff were so pleasant. Would recommend anyone to give it a try!

Great food, super friendly staff

Gorgeous little place, visited for bottomless brunch recently and had the best time. The tequila sunrises were a dream, the food and the service was incredible! Highly recommend, will definitely be back!

I managed to walk-in on a Saturday night with a half full belly. Yet, the restaurant still managed to impress me with the quality of food they served. My friend and I ordered 6 tapas in total and that's just the right portion. We had a cocktail each and man, they were generous with the liquor :D. The atmosphere I gave 4 stars only because we were place on the second floor. The vibes wasn't as good as the ground floor with an open kitchen. I will book next time.

Amazing gluten free food, safe for coeliacs, lovely staff, wonderful atmosphere, will definitely be going there again x

First time with friends and have to say possibly the friendliest down to earth yet utterly amazing staff ever experienced in Leeds! From the moment walked in the welcome was 10-10 all the way through to the chat on the way out… Food great value, great quality and amazing tastes and flavours … Catered for the gluten free, veggie and carnivore in our party! Surroundings very nice … Thanks Casa can’t wait to come back and try bottomless brunch

Tapas great. They offer music tc but we tried food only. Good location near the Grand Theatre, No lunch option.

A real hidden gem, great food you won't find anywhere else

Amazing atmosphere, caring staff and food! definitely will go again!

I pre-purchased tickets for the desi night, but initially struggled to locate the venue, mistaking it for a restaurant & not a nightclub. Eventually, an Asian security shouted us and guided us to the correct way. However, I found him abit rude and I must admit that the bhangra (desi night) turned out to be quite disappointing for a Christmas party, and the overall experience was not good. I won't be attending again!!

My friend and I had a wonderful time at Casa, the restaurant is beautifully quaint and the service is particularly exceptional. Now the food... Wow.. Flavoursome, beautifully presented and extremely tasty!!

Having just returned home from this restaurant I feel I need to share the experience. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!! The ambience is relaxed and casual with fantastic staff. The owners make themselves known and genuinely want to get to know you. So to the food....non fussy with a variety of South American National dishes. As a party of 6 we chose a tapas each as a starter and I opted for the Lomo Saltado for my main. The best part for me is that the dish wasn't spicy and the herb and flavours fused well. The plate was adequate and well priced. Everyone sent their plates back empty as we all thoroughly enjoyed our chosen dishes. This is definitely a restaurant to attend and I certainly will be doing in the near future.

Was very much looking forward to trying Casa, lots of great reviews. Firstly we were going to the play house and the staff refused to acknowledge that they have a pre-theatre offer advertised on their website. Whilst it was not our key reason for going, the customer service was poor. Maybe that made the food feel underwhelming, I thought it was tasty enough, but not great, for the cost. As I say maybe it was the staff vibe that gave me that feeling.

A friendly restaurant with a good selection of traditional Spanish dishes the bandeja paise was delicious we will return.

Second time I have been here and the food was amazing again recommending to everyone 😋

Wow this place is an absolute for anyone who follows a gluten free diet. It was absolute heaven to be able to eat anything on the menu without worry of cross contamination. My none celiac husband loved the food too, which isn’t always the case with gluten free. We both left feeling happy, full and wanted to plan our next visit! The staff are so friendly and food and drinks are provided quickly. Love love love it!!!

Wonderful!!!! Food was fantastic! I went with my bestie who is Coeliac and the relief she felt for it being fully GF was great! Service was fantastic and we felt so welcomed! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Leeds

So many highlights with this restaurant. Excellent service, incredibly attentive and personable. It was great to have entirely gf food as an incredibly sensitive coeliac. I am also vegetarian and had plenty of choice. Food was fresh and delicious. I will definitely be back.

Great restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed and homely - staff so friendly it's like visiting people you know. The food is delicious too. Will definitely be returning

Fresh, authentic Latin American food. Beautifully cooked and served, with amazing atmosphere and very friendly and knowledgable owners. Highly reccomend.

Fantastic food and service. Owner was lovely and very friendly. Only other coeliacs will understand and appreciate how amazing and comforting it is to go to a restaurant that is fully gluten free. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again!!

We stumbled on this place by chance as the restaurant we were aiming for had closed down. We were reading the menu laid on the tables outside when David (learned his name from other reviewers) encouraged us to come in. We are so glad we did. We have eaten tapas extensively in Spain and have been to Argentina several times so our expected standard for this type of food are pretty high. The food, service and good humour matched anything we’ve had elsewhere. David and his wife commit great energy to making the visit special. We will be back. A great place to go pre-theatre, after work or post-Leeds Market (they open at noon on Saturdays).

Newly refurbished. Coffee and cake was lovely. Very welcoming too.

Wow, what a fabulous meal and relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The food was great. I hadn't told my friends that all of the meals were gluten free until we arrived. Like the owner said they serve great food which just happens to be gluten free, which for a Coeliac was an added bonus. I will definitely be back soon as all of the dishes looked lovely.

Shocked this place doesn’t have all bad reviews. Yet there’s no gluten, but the service feels like everyone’s 15 and on work experience and the food is tasteless across the board and insanely overpriced for how bad it is.

Visited here due to being gluten free, everything on the menu was GF. The owners were lovely and friendly, the food was amazing as were the cocktails!!! Ideally located for visiting the theatre. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

My favourite place in Leeds! Food is delicious and the staff are fantastic! So friendly and welcoming, can not recommend this place more!

What a beautiful place with authentic food!! The owners are wonderful, homely and welcoming and they have salsa classes too!! They made me a mocktail with fresh ingredients and it was amazing! I really recommend this lovely place to everyone after scrumptious tapas and it’s completely gluten-free!!!! I live in London but would happily come up for casa leeds! X

Great place for gluten free vegan people and anyone who likes tasty, healthy food. As a person with very sensitive stomach I felt really good after eating there. I will be back for sure!

Pleasant tapas place, enjoyable atmosphere and charismatic owner who gave us lots of laughs. Deserves of more than 5*!

The most gorgeous food and coeliac friendly, I felt so safe and got to enjoy a prolific and delicious menu. I cannot recommend these guys enough!

The food was incredible, absolutely delicious and all gluten-free so it's an absolute haven for Coeliacs. I'm not Coeliac but a lot of people in my party were and we were all thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere is relaxed, warm and friendly. The owner is very sweet and he did a fantastic job to sort out our bills for a large party. I will be eating here any time I come to Leeds! The one and only downside was that they were out of churros but I'll be back to try them as soon as I can!

Putting the word out on the streets for all Coeliacs and Latinos. Amazing selection of gluten free and vegetarian food. Cozy place too. 10/10 would recommend

We had such a wonderful evening! The man who served us was wonderful, absolutely lovely and hilarious and made the whole thing such a lovely experience. The food was incredible too, and the beautiful plants and decor were a nice touch. Will definitely be coming back.

Best cocktails in Leeds and fantastic service 👏

Visited here on a work trip to Leeds and so glad I did. Really different and delicious food plus one of the best Caprinhas ever. The staff were lovely too. Only complaint is that it's not nearer to where I live!!!

My friends & I ate here last night before seeing a show at the theatre. I had the chicken in white wine sauce and it was to die for. They are waiting for their official accreditation from coeliac, although all the food they serve is...

We cannot recommend Casa highly enough … this is the best meal we have all had in a long time - the green calamares sauce was stunning!!! Everything is cooked extremely well, so fresh, packed full of flavour … the staff were so warm, smiley, funny and kind - the chefs are AMAZING!!! Great vibe/ambiance - wow! Fabulous!!!

First of all, as someone who is gluten intolerant, this restaurant is a breath of fresh air. The whole menu is gluten free and so so tasty! Often as gluten free eaters, we are either very limited in our choices or the food can often have the texture of sand. Not here though! Every dish is so moreish, we ordered almost the full menu! Secondly, what a lovely atmosphere! All the staff here are very friendly and super accommodating, making for a lovely evening of tapas enjoyed in this beautiful little place. We will be back!

Food is good but expensive for the portion size. For example, you only get one taco. I like tacos, henceforth I would have expected more tacos. They also don't leave the water at the table and make you call for more each time.

Loved everything about this place! My daughter has coeliac disease, so everything being 100% gluten-free was fab. All our food was delicious, and service was great too. Would thoroughly recommend.

5 of us dropped into Casa last night for a work celebration and could not have been more pleased. The food and drink were excellent, but the atmosphere and the way you are hosted really make the night. Casa isn't just a meal, its an...

Some of the most delicious food I've ever had in my entire life, I ordered Peruvian chilli shredded beef with chunky chips and rice, it was so wonderfully spicy and flavourful I was genuinely sad when I'd finished it because I wanted to eat it again, the owner is so obviously very passionate about his craft and it shows, he gave my group an incredible dining experience, his charisma makes it worth coming for him alone, I highly recommend coming here if you ever have a chance as I certainly will be coming back. The fact that everything on the menu is gluten free makes it accessible to those with dietary restrictions too

The best food I have ever eaten, I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area, if you have any allergies they will cater to them no questions asked. The manager is one of the nicest people you could ever meet he makes your experience fantastic and I would come back solely for him. highly recommend if I could give 10 stars if I could.
