Costa Coffee in Leeds

Perfect meal out with a friend, warm welcome followed lovely service and food

Visited with my friend today for lunch. It's the first time I've been on a long time as the food used to be so terrible on the odd occasion I did visit, so I just stopped. Our waitress (Italian lady) was incredible. So friendly and polite, nothing too much trouble for her. For starter, we shared the chicken liver pate and I'm glad we did as it was a big portion. It was delicious. So tasty. For main, I had the hunters chicken schnitzel with chunky chips. It was perfectly fine. I would have preferred just cheese and not the cheesy sauce on top but it was nice. Salad (lots of the same green/browning leaf) was a bit sad looking and not very fresh. Pudding was the honey comb dome. I didn't like this that much. That's my taste, there was nothing wrong with it. Too much going on maybe. Honeycomb, chocolate, ice cream, honey, a ton of dry biscuits, sauce! I think it could have been simplified. The honey overtook most flavour. The whole place needs a refurb. Seats were torn, the carpet is handing off the step to the toilet and there was a strong smell of stale urine in the ladies. Plus a dead spider on the shelf near the basins. It looked to have been there a long time. Id visit again as the service was great and the food was nice. The prices they're charging.......they could sort a refurb.

Good service. Clean and spacious room with everything I need. I really loved my stay. Could study from the room and rest for the next day

Got a takeaway that included mushroom pilau rice and a meat madras curry. The rice was very oily and the meat madras curry was very salty. Not good.

Today,I went for breakfast and ordered Halwa Puri.First of all,the food was cold and ghee/oil whatever used in halwa, was not good and smelly. It's my 2nd visit in this restaurant because l got good food last time. So I was expecting the same taste in the food.
