DE BAGA - Chapel Allerton in Leeds

Delicious food, friendly staff, good atmosphere

Food was gorgeous but the price was way too high for the portion sizes. Service was slow and the music was so loud we couldn't hear the waiters.

Food was very nice I love the environment the staff was very cooperative 10/10 it was so busy but they gave us best service .

Took my little girl for her birthday meal. Food was beautiful and the non alcoholic mocktails were out of this world. Thanks Mino and team.

Food tasted great! Lovely service too. Only fault was that the portion sizes are too small. Indian cuisine is designed to be shared, and the curries were a bit too small to do that. Everything else was great though

Worse experience having My favourite Indian food but in the very much disturbed taste and the services were late and not good

Tip top. It was a super choice and i will Be back. Our servers were new but full of smiles and authentic concern for us to have a great experience I have an enormous client base struggle in UK to entertain my vip’s from India! This place is the solution and not least for attention to details but for authentically spiced and flavoured staples, minimal use of oil instead cooking meat with ghee to temperature not time means the chicken biryani and the mutton curry were honestly out of this world Not sure about the butterfly thing on the coconut ice cream but we will let you off! 🤣😂

Best true Indian food I've had in around 20 years must be number 1 in North Leeds.Dont let the price put you off you get what you pay for.Everything was so fresh I'm amazed

I was excited to try De Baga. I thought the environment was lovely, both inside and out with its own charm. The service was attentive and pleasant. I ordered a non alcoholic cocktail with black salt which was a mistake but I saw quite a few people drink so personal taste I guess. The starter was lovely, a fried aubergine and broccoli dish. We waited a long time for the main but my husband ordered lamb shank so I guess that is to be expected. He was happy with his dish, I however, wasn't. I ordered the Dhal Makani. It was under the main curry dishes so I thought it would be substantial. It was really just a bowl and nice flavoured curry sauce, there were very few lentils or beans in there. It just didn't feel like it was an adequate meal. The flavour was good but it lacked the body of a dhal. I always think a thali plate is wonderful if you prefer vegan food as it gives variety. Just a thought.

I bought a vegetable biriani for £10 at the Chapel Allerton festival but it was essentially rice with no vegetables.

De Baga is such a nice place to eat, I’ve been here several times now with friends for different occasions & it has never disappointed. Went here recently with a friend for her birthday & the food was amazing, we were made to feel so special, the staff checked on us throughout & made personal recommendations for dessert which was superb. It’s not often you find an establishment that ticks all the boxes in terms of delicious food, amazing staff & beautiful decor. We will be back again soon!

Really, really good food. Highly recommend. Would consider having just multiple starters they were that good!! Whole menu is great. We had a lovely meal. Enjoy

Good lively place. Decor and bar to a high standard and good service, which was reasonably attentive. Seafood samosas to start were too sweet and jammy. Seafood sizzler to follow was fine. Good but not spectacular. Both dishes would've been better for some more sauce.

Watched the euros final here. Staff were so friendly and got us great seats. The food was absolutely amazing, beautifully prepared with fantastic flavour. Probably the best curry I've had in a few years at least, can't wait to return.

Lovely people nice place and indulgent food

Sat there for 45 minutes waiting for someone to take our order. Asked twice, waitress came over to ask if we were ready, then disappeared. Ended up leaving without even being offered a drink. Incredibly disappointing and a huge waste of time. Chapel Allerton has far more attentive restaurants to offer.

Lovely atmosphere, very nice owners and very friendly & personal. The food experience is great and the prices are definitely worth it!

Visited De Baga Indian restaurant on a bank holiday weekend. The size of the restaurant is quite deceptive looking from the front. Ordered some poppadoms, was surprised these only came with a couple of pickles/chutneys. Skipped the starters and went just for mains, had NH66 mutton curry and daal Bukhara curry with coriander and onion naan. Not had mutton before, it was quite a strong, almost gamey flavour. It was a nice dish but seemed to lack complex tastes and flavours. The service at de baga was really good, all the staff were really friendly and polite. There was a karaoke night on which made for a lively atmosphere in the restaurant.

Fantastic food!We had about 7 different dishes and they were all delicious!Shame they didn’t have any okra dishes but hey , hopefully next time! Service is fast, staff is very polite and the place is clean. Highly recommended

Dined in here for the first time. Got off to a bit of a shaky start as my cocktail was spilled and it took a long time for our order to be taken. However the cocktail was absolutely stunning, got to be in my top 5 cocktails ever. I think it was the "Tabula Beach" one? Hopefully remembering right! It was sweet but not too sweet, aromatic and refreshing. For my starter I got the Baga 65 which was just okay, didn't wow me. My partner had the squid which he said was nice. For my main I ordered the Goan lamb shank. WOW! It was phenomenal, amazing flavours. Big portion. I would highly recommend ordering it with the sweet naan and / or saffron rice (I had it with a bit of both, in fact we ordered another sweet naan) I originally had it with plain rice and it was not as enjoyable as with the delicious sweet naan and saffron rice. It was so tasty. My partner had the mutton curry and said it was lovely. I personally found the mutton taste too strong, but that is just personal preference. The bartender waitress with glasses was lovely, friendly and very prompt when I wanted to order another of the delicious cocktails. Will go again some time in the future.

Usually order from here. Items were incorrect and the quality of the food was awful today. Very disappointing since usually the food is great. Maybe the chef called in sick today. Deliveroo didn't help either, no refunds

Exciting new dining outdoor/indoor space. Watch the world go by as you dine with friends/family. Vegan options especially the thali was exceptional and hope that is never removed from the lunchtime menu. A new menu has been introduced and has many options for all dietary requirements. If you've not tried it yet add it to your list of go to places in Chapel A, you won't be disappointed. All the staff from Management to front of house are very friendly, attentive and strive to make sure your dining experience is a pleasurable one. We'll done!! 10/10 😉

Very nice food Lovely seating area Must recommend definitely 👍

The *deco inside is breathtaking - very Refreshing * lovely staff * and the food was on point well done lads! I absolutely Enjoyed! It!

One of the best Indian in the area! Deffo recommend the biryani, it's so flavorful and portion is not small 👍🏻

We have ordered food from this place many times. Food used to be very good, that is why we did multiple orders. But the last 2-3 times have been a bad experience. Simple veg dishes did not have enough salt or spice, like as though nothing was added in the first place. Food sent was very cold as well, like it was just out of the fridge.

Curry was outstanding and naan was sooo smooth and buttery

Best curry I've had in years! Traditional food done modern. Outstanding food and great service.

Love this place. Service is always brilliant and the food is delicious. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place with amazing food very friendly staff in a really relaxed atmosphere,would highly recomend

This was our first time tonight at this restaurant, we were so impressed with everything. Great atmosphere and decor, the food was fabulous and the staff were all lovely. The flavours and textures of the food were so different to anything we’ve had before. We will be back! Thank you ☺️

Amazing service and even better food. I was torn between what to have but our waitress helped me and made great recommendations. I can HIGHLY recommend the tandoori broccoli.

Visited Sunday lunch time, excellent food, excellent service could not fault. Thank you

Had a lovely evening at De Baga. A special thanks to Jasmine for her fantastic service and recommending the House Curry and Makham Murgi which were perfect. Thank you!

This place is hands down the best spot of indian food in Leeds city and possibly whole UK, the service is amazing and so energetic, thank you “Anisha” for the wonderful service provided by you. the food is so sp good and fresh I absolutely love it, I've been here now four times since we first went and I absolutely love it. I'm not sure what else to say ive been to EVERY Indian restaurant in the city and tried multiple places for indian food and my god this one is my number 1 Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

We had the weekend roast. As a vegetarian it was paneer which was perfecly seasoned and cooked. The whole plate was delicious. Thisbis not a traditional roast but an asian twist which works. My suggestion would be ditch the fries and do some sort of south asian roasted potatoes instead. Also a bit more veg. Had a mocktail. A great range to pick from Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Finished with gulab jamun and icecream. Deffi be back!

This is simply the best Indian restaurant in Leeds. Always exceptional food quality and service.

Really enjoyed our evening at De Baga. Food was delicious, we will return.

A nice atmosphere, The food is one of the best ive had,the taste is unbelievable,ime sorry to say it is let down by its penny pinching going on,tiny poppadoms n pickle,sauces, the small amount of meat,in the curry is noticably low, the size of nan breads are small ,rice portions small,its as everything single item is scrutinised to the hilt to make sure you order more when for the amount charged one would think it,d be decent sized portions it is not ,i dont think the food leaves the chef without a micrometer being used its that precise ,waitress service hasnt a clue who ordered what or where, drinks are to expensive ,its a shame because it could be much better,staff on the whole are good ,decor and feel is also v good to high standard.

First Vist last night for dinner with my family. Gorgeous building with a fantastic atmosphere. Great service with a friendly smile. Because it was the weekend I had the weekend roast selecting the lamb shank. Started with tandoori Broccoli as well as poppadoms abd the popcorn. Popcorn a different level completely, truly delicious! The roast was,SPECTACULAR and huge! I am a man who lives large plates of food but this was massive anxd truly delicious Will be returning snd recommend the restaurant to everyone!

Me gusta esta comida y aquí la han preparado muy buena, he disfrutado mucho, gracias

Best raita ever with a sensational biryani.. mutton curry was rich and amazing. Lovely okra fry to start. Every dish was superb and nice service. I wasn’t a fan of thhe cheesy music covers of classic song butt my lady liked it so 5stars

Great place lovely staff food banging

Excellent hospitality and authentic taste.

Great service atmosphere and food made everyone feel welcome and well looked after for a wedding party

Charging premium prices for half portions.

Five course menu with beers by Estrella was a great experience this evening. De Baga's kitchen really does know what it's doing.

Excellent place for lunch and dinner! I’ve been coming here for quite a few times. The staff was always kind. And lovely interior. There are great variations of drinks. The clean toilet too. I will definitely come back here again.

We were looking for a fantastic place to celebrate my birthday and the reviews for De Baga looked great. Well... to say we were blown away would be putting it mildly! The effort and welcome from the staff was incredible.. I was presented with lovely flowers and a card from the restaurant and a beautiful banner was above my seating area. That's even before we got to the meal! I've been to many restaurants, including Michelin star restaurants and so I feel qualified to say the food here is absolutely top notch also. Not just tasty, but artistic presentation matching the impeccable service. Seriously .. if you are looking for somewhere special, where you can dine and be treated like Royalty.. look no further! Thank you De Baga for an amazing meal and an unforgettable birthday. We will see you again soon!!

Attended a Diwali party last night. Was sceptical about going but by the end of the night, I didn't want to leave. The ambiance, over and above service, excellent food and entertainment finished off with a superb fireworks display. The staff worked hard to ensure the customers enjoyed the experience. I must recommend the cocktails on offer and would definitely recommend eithe the Goa or Indian Breeze. Deliciously indulgent! I'm looking forward to returning to De Bags very soon. Well done guys. You have a winning recipe. Keep it up 🙂

Very nice Goan restaurant, very well present plates and the food is brilliant. Service from very friendly staff is excellent. Huge range of cocktails and they are very nice

It looks small from the outside, but like the TARDIS it is big on the inside. Good selection of meat, fish and vegetable mains. Melt in your mouth food. Excellent service.

We absolutely love it here, we always get very well looked after, food is always amazing, staff are so friendly and make you feel very welcomed, they always make special occasions very special, so thankyou guys

Absolutely gorgeous resturant calm atmosphere really beautiful inside and clean, we had a fantastic anniversary meal here staff were so pleasant manager look stressed but the food was outstanding the chicken was one of the best curries ive had in years! Everything was tasty and fresh so I cant really fault it! Will be back again soon!

We visited for lunch on a Saturday. The food is exceptional. I would recommend to anyone wanting to explore Indian/Goan cuisine. The staff are always happy to recommend dishes, which was great because I got to try some Portuguese king prawns.

Literally the best fusion Indian cuisine I’ve ever had to date. Excellent unique food, big portions, lots of choice, beautifully cooked and spiced and presentation top notch. Super friendly service too and really nice place in general with great atmosphere. Lovely cocktails! Will definitely be going back.

Booked this restaurant for my husband's birthday, and what a beautiful place, the staff were amazing especially Ayah(I think that was her name)small lady with glasses, the food was absolutely delicious 😋 and they explained everything too us, we will definitely be going again

Excellent setting and service. Excellently cooked food, lovely flavours and some choices you wouldn’t find in a lot of curry houses. Nice beer as well.

Amazing Indian restaurant. Been here quite a few times, and the food is always excellent. In my opinion it is better than Dishoom. Great range of soft drinks, cocktails, starters and mains. The fried sticky chicken starter, and mutton curry are delicious. Excellent friendly service, and good value for money. There are cheaper places to get a curry, but like everything, you get what you pay for. Special mention to Anisha for always taking good care of us.

Fantastic food and wonderful staff who are real experts about the food on offer. Would highly recommend: great modern Indian cuisine, reasonably priced and big portions

Very attentive. Food was dish. I have already recommended a friend.

Awesome food, wonderful ambience and amazing service!!! Best Indian food we ever had in Leeds. Loved chicken and prawns starters. Each non-veg starter was served with differnt type of chutney/sauce and that too was very tasty. There is reasonable variety of veg food. The staff was very polite, friendly and courteous. Would highly recommend this place for memorable Indian food experience.

Amazing hospitality, Each dish had unique taste and appearance. Very flavorful and delicious. most loved Ckn Lollipops, Prawns starters, In Veg. Paneer in tandoor and Chana Chat. Moat Amazing was Seafood Curry and rice. Very good Cocktails.

A trip to Leeds is complete after dining at this amazing restaurant. Excellent food and very friendly staff. Highly recommend this place.

Amazing food, service and drinks! Joshua always looks after us and makes us feel welcome. One of our fave places in Chapel Allerton

Had an excellent time here. The food was superb. The prawns were massive and some of the best I've had. Joshua makes some stunning cocktails. Can't rate this place highly enough

Excellent place for a express lunch. They have several options available veg or none veg. We opted for a meat express lunch serviced perfectly in an thali (Indian tray). The food came with a bowl of Chicken curry - Keema peas - Mixed dal - Rice - Roti - Yogurt - Mixed pickles - Popadoms and for desert a Gulab Jamun. The food was 10 - 10 for flavour and oil free (very healthy). The food was well seasoned and not overpowering with chillies and a great outstanding thanks to the Goan chef. The complete meal was less that £15:00 outstanding valve for lunch at a top notch restaurant in Chapel Allerton Leeds. Please see enclosed picture as this tells the full story.

Omg!This place is amazing i felt that when i even stepped in, one of staff members escorted us to the table ,i have never tried this much delicious food ever before, its like finger licking good, staff are so respectfull & polite, one of the young staff member Anisha served us so well which begins with a cocktails, starter and curry recommendation are so good i ‘ve been to many different places but this restaurant is absolutely blow your mind away with awesome food keema and onion coriander naan and liquors choice. I am definitely visiting second time soon Highly recommended 👍🏿👍🏿

our meal here was so special! the service from Arjun was absolutely perfect, very polite but also friendly and warm and very helpful too. the food though was spectacular - we loved everything we had. as vegetarians there was enough for two of us to have a great meal - our favourite things were the sev puri and the okra bhajis, some of the best I've ever had. I'd recommend de baga to anyone, it was such a lovely evening for us both - thank you!

Came on a Saturday evening and it wasn’t too busy, the atmosphere was lovely with the fairy lights and the instrumental music. We got sev puri, the meat sizzler platter and paneer steak platter and a mocktail (which I wouldn’t recommend but we aren’t too bothered by this) The portions were huge and the food was amazing - my husband loved the meat sizzler and said the highlight was the lamb chops. Lovely service from Arjun and the team - we will be back :)

Exceptional food and service. Had an absolutely fantastic time and we will definitely be back.

After an issue with my earlier delivery, I had reached out to De Baga directly and the wonderful Mandeep delivered a new order from this branch to me personally. The chicken briyani and chicken65 were delicious! I was very impressed by the amazing customer service as well as food quality.

Unbelievable restaurant, food and service. I liked it so much I booked them for our wedding food at our mixed wedding. Flavours are fantastic and both sides of our family enjoyed the meal - the presentation is also fantastic. Speak to Param if you want the best wedding food EVER. Or just visit if you want a great night and lovely food.

We visited for a family meal and left absolutely wowed by the food! Everything was absolutely delicious. Between us we had a range of dishes and sampled each others, everything was absolutely beautiful. Lovely staff and nice atmosphere, we will definitely be returning!

We were a group attended my son wedding, fantastic food ,venue and service

Wow! What a lucky find. We happened to just call in off the street and although they were fully booked (it was Independence Day) they still managed to seat a family of four. This really was an incredible customer experience, from our initial welcome until the time we left. The service was spot on. The authentic food was nothing short of sensational and definitely up there with the best I've ever had. The party mood atmosphere was also an unexpected treat with live music and Independence Day celebrations. All things considered I have to give De Baga 12 out of 10 for being so bloody fantastic!

Loved the ambiance of the place and the food was great too. It was great to see some creativity with Indian food. Would definitely go back

Very nice food and interesting menu. Lovely staff and large comfortable venue at Chapel Allerton.

I really enjoyed my meal here. Lovely Lamb curry, delicious. Service was great and the staff were so very friendly. I recommend trying this place. Reasonably priced. I will return here.

A chilled environment to catch up with friends over a drink or two.

We had an amazing time for mine and my brothers 30th birthday celebrations! All the staff were extremely hospitable, kind and helpful throughout the night and always had a smile on their faces. They made sure that we all had the best night and couldn’t recommend them highly enough for a special occasion, to host larger groups but also know they’re just as amazing at smaller, more intimate relaxed dinners. Thanks Param for putting so much time, thought and kindness into the event. We could see how hard you worked and it was very much appreciated! See you soon!

We had a lovely evening at de baga last night. The food was very nice and we liked the choices. Arjones went above and beyond in looking after us and being very attentive. The team were all very happy and smiley, you can tell they enjoy working there. I personally would prefer the food to be spicier as it was very mild, maybe some spicier options or a choice of spice by grades. Thank you , Rose & Sammie ✨

Amazing food drinks and service 😋

Amazing restaurant! Food is absolutely delicious and the staff are all lovely. The lunch time thali deal is great, would definitely recommend.

Did a bottomless brunch. Great value. The food was delicious and we had a lovely smiley waiter who took good care of us and kept the drinks coming. Definitely recommend.

Food is excellent and staff were really friendly

Amazing food and drinks,, great service.. if you really want the real taste of Indian food, definitely dine in at De baga.. great choice of Goan food and a great ambience!!

Nice atmosphere, everything was delicious!😍✨

Lovely food, lovely staff. one criticism however would be to heat the plates up as some of the food wasn't as hot as we would have liked and the plates were cold. Would go again however.

Delicious food and lovely service. Lower score for atmosphere due to some very loud men holding forth on next table

Scrumptious Indian (Goan) food, soothing ambiance and very friendly staff. Will go back again ..

Really nice restaurant. Very lively, good food and very nice staff. Would go back.

Very modern and trendy interior, great for photos, but most importantly the food is a let down. It wasn’t as spicy as I like nor was I asked my preference and the strips of Paneer for my starter I had were just bland and hard to eat. My partners sev puri was a little better, but again lacking in flavour and spice. Overall its just pricey food that tastesok food. Maybe they will improve with experience. Give this a miss and go to the cats pyjamas or Aagrah’s instead. 4/10

1st time and wow, surpassed our expectations, the food and flavours were so enjoyable. They make fresh Panear upstairs, and its the best I have had in my life. Well done.

Great food, fairly expensive but OK for the quality. Took a long time for food to arrive, about 1 hour (went on a Wednesday evening). Nicely decorated.

My wife & myself visited De Baga Chapel Allerton yesterday, we welcomed by the , offered us to take have drinks & view the menu.The restaurant is excellent,all staff very polite.Good choice of beverages & food.Arunjones the waiter was excellent and others. We will visit De Baga again.Well done ALL. Bipin & Pratibha Parmar

The guys were brilliant excellenct customer service and very kind. Can’t wait to come come back

3rd visit to the Chapel Allerton restaurant. The food is fantastic. Friendly staff.

lovely lunch with hubby. So relaxing and the food was gorgeous.

Joshua the bar man was very charming and provided us with a delicious lasse cocktail! The food was great, and the portions were generous. This was the lamb shank roast and it was top. The kulcha (bread) was fluffy and delicious.
