Leandra in Plymouth

Have visited Leandras many times and have always found it first class. The food was very good & hot, served efficiently within a reasonable time. Reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere and warm. My only complaint is the waitress seemed as if she needed another type of job that did not involve any interaction with people.

Spontaneous decision to dine here and it didn’t disappoint! Leandra’s is a bit of a Plymouth institution, been there for at least half a century but it was my wife’s first ever visit. It’s not in the most trendiest of areas, and the menus at first glance aren’t that exciting but … BUT if you like good quality ingredients, cooked by people who know food and that care, IF you like traditional and the classics served with a modern twist, IF you like value for money then PLEASE please give them a visit. Super friendly & efficient staff, great service, amazing food served in a great atmosphere. Well done to the FOH & kitchen teams, it was a real dining pleasure and we look forward to our next visit

Have been to Plymouth many times but never been to Leandra but after tonight will definitely return. The choice, presentation, taste and service were all excellent and the price was very reasonable.

Warm friendly atmosphere, fantastic service by Ryan and the drinks waitress whos name I didnt get, great food and reasonably priced. I'll definitely be back.

Amazing caring staff Yes 1 problem with food but didn't put us off

The food and the service was excellent

We were in and out within 50 minutes - felt rushed and watched uncomfortably by staff. Tables and chairs for too close together. The food was of generous portion sizes and hot but of average quality. Customer service poor - didn't see any staff smile, no conversation or personal touch. Management needs serious training and a good shake-up. We would return given the restaurants history and put it down to an off day, but reading recent reviews opinions seem mixed in recent times.

Was at the restaurant for a birthday meal there was a big group of the us the staff were not accommodating and were rude to us as customers as we were about leave we were not allowed to split the bill they said we had to work out the prices and when asked for help was told it was our problem this is was a problem cause at the beginning the lady said we could split the bill most of us had roast beef and it was not to a good quality beef was chewy and felt processed and paying for a roast dinner at that price you expect the beef at a certain standard of a restaurant I won’t attend this restaurant again as the staff were off putting and impolite to the whole party

Went in for a meal this evening ,the staff were very rude and very inpatient ,wouldn’t go their again

Just been today with 2 friends for a 3 course meal , absolutely loved it , been there before , amazing staff , the chef is my neighbour he s a star 🌟 love it 🌟❤️🥳

Food amazing, service excellent, good value for money

Had a table for 6 today, service was absolutely fantastic, we had the lovely Danielle serving our table and nothing was too much trouble. Everyone had a great time, thanks to Bailey for the amazing starters, infact the whole meal was fantastic

What a disappointing shame. Went for a special birthday dinner. Checked it out in the afternoon first. Ordered lovely wine, 3 courses of a la cart menu. Brilliant prawn cocktail starter. Fantastic desert of great quality. BUT NOW THE MAIN DISHES I ordered lamb souvlaki and after a bit got told "no lamb left" so I picked the chicken souvlaki , upon which the waitress pulled her face but said nothing. A bit later it came and oooh boy "this was bad" tough and horrible. I left my birthday main meal and we continued for dessert. To our horror , when we wanted to pay , we said the mains was horrific, and reply was " yes, I knew that and wondered why you had it" so I replied , why didn't you tell me. No reply. And you at 2 bites of it. I think this was not the right way to treat us. We spend more than £90 between us. DINER BE AWARE.

The Leandra was amazing They got us a table on a Saturday night,as our previous booking let us down, within half an hour they managed to seat us whilst coping with a very busy time The staff are so friendly and helpful, went to great trouble to help, above and beyond I'd say Whereas the food is so good, and the portions very generous, the Meze is vast and every dish distinct and authentic Greek flavours, throughly enjoyed we loved it Very nice seating arrangements and lovely atmosphere Very highly recommended

Delicious food and friendly, attentive service. Reasonably priced. Sadly non alcoholic beers etc were not available. We were celebrating 2 birthdays but were not allowed to bring our own non alcoholic fizzy wine even though we were willing to pay corkage.

Great food, service ok for a busy Sunday

Food is lovely staff brilliant xx

First visit on a busy Friday evening, service was still good and food for 6 was very good. Great menu and friendly efficient staff, definitely going to return.

This is the place to go when celebrating or even going for a casual meal. I have eaten in most places Plymouth has to offer now and can say without doubt Leandra is my first choice. Great menus both set and a'la carte as well children's menus. The waiters are amazing and the food is cooked and presented perfectly. If you enjoy steak then it's a no brainer to book here as only place I've eaten that my steak was served how I asked for it.

Absolutely fabulous all round service from the phone booking to leaving the restaurant. Was a booking of 20 people for my daughters 30th birthday,nothing at all was too much trouble, well seated/arrangement/food/service/all fabulous. Many thanks to all especially our main waitress Sam 🥰

Gorgeous! The cuisine, the service and atmosphere was all wonderful! Bit pricier than other Plymouth restaurants but well worth it! Made my birthday really special! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lived in plymouth all my life and never been to this restaurant, well that has changed now ,will certainly be coming back ,staff very friendly and attentive fantastic menu and food very tasty and plentiful and good value.the two waitresses were lovely thankyou

Wow, what a fantastic, wonderful Greek restaurant was highly recommended by The B & B we were staying at well. we definitely were not disappointed at all. I would highly recommend this place. The amazing moussaka was the best I've ever tasted as well as the starters we had to staff very friendly and welcoming couldn't do any more then they provided,very clean and a great ambeounce not to expensive either definitely will be back thank you to all the staff for our wonderful experience.

My wife visited this place with her friends last night (14/08/2024) as they entered the restaurant and looked at the menu, the ‘waiter’ came up to he table and asked if they are ready to order, they were taking the order but my wife mentioned that she can not have dairy (intolerant) and the waiter said ‘that sounds like a YOU problem’ and continued to be rude and arrogant throughout the evening. No names to be mentioned as they weren’t wearing badges. But I just want that particular waiter to know how terrible their service was and we will be making it known to people who plan to visit there. No one asked if there was any allergens at the beginning, and my wife has been feeling ill since the visit. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the waiter and I hope he gets recognised for being the worst waiter ever. Sort it out management! If I could give 0 stars for service that would still be too much. Pathetic.

Oh my gosh, the food here was absolutely divine!! There were 5 of us visited, nothing was too much trouble. I had the chicken kebabs and sticky toffee pudding for dessert off of the set menu and it was glorious! The portions are very generous and every mouthful is enjoyable! The staff were very attentive, friendly and happy. Will definitely be coming here again.

This place is fantastic if: You like really bland food, Your expectations are low and/or basic If you prefer flavour, then you’ve come to the wrong place. I don’t understand why people rate it so highly but then if you like basic food which is basically ‘English’ then you’ll love it. The dishes look like they offer more but deliver disappointingly little. Service-wise, the staff are friendly enough but look like they’re really waiting to get on a staff night out or something.

I love coming to this place... it is unreal! I have been to Leandra's on many occasions and this time was a birthday party that seated approximately 16. The atmosphere was great just walking in and we were welcomed with great service which carried on for the rest of the night. To start I had the tomato soup which was a great portion for a starter and tasted great, quite peppery. For my mains, I had a fillet steak which was hard to believe it was a fillet as it was so big. The flavour of the steak was great it felt like I was eating at a steak house, and came with a tomato, mushrooms, peas and unlimited chips in the middle of the table which are so good. To finish I had the chocolate brownie which came with ice cream and topped with a chocolate sauce, crumbs, berries and marangine. It was incredible. What an experience and I have had this same experience every time I've been.

Without doubt the best value restaurant in Plymouth. Very rarely it can be a bit noisy if a large group are in, but it's very rare and would not put me off returning.

The crème brûlée was a disgusting taste and the waitress admitted it was rancid But no apology And when given the bill no money was taken off until I asked and then just the cost of the dessert

Excellent service, very friendly and polite staff, food excellent, with good portions , also reasonably priced.

My friend and I had a superb dinner here yesterday. Quick and friendly service and delicious food. Had a 2 course menu for about £20 and all of our dishes were delicious. Great value.

I came her for my birthday on 8th July 2024 and I had such a warm welcome, they all went above and beyond for my mum and myself. The food was absolutely amazing and really.gpod portion sizes too. Will be coming back very soon 🙂

Delicious food, compliments to the chef. Presentation and portion sizes first class. We were a group of four and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the price was reasonable. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely fantastic experience. The staff were excellent. The food was amazing we all felt well and truly looked after.

I am absolutely devastated at the attitude I received today. Called to say we have a guide dog puppy is it ok to cone in and was told absolutely find. Turned up and was greeted but the most arrogant and rude man who said i could not bring the dog in. I said oh this is a guide dog and i did call, he replied i don’t care. He was then told by another lovely colleague we were allowed in as it is a guide dog and he told the man i don’t care not everyone wants dogs around. I advised our dog is a working dog and had his flash lead on and guide dog coat. The man was so rude i felt completely blindsided and we left. Other customers and staff were completely shocked. I will never ever come here again. Anyone with a vision impairment is not welcome here as stated by this man

Such a lovely & cosy restaurant. Does a wide variety of different dishes. All fresh ingredients, tastes amazing. Definitely worth a visit

Really nice place, lovely food, great staff, highly recommended

Great food, our waiter Ryan was amazing and really made the atmosphere great. Such a great character. Would highly recommend a visit

Great food wonderful place staff are great fair prices fair size meals to love going here

Really delicious food, reasonably priced, great portions, and good service - would absolutely recommend and go again! Pictured are lamb kleftico main and lemon meringue tart for dessert, from the set dinner menu.

Super yummy food, nice staff and excellent service. Really enjoyed the goats cheese croquettes 😋

Down from London for the weekend was recommended by 2 locals in the pub how they have not disappointed the staff can't do enough and food is faultless highly recommend

First class service and the meal was perfect

Went to The Leandra for my Birthday meal it was absolutely lush and their customer service excellent would definitely recommend their restaurant one of the best restaurant establishments in Plymouth

Been there a number of times booked for a special birthday in May..I Had my special birthday on Sunday the food was excellent our table of 20 very happy diners . Brilliant service too

Food was quick and fresh. Service was prompt. I was surprised at the menu not being more traditional, nonetheless, the food was really good. I was hoping the meze would be available.

Great food at reasonable prices, great friendly service.

Lamb meatballs starter - 10/10 Chicken kebab main - 2/10. Chicken very very dry BUT… Service - 10/10. Stag party of 17, 5 waiters helping us and when I said about the chicken, he simply removed it from the bill and apologised. Overall experience 4/5 Stars! I would definitely return and try a different main!

Mixed Feelings at Leandra’s Our recent visit to Leandra’s left our group with mixed feelings. While the food undoubtedly impressed us, the service aspect left much to be desired, casting a shadow over our dining experience. Upon arrival, we faced an initial delay as our table was not ready, which led us to the bar area. Unfortunately, the reception here was less than welcoming. The bar staff seemed visibly stressed and somewhat irritated, giving us the uncomfortable impression that serving customers was more of a burden than a part of their job. This was not the warm welcome we had anticipated and it set a subdued tone for the evening. The situation did not improve significantly when we were finally seated. The staff who took our orders carried a similar air of despondence, which made our interactions awkward and made us feel like an imposition rather than valued guests. It was not all gloomy, however. The saving grace of the evening was the cheerful demeanor of the staff member who served our meals. His pleasant attitude was a breath of fresh air and helped salvage what could have been a completely dismal experience. The cuisine, it must be said, was exceptional. Each dish was a delight and thoroughly enjoyed by all at our table. Leandra’s clearly has a kitchen that excels at what it does and it deserves commendation for the high-quality food. Nevertheless, a great dining experience is not made by excellent food alone. The front-of-house experience plays a critical role in ensuring guests feel welcomed and valued. We hope that Leandra’s can address these issues, as the staff’s approach to customer service significantly detracts from the stellar meals they serve. Serving with a smile and engaging positively with customers isn’t just an old adage—it’s an essential part of the hospitality industry. In conclusion, while Leandra’s culinary prowess is undeniable, a revisit seems unlikely unless there are improvements in customer interaction. A little more warmth and consideration from the staff could transform Leandra’s from just a restaurant into a truly inviting dining destination.

What can I say, never ever have I ever been dissatisfied with this place, the food is out of this world, the steak is mouth watering, the service is awesome, they go above and beyond their duties. Would definitely recommend it's perfect in everyday

Food was disgusting cramped in the corner and found blue bits on bread

We had amazing food and service last night celebrating my belated birthday all the staff where great and food portions and quality fantastic well done 👍

I went to Leandras for my birthday, lunch with 3 friends, the food was amazing, 3 of us went for the moussaka, it was delicious, the staff were fantastic, I can’t fault this place, it was my first visit in years & I will definitely recommend & return, big portions, fresh vegetables, friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us. The next family birthday or special occasion will be here! Thank you Leandras for a really fantastic birthday lunch

Great service, great value for money delicious drinks and fantastic food. Will be dinning again. Pan fried chicken brest. I has celery on it but its amazing and vegetables on the side and delicious roast potatoes well seasoned.

Chips were undercooked, still frozen. Steak was dry, Over 4 quid for a coke.felt like they was rushing us out the door just trying to take the next person money,instead on focusing on the food & service.

Always a pleasure to dine here. This restaurant has been one of the best in the city for many years with my, long deceased, parents passing on their pleasant experiences over many years.

The food has always been lovely, we hadn't been for over a year due to various reasons but the server and food was as good as ever.

Fabulous restaurant good value good portions definitely coming back. Highly recommend

Delicious food as usual but bill was £2 extra due to being a Bank Holiday, a bit steep, it's not like Mother's Day or Valentine's Day, as we are regular customers we just looked at the usual prices, maybe it could have been mentioned by the waitress

Great food and service. Would highly recommend.

Wir haben in diesem, eigentlich recht einfachen, Teil der Innenstadt- Nähe Markthalle- nicht ein so gutes Restaurant erwartet. Das Essen war sehr gut und liebevoll angerichtet. Das Ambiente stilvoll und die Mitarbeitenden sehr freundlich! Sehr zu empfehlen!!!

My first visit, although my wife had been before with work colleagues, and I was impressed by all aspects of the evening. Booking a table was easy to do, staff were very welcoming and friendly, starters ( and indeed dessert) were well presented and tasty. I had steak which I like 'well done' and it's one of the few times when I have received a steak cooked evenly throughout. So in summary, well worth a visit and good to see a restaurant that cares about presentation and taste of their food.

Great lunch time menu, really good food at reasonable prices.

What a wonderful restaurant. Each time my family and I have eaten here the food has been delicious and very reasonable. Friday night was no different. The food was wonderful and the waiters so attentive and accommodating. This occasion our waiter was James and he was superb! Nothing was too much trouble and he went out of his way to make sure all our needs were met. All the waiters are faultless and this does make such a difference. I was surprised by my soldier son and daughter in law waiting at a table and so the evening was perfect! Well done everyone at Leandras! And thank you

The service was first class waiters were very polite nothing was too much trouble meal was lovely

Visited a number of times over the years. Nice menu choice and nice place to visit for a work meal. Pleasant service and reasonable prices.

Lovely food and even better service from our waiter Ryan. I wasn't feeling too good and he really looked after me. He is a asset to the restaurant

Excellent restaurant. Our waiter Ryan went above and beyond as I wanted roast lamb and it wasn’t on the menu, he managed to get it for me. You’re a great asset to them. Well done Ryan give you a 100%

Fantastic restaurant, we walked in and although they were fully booked they still accommodated us with a smile. We were early enough to choose from the set menu with lots of choice. The food was delicious with generous portions, so much so that we sadly couldn't manage a desert! We will be back

Absolutely stunning place and shows with the amount of people there. Food was stunning as always and staff are always expectational too. Couldn't rate this place enough.

Dropped in without a booking on a night when there were 3 live events at venues close by so most places were booked up. Staff were very accommodating and fitted us in on a table for 2 for quick pre theatre dinner. Food was very tasty and well presented and staff were friendly and attentive.

This was a fabulous find at very short notice. The service was excellent, helpful friendly staff. The menu had so many lovely dishes was difficult to choose. The food was so tasty and great portions. If we lived near by would certainly be making another reservation. Just a shame we don’t.

Beautiful food, great service and very reasonably priced. We stopped in for dinner before a show and opted for 2 courses from the set menu. The Thai fish cakes were lovely, very tasty with just the right amount of spice. The seafood curry was amazing! Possibly the best I've ever had. (And I've had a few!) The staff were friendly and attentive, especially Lucie who bent over backwards to be helpful. I hadn't been here in at least 20 years, and I have to say it has only got better. Will definitely visit again.

What a find⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service wonderful Best food we’ve ate out for a long time and so reasonably priced for what you get Absolutely delicious and we will be back - Just sad we are not local

Love this place, food and staff are amazing

Very good and plenty on your plate.

Good food, good atmosphere, helpful staff

We ate here as it was a treat from my uncle as we had never been to Plymouth before, I had the Lamb Kleftiko with various roasted veg, which was very nice, however the free tap water was luke warm with no ice and there was too many diners squeezed into the dining area and it was way too hot.

I went here for my sons 18th birthday today with my family and sons girlfriend. I have been to leandras before so knew what to expect and I was not disappointed the food was excellent the service was excellent we had the best time and they even went the extra mile for my 9 year old autistic son. I would highly recommend going to leandras to anyone 😁👌perfect 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Lovely atmosphere, the food is always well presented and very tasty. Serving staff are usually attentive and pleasant. If I have to be a tad critical the music can be a little loud possibly resulting in over loud customers having to shout over the music or other dinners. Childrens meals can be overwhelmingly big and wasteful when not eaten.

First time visiting here and I must say it was top quality

Lovely food, great service, fantastic atmosphere, couldn't fault it. Nothing else to say. 5 star.

We were told about here last minute .we took a chance and popped in they could just fit us in .wow what a fabulous meal we had a 2 course and 3 course. It was absolutely amazing. The service was excellent. We have been to Plymouth lots of times and didn't know about this place .its definitely on our place to go .thank you

Couldn't fault the food or the price but just felt a little rushed

Went to leandra for a family meal the service was brilliant showed us to our table menu and cutlery and side plates all on table... waitress went away came back a little while later asked if wanted to order drinks which we did...then came around a little while later to ask if ready to order food which we did only had to wait about 10 minutes..the service was excellent atmosphere was lovely..the whole experience was exceptional

Went here for a friends birthday meal. It was a Saturday night so quite busy but we expected that and the food was worth the wait. Duck in orange sauce. All of the staff were friendly and attentive :) 10/10 would return.

27th Jan party of 10 for Mum's 90th Birthday, excellent service, food,atmosphere from start to finish! Thank you very much for making the evening special for her! Xx

Another fantastic meal at Leandras. Honestly, this place never disappoints. The decor is clean & cosy, the staff are wonderful and the food is DELICIOUS. We've been here so many times now and will keep going back. Thank you Leandras :-)

Absolutely amazing. Can't fault anything. Food and service first class.

Fantastic meal , such good value and all cooked fresh . Couldn't fault it .

Has to be one of my favourite restaurants. The staff go above and beyond to ensure the customer has a wonderful experience. Special thanks to Ryan for all he did to make our visit one to remember. The food was exquisite with your taste buds being woken up with every mouthful. Value for money is guaranteed.

We had our staff Christmas party here and everything was fantastic, food, drinks, and staff. Thank you Leandra 😊

This place is amazing having visited many times over the years it just gets better and better the quality of food is outstanding also having Ryan look after us was wonderful a real character excellent with customer skills can’t praise this place enough highly recommend it

This is our Plymouth go to and it's yet to let us down. We went as a group of 6 and were seated promptly. The menu is very extensive with plenty of choice, all of which is great value for money! The service is fantastic and the atmosphere is perfect! We will be back very soon!

Great restaurant couldn’t fault it. Extensive menu, friendly staff and good wine list. Big meals some come hungry will return next time I find myself in Plymouth

Birthday lunch for 11 Excellent service

Lovely meal. Great food, great service and great value. Highly recommend!

Treated again tonight for another lovely meal at Leandra's. Once again I asked for gluten free bread and this time the cheeky waiter said I should bring my own ! It's been our favourite place to eat for many years, it's a shame that they can't put a gluten free loaf in their freezer and take out a slice when asked for, it is 2023 after all and food allergies are very common.

Had our works Christmas meal 8/12/23 everyone’s meal was lovely will definitely go again

So me and my work colleagues went to have Christmas meal for our works night out the food was cooked to perfection the staff was very attentive and took very care of us all anyone wanting a perfection fine dinning leandras is place to be food piping hot and portion size more excellent definitely value for money outstanding service all round thank to all of the staff for making our works night extra special in every way xxx
