Leon in City of London, Westminster

Grabbed a great tasting satay chicken rice box before getting train back home. Services was quick, just what you needed

Horrendously slow service for a small order. Half our order sat on the side in a take away bag getting cold. No apology for keeping us waiting. Six other orders came and went during the time we were waiting. Customer service was non existent, clearly the staff don’t care. We use Leon’s in a number of destinations, but Victoria Station takes the biscuit.

I usually find the Leon fries quite soggy so I thought I’d try the Mac & cheese bites instead. I was surprised to find just five measly bites in a box that cost me £4. I can get over an excessively costly meal if it’s at least prepared properly, but I later found TWO hairs in my burger. Disgusting.

I have ordered Roasted Summer Veg, Grilled Aubergine. The food was hardly even warm, some of the pieces of veg even cold. Absolutely distasteful. Will never buy again

Horrendous .. worst I have ever had .. I ate ordered chicken burger and fries .. salad had grit in it .. chicken was like rubber .. fries were cold not warm cold and the air con was on full so restaurant was freezing .. honestly I left it .. disgusting

It was our first night in London. They were almost closing when we came in and so we had to quickly place an order, most of the items of the menu were sold out. But we managed to dine in. Food price is not cheap for the type of food served.

Picking up early breakfast went to Leon at 7AM when it’s supposed to be open. Doors only open a fair bit after 7 and kitchen not open until several minutes later. Please update your opening times to be more honest: 7:15 or so.

First night in London, felt like I couldn't find anywhere not jam-packed to eat, so ended up here. Really enjoyed the salad I got. Very fresh and flavorful.

I am disgusted I ordered s grilled hallomi wrap (I am vegaterian) so they gave me the wrap and I proceeded to eat it but after eating half the wrap I thought the hallomi tasted weird so I opened my wrap and to my horror it was chicken CHECK WHAT'S IN YOUR WRAP !!

We had the best Vegan Burger ever here! We recommend this Place if you want the King of vegan burgers!

I've tried the Love Hamburger with fries. I'm not vegan but this hamb it's a good alternative to try something new and know the possibility of this world. The tasty is good

At the time I really felt like a warm creamy curry with Crispy katsu chicken. This couldn’t be further from what I wanted. The curry was non existent and actually the meal was very dry! The chicken looked like it had a disease, it was so gross, soggy and Not Crispy! This meal was so bad I had to leave a review to warn people. I wouldn’t even feed this to my dog. Biggest waste of money!

Went here served by dywain and curtis fantastic service, they are both excellent, polite and well mannered. had the grilled halloumi wrap, excellent food, excellent service, excellent value. dywain and curtis is impeccable.

Leon Restaurant, Victoria Station, London Review covers the Leon Restaurant on the concourse of Victoria Railway Station. We were staying over in Pimlico West London that evening with a special day ahead of us on the morrow – personal one: celebrating a special wedding anniversary – and we’d arrived by train before switching to the Underground for our hotel behind Victoria Station. This is where the train journey would begin the following day. Walking across the elegant open public/passenger concourse of Victoria Station – where you find the regular station services, restaurants, cafés, left-luggage facilities, train/schedule board and more – we’d come across the Leon Restaurant. Familiar with the more popular brands at the station – typically US-origin but with a sprinkling of French-names – there, to one side, was the Leon restaurant. Equally, there was the beginnings of a snake of a queue backing out through the external seating area – waiting to place/pay/obtain their order/food. Popular then. It was early evening and people were typically seated 10-15 minutes eating their ‘fast food’ or carrying their orders away with them. Leon was an unknown brand to us … well, we don’t live locally. Check out the website, however, and you’ll see that Leon’s a fast-food chain with an edge – focused upon Mediterranean/Middle Eastern foods - foods that are ‘good-for-you’ - those that are nutritious, culturally interesting, natural, taste/look good – and which, perhaps, introduce you (the newcomer) to foods that have none of the negatives typical of the descriptor ‘fast-food’. The model has come across well – again, according to the website – with 64 restaurants across the UK & Europe since the first was opened 15 years ago. Others are in the pipeline. Since then the company has established a not-for-profit foundation, introduced a school feed plan and promoted cookery classes for children. There’s even Leon cookbooks available. Our experience? ‘Reasonable’ would be a good ‘descriptor’; service had been friendly and prompt when we found ourselves at the head of the half-dozen others in the queue. The shop counter was crowded; people waiting to one side for their separate orders. You order, pay and wait for your meal to be handed across the counter – each meal comes in a flat cardboard box in a paper bag. From the counter in the neighbouring alcove you help yourself to condiments and plastic/one-use cutlery. There’s no water provided gratis. Purchase drinks from a separate cabinet to one side of the queue. Outside there’s seating for around two dozen at 10-12 tables behind barriers that separate space on the public paving. The atmosphere is bright, light and concourse-busy (well, this is a major urban railway station/hub). It’s an easy place to sit, eat and watch the world go by. For our meal we ordered a Thai Curry and a Lebanese Mezze Salad - both came in one of those ubiquitous cardboard boxes – the former hot, tasty/spicy and a delight to eat (chicken, baby corn, aubergine, bamboo shoots in a green curry sauce) and the latter carrots, squash, falafel, green salad (lentils, kale, onion) with a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds – colourful. Both meals small/medium, but sufficient. Costs? Curry GB£5.95 & Salad GB£4.95, bottle water GB£1.95. Total GB£12.80. About that ‘Reasonable’ then … the salad was well ‘passed-its-sale-by-date’; it was no longer fresh, but tired, dry and unattractive – presumably made the evening beforehand and the last of the batch to be ordered that day? Who knows? It was unappetising, and the meal was abandoned half-eaten. The restaurant should logically be highlighted for novelty, service, approach, value, etc. and generally merit a ‘good’ assessment but, unfortunately, TripAdvisor doesn’t provide this category and, with 50% of our meals rated poorly, it clearly doesn’t merit that ‘very good’ assessment.

I needed a quick and hearty breakfast and the veggie breakfast box looked nice. It was an impressively bad breakfast in that every single component was about as bad as it could be. The 'fresh poached egg' was neither fresh nor poached, the halloumi probably had been grilled the day before and was rubber, the baked beans smelled of paper, which after tasting them turned out to be what they're probably made of and the thing as a whole was heated so the avocado was heated. To future generations: please do not repeat my mistake. Your elders have suffered so that you should not. P.S. At least the water was free, +1 star.

Casual, self service restaurant. Tends to get very busy at lunch time. Usually possible to get a seat upstairs. Healthy food. Vegan and veggie options. I personally find some of the boxes a bit dry and plain, but on the whole it’s an option that...

Vegan's paradise! Fresh food and a very chilled atmosphere. You must try the Plantain Curry.. Great and unique taste!

My beetroot burger was a bit on the loose side. When i bit into it the patty squirted out the sides like it wanted to be a sauce.. It wasn't helped by the squidgy brioche bun and other bits of goo.. Not terrible but not...

I was staying in London for two days. First day I passed through Victoria station half asleep and grabbed a latte at Leon to wake me up a bit, and it did its job. Second day I was heading home, again through Victoria station. I...

After a portion of cold, tasteless baked fries and a frankly inedible Korean chicken burger I will not be returning. The chicken breast was massively over cooked, the bun soggy and flavours a mess. At over £10 in price with a can of Coke you...

Black bean LB, praline slice & lovely latte. Lush :-) Smiley friendly staff :-) Highly recommended for lovely chilled out healthy food.

Had chicken satay, which costs almost £7. There where probably 4 pieces of chicken. Basically I payed £7 for cabbage and some littel rice

Tried this fast food because it was proposing something else compared to the other ones. The "fries" were cold. The burger was ok. No non-hot sauces like ketchup available. The drink (cola) was at room temperature (okay for wine but not for that type of...

Having to stay in London solo for 2 weeks straight I was beginning to get fed up of eating alone and/or making dinner for one. I wanted to eat reasonably healthy and cane across Leon and gave it a go - three nights in a...

As a fast food restaurant it has a lot of cool different options like falafel, meatballs, salads or pita bread wraps. Most of them are gluten free. I ordered the sweet potatoes falafel and it was very good, but the highlight was the baked potatoes,...

Am a big fan of Leon and visit 3 or 4 times a week. Have posted a previous review. However, I watched the guy round the back preparing the breakfast pots using bare hands to handle ready cooked egg etc. He should be using plastic...

Tasty and good value sums up this lunch. The chicken had a bit of gristle but the curry and rice was plentiful.

Good value food and ‘ freshly’ prepared. Only problem is any item with rice , would be served with half cooked rice grains. This branch has a kid looking Polish guy who has wonderful manners and customer service.

Came here today at around 1:30 for lunch. A young girl served me and was so lovely. I had the lamb wrap and it tasted amazing. I also got 15% off because I'm a student which is even better. The staff were all so happy...

So pleased to see they’ve opened two Leon stores at Victoria Station (one larger venue upstairs and a small ‘grab and go’ type shop in the ground floor). Leon is perfect when you want something hot, tasty and fast without sacrificing on decent ingredients, cost...

Fast tasty veggie food and gluten free chicken nuggets - surprising! But more than that very tasty and reasonably priced. Polite and fast service.

I was a bit apprehensive as I walked by the restaurant every day on my way to traditional fast food. I finally went inside and gave it a try. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Very good food, tasty, filling and I felt...

Just tried Leon's meatless aubergine meatballs and they were absolutely incredible. Great value for price, the only thing I would say is they could be a bit more generous with the sauce. Definitely recommend, delicious

Seemed very popular and I quickly discovered why. First time I didn’t know what to have but my server, Dwayne, was really helpful. I ended up having the Naked Korean (note to self - don’t Google that on your work laptop!), which is a spicy...

Queued outside in rain wondered why people were coming out, so asked and found out they had run out of chicken, ok we will order somethingelse. When we got to counter we ordered without chicken told also no salad. I paid and the kids found...

If you want to have some food (to get something in the stomach) you can drop by. I had a Thai chicken curry and I have no idea why it is called Thai :( I would avoid that place.

Just to say thank you to my favourite fast food restaurant .Not just for your Fabulous tasty healthy fast food . And last year's amazing loyalty offer, especially thanks for today's cake , nearly packaged on a stool outside your door with a sign saying...

Be prepared to wait. You won’t be warned. You will ask few times if your food is ready yet. Eventually when collected the food was ok. The dining area not cosy. Basic. It’s ok if you want to sit down. Convenient location too.

MAGNIFIQUE! Pas de mots tellement je me suis régalée! Service au top! Produits naturels Je recommande à 100%

In business travel it is hard to find food that isn’t overloaded with carbs and fat—this did well on both counts. I had the Chicken & Chorizo salad. The service was fast and the atmosphere nice.

First I wish to thank the staff and management for saving my day. I came for a bite before conference and in my haste I dropped by diary. Thankfully the staff kept it safe and when I came back the next day they were very...

Muy escondido. Carta original pero tampoco es para tanto ... Hamburguesa con setas gigantes de base . Ideal para vegetarianos. No repetiría . Hay cantidad de sitios mejores en Londres . No lo recomiendo . Lo mejor eso si... la gente que trabaja allí y la cerveza Pale Ale .

On a voulu essayer le concept et aucune déception. Des bons plats, l'accueil est sympa et les prix corrects. Ok pour les vegans! Le 5 c'est de la part de ma fille!

No deja de ser un restaurante de comida rápida, pero es diferente. La comida está más rica que en cualquier fast food, es más original e innovativa y resulta de mayor calidad, además de que sirven cosas que son bastante sanitas y no te vas con la sensación de haber comido basura en absoluto.

Excellent accueil pour une première fois, la personne nous a renseigné correctement et la nourriture est très gouteuse.

Great chain with multiple locations and really great food. I tend to stop for breakfast and always have the avocado and grilled hallumi cheese, and the breakfast box with beans, mushrooms, avocado, egg, bacon and sausage. Everything is very delicious and the staff is extremely...

We have arrived from Australia where this franchise is not available. My family loved the friendly vibe of this place. The tasty healthy menu was delicious and very affordable. Would highly recommend this to anyone whether for lunch or dinner.

Fab, healthy, quick and reasonably priced fast food with great choice for VEGANS! Chocolate shake was so good :)

If you are looking for affordable, healthy, gluten free food in London - this is the place. Salads and chicken-rice bowls available. Options for the entire family. Great location

Stopped here after seeing countless Instagram posts and Pinterest boards. The store had a nice retro vibe. Service is quick. You order at the counter and take your food to your table. Reasonably priced. Opted for the new Mediterranean Mezze which came with falafels, veg...

Gott och nyttigare alternativ till vanlig snabbmat. Hämtade mat en kväll när vi var här i London och vi fick maten snabbt och med bra service. Maten var mycket god och portionerna lagom. Rekommenderas om man vill äta snabbmat som känns lite nyttigare.

La selección de la comida era buena, la comida estaba caliente y sabrosa. Es comida rápida que puede ser comido en las comidas servidas en un cuadro, o como llevar. El servicio fue rápido, incluso durante un ajetreado periodo de almuerzo, y el personal era amable. No hay mucho más que pueda decir - limpio, buena comida, buen servicio y sabrosas comidas.

had a £6.95 (i think) Moroccan meatballs with rice. Very tasty. What else do you want me to say?! Staff were quicker than MacD to serve so happy there too

Aprovechando los clientes ponen 2 pequeñas piezas de pollo y el resto es el 80% de arroz y el resto es verde. No fue preparado

The food was not fresh. The rice was too hard and not cooked properly. Not again. The staff was rude aswell.

Très digeste. Un bon goût, des burgers ,des wraps ,des salades et des plats retravaillés avec un autre goût,je le conseille pour les personnes voulant se faire plaisir ,en faisant attention aux produits qui sont naturels ,service très rapide . Accueil sympa

Rude, bullying, dissmissive taff. Prefer to serve pushy people ot make their lives easier. Food is ok, but expenive for what it is. Avoid.

In between trains, this is a great option for a quick snack. Reasonably priced for London, very tasty food, some freshly made options while you wait. Mediterranean style, lots of Humus and Falafels etc. Quick and easy and a great change for Fast Foods.

Dropped in for lunch whilst at a Westminster Chapel just around the corner. The food was really good. Freshly prepared feel. We have Thai curry that waste nicely tasty yet not overpowering. Tap water freely available. Clean environment. Great service.

Delicious food and very healthy! I liked the hamburger with halloumi and avocado it's was very tasty. There are many healthy options and oven fries it's great!

Ainda tenho q ouvir q londres é cara. Nao mesmo. Leon é uma opcao maravilhosa para quem come bem, saudavel e com preço bem razoavel. Super indico

El personal parece enojado aparte de un hombre muy feliz - desgraciadamente me sirvió una airada señorita,

野菜が充実しており、しかもはやく持ち帰りができるということで、お店を見つけた時はいいお店を見つけたと思いました。夜はディナーでそれなりの食事をすることができましたが、昼はサンドウィッチがどうしても多くなってしまったので、冬の温かいカレーは沁みました。カリフラワーのゴビカレーを食べました。

Delicious food, interesting idea of fast food. I'm really impressed. Not boring fries and hamburgers but goos thai food for quick meal :)

Qué pena que esta cadena de restaurante sólo en el REINO UNIDO (y Amsterdam). El personal era agradable y simpático y la comida, madre mía. . . ! Elegimos tres tipos de comida (dos de ellos ensaladas) y todo era fantástico y delicioso. Me sentía tan bien que estábamos buscando otro león inmediatamente al día siguiente en el aeropuerto.

Fui a coger algo de comida agradable ir la semana pasada, porque el día anterior probé otro León, con mi amigo y fue increíble (Cruce de Brent). .

Manger sain, rapide pour ne pas perdre trop de temps, Léon répond à ces critères. Une restauration, d'origine méditeranéene, rapide qui respecte le naturel et les bons principes nutritionnels. Des informations précise sont données sur chaque produit.

It's a joy everytime I go there, the service is amazing and fast, food as quantity and quality ratio to price si best so thank you Leon !

I just love the food at this fast food place. Today we had a wobbly table so our drinks spilt but were quickly replaced Great fresh food

Me voy a León cada día y me encanta todo, el batido verde es increíble, la tostada es la mejor tostada marrón que he probado, muy densa, de hecho, es tan agradable que tienen todos los días! La envoltura haloumi es otra envoltura favorito y el dedo, si te gusta el pescado brownies tienes que probar el Brownie pecan mejor! (chocolate y naranja) he tenido un montón de brownies en mis tiempos y este es el mejor con diferencia!

Este es novia cielo! Mi hija de 10 años que es celiaca encantó esta cadena que nos encontramos cerca de nuestro hotel. Hay ubicaciones en todo Londres con docenas de opciones gf (le encantaba el Marroquí albóndigas) y patatas fritas y postres. novia Visitamos el S. Kensington West End y los lugares también por solo en ellos, en nuestros viajes a lugares. Ella un león y conseguir tan emocionado que tenía que llevarla a conseguir algo. Siempre deliciosa, confiable y seguro servicio. Me gustaría abrir puntos de venta en los Estados Unidos!

Me gusto mucho si estas arto de hamburguesa es buena opción, platos con buen sabor y cantidad suficiente, no olvidando que es comida rápida.

Não perca, uma vez em Londres, tem que ir ao LEON Café - O café e os doces e pães são excelentes.

Catena molto carina, serve prodotti biologici molto buoni che vanno dal kebab alle patate fritte per arrivare a insalate leggere e gustose ma anche polpettine di carne accompagnate da verdure e quinoa ancora più buoni. Abbiamo pranzato qui una volta e una seconda volta in un altro locale della stessa catena, non spendendo mai più di 15 £ totali (in 2), prendendo una porzione e bevanda a testa! È un peccato che non sia arrivato ancora in Italia!

ロンドン市内観光の途中に立ち寄りました。スウィートポテト&オクラシチューを頼んで、2人でシェアしました。4.9ポンドでした。日本人には、2人でシェアで丁度良かったです。このファーストフードは、今回の英国観光では、よく見かけました。

Me encanta la comida orgánica saludable saludable! Me pilla este lugar con mi pareja y tuvimos que tener! Gran variedad de comida saludable pero deliciosa! Tenemos un cordero kofta, con ganas de probar los dulces fritas y okra pot estofado! ! Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera que le guste la comida sana o buscando algo diferente!

There are only few vegetarian options. I tried the one with falafel and was seriously disappointed. The idea of the restaurant is nice (healthy fast food), but the food my wasn't very good.

Au niveau de la gare de Victoria où d'autres enseignes existent, le petit fast food Leon a une touche britannique agréable. Les hamburgers sont bons, plutôt qualitatifs et l'ambiance est plus conviviale que chez les concurrents.

What a great find! Why don't we have this in the US??? Perfectly portioned healthy breakfast, great concept! I had the smoked salmon with avocado and egg pot and it was the best way to start the day without feeling sluggish from too much food.

No sabíamos qué era este lugar cuando llegamos (especie de sana concpet de comida rápida con 50 de estos en Londres) y estábamos muy bien sorprendido. Gran selección de comida y tan sabroso! En el desayuno probamos muffins (ambos excelentes) y gachas, laters volvimos y probamos pollo burger y algunos caliente fuerte. No podríamos estar happeir whit este restaurante, la comida era tan lleno de sabor, sino también luz y bastante saludable. También apreciamos el agua gratis en el restaurante. Realmente recomiendo!

Situado en un lugar concurrido, el servicio de comida es bastante rápido. Hay una buena selección de alimentos para elegir. Este es más un restaurante estilo para llevar con la comida ya preparados y empaquetados en cajas listas para ir. Hay al menos 50 asientos en la planta baja y la primera planta. Me gustaría aioli fuerte caliente de pollo tiernos. El sabor era un poco sosa. El precio por la cantidad parece ser alta.

it's a good place for a quick meal. food is nice and you can eat in. comfortable and clean. also the bill comes out at a very nice level. I had the burger (ok), the hummus (also ok), the fries (had better elsewhere)

Questa catena è perfetta per una veloce pausa pranzo. Si può risparmiare un po' e serve cibo un po' diverso, speziato e buono. Il servizio inoltre è super rapido. Consigliato.

La comida no es buena y tampoco es barata, aunque Tampoco es cara.

The staff at Leon are super efficient and the food is super tasty. I have 2 children that can't eat gluten and they have a great range of interesting options.

Ate here on a Thursday evening, quiet, order very quickly taken and quick service. Excellent food, not the cheapest place but well worth the money.

In a city with good cafes everywhere, their coffee still stands out. I frequented the cafe at High Street Kensington Station, sadly that outlet still doesn't have a TripAdvisor page. Enthusiastic young friendly teams, great healthy interesting breakfast options.

Comimos en dos ocasiones en este local. Franquicia de comida rápida pero más sana. Platos variados y con un toque de sabor mediterráneo.

Pedimos la hamburguesa satay que no estaba mal pero para costar unas 6 libras el tamaño dejaba que desear. También una ensalada de quinoa, que era normalita. Para salir del paso no está mal pero tampoco es gran cosa.

Vi varios Leon restaurantes. Este es el paseo situado al otro lado Colonnade mini diminuto dentro del centro comercial.

Antes de nuestra visita a Londres, varios restaurantes investigando en la zona de Westminster y victoria. Por alguna razón nunca llegaron a León en mi investigación. Después de caminar por una calle de León (victoria) varias veces, finalmente nos decidimos a probarlo: servicio rápido, la comida sabrosa y saludable, precios razonables, entorno tranquilo y agradable. Volveremos la próxima vez que estemos en Londres! !

Nunca he comido o tenían comida de un león antes. Fue encantador. El menú es estupendo y saludable y tanto en la tienda y en línea le indica cuántas calorías están en cada plato.

Leon was what I expected fast food with a healthy choice .over priced on some things .as its new things seen ok .bright decor that gives you a headache .not sure if I want this food more than once a mouth if else where is full.

I had a meal at this place and the food was average served in box, even though I lunched there. Nothing great, but an average place to go to if you don't have a better place to go to.

Entramos a comer en esta cadena por estar en nuestro camino. Lo había visto en alguna ocasión y me dio curiosidad.

Their coffee is really good and their chocolate croissants are served warm! They're quick to serve you as well.

He estado aquí tres veces y para ser honestos, no es la mejor. Sé que el personal está ocupado pero no me agrada llevar gritó o roto en si tengo una pregunta. La comida está sobrevalorado y por el precio no tienen un sabor tan bueno. Hay mejores lugares en la zona para el almuerzo.

Stopped to taste then flavours available and was not disappoint quick and easy selections. Staff attentive and prices displayed so no surprises. Easy access and seating fine

ロンドン市内にあるチェーン店。米が食べたくなりここで食事。味も美味しく価格も高くないので、とてもありがたいお店です。

Delicious food, really didn't expect such good quality for a decent price! Considered as 'fast food' but on a healthier option. Staff were friendly and welcoming despite being such as busy lunch hour. Cant wait to return!
