Napa Bar and Kitchen in Leeds

This place closes down on Sunday 21st July to be taken over by new management and rebranded.

Just called for drinks nice place

A group of us went for a mid morning breakfast after some boxing. The location and venue are excellent. Also everyone enjoyed their food so I'd definitely recommend a visit.

Came here with friends for a bottomless brunch and we had the best time! Please feedback to our waiter Harrison who couldn't do enough to ensure our group had the best time!! I highly recommend the bottomless brunch - food and drinks are an amazing value!

Lovely bar, good food, fast service. Efficient and fast bar service, Omari was super helpful

Great food, will be back next time i'm in Leeds

Banyan been one of my favourite place since I moved from Paris,we live in Roundhay for 10 years and been to banyan few times but unfortunately today we had worst experience ever,terrible service,rude staff and not happy about the food what we ordered.its shame cause every time the sunshine out we have been there but from tonight it ll be in my blacklist places 😶

The staff was rude and served us the wrong food. Instead of rectifying the mistake and bringing us what we ordered and paid for, they accused us of lying. The other manager was more understanding and apologized, but being called liars was a horrible experience. We paid for food that we never received. This used to be our go-to place, but not anymore. I feel attacked and treated terribly.

I like banyan bar and kitchen. Always feel comfortable there. Good size of the bar. Always clean, nice comfortable tables, amazing salads and salmon. Good beers and big space to seat outside. Staff is very nice and friendly

Love the ambience and the staff are fantastic!

We came for quiz night on Thursday hosted by the amazing Grace! We may have come dead last but had a banging night regardless!

We went to Banyan for brunch. We shared a small plate of King Prawn Spring Rolls which were really good and then had a main each: Chicken Skewer (with salad) and Alpine Chicken Schnitzel. The plates are generous and the food is delicious. Although there are a lot of fattening options in the menu, this option seems relatively low on calory intake and it's nice and juicy. The service was totally impersonal but fast. Apparently, half of the place was hired for a babyshower, so it became more and more noisy. Apart from that it's a good place for families too (we saw kids get colouring sheets and crayons) and it's spacious.

Could possibly do with a wider range of draft beers but a very well appointed modern bar with good service and atmosphere and sheltered outside seating. Haven't eaten there for a while but the food is pretty reliable, too.

Menu was uninspiring, menu items were overpriced and my companion reported that the ladies toilet lacked basic items e.g. water, tissue etc. Definitely no plans to return.

Good food sadly cold Yorkshire pudding but still enjoyable

Can be busy but good atmosphere with it

Just excellent customer service 👌🏿

I’ve been several times before and had a pleasant experience but my most recent visits have been very disappointing. The quality of food has gone from bad to worse, it used to be so flavourful and delicious and now it’s undercooked and bland. My last few visits there were missing ingredients to my order, food wasn’t cooked properly and tasted like it had been rushed. I noticed that when it’s quiet the food is good but when it’s busy there’s always an issue with the food.

Good food. Excellent services 👌

Had a lovely catch up with a friend here and enjoyed some light bites. The food was nice, very well presented and tasty. We were drinking and chatting so we upted for several sides. The service was brilliant staff were friendly welcoming and helpful. It was quiz night so we opted to join in just for fun came last! But had a great laugh losing. 😂

Lovely atmosphere, great service and good food, hard to come by all 3 these days

Slow service barman busy on his phone. Waited 10 minutes for some service

Very helpfull staff and lovely pub. We were to late for food but looked like a really nice place to eat.

The staff where lovely. Me and my friend ordered the French toast and when it came the raspberries were mouldy on both plates. I was very disappointed as I had heard very good reviews about this place.

Great food and great price on January deal.

Always visit on our anniversary of our first date. Lovely venue, good food and friendly staff

Too expensive for the food I was given.

I ordered a blue steak...it turned out to be the dogs bollox...Also the drought beers are amazing...this place is ace and the staff are just wonderful and highly efficient.

Obviously, a very popular meeting and eating venue. The staff were really welcoming and seemed interested in us as customers - thank you. The food was good, but 3 of the things we tried to order were not available, which was disappointing.

It was nice enough but nothing special

Cheeky experience. Using traps in marketing.

Very quiet for a weekend evening so didn't stay long

Average, overpriced chain pub food.

Great 2 for 1 cocktails all day long 🍹🍸

Enjoyable setting, plenty to choose from on street lane but would recommend you give this place a go. Pricing is reasonable, quality can't be questioned though.

Brunch. I ordered 2 poached eggs with hollandaise sauce. I asked for them to be very well done. The eggs were semi raw inside. I asked for the dish to be re done and yes the eggs were cooked but tiny and tasteless and the 1 piece of toast was cold and hard and the hollandaise sauce tasted of nothing. The staff were “polite” but didn’t care. The others said their meals were bland and the coffee drinks sizes very small. Also the kids had ice cream and it looked as though it had melted and been re frozen. We won’t be returning.

Had a fantastic time at Banyan for my friends birthday. Excellent service, tasty food & great wine! Thank you Grace for looking after us!

Thank you Grace & Steph for making my birthday celebrations excellent. There’s nowhere better to spend time with your friends, beautiful wine, delicious food and the staff make the whole experience amazing

Staff are brilliant, shame about my friends! Amazing Grace thank you for looking after us!

The staff are lovely and the food is excellent very relaxing ambience

Shocking service at banyan from start to finish, the front desk told us they had no tables and that we wanted to use a voucher we would have to call and book when we called another colleague said you can just walk in?! Zero communication between staff I originally asked for the salmon the colleague came over after 20 mins and said they dont have it. I then change to another meal was bland tasteless burnt chips. I then spoke to another colleague who said oh yes we do have the salmon what a ridiculous communication and service that they dont know whats available what kind of hospitality is that?! I was so furious I didnt eat for the rest of the day! Bad wont be returning anytime soon!

The vegan burger was small any smaller and it would be a child's portion. Everything else was good.

Great place to sit out and enjoy a few drinks/cocktails and a meal. The food is simple but tasty.

Had a lovely lunchtime meal and pint, sitting outside on a lovely sunny day.

Called in for a couple of beers late on Saturday night. A lively, slightly rowdy atmosphere and decent beer.

Excellent visit today, lovely place, friendly staff, good food!

Sunday roast. Uncooked veg. Took ages. Just one slice of beef.

Always a top spot for Sunday lunch

Brilliant service. Excellent pie and chips

Birthday event. Food was nice, staff very helpful and accommodating

Updated review Food has improved massively. It is just the portions are a little small and quite expensive unless you take advantage of a deal day etc. Service was good with the waiting staff being really attentive and helpful.

A tad on the costly side, but nice. Went for someone's surprise birthday breakfast. Would go again.

Ordered burgers here with friends, very happy!!!

Lovely food, great service & nice atmosphere. Will defo be going again.

Went for a few drinks with a mate, good atmosphere and music, didn't order any food but it looked nice coming past our table 👀 I'll definitely be coming back for a taste of the menu, some nice burgers Went past!

Love this spot, like to go for a selection of sides, or the sharing platter for 2.

Lovely atmosphere & ambiance! Sean gets 10/10 for service with a lovely smile ☺️

I love it. Nice place, lovely food

Came for drinks ordered a couple of starters…. Macaroni cheese and Crispy duck Bao bun…The Macaroni was worse than a bad microwave meal option…and the Christy duck Bao bun was a slimey mess..both in uneatable…disgusting

Cocktails and Mocktails are great 🙌🏾🙌🏾 nice atmosphere too

Wow. Miserable staff. Started with insisting I couldn’t stay in the building at 10:29am until they open at 10:30am. Then before even ushering a hello or welcome they insist on telling me I can’t order breakfast until 11am. Delightful experience.

CHRISTMAS BURGER Pork and chorizo burger with sage & onion stuffing, pigs in blankets, Monterey Jack cheese, mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, & onion rings…. Yuletidely Scrumptious 🎄🍔🎅🏼

Come here all the time. Offering 50% discount on a Thursday, but totally under staffed and waited over 1 and half hours for food which we ended up cancelling due to the wait. Felt sorry for the staff 2 waiters and staff 1 chef! Poor service would rather pay full price for a better service!

I have been to this specific Banyan 2 or 3 times before and never had a problem. Today I went with 4 of my friends. They had breakfast and I waited until 12 for ‘Non-breakfast’ One of them got the ‘French toast’ it was 9 odd quid and it was literally one piece of average size brioche and some fruit. Livid. 3 of us ordered a smoothie and we battle through the whole thing as there were so many lumps that keeps clogging the straw and it tasted of nothing. I then got the chicken pasta and this was bland as anything. So bland. And then. To top it all off. The side of Mac and cheese. This was the saddest mac and cheese I’ve ever had. It tasted just like the dehydrated stuff you pour hot water on and let it ‘cook’ it was also over seasoned with pepper. I was so disappointed.

It's ok for drinks, bar men could do to put a bit more effort l, but a few poor meals over the past year means we go elsewhere now for food, overpriced and bland.

We waited awhile for the meal. Also no onion rings with the steak, although they did offer something else.

CHRISTMAS BURGER Pork & chorizo burger, sage & onion stuffing, pig in blanket, Monterey Jack cheese, mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, onion rings.

Loved my bottomless supper Cara & Harrison provided the best service too

This place has a lovely atmosphere with professional and friendly staff who were very attentive and willing to ensure that we were most comfortable. They gladly relocated us within the restautrant as a member of my party needed extra support as a result of her less obvious disability. The food was well presented and absolutely delicious and there were really good choices and a variety of food available on the menu. In spite of the fact that the place was very busy with lots of diners in to watch the football, the staff did check us often to make sure that we were ok, comfortable and satisfied with our meals. My friend was there before and recommended the restaurant and I certainty was not disappointed. I will definitely be going there again in the future.

Friendly, helpful staff, good food, nice atmosphere.

Nice bit of lunch..No complaints...7.99 offer

Had a really great time with friends at banyan last night! Drinks are strong and worth the money especially with 2 for 1 to say how busy staff were i think the speed of the drinks was reasonable! Had a lovely encounter with grace who I believe to be the manager! I will definitely be back again soon 😊

We booked a table to celebrate my daughter birthday my Grandson and I was 1st to arrive about 8 15 we ordered coffee while we waited my phone rang my daughter told me what they wanted ask to place order the guy said kitchen closed it was 2min past 8 30 pm we couldn't I was not impressed they knew we booked to eat sorry but the black guy never explained or apologie we left there was gonna be 10 in our party disgusting there was few people but not loads.

I came tonight with friends that I used to work with in the area and we have been to Banyan many times. Tonight wasn't the best experience I've had. The service was very slow and the food was very cold. We got no apology from the members of staff that served us. When it came to the bill, they over charged us, 2 of the meals were ordered off the £7.99 all day menu but charged full price. The quality of food was horrible and I certainly will not be going back there.

I saw a waitress drop a knife and put it back on the table and seat customers at the table WITHOUT changing the knife! I asked them to set new clean cutlery out. Customers who were seated after us got their food first and the waitress was awkward with us for some reason. Not coming again, my chicken was border line raw.

Lovely place to go for drinks. The staff there a so friendly. The food was amazing and will be a regular there.

Being a restaurant owner myself I was very disappointed. The roast potatoes were from frozen. The food took a long time to come, when I queried this I was advised it was being made from fresh. The food then arrived cold. The customer service is poor and food quality is disappointing to say it is a nicely design interior. I won't be returning.

Excellent service as always. Great Team 👍

Food can be over cooked and not to the customers liking. Would like to see more effort made to meet the customer's requirements for how the food is made. Also portion sizes are way to small for the price tag......THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED to get this spot moving in the right direction volumewise. To fully elaborate I visited your roundhay subsidiary with my guest who ordered a medium cooked steak with peppercorn sauce and a side of fries. When the medium cooked steak one side of the steak was black, completely overcooked and the taste of said steak was sharp, overcooked (chargrilled) and not fit for being consumed. I would expect in me raising this with you on this public platform for you to request further detail and to conduct and immediate investigation instead of me having to do further leg work to get the matter looked into by the correct department. This incident was disappointing to say the least and interupted the overall flow of the afternoon meal what started on a positive. Please feed this back to your teams so this does not happen again. Thank you.

DIARIES OF A FOOD BLOGGER! This Is my local and usually I love their food however I recently visited with a friend to order a medium cooked steak and to my disappointment it was served burnt. The waiter was apologetic and advised that I could order something else which is the least of what I would have expected to happen. They should have maybe offered me a complimentary drink as the experience and waiting around for my reorder to be cooked left a bad taste in my mouth.

Had a couple of burgers that were very average. Service seemed to be a bit all over the place. Unfortunately not sure I’ll be returning for food, drinks perhaps.

Relaxed and easy, the staff are amazing, really friendly and attentive. Bit pricey but food is decent and drinks are relatively nice. Good amount of space if you're with a large group!

No trackies after 9 but no pants after 12.

Not a bad place to go for Sunday lunch , beef was good , my son's vegetarian version (cauliflower cheese in a pie) was alright , a bit of a odd concept, mind. Artisan bread came with margarine masquerading as butter, come on banyan , we want real butter with our artisan bread !!

Nice food, drinks and atmosphere

The worst brunch ever. They made it twice and still bland and undercooked. Small portions, poor quality. Very poor value for money, won't be returning.

I came here while visiting family and I was pleasantly surprised, for such a simple chicken wrap it was absolutely delicious and you can never go wrong with a pot of tea.

In a short: NOT Good place for a burger It is OK for drinks Meat patty in burger was horrendous. Definitely won’t eat there again. Also waiting time for drinks was surprisingly long. Very average, sorry!

Always great service and staff! We love Scott!!!!

Breakfast today was disappointing. Cappuccino arrived tepid, tea for our guest arrived cold. Poached eggs were overcooked and pancakes were cold

Had breakfast today very disappointed, coffee lukewarm tea cold pancakes cold poached eggs, hard we did not enjoy it at all. Waitress informed and said chef said wasn’t having it, whatever that’s supposed to mean

Really let down, my wife and I always loved coming here but after been away for over 2yrs and coming back to BanYan it just isn't the same. The menu for food is limited and has changed since our last visit. Waited nearly 40 minutes between our starter and main,decided against the desert as we need to give our table up with a two hour time slot so felt rushed to eat and not just relax. Once ouer main arrived we was not offered any confectionery at all and the waiters fingers were touching the food on the plates. Overall disappointed in what was once our favourite place to eat and drink.

Music was too loud, slow service ,expensive , menu is limited ,I had the chicken skewers and they tasted horrible the salad was swimming in olive oil .I will not be going again

Decent enough food but music was too loud and staff were not on form, too many errors, prices steep for what is on offer.

Not tried the food but most of the staff have a poor attitude, not very helpful and poorly trained. It's an ok place if you want to sit outside and enjoy the weather but at more than £5 for a pint of lager, think I'll go down the road next time. At least the staff there know what they are selling.

I've had great experiences at Banyan in the past, but this Sunday was very disappointing. They didnt have half the food on the menu available. Service was slow and also disorganised.

Popped in for a coffee Always a good crowd. The outside terrace is a great spot to people watch

Overpriced, devoid of atmosphere full of people who think they're still young talking about the same inane things they were 30 years ago

My family and I ordered a platter that included shrimp spring rolls, samosas, onion bhaji's, green olives, roasted peppers, sliced carrots and cucumber, chicken skewers and naan (flat bread). It also included different flavoured sauses, such as, mint yogurt, sweet chilli, mango chutney and avocado. We also ordered a burger, sweet potatoes fries and house fries. Overall, I loved my experience at Banyan and will definitely go back again!
