Cona Restaurant in Bradford

Absolutely beautiful! We went for Sunday lunch. The location is convenient, easy to get to and ample parking. The starters were fresh, the prawns were crispy and not overdone. I had the lamb which was incredible. The quality of meat served was absolutely beautiful and melted in my mouth. I asked it to be cooked medium rare and it was spot on. The service was fantastic and I look forward to visiting again!

Fine dining at its best . Delicious food , excellent service. Beautiful presentation. I would recommend highly . Will definitely be coming again .

Delicious food, excellent service, Fine dining at its best!! Thoroughly enjoyed my meal And will definitely be returning!

Honest review left with no malice intended...WTH are these guys charging fine dining money for when this is nothing close to fine dining? I visited with friends and we were all in agreement that the food was absolutely unspectacular. The sunday roast was bland and tasteless and the portions were stingy. The main course took 1 hours to arrive after the starters. The ambience was nice enough and the lads serving were friendly and polite. But we spent £250 and walked away bemused and still hungry ...and feeling a little conned. Never to return Im afraid..Suede up the road is 100x better and I have no affilation to Suede.

The entire experience was fantastic. The food was exquisite and the service was first class. We had Ali look after us in the restaurant and also from before, by letting us know about the road closures around the area. The service they provided was above and beyond. The food was some of the or if not the best food I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing experience. The food was delicious, with a warm, quaint, atmosphere. All of the food was immaturely prepared. Above all the service was wonderful. The team provided that warm, personal attention that is rare to come by… nothing was too much…they catered to our young family wonderfully.

Perfect in every way. Thank you

Great food always. Great service always. A wonderful treat every time. Well looked after. The crispy duck was excellent. Veal so soft and buttery and the steaks are perfect every time. You cannot go wrong with this place. Joyous meal every time.

We had a fantastic meal last night. It is my favourite restaurant in the North, an outstanding selection of steak and extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff that makes you want to come back. The atmosphere and the restaurant in itself is warm, welcoming with a tasteful decoration that can’t be found anywhere else. I appreciated the dry flowers arrangement. I usually go for the surf and turf or wagyu steaks, miso lamb chops, chocolate fondant but last night we decided to finally try the Mid-Week special. It is a short set menu selection at an affordable price that changes every week and is only available on Wednesday and Thursday. We had the lamb pie, the dry aged steak, truffle mac and cheese side, mushroom side, strawberries mojito and cola. The lamb pie was flavourful with a great kick, it is the perfect dish to start autumn season. They will cut and serve it for you in front of you. It is enough for 2. The steak was perfect too. All of the sides were delicious. I finally found a cheesecake with its compote and ice cream that tasted like a real traditional cheesecake and not a frozen one. The restaurant seems to be wheelchairs accessible and there are plenty of parking on the side street. Thank you again to our two servers that were patient, generous and helpful with us and our son. They are a great reflection of what a high class restaurant should look like. We will come back soon. 😊

I went in with a few friends today absolutely amazing! The service and quality of food is out of this world. Everything was made to perfection can’t recommend this place enough!

I've visited cona now on 4 occasions for Sunday roast each time we have travelled 1 hour to eat there as it's the best.... it has been consistantly perfect each time from the ambience to the service and the food is favtastic For our starters we had the sharer buratta with pesto heritage tomatoes and garlic bread and we couldnt help ourselves so also had the chicken thigh in butter sauce it was absolutely delicious and well presented ..... followed by the lamb and beef roasts both cooked to perfection lovely crisp roast potatoes and 100% some of the best yorkies I've ever eaten I need to know they're secret!!! With a side of truffle mac and cheese of course .... Then to finish we shared the strawberry Bakewell tart and the peanut butter cornflake cake served with clotted cream and custard Highly recommend ... can't wait to go back

We went to Cona for my husbands 40th , after wanting to try it for years, we booked a table for Sunday and they called to check if we are still coming and we confirmed. We arrived in time and had to wait 25 minutes for the table which wasn't what we expected especially as everyone else was take to their table before us The food was nice, we had the burrata for starters the garlic bread was very crispy on the edge when we fed that back to the waiter, his response was oh, for mains we had lamb and the beef, this was cooked to perfection, the beef melted in the mouth. For desserts we had fondant and the strawberry tart which was delicious and freshly made, the fondant felt sickly and a bit too rich for our liking, I had heard a lot about the fondant but must admit was disappointed. The mojitos are basic and have had better drinks in other fine dining restaurants We had to pay the 10% service charge which we were going to refuse as the service waiting for the table was no expected especially when you are booking to eat at high priced restaurant, we had read the reviews about people refusing to pay the service charge so left it as we did not want to cause a scene Worth a try but would not say its worth the hype, the atmosphere could be better with better music rather than feeling like your in a night club

The starters and mains wasn’t too bad. It started to go down when we tried to order dessert. First we was told one of the dessert was not ready but strange if you have already started service but never the less we ordered the cheesecake and we found a hair on it and was asked by the waiter if it was from my coat?

Only two days ago, we enjoyed a beautiful meal in one of the most upmarket hotels in all of Germany, (the G8 summit was held there & all the world leaders ate in the same restaurant albeit at a different time) although the meal was great, Cona takes eating out to another level, not only with the atmosphere & the service but the food is exceptional - extraordinarily exceptional! I can without doubt say that Cona is brilliant in every aspect, from service, management, environment, atmosphere to the cuisine, a super thumbs up from moi…! .

I visited Cona for my wedding anniversary and the experience exceeded expectations! Food was absolutely delicious and the service was incredible, could not fault a thing. The waiters would come round often to see if we were happy with the food and really made the experience surreal, they even kindly provided a card and ice cream on the house once they found out what occasion we had come for, I would definitely highly recommend Cona to anyone who is considering visiting.

Prestige, pristine and served to perfection dining! Cona is most definitely up there with the best when it comes to steaks and Japanese A5 Wagyu cuts. You can definitely tell their steaks are carefully sourced and is second to none. I have no complaints whatsoever about the mains. The starters were also very nice and I’d most definitely recommend the bao buns, okra fries and lamp chops. To top it off, staff are very friendly and the service is to a very high standard. Will definitely be visiting again.

Arrived late and Armi the owner was very understanding and a very kind person. Second time I’ve been and I will still stand by it being the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. The quality of the food definitely justifies the price!

One of the best restaurant I have ever been. My husband took me in our wedding week and I enjoyed everything. The food was insane, the service was absolutely amazing, everything was top tier. The dessert was beautiful , and cannot wait to go again! The staff made sure we enjoyed our meal and a must try!

I have been going Cona for the last 5-6 years and it has never failed to impress me. The owner goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience. A few weeks ago I had my last meal there before I moved out the country and Armi prepared us a special off the menu steak with sides. Lovely vibe, great staff and amazing food!

Visited with my sister, everything was amazing! We loved the short rib bao buns and Australian sirloin, as well as the tender stem brocoli. Staff were very welcoming and friendly, especially Ali as he looked after us throughout our dinner and made sure everything was ok, paying attention to the small details which was lovely. He also remembered that we came for a special celebration and gave us a cute surprise at the end. Kez made us some quality mocktails- I would recommend the strawberry mojito. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Lovely food and amazing service—so worth it! It's so important that with good food comes great service, and it was truly brilliant here. A big shoutout to Ali and the guy who severed us sorry, I didn’t catch his name he was new but did an excellent job, especially considering he’s only been working a few weeks. The starters were amazing, as always. We tried the tacos for a change instead of our usual bao buns ribs, and they were delicious. The truffle tagliatelle was lovely, and the beef wellington was truly the star of the show. The dessert was delectable, a perfect way to end the meal. All in all, an amazing experience from start to finish and the service was excellent can’t empathise it enough!

Went down for the Sunday roast set menu. Was called by Ali prior to the booking to confirm the reservation and it was him who welcomed us when we arrived and took us to our table. Overall very good service, both from Ali and the other waiters go served us. Tried the mojito options, fairly priced and did not disappoint. The Sunday roast set menu is overall good value for money balancing high quality flavourful food with a reasonable price. I’d perhaps pay a small supplement to have a larger portion of steak for the main course but that’s just me. Will be back again to try the a la carte menu. We were there to for state our anniversary, which the waiter who served our dessert offered us his well wishes for and gave the other half a “happy anniversary” card. Top marks all round. Between us we got the wagyu quessabirias, corn fed chicken starter, dry aged fillet beef with the Sunday lunch main trimmings, pistachio Bakewell and vanilla cheesecake.

I mean. What a gem! An incredible addition to Bradford, we came for a Sunday roast which was delicious. Would recommend the lamb which is cooked to absolute perfection and melts in your mouth. Beautifully prepared and presented and the staff are both attentive and helpful!

Amazing quality food, definitely recommend the 3 Course Menu (Strictly Sundays). Will surely be going there again in the near future 10/10

Went a while ago and unfortunately it's over priced and over hyped. The dress code was supposed to be smart but the table next to us were wearing shorts. I wouldnt have minded but it meant I wore heels when I could have worn trainers. Our waitress tried to push us towards the high end steak option which was very obvious. I ended up getting the wagyu steak but the cheaper one and it was nothing to write home about. It did not come with a sauce. My friend got the chicken which was bland and the portion extremely small. The single large Yorkshire pudding instead covered half the plate. When it came to desserts the first 2 we wanted they had run out of so had to order the 3rd option. Unfortunately the price does not justify the quality of the food. Went once as been wanting to go but wont be going again.

Brilliant food brilliant service cannot recommend enough. Absolutely beautiful starters and steak that melts in your mouth.

Amazing experience as always, easy to book with a phone call before hand. The food recommendations by our waiter, Ali, were spot on, alongside impeccable service. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Thank you for making our occasion truly special. We visited this evening, and from the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The food was nothing short of lovely; we were particularly delighted by the refreshing mocktails that set the tone for the evening. As we savored each course, the wagyu steak and lamb chops stood out as highlights, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. A special mention must go to the thoughtful gesture from Ali and the team, who arranged a complimentary dish for my better half, as well as an anniversary card with complimentary gelato. It was a delightful surprise that added a personal touch to our celebration and showcased their commitment to exceptional service. Every aspect of our experience exceeded our expectations, We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Thank you once again, Ali and the entire team, for an unforgettable evening!

Fantastic Experience. The steak, it was a true masterpiece. Cooked to perfection, each bite was tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The quality of the meat was exceptional, and you could truly taste the craftsmanship that went into preparing it. The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the evening. They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. Highly recommended!

Leaving this review on behalf the food and staff was amazing cooked and served to a high standard of service staff and food was just to perfection would definitely recommend and will be back

Another visit Another brilliant food experience Hands down THE BEST restaurant in the UK Locally sourced ingredients as well as meat imported from across the world with the finest grades of meat cooked to perfection! The ever changing menu never dissappoints Thanks for another five star experience

Food is nice. Good presentation. Very pricey. The mocktails were a bit watery. Slow service but worth the wait.

Food was lovely but mocktails are a huge letdown. Hardly any flavour & very watered down. Told this to staff who said come again next time maybe we can improve but I doubt it. Usually restaurants knock this off the bill. Ordered 3 mocktails in total and different flavours and they really lacked in taste. Tasted like watered down lemonade.

The food was amazing, as expected, and the waiters explained the menu clearly. The service was equally impressive, with thoughtful details like wiping down tables after each course. The staff were very respectful and made diners feel comfortable. A lovely touch was the anniversary card that came with the dessert.

Travelled all the way from Birmingham and definitely worth it! The food was amazing, the service was incredible. The restaurant is small which makes the atmosphere nice along with the aesthetics. Highly recommend, delicious tasty quality food!

Probably the best meal I've had.

Went to cona after a friends recommendation, the food was nice cooked perfect i would give it a strong 8 out of 10, the place itself is quite dull and small, the price for the food was way to high for 2 people I paid £245 for 2 steaks with chips and a separate mac n cheese and 2 drinks I can't justify why their pricing is so high I'd understand if the place was elegant but it wasn't. Would I go again maybe not because of the price.

Brilliant. The Japanese A1 Wagyu Ribeye and the Surf and Turf were incredible. Service was amazing.

Mashallah the food was bang on! The service from the lads couldn’t fault the. Big thank you to adnan who looked after my party of guests, would highly recommend to come here. Pricy but well worth the £.

Booked lunch for 6 of us and had the best experience and the best customer service. Eveeything was lovely and they went out of their way for extra touches as they knew why we had made the trip here. Everything was amazing from the food to the service.

Danger ! No alcohol is offered! We stayed anyway and the quality of the food was excellent. The service even made us forget about the loud music and the fan that was way too loud. We would come back, but we will never travel to Bradford again.

I am gluten and dairy free and the staff were so so lovely about it. Food was amazing as always. Can’t complain at all.

Probably the best halal dining experience in the uk. The owner is a true gentleman. The story behind the concept and execution of each and every dish resonates with a lot of us British born Muslims. I throughly enjoyed it. Must try for all foodies

The last time I came to Cona was 3 years ago, thankfully the experience was a great deal better this time so I doubt I will wait so long again. The staff were very warm and knowledgeable about the food and the manager was very helpful with our order. Good food although we only had the Sunday sampler which was nice... looking forward to times to come

Wow, just amazing, the waiters, the atmosphere and the food. I will definitely be coming back for the pistachio Bakewell. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Went for the first time today and Alhamdulillah everything was beautiful. Went as we group and tried the Sunday Roast. We got 3 courses with a mixture of the tempura prawns, chicken tikka, truffle tagliatelle, lamb chops and prime rib bao buns for starters. For the mains we got the roast dinners in all 3 options of dry aged beef, lamb and chicken. Each option was amazing in its own way. Everything was absolutely beautiful and the taste was 10/10. The service was amazing- fast and friendly. We enjoyed every minute of today’s Lunch and will definitely be going again inshallah.

Food - Cona is styled as a fine dining restaurant and the food matches the idea. Very high end and quality ingredients with a modern yet classic style. I had to try the world renowned Wagyu beef steak which honestly tasted like soft butter. Melt in the mouth and juicy pieces of Wagyu. I also tried the Lamb chops which were up there with some of the best chops ive ever had. Service - Good service, as expected for a restaurant at this standard. Nothing above and beyond expectations but still good. Price - Be ready to pay high end prices but this is expected with the quality of the food. This place is a one of for most people, more like a treat unless you have deep pockets. Overall 4/5 - Portion size is the only reason i gave it a 4/5 rather than a 5/5. I understand fine dining is normally more refined however for the prices and being in Bradford, i hoped for bigger portions.

My friend and I came for a Sunday Roast today and it exceeded our expectations. The food and especially the service was incredible. We ordered to chicken gnocchi and prawn tempura to start with the lamb roast and beef roast for mains. And we ended with a pistachio bakewell tart and chocolate fondant. We have no complaints about the food, the meats were cooked to perfection and especially the beef fell apart in the most perfect way. I would definitely be returning inshaAllah. may Allah سبحانه وتعالى reward all the staff and may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless more barakah into this business🤍

Excellent food. Excellent service. Very attentive staff. Made something off menu for my 5 year old also. Great experience.

Came for iftar, food was delicious and service was great

Cona Restaurant: A Sunday Roast Delight My second visit to Cona Restaurant proved to be just as delightful as the first. This time, I indulged in their Sunday Roast, and it was a culinary masterpiece. The presentation was beautiful, and the taste was even better. From the succulent meats to the perfectly roasted vegetables, every element of the Sunday Roast exceeded my expectations. The options available were plentiful, allowing for a personalised dining experience tailored to my preferences. What truly sets Cona apart is its impeccable service. From the moment I made my booking on OpenTable, the staff ensured a seamless and enjoyable dining experience. Attentive yet unobtrusive, the service was a testament to the professionalism and dedication of the team. I highly recommend Cona Restaurant to anyone seeking a top-notch dining experience. Whether it’s for a special occasion or a casual meal, Cona consistently delivers outstanding food quality, a diverse menu, and exceptional service.

Hands down the best halal steakhouse or restaurant in the UK. Armi is a credit to the halal food industry, the culinary experience at Cona is exceptional. You will not find halal fine dining at this level anywhere else in the north, or maybe even in the UK! Special mention to Oakley, brilliant customer service.

Amazing service as per usual the best steak house in the North of England without a doubt. Was welcomed by the Director himself ami, his staff from Ali,Oakley,yaseen and all the members at cona was very humble and polite and served us well thanks

Genuinely the greatest steak experience i have ever had. Hands down the best steak in bradford, yorkshire & potentially the entire UK. Real wagyu, the highest quality meat.. you can see the attention to detail in every dish & the service is impeccable. Not only is it a place to eat but its an entire experience. The best restaurant i have ever been to 👏

Quality of the food was excellent. Pleasant and professional service.

The roast dinner was the best one that i’ve ever had in bradford. Ali and Oakley we’re our servers, and they were both amazing and made sure everything was perfect for us. Thank you so much!

Served by Ash. Absolute star. Was very quick with service and helped us with understanding the restaurants best sellers. Food was genuinely delicious. If I could give it a Michelin star, i would!

Nice steaks, but portion sizes for the steaks to share for “2” are very underwhelming. We left hungry after spending £250+, 2 steaks, one to share and a separate steak as well as starters and 3 sides. I understand it’s a fine dining place, but to advertise portion sizes for 2 when it would just about feed one person is rather disappointing.

So glad this place exists… No I mean that seriously…from someone who adores his steak and probably makes it every other week. Cona seriously deserves it's recognition. Location/Decor: - Honestly I love how simple and noir-esk the location is, literally gives the correct vibes of being luxury the moment you walk in - The staff were honestly brilliant considering I came on a Wednesday night and had issues with traffic coming from manchester, they were accomdating my late arrival - The manager gave enough advice on food choices if we were unsure which is helpful - Seeing the dry age fridge ...if you like steak then it's a treat to see one lol - Tables were as they should be, every dish the staff would come and clean the table ensuring we had everything we needed Food - If you like steak...defo spend a lil to try something different - I had the 70 day dry age steak and can honestly say the cook was perfect medium rare, buttery and tender - The peppercorn sauce had a nice hint of spice with the bone marrow - Sticky toffee pudding is 100% a must - I was given a choice to choose my own knife...never had that experience and I'm not complaining - Really can't complain about the food, seriously top notch - Two starters - one main - side - dessert is plenty of food I do and can appriecate this may be on the "higher" spending side for steak for some..but honestly if you are a gueine lover of steak...you can't go wrong. They've nailed a lot of things in this place. Yes it's expensive but the service and food that's provided, I don't fault it. A basic steak...yeah I'd rather make that at home...but dry age is a lot harder to acquire and these lot really have nailed the art of fine service.

Finally visited after hearing years of so much hype, and glad to say it lived up to our expectations. Visited with my wife and two daughters after a hiking trip in the Yorkshire Dales. My wife enjoyed the Sunday Roast. I ordered 3 desserts two satisfy my sweet tooth. Loved the Bakwewell Tart with Pistachio ice cream. Got chatting to the very kind owner who also treated us to another dessert off the menu, rounding off a great afternoon. Definitely coming back to try more!

Food was lovely. Best steak in UK and the service from Ali and Oakley was 10/10. Looked aftered us from the beginning to the end

Really love Cona. The food, atmosphere, service are all exceptional.

The service of the staff and the friendly nature at Cona, especially Ali, is what makes this restaurant thrive. The experience was very personable and although you expect the service to be top tier for the price point, the staff go above and beyond. The chops for starters were the most succulent chops I’ve had and the Japanese Wagyu steak they served was divine. Highly recommend this restaurant if you can afford to pay upwards of £100pp.

The nicest food & best service. Ali was super attentive and ensured we had the best time possible. Would 10/10 recommend!!

Amazing food, amazing service and a gorgeous restaurant. Came for my birthday meal and it was a 10/10 experience. Will definitely be visiting again!

Dined here this Sunday for my sisters birthday. Had the best evening! Food delicious as always! Outstanding service! Special Thanks to Ali and the rest of the staff going above and beyond for us.

Amazing food, steak is easily the finest quality meat I have had in the UK. Japanese wagyu was cooked perfectly full of flavour accompanied with well made sides. Very nice decor and a busy place on the weekend. Unfortunately, the service wasn’t the best, we booked for 7:45 pm and were seated 15 minutes later. I was expecting the waiter to offer complimentary drinks at the bar at minimum or knock off the service charge. On top of this the steak arrived at the table, with the chips and other sides arriving 5 minutes later. I would expect all my food to arrive at the table at once considering this is a fine dining experience. Overall, brilliant food but I would suggest for future that the above is considered by management to complete the fine dining experience.

Top tier restraints for steak, low-key location and steaks are quality.

Food was great, great customer service especially by Ali - he was very warm & welcoming, made us feel super comfortable & checked in on us many times to make sure we are okay & that we are happy with the food & everything else.

Food was amazing, atmosphere was stunning and staff were super attentive! Highly recommend!

The best fine dining spot ever! The quality of the food is unmatched. The wagyu steak is amaaaazing! The service was also so good, we were greeted by the owner who always goes out his way to speak to everyone and we were served by Rumel who went above and beyond, a great asset to Cona. Highly recommend Cona to everyone.

Amazing place, amazing service and amazing food! Lovely atmosphere, staff were very helpful, worth every penny!😍

Atmosphere is nice, feels like you are entering a different world all together. Portions are ridiculously small!! I understand fine dining but theres no need to go over board! And they have a 10% service charge but with the service they provide they should have a 10% discount! Not attentive not professional and very slow in the kitchen. Would not return die to portion sizes and service. Food did taste quite good though.

We visited cona for their Sunday roast. On attending the restaurant was very busy, we had to wait 30 mins for our table, (we had booked it in advance), and was not informed of this on arrival. The waiter also mentioned on taking our order that desserts can be chosen after main course had been eaten. However when the time came majority of desserts had been sold out. Starters and mains were up to standard. Overall, quite poor service for a restaurant you would expect better from.

This place is 5 stars all the way. Everything i had from the starters right up to the desserts was just next level! If you are into your steaks and want halal steak this is the best place in the north of England by far, and one of my top 5 in the UK. Attention to detail, quality food and excellent service.

My favourite dining place in the UK by far, unmatched for years. Every dish perfectly balanced with flavour and the meat is always the best cut and tender. Yes it might be a little expensive but if you want rich flavours then it costs. Enjoy!

Cona Restaurant is an exquisite haven for beef connoisseurs! From succulent steaks to mouthwatering specialties, their menu is a celebration of high-quality flavors. The culinary experience surpassed expectations—the dishes were incredibly tasty. What truly elevated our visit was the exceptional service. The staff, particularly the owner, exuded professionalism and genuine hospitality. Celebrating my wife's birthday here was made unforgettable by the amazing service we received. Cona Restaurant isn't just about remarkable food; it's a place where warmth and expertise blend seamlessly, creating an unforgettable dining experience.

Prior to arrival we received numerous phone calls to confirm we will be attending and dietary requirements and any specific details regarding the occasion we were attending for which was fine. On arrival our table wasn't ready and we waited over 10mins to be seated. When ordering they didn't have 1 of the starters as they ran out at 4pm. Then they ran out of drinks. Our drinks arrived the same time as our food as they said no one wrote the drinks order down. We asked for our child's food to arrive with the starters but came with our mains instead. Our mains were cold but as we were starving at this point we just ate..we asked for our meat to be cooked medium-well but it was rare. When ordering desserts they ran out of 3 out of 4 desserts but didn't bother to tell us just gave us what they had. I requested for them to write a message on the dessert plate for our occasion which was confirmed in the morning, they took the spellings too but none of that we saw. The staff were polite but were taking the trash out to empty right where we were eating which was very off-putting. I decided to use the ladies facilities when I came back my drink was taken and the bill was already given to my partner. As a good will gesture they didn't charge us for my daughters spaghetti which I thought wasn't good enough as I expected more given everything I've mentioned above. I would not recommend visiting this place especially if you're travelling an hour or more to get there.

Came here today for my husbands birthday and although I'm not much of a steak place, I have to say it's one of the best steaks I've ever had. My husband got the Japanese wagyu and we were amazed at how soft it was. We were served by Ewan and his service was great, he answered all our questions and was sure to make us feel well taken care of. 10/10 and can't wait to come again!

I attended on Sunday 26 November 2023 fir Sunday lunch and took one 2 of my older family members.The Sunday lunch which consisted if roast beef, yorkshie pudding, potatoes, gravy etc was excellent and cooked to perfection. The prawn starter was just amazing and so was the deserts.i am from South Africa initially so know abit various prawn dishes which are very popular there.Cona's starter prawns were definitely up there.To top it all of, the serve was very good and professional and the owner was extremely knowledgeable regarding his food.His service levels was to an extremely high standard.Well worth a visit and definitely one of the best restaurants in west yorkshire.

THE BEST HALAL WAGYU STEAKHOUSE IN THE COUNTRY!! The food and service were faultless Innovative & classic food pairings Delivered all expectations we drove from London the restaurant arranged stay Grantley Hall, tea at Bettys and a walk around Malham Memorable weekend all thanks to the fab team at cona! Bfd should be very proud having a ground breaking restaurant in their community something London is missing

Great tasting steak. Excellent service. Pricey but you get what you pay for, a premium wagyu melt in the mouth steak.

CONA CONA. What can i say. Its lovely with the significant other. The ambience the decor the owner the staff. All were immaculate. The food may look small but as a guy from a takeaway centric person it was a slight shock but it more than makes up for itself in flavour and depth. The owner really knows his stuff and i could probably talk to him all day. Seriously though. 9/10 would recommend and would ask couples or even families to come down ro this fine establishment.

Excellent location and worth the visit.

It seems after reading some of the reviews that the theme is the same - staff have no sense of customer service. They are rude, aggressive, and pig headed. This possibly comes from the fact that they are usually fully booked, however it is a small restaurant, not hard to get booked up. Been here a few times, all of which times food has been great but service and staff not. Not really reviewed as the meal balances out the rudeness of staff. But this visit, staff were extremely rude, whatever happened to the customer is always right and doing whatever to make the customer happy? Seems like gone are those days! It’s okay to give a table late and informing when outside! (even after booking well in advance), it’s not possible for them to accommodate an extra person even when the restaurant is empty (which they later did anyway), and the main show of the place - the steak - was cold. Starters were perfect but that in itself isn’t enough for the travel and the bill. Unimpressed and would not bother travelling here again. No steak is worth having staff talk to you like crap and then eating cold food and paying hundreds at the end of such terrible service. NB: owner was not present today. Need to do better!

Sitting here at Cona restaurant, all the hype seemed promising – the decor, the ambiance – but the reality has been nothing but disappointing. Making the journey from London, I didn't anticipate such letdowns. First, they denied us the chance to order two starters, even though they were meant for sharing between two, and there were four of us. Then, dessert time came, and I wanted to savor a bit more, only to be told it's a no-go. And to top it off, the dessert we did get was burnt. We were prepared to spend generously tonight, but not being able to have a second dessert after trying my wife's, along with the burnt dessert, was the final straw. It's safe to say we won't be returning here again.

It’s a special place to go and eat. The flavour of the food was awesome. It’s one of those less is more type of places- you don’t get a lot of food for the money however it’s not one of those places. Very much fine dining. Only small gripe is it’s a dark atmosphere inside and the music was a bit too loud.

The best halal steaks in the north of England. I generally do not find halal steaks of this quality anywhere outside of London or the Middle East.

Amazing tasty steak! Seriously it is! Arriving off the main road you can almost miss the restaurant but make sure you don’t. Insides it’s typical of fine dining steak restaurant with a wide range of steaks and origins. Went for the aged filet which was tasty with depth of flavour. Throughly recommend the momos as a starter which is a great sharing portion despite being for one.

Amazing food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Would recommend for quality dining.

Amazing food service great however prices little expensive. Nonetheless will be back again on a special occasion.

I visited Cona this weekend for my birthday meal and all I can say is “it has left a very bad taste in my mouth”. I feel the owner was passive aggressive and did not fulfil his duties of customer service. I will not be going again. For the starters, I ordered the lamb chops and prawn tempura which were both nice - nothing to write home about. When I ordered my steak I was very clear in what I wanted reason being, I ordered what my friend had specifically recommended to me (I even doubled checked my messages before ordering to make sure it was the right one). The owner then confirmed this was the best cut of meat and I wouldn’t be disappointed whilst going on and on about other things also. He then went on to recommend what he thought would go well with the steak. I already knew what I wanted as like I’ve said I had been recommended what to get by my friend. However, I let him carry on. My main course was TINY and when I say tiny I mean it. Literally not enough for a small child never mind an adult. The owner came over and served us I.e put everything on our plates for us which was a nice touch. However, the food wasn’t amazing and certainly wasn’t the best steak I’ve ever had. It was thinly cut - paper thin to be precise meaning we could hardly taste it. The main issue was when the bill came!!! My husband and I had been charged ( almost double) for a steak that we DID NOT order. When I queried this with the owner he made me feel as if it was my mistake but I know it wasn’t based on everything I’ve stated above. He said I had just eaten the finest cut of meat and that “I thoroughly enjoyed it” making me feel like an idiot for even querying it. I explained that I didn’t order that one as I’d ordered something my friend recommended. He went on to say that he didn’t mind reducing it but that I HAD just eaten the finest cut of meat and I’d enjoyed it again making me feel like I had to pay for it. He asked me what I wanted to do in front of the whole restaurant there were other tables watching which again made me feel like I had to pay. There are numerous things wrong with this. 1) he shouldn’t have ASKED me if I wanted it reducing he should have apologised for the mistake and at least met me half way but this wasn’t mentioned. 2) he kept stating I had eaten a very expensive piece of meat and therefore basically needed to pay. There was nothing offered complimentary or anything to fix the issue. So I ended up paying nearly £450 for a tiny steak that I didn’t even order. The one I ordered was 10oz and this was 6oz!!!! I have no issues with paying a premium price for amazing food. I have dined in lots of Michelin star restaurants and spent good money on food, both in London and around the world. The service in these restaurants has been impeccable. I have never had to complain but I can rest assured if anything like this happened it wouldn’t have been dealt with like this. I called the owner passive aggressive because that’s what he was! Recommending a half hearted solution but throwing in that I had eaten the food. Had this not been my home town and my Bday meal I would have definitely contested this however I was made to feel very small and it ruined my experience. I will not be visiting this place again nor will I recommend it to anyone. I will voice my opinions to anyone who asks me how it was. I am a huge advocate for customer service it can turn things around but sadly in this instance it has ruined my experience and I will not be returning. I was planning my mums 60th bday party and was thinking of asking for the entire restaurant for our family depending on how I found it this weekend. That certainly won’t be happening and for the sake of a couple of hundred pounds this place has lost out on a lot more. Disappointed to say the least. Wish I’d read the reviews beforehand as seems this has happened to people before and had I known I wouldn’t have let them do it to yet another person.

I visited Cona this weekend for my birthday meal and all I can say is “it has left a very bad taste in my mouth”. I feel the owner was passive aggressive and did not fulfil his duties of customer service. I will not be going again.

This review presents a mixed perspective of our experience. I am aiming to be fair and courteous in my review of this place. Upon entering the premises, the initial impression was of a dimly lit and somewhat somber atmosphere, along with limited space and humidity. Although it may have been intended to create a cozy and intimate ambiance, it did not personally resonate with me. Moreover, the loud music resembled that of a nightclub, which was unexpected. There was a single restroom available for both genders, which was functional. However, it did not appear to be regularly cleaned, which could benefit from improvement. The seating arrangements were satisfactory and comfortable, although the proximity to other patrons was a bit too close for my liking. When it comes to the menu, it was quite limited in terms of options. Additionally, the average price per person was a minimum of £100, and that did not include desserts or mocktails. The owner displayed amicable behaviour, yet there was a noticeable push towards purchasing the top-tier steak. Undoubtedly, he possessed strong salesmanship skills. Although the food was enjoyable, it did not surpass expectations or leave a lasting impression. While I understand that Wagyu beef is costly, the overall experience did not align with the expected sophistication of the establishment. The most disappointing aspect of the evening was the extensive wait times between being served our starters and mains. The delay amounted to nearly 90 minutes, which is quite unacceptable. The establishment should certainly work on reducing the time gap between these courses for an improved customer experience. Unfortunately, when it comes to customer service, in comparison to other steakhouses like Etci Mehmet and Ribeye, this establishment fell short. The staff seemed to avoid making eye contact and their manner of communication and service lacked professionalism. Upon receiving the bill, I requested the removal of the discretionary 10% service charge. In response, the server questioned if everything else was satisfactory. I reiterated my dissatisfaction with the waiting period. When he returned with the revised bill, he commented, "I'm not getting funny, but this is the time it takes for food of this quality." Such a remark was unnecessary and unprofessional, particularly as the decision to include the optional service charge should be left to the patron's discretion. Based on my experience, I do not intend to return to this establishment, nor would I recommend it to others, as there are several superior steakhouses available. Considering the overall experience, I rate it three out of five stars, primarily due to the satisfactory quality of the food, but with a strong endorsement for improvement in all other areas.

***RECOMMENDED*** 7/10 Visited this to try the A5 Wagyu steak. A5 is pretty hard to get wrong, so that was very nice and delicious. Moving on to the Australian wagyu flavour was lovely. I actually kind of liked this more than the A5. Sides were mediocre, to be honest. Overall, it was a good experience, but a one-off. The lamb chops were cooked very well, and the mac n cheese was mediocre and lacked flavour. So, 3.5 (Google does not allow half a star) stars for the steaks. The rest was ok. Service was good. The dude had some knowledge of the meat, but when it came to the sauces, they did not taste like they were made in-house rather shop bough, not a problem with that but we were told they were made in-house. Maybe the flavour was exactly like the shop sauces. Over all good experience 👌 ☺️

Great, but limited selection. There are enough choices to find something you will enjoy. We had starters which were good, roasties were a bit strange. Had a steak cooked to perfection with delicious sides. Deserts were the highlight. No alcohol but no problem. Service was fantastic so don’t let other reviews keep you away.

Edit: 5 years on and these guys have set levels of halal fine dining. Nothing has come close to the impeccable service they offer and the dishes they've put together are phenomenal. Absolutely class. Showed us so much love for our special occasion too. To all the team, your hard efforts are appreciated and you make me one happy foodie when I dine here. Wow. First time here tried almost all the starters and they were delicous. I had the Wagyu Rib Eye family had steaks chicken and fish option. All went down well. Really good quality food and service was 5*. Price matches the quality of food and the options change regularly so always something different to try.

Arrogant and pretentious owners.

Excellent service and delicious food!

I have to say, I am very disappointed, and realise the reviews online and on TikTok are totally off the mark. We visited for the Sunday roast. Starters were truffle pasta and tempura prawns. Dessert was sticky toffee and the fondant. I would describe the experience as someone’s first attempt at trying to make “fancy food”. The flavour profile for all of the savoury dishes were overpowering and lacked any depth or variety. It was like: pick any two of the “oddest” flavours in cuisine and turn that up by 10. This meant pallet fatigue and honestly I was close to gagging. The fondant did not taste too dissimilar to my own cake-in-mug (made in the microwave). Why 2 stars? Presentation of the food, that’s all.
