Moreno's in Leeds

The restaurant was quiet and would have benefited from more visitors. It certainly deserves them! Food was fantastic, starters all delicious (king prawns and meatballs in particular) and each of the main courses were lovely. My lamb tagine was perfection and the pizza was both soft and crispy - perfect texture and very tasty. Everything was well priced considering quality. Service was prompt and super friendly. Will be back!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and really nice fresh food!

Amazing food. So good and lovely people. You must go there.

Visited here tonight (06/09/24) with partner, son and daughter in law. The food was absolutely delicious. Very authentic tasting. Along with a great friendly atmosphere. The service was fantastic , We recently returned from a trip to marakech in Morocco so thought we'd try a Moroccan restaurant We weren't disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. All 4 of us will definitely be returning here. Can't wait !!!

I've been here several times with my partner, they serve all sorts of Mediterranean food, including Moroccan and Italian, the Chicken Morrocaine is particularly good while my partner enjoys their ratatouille and vegan tagine. It's consistently great food and the chef often comes out to chat, he buys fresh food locally and will adapt the food to what is in season and looks good quality. The restaurant is family run and it has really friendly service. It's also affordable and with a lovely atmosphere. My parents also loved it when we brought them. It's right near Temple Newsam so ideal if you've been to the park or house to stop off for dinner on the way home.

Delicious food and very friendly service, my partner and I have been several times and it's consistently good

Food really good. Service excellent Staff very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend.

Food was outstanding, staff were so friendly, Thankyou so much guys

Went to celebrate my birthday with my family last night. Everything was fabulous. We were all extremely happy with our food. All fresh and cooked to order. Lovely ambience and the staff were so friendly. Shout out to Zara thank you lovely. We will definitely be back! Will be highly recommended! Thank you for a lovely evening.

Lovely family run restaurant with beautifully presented tasty food. We had a fab night the place had a great energy enjoyed by all

We stopped by this evening with our young children. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and warm. Our young children 1 and 3 loved the childrens pasta and meatballs whilst my husband and I enjoyed delicious authentic home cooked food! I can’t wait to back again soon. Really recommend and can’t believe we haven’t visited sooner

We visited as a family group after a day out at Temple Newsam and enjoyed the food very much. They catered well for 12, including children. Friendly staff.

What a wonderful family run restaurant with beautiful food I would definitely recommend this place and will be returning soon

My partner and I went for the first time to Morenos even though we have lived in the area all our lives! God knows how we have missed this little gem! The food was to absolutely to die for and the service was second to none! Such a beautiful home ran restaurant! Lucky forward to returning back here soon! Would highly recommend!

I have been a Spanish chef for 14 years and I am a very gourmet. But I found this site highly recommended. A familiar and pleasant atmosphere Homemade and very good food Friendly and friendly staff The owner is very friendly I will return without a doubt And I will recommend it Thank the entire Moreno's team for good service and very good, homemade food 🙏❤️ See you soon boys

I initially just wanted to find a nearby restaurant, and I stumbled upon this one. It turned out to be really delicious! There was a pleasant surprise in the taste, and the prices were also very reasonable

We were pleasantly surprised when the owner, aware of our guest's birthday, personally brought out a delicious cake, making the occasion even more special

Literally just come back from the best night out I’ve had in a long time! We arrived early and were seated straight away and the staff had the menus ready and drinks at the table in mere minutes. Honestly, it was that quick! We had a mix of tapas/starters and a main and each dish was a culinary delight. Seriously, I couldn’t fault a single part of the food. It was what you hope for from Michelin restaurants: homey atmosphere, good food and staff who are there at the drop of a hat. I wish I’d taken pictures of each dish because they were presented beautifully and you could tell the chef had put a lot of effort into getting it just right and the flavours, my god the flavours, they were mind blowing. I personally recommend the Steak Diane because that was truly melt in the mouth gorgeous and the peppercorn sauce was divine. I haven’t had peppercorn sauce that good since Hard Rock Cafe was still in Leeds which should give you a clue as to how nice it was. If you’re looking for a restaurant that can cater to a variety of tastes, makes sure everything is as you like it and are friendly and cheerful to boot, I can’t recommend Moreno’s highly enough. 10/10 will be back again and will be telling all my friends and family about it because this is truly a hidden gem!

We are fans of North African cuisine - the food was OK but nothing to write home about. The service was not good. We like to take our time with a meal - order slowly if we want, and enjoy our conversation. The waiter (who said he was the owner) got distinctly annoyed with us when we hadn't chosen our food order within five minutes of arriving. "Order in two minutes please!" he barked. Also he was dressed as though he'd come in from an afternoon of gardening! Going out to eat isn't just about food, it's about taking the time to enjoy an evening in good company. Good service is about encouraging that atmosphere. Strangely, once we'd ordered, he wasn't attentive. We had to get out of our seats to ask for another drink, and also at the end of the meal to find him so we could pay our bill. The restaurant was pretty much empty on a Friday night. Not much of an ambience, and the Aerosmith playing quite loudly didn't help either. It's hard to know why he was hurrying us - maybe he just wanted to close early on a wash-out evening.

Always a great place to eat. Affordable lovely food and great people that own it. We recommend 👌 x

We have been wanting to visit here for ages and tonight we finally got the chance. We called the restaurant and asked if they had a table free, the owner said they had just had a cancellation. When we arrived we were greeted by the most friendliest staff, the owner and his son. Fast service and very attentive. We ordered a couple of light starters, the aubergine bruschetta and hummus with pittas and olives. Tasted absolutely beautiful! For the mains we ordered pepperoni pizza and chicken and apricot tajine. Wow just lovely authentic cooked food. We will absolutely be going back again very soon! The owners are so lovely and welcoming. Thanks for having us!

Celebrated my sisters 40th birthday here and can’t say a bad thing about the place! Great staff and service, Amazing food! 10/10 will recommend!

I was passing through and came across this inconspicuous restaurant. Definitely a recommendation! I had a good chat with the owner and he gave me a few tips for my road trip. And the food first, it was very tasty. 😋 I will definitely come back again. Greetings from Germany 😊

Absolutely fantastic meal, the food was incredible & Jamal our server was amazing. Thank you all for a brill night

Came here for my dads birthday, food was delicious!! Can tell all freshly made. Had the patatas bravas and the penne moreno and they were amazing, really good portions. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be coming again.

We visited Morenos this evening and had a superb meal, Calamari and lamb skewers as starters and Lamb Moreno for main with ice cream and coffee to finish. It was a very good experience. The food was exceptional and the service was first class throughout. We were greeted and warmly welcomed, through the evening Moreno and his young waiter were kind and attentive and above all welcoming and friendly. It was without doubt the best meal we have had in a long time. Thank you everyone at Morenos

Visited mid-week, restaurant was very quiet, ordered a selection of various tapas. Food was beautifully presented and delicious. Staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgable. Will definitely return.

Incredible night as always, Owners son is so attentive and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Food is delicious 😋 one of our favourites!

Incredible food which was topped by such amazing and welcoming staff, will definitely be returning with the whole family! Recommending to all my friends. Thank you so much for a great evening!!!

Group of 17 ladies, all eating different things, different dietary needs. Staff were amazing, don't know how they managed! The food was beautiful, how often do you get so many and not one complaint. Thank you, we are coming again!

영국음식에 좀 질려서 색다른 음식을 찾다가 들르게 되었어요.저희가 시킨 음식들이 다 맛있고 직원분들의 고객응대도 아주 좋았어요.주인이 모로코분이고 굉장히 친절하고 유쾌하신 분이셔서 저희가 정말 좋은 시간을 보냈답니다.

Fabulous food! A lovely family business and very welcoming. Definitely a hidden gem.

Lovely food, lovely staff and lovely outdoor space.

Lovely food and staff, thank you 💗🌸

Came here tonight for our tea with 8 others the restaurant was very busy but it didn't disappoint! Reasonably priced .. amazing freshly cooked food and the staff go above and beyond especially Jamal & Hassan. 5 stars to the chef!

Back again to my favourite restaurant, as always it didn't disappoint. I had the chicken a la morrocain and it was delicious, I didn't even need a knife the chicken was so tender. Jamal and Hassan are great hosts, always polite and friendly. Hopefully back soon to this family run restaurant.

Amazing food! Compliments to the chef! Hassan and Jamal are a credit to the restaurant. Its our first time dining here and definitely will not be our last! Thank you so much for making my Son feel special on his birthday.

Excellent customer service especially from Jamal very warm and friendly welcome. Food was great we will definitely be back!

Amazing food, literally the most mouth watering tasty food I've had every time I come. The sangria is amazing too, 100% recommend this restaurant. Staff are so friendly and the owner is even in and around to say hi which Ive never had at any other restaurant!

Absolutely love this place. The place is run by a lovely family, always welcoming and happy to see you. The food is outstanding, I've never had a better meal anywhere.

Over priced and very disappointing tapas, the calamari was awful and tasted like a frozen packet meal, also two chicken kebabs with 3 small chunks of meat on each skewer and the majority of the plate filled with a simple salad, consisting of mostly lettuce, all of the other tapas didn't taste freshly made but frozen or re-heated tinned food products. Nice people, but we ultimately went for a nice meal. Cost wasn't initially an issue, but bad value for your money in this difficult economic climate makes everything much worse.

This evening was the 1st time me and my partner visited Moreno's, it was so delicious, the king prawn starter was to die for!!!! Literally the best starter I've EVER had!!! The whole service from start to finish was fab, it was a nice polite young man who served us, very attentive and well mannered, we will look forward to returning! Thank you so much! That king prawn starter though 👌 wow!

Fabulous small family owned & Run establishment,so much more than the big chain restaurants that are ten a penny . You can see the difference in every aspect as in the way they treat every customer as one of their own family .Food is excellent with a good choice with something for everyone without the menu being too extensive . A memorable evening out in a relaxed atmosphere.

Great food and service. We were the only table seated, so the atmosphere was all of our making.

Really lovely staff. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was great. A great place to dine or host a party.

This is such a lovely restaurant. There is an extensive menu so there is something for everyone and there are different spice options which is wonderful. When the food came it was fresh and hot and tasted incredible. The young server that was working welcomed us with warm greetings and was incredibly attentive the whole time we were there. The staff all made themselves available for if we needed anything. It was a lovely experience all round.

Great food and great service. Ran by a lovely family who were very welcoming, 10/10. Would 100% recommend, thank you x

Went here tonight with my friend Gemma . We didn’t want large meals so we chose 5 tapas ( approx 6/7 £ each to share and a bottle (£18 ish ) for wine . The service we received was excellent the young lad (jamiala , not sure or spelling) was an absolute gem. He was so attentive and made sure were had all we asked for .. he’s an asset to this business. The owner came to see if we were all ok etc etc . The food taste fresh and vibrant. This was our 1st visit and I can assure anyone reading this….it won’t be our last .. the tagines ( about £16 / £18 each ) that were served on other tables look fab so next time I will have one . And I have to add the back ground music was just up my street . So all in all .. great service great ambience great fun night . Well done you guys xxxxxx

Moreno's Moroccan Restaurant ever!! Tonight we took the plunge and went for our date night close to home and do you know what I'm so glad we did they gave us a nice warm welcoming, the food was amazing! Very well presented too! In all fairness a 5* from me, and to top it off it was cheap too what more could you possibly ask for. Thank you 😊

Wow! A lovely little find. Food was tasty and plentiful. We had the Lamb Moreno and pallea, really friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Thank you for our first experience here.

Lovely food in a nice restaurant served by friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Excellent food ,, lovely place too , been meaning to go for years and worth the wait. We will return 😃

Used to go here when it was a parade of shops, over 50 years ago and have wanted to go to Morenos for 20 years. Gave it a try, on a quiet night when only two tables occupied. I got a vegan tagine, which was extortionate in price for what I got. It was nice but would not have filled me up if I had not had a salad to start. The ice cream, however, was huge and I could not eat it all. Nice to step down memory lane and the staff were very nice, if you informally dressed for my liking. The owner also gave my sister her best perm hair cut years ago, and he asked me if I was out with my mother so got my vote of confidence, my sister was not impressed at his mistake 😂. A really enjoyable night, just expensive.

Nice pizzas. Unfortunately it went under. The food was good although the lighting was a bit on the clinical side. On the plus side it’s reopened as an Italian and the pizza oven is still there.

Brilliant home cooked food and really nice relaxed atmosphere. The owners and the staff were superb.

Great food in a family atmosphere.

We live nowhere near this excellent Moroccan restaurant but visit when we can for the best North African hospitality around (tapas etc also available). Despite an absence of several years, Hassan remembered us and welcomed us warmly as always. The tagines are spot-on and they also have a good selection of Moroccan wines. Looking forward to next time...

Fabulous restaurant, highly recommended. Staff exceptionally friendly, fantastic food , meatball tagine amazing , a little glass of your favourite drink and cake for the birthday person whilst all singing Happy Birthday . Will definitely be returning and recommending to all family and friends

The food selection was great. The portion and quality perfect. We (a party of 4) all enjoyed it and will be returning

Good food at good prices, with friendly staff . Turn the heating up tho!

We loved Moreno's. Great service. All the food was delicious! Go and support a great local restaurant...

40th birthday celebrations last night. Never experienced better service, staff friendliness and food quality actually anywhere. Absolutely amazing. Highly Recommend! We shall be back early in the new year. Thank you on behalf of all of our party.

Fab family run restaurant with amazing food. Really friendly, great quality and reasonably priced too. Love their signature lamb dish.

What can I say. From the welcome smile as we arrived from a wonderful host, right through to a handshake (covid friendly) as we left. Food amazing. Value for money amazing. Host amazing. We will be back. Ps try the chicken and apricot tagine. OUT OF THIS WORLD

This was our second visit. The food is pretty good but the Staff weren’t happy this time that we ordered so many different tapas dishes. There were 5 of us in total and wanted to try different dishes and thought that was the point with tapas?! On this basis we won’t be returning.

Absolutely hands down the best Tagine you’ll have in Leeds and possibly the North! Run by a lovely family and they make sure it’s as authentic as it can get. It’s got a great selection of Mediterranean items too if Tagine isn’t your thing but you must try it if you haven’t had one before as it’s an amazing trip to Morocco via the food!

Our family organised a joint 70th birthday celebration for me and my husband at this lovely restaurant. There were 12 of us spanning 3 generations. The service was great, all our food was served at the same time and not one of us could find fault with any of the dishes. The staff were friendly and attentive. All in all we couldn't have asked for better and if we didn't live so far away in Sussex it would certainly become a firm favourite of ours. I know that both of my sons and their families will definitely return.

excellent food lovely place friendly definitely recommend this local business

Good food good service and good price

Welcoming and friendly. Service was good.

Really enjoyed our starters & mains,was full then surprised when they came out with a piece of gateau & ice cream with a candle in for my birthday.Thank you Morenos.

That is a so nice a cosy place. You feel so welcome in an environments that looks like a small restourant in Greece. The staff is so polite and nice and the manager is such a kind person. The food is really good, properly cooked. Fried calamari, patata bravas as well. Good portion for price. Some main course are just bit overpriced but the taste is fantastic. The chef knows what he is doing. Really raccomended.

We chose Morenos at random while staying nearby. Unpretentious but friendly, it provided just the right atmosphere for a quiet meal after a long and difficult drive - and the food was mouth-watering. I had Moroccan spiced chicken wings followed by lamb morenos: chunks of lamb cooked in spices with new potatoes. Both delicious. My wife had prawns followed by seafood paella, which were equally good. The house wine was, well, house wine, but pleasant. Thoroughly recommended and we hope to be back next time we are in the area ,

Our first visit to Moreno's. Excellent food & very friendly staff. We shall definitely be going back.

Car parking is easy. You get a warm welcome from Hassan the owner and his staff, nothing is too much trouble. The menu is full of tasty sounding dishes, it's difficult to decide what to have. When the food arrives it is beautifully presented and tastes amazing. Cannot praise this place enough. It's a shame that I can't give it 6 stars, or more!

Lovely meal on the beautiful terrace. HOST and staff were briliant

Arrived at 5.30 ordered a starter to share and a main course each. 30 minutes later the starter Arrived with one main course. Sent the main back so we could eat the starter garlic bread pizza. Couldn't eat it it was hard and struggled to cut it never mind chew it. Sent it back a other one came and it was just the same. After almost half an hour later we hadn't received the main. It was now 6.45 we were very Disappointed so told them we were leaving and offered to pay for our drinks (the diet coke we had ordered was real coke so we had Sent that back) Considering our experience we were amazed the took the money for our drinks. There was only one person front of house trying to do everything. Considering it was full and everyone had booked there should have been more staff As we were leaving we were informed our main courses had been given to another table We wouldn't return

We loved are visit to morenos for Father’s Day, as the food was amazing!! The service is brilliant so friendly and warm welcoming.. Please try the paella as it’s out of this world!!!!

Great place , food good staff excellent. Definitely recommend.

Great food and service Reasonably priced

So glad we booked here for food. Top service, delicious food & the staff really looked after us. Our 2 children aged 10 & 3 absolutely loved it, saying it was the best meat balls they've ever had. Will definitely reccomended & return when next in Leeds. Thank you

First time here last night and will definitely be going back. We were treated like friends, service was fab, food was amazing, steak Diane was one of the best I’ve had. Ended up drinking with people we didn’t even know and had one of the best nights out in a long time. Will be trying their pizza next as their pizza chef is one of the best, apparently. Excellent food and not expensive either. Very friendly and welcoming. Loved it. Thanks for the blankets, kept us nice and cosy sitting outside.

Outstanding service from the owner and staff, and really beautiful food. Our party of six had various dishes between us, a children's portion of spaghetti, multiple tapas dishes and pizzas. All delicious, freshly cooked and presented well. The outdoor terrace has ample seating (as well as seating indoors) and the restaurant is ideally located for a meal after a day at Temple Newsham, as well as being really family friendly. Highly recommended and we will definitely return.

All staff were lovely & food was great too. Will be back!

This is one of my favourite restaurants. The Taglines are to die for! I can't wait to eat here again. The owner is lovely too.

Great food.. Lovely host can't wait to go back and try some more of the menu. X

Amazing restaurant 👌 this was our first visit and we'll be back for sure. Hassan was a fabulous host and made our night.

We had the best tagine, absolutely amazing. The service was lovely and the gentleman kept joking with us and made us laugh. We will be back for sure.

Top food and service! Also must add they were very accomodating to our 3 month old son. Will definitely eat here again!

We visit this restaurant frequently and having tried a few different items off the menu we have always had an outstanding meal. The food is absolutely incredible and the couple of own the restaurant lovely and incredibly helpful. We will continue to visit here and a few meals for your to try, meatballs tagine, lasagne, lamb, tapas all of which can be highly recommended

Food was excellent with great friendly service. Loved the tortilla starter and lamb meatball tagine...

Excellent food, excellent service! Spicy liver amazing! My sister's wedding anniversary , they are from Oxford, and went home very happy! Thankyou for a lovely experience!!!

Lovely restaurant, amazing food, lovely friendly staff, will definitely be coming back👍🏽 Thankyou x

Comida y servicio increíbles con la familia. Los 5 tuvimos una comida genial y el dueño es encantador. Hemos estado aquí un par de veces y ¡volveremos! 3 tenía terrinas que se veían increíbles y 2 de nosotros tomamos tapas, que era encantador. Definitivamente lo recomendaré.

Love it here. Friendly good service and good food

Family night out, good menu, lovely food nice atmosphere.

Omg why have I waited so long to come back to morenos the food and the staff amazing so welcoming and the food is 5 star I have been 5 times in the last 3 weeks ace!! 👌🏼

What a lovely night, Nice hosts Nice meal and lovely Rośe wine Owners 25% discount was the double in the cream. We will be back, even after the offers hsve gone.

Decidimos aprovechar el plan y probar un nuevo lugar que a menudo hemos pasado y nos hemos imaginado, especialmente emocionados, ya que es la primera vez que cenamos fuera en casi seis meses. Tengo los champiñones al ajillo y lasaña, ambos acertaron. Otros en el grupo tenían comidas igualmente hermosas y deliciosas. Todo el personal conversó y nos hizo sentir muy bienvenidos. Este restaurante ciertamente tiene un ambiente cálido y acogedor. Definitivamente un lugar en mi lista de regreso. En términos de seguridad, está claro que están haciendo un esfuerzo adicional para que los clientes se sientan seguros. Controles de temperatura en la puerta, mesas bien dispuestas para distanciamiento social y desinfectante disponible gratuitamente. Todo el personal usaba protectores faciales y todos se sienten muy seguros, así que estoy feliz de darle a este lugar 5 estrellas. (Incluso daría más si estuvieran disponibles también)

Fantastic food and great service
