Leandra in Plymouth

My 13 yr old daughter asked for mash and beans, it came out as a toddler sized portion! They even gave My 4 yr old daughter a larger meal than my 13 yr old. This was a disappointing visit.

Meal with friends .food excellent ! Good service !!

Love this place. Food is amazing

We as a family have been coming to Leandra for years. The food and the service is exceptional. No matter how busy they are we always get a warm welcome on arrival. Despite having an extensive menu the Chef's deliver great meals over a wide range of cuisines. Thank you. The whole Leandra Team are brilliant. A special thank you to Sam. She has been fabulous for years. To James who always has a funny line to say and to Ryan who always gives a 110% and makes our visits memorable. You are a Starman.

Fabulous food and wonderful staff! We came for lunch with our little one and a member of staff came and rocked her to sleep in her pram so we could eat our lunch together. We were blown away by the service here and will definitely be coming back!

Great little find whilst visiting Plymouth, tasty food and very big portions…we ordered too much, but the food very nice and definitely a place where we would return next time we’re up this way. The staff were a credit to the restaurant and very attentive.

Been to leandras on many occasions and alway had a great meal staff are always polite and friendly and food alway taste great

Excellent service,separate gluten free menu,polite and very efficient. The food was delicious and sooooo tasty presented with style.😀😀

The taramasalata was really good. The lamb souvlaki was well seasoned and cooked, plated with basmati rice, tzatziki, salad and feta. Very generous portion

Great restaurant with brilliant staff menu is wide ranging and although there is a Greek theme all tastes are catered for. Good prices can’t fault it in the many times I’ve visited

★★★★★ It’s been years since I last visited as I now live in the Midlands, but I’m so glad I returned! The food was just as fabulous as I remember from years ago—fresh, delicious, and full of flavour. Still amazing value too. Highly recommend!

Wonderful restaurant, the food is delicious, portions are big enough. There is a lunch and dinner option menu. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Gutes Restaurant mit gemütlicher Atmosphäre. Die Bedienung ist freundlich. Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist okay.

Always lovely and service wonderful 👍

Busy so I would advise booking. Ample parking in the multi story across the road. Search for Wrstern Approach car park. Fast service in drinks and food. Food was divine. I braved the lamb and it was wonderful, not tough or chewy, but buttery with every mouthful. Dessert I had the leandras mess (Eton mess). Nice palate cleanser. Will definitely be back. Good portions and great food

Poor and disorganised service but good food is the rationale for this review. We booked a family meal to celebrate a birthday. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not ready, 40 minutes passed until we were seated. At this point I was already annoyed but when another similar size party arrived and were shown straight to a suitable table I became really annoyed. It is just epic poor planning. It was a busy Saturday night, i get that but we were paying customers of a hospitality business. They should not take bookings if they can't accommodate their guests. When we were seated we were given a table only suitable for 4-5 people, so the 7 of us were very cramped. This became an issue later as we ordered Meze and there was no room for the food. The place was noisy and busy, you might like that but it was difficult to chat and we were next to the toilet which sometimes might be an advantage but as we were crammed on a small table we had to keep moving chairs to let people in and out. After we complained the staff were really helpful in sorting our night but neither us or them should have ever been in that position. The food was excellent, well cooked and great portions. No complaints there but our night was ruined by the initial poor service

A truly perfect evening. Lovely ambience, pleasant staff (and plenty of them), GREAT food- the best moussaka we've had in years. Highly recommend this place. Thank you for a lovely evening. We'd definitely come back if we're in Plymouth again.

Always beautiful food, great staff, they make you feel at home. Best in Plymouth 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Excellent food and service. Party of 27 and restraunt busy but really efficient staff lovely especially Ryan who went above and beyond. Delicious

This was a third visit over the last year I have booked for Ladies who Lunch ,there were 13 of us and everyone of us thought that it was excellent.The service was excellent,the food was excellent,and the presentation was excellent.Also we didn’t have to pre-order . I would highly recommend this restaurant, we will certainly return again.THANKYOU

The food fantastic the service excellent we had two big party’s but as a group we collected everyone’s money for there meal beforehand so we pay all together but be careful they have two party menus on there site so mine was 21.95 during the week and a extra £3 at weekends so 24.95 a person but some had added like steak so £31 but the one menu they charged us from was £1 more but with 17 people ur £17 out of pocket plus becareful if u doing party and collecting money up front as they ask if u want sauce but don’t tell u that there is a £3 charge for each sauce so just be careful in groups

Always a pleasure to visit. Ryan was a super star yet again. Service, food, everything outstanding 👌 thanks 😊

On saturday 4th january myself and 15 members of my family arrived at the restaurant which we had already informed of our meal choices to be shown to 3 separate tables which where set apart ,when we then asked if we where able to sit to together we where shown sitting for 12 and 3 on another table across the room we excepted that and where then told they had lost our orders so we reordered, food arrived vary quickly and vary nice now the good part we had arranged for a cake and balloons to be brought in after the meal to surprise my brother on his 60th birthday it arrived into the restaurant with the staff singing happy birthday but they took it to another table of which the party at the table where surprised when i informed the other party they said sorry we thought it was a bit funny as the oldest person at there table was 45 we shared the cake with them, won't be going back sorry .

25 of us rocked up yesterday for our Christmas lunch. Greeted with happy faces from the lovely staff even though the restaurant was full. The food came out quickly and piping hot; no mean feat for a table of 25! Well done Nick and the team it was a fabulous afternoon x x looking forward to the next visit. Merry Christmas 🎄

As always staff polite, friendly, welcoming. Good atmosphere and food was hot and so good. Will return soon...

We attended for a staff Christmas meal of 8. This is the first meal we’ve done as a large group where nothing was wrong! Everything came out at the same time (and promptly!), was warm, tasted fresh and incredibly delicious. Very good portion sizes and even lovelier staff. Accommodating to all of our needs and a lovely atmosphere. Would really recommend and eat here again! A new favourite for sure

Just returned from a Christmas meal there. As usual great food & service at reasonable prices.

It had been the Wife’s Mums 80th Birthday earlier in 2024 and so we took her and Dad out for Lunch to mark the Occassion. As they enjoy Leandra Restaurant we booked a Table for a Late Lunch Date. For me personally I thought the experience was no better than Average with Service Reasonably Efficient but not overly Friendly. Food was ok but no better than that in my view. Three of us had Three Courses and Dad had just the Two. Drinks were vastly overpriced. Mum had a decent time I guess but overall I was disappointed especially when you consider the owners originate from Cyprus where Food is the Number One choice of Families. Chalk and Cheese.

Phoned up last minute and managed to squeeze us in.The food here is exceptional in quality and value. Where else are you getting 3 courses for £22-25. The only criticism you could make is that it's very busy and the staff are rushing about but sip your drink and remember it's worth the wait and if you don't have the belly pork for main you are missing out.

It’s ages since I have eaten here it was my wife’s favourite restaurant Since then many more eating places have come to Plymouth, The Family decided it would be nice to come back here and it was a great choice The Staff are so obliging and attentive, we had a great welcome We did pre order as there were seven of us and it makes easier for everyone . We all had different meals but we were all delighted with how delicious they all were bursting with flavour The size of the meals was very generous and all of us were full after two courses a couple had desserts which again were outstanding Thank you all will not leave it so long before we return

The best in Plymouth. 15 of us and the meals all came out together and were superb.

Early Christmas work party. Great success. Everyone enjoyed their meals and have even suggested going back next year. Great value

Great family friendly atmosphere. Food is always amazing and the staff always go above and beyond

Phoned up to ask about gf options!!! Do not eat here with any gluten intolerance or colieac... the staff have 0 understanding!! There's melon you can have though??? So the girl on the phone said. Shocking that the staff have no training in this and no understanding of how serious this can be .

Amazing food and amazing atmosphere. Staff are sound also 👌🏼

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.

Top for food, service and price. Love this place.

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.

Tables are a bit too close but otherwise great place

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

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.

Food is lovely staff brilliant xx

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 🥰

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
