Piassa Bar & Restaurant in Leeds

I been with my wife today afternoon I ordered 2 key tbs and one takeaway ,it was like bad test and I couldn’t eat the food the takeaway as well .I have never come back this restaurant any more Because when you new go to the restaurant like they didn’t give you good service and good food, it is the worest 😨😨😨😨😨

First time eating Ethiopian food. Not my favourite cuisine but interesting nonetheless.

THE most delicious food you can imagine.

I cannot understand how this restaurant gets such high ratings, really unimpressed with the food, lamb was undercooked/tough all the food was Luke warm . Trying to get the waitress to understand dietary requirements almost impossible and service slow. And weirdly 2 of us had a sharing platter and they don't give you your own plate so i ended up having to put my food onto a paper napkin. I wouldn't normally bother reviewing but for this restaurant to have so many high reviews is madness

Really loved this restaurant first time trying Ethiopian Food and was so tasty. Only problems were bones in meat and a bit pricey but aside from this I loved this restaurant. Staff super friendly I was there for a good few hours. I hope to come back again thank you

Great value and delicious food! Good selection of meat and veg options. We got the sharing plate for 4 people and it was lovely - bit of everything to try! Staff were friendly too! Will be back for sure 👌🏼

Wonderful experience at Piassa. Enjoyed KazKazaa Habesha Beer... Family restaurant. Highly recommend

Very good Beyaynetu stew combo with njira bread. Recommended

Good food, Good service. Nice atmosphere

Wonderful atmosphere, excellent service, incredible food

Came because a friend wanted the vegan platter. She loved it. Enjoyed the crispy fried fish. Impeccable service in a pleasant and relaxed dining environment.

I promise you will not regret going here. Found this restaurant through the amazing Google reviews that mentioned the great vegan selection. The food itself was incredible, most delicious and unique flavours and such a great spread for vegans and veggies so will definitely be coming back! thank you so much!

We absolutely loved it here. The food was very tasty and the presentation was nice too. We’ll definitely come again.

Amazing food and friendly staff.

Payment by card is an option but one that was not offered!

Amazing atmosphere and vegetarian food

We came to here last night. I have never been before. You walk through the door and immediately taking in wonderful spices. The music isn’t too loud. The lighting is soft. Its a really nice environment to be in. The staff were really great, not pushy, just lovely people. We ordered two large platters, one meat and one vegan. The food was simply amazing. It was a feast and great value. A great place and excellent food. Thanks so much. Highly recommend.

Delicious food and excellent service. We had vegetarians and meat eaters in our party and everyone loved the food of which there was plenty. Every dish was flavoursome as was the coffee. Recommend and look forward to returning.

Delicious food nice and kind staff nice atmosphere 👌🏾 keep the top jop up

Delicious food and fantastic service. Great atmosphere to dine in. Really enjoyed my visit here.

We just had a wonderful dinner at Piassa! I knew from reviews to ask the owner for advice and he set us up with a platter for four including really good dishes and quality cuts of lamb and beef and some vegetarian sides. Some dishes spicier and some milder with great flavor and seasonings. The bread it came with was also homemade and very delicious. Great service and food and a really nice experience!

This was one of the loveliest, most chill lunch experiences I've had in a while. Relaxed, laid-back atmosphere, and the food was delicious. We had the veggie combo (which was so tasty) and yebeg derek tibs, accompanied by a few Ethiopian beers and a cracking coffee at the end. Genuinely great value, flavour and vibe for the price. Bring cash!

Been here a couple of times I had amazing, fresh, hot food. The veggie platter fantastic choice for vegetarians and the meat platter has an amazing choice of different Ethiopian dishes so you get a comprehensive try of loads of different thing. Really good if you want to try something a little different- after both my visits Ethiopian cuisine I would now say is in my top 5 favourite cuisines

This Ethiopian restaurant is the best I have ever eaten at. The food is absolutely delicious, satisfying and more-ish. If you've never tried Ethiopian before, head here as soon as you can - it's amazing for vegans as well. Such unique flavours and hearty dishes. The service is wonderful, and the atmosphere quiet in the early evenings turning into a party later on. The sharing platter with the injera and all the different sauces is incredible. Good beer too. My husband and I come every time we visit Leeds 😋 the owner is just lovely and although we've not had the coffee ceremony yet (we've got little ones so need our sleep at night) I'm sure that one day we will when we're going to stay later - it smells heavenly.

Very testy ethiopian cousin with a lovely service.

Enjoyable, everything was cooked fresh made to order , had a lovely spicy kick to it and the quality was fantastic 10/10 would definitely go again.

The food is really the star at Piassa - you can expect good portions of absolutely delicious food. The restaurant is clean and the staff are very friendly. If you haven't eaten Ethiopian food before, it is not like anything else - expect piles of fragrant spiced meats and lentils on top of a type of bready pancake, and there are tasty dishes for vegatarians and vegans. Really recommend this place - I'll be back, in particular the sharing dish for 4 with a bit of everything is recommended. Note that the physical menu is more extensive than the one on their website.

Delicious food, great friendly service, can’t recommend enough!

Such great food! Really friendly staff and speedy service, would absolutely recommend, amazing atmosphere :))

Amazing food and SUPER friendly service 10/10. Felt like we were back in Addis

Delish and cheap food, impeccable vibes, highlight and USP is when the music gets turned up and the free shots come out

Excellent customer service and delicious food

Good customer service and good atmosphere every day 👍

Probably one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Leeds, first time trying the honey wine, great place to eat!

The best Beyaynetu we’ve had. Sooo delicious! And the chickpea shiro too. Staff were really great as well. Looking forward to going back already, thank you!

Great food, great staff, and the honey wine is really good. Well done 👏

Great food, very good atmosphere, we had fun. Wanted to try all the food, got a great recommendation form the stuff (THANK YOU). W will be back to try honey wine.

Our first experience of Ethiopian food and Piassa didn’t disappoint. Friendly service and interesting, tasty well cooked food.

Loved it. Beautiful looking dishes that taste fantastic. Never had anything like it before and was delighted by our visit.

Great atmosphere, superb service. We had a sharing platter and the coffee ceremony - more than enough food for 4 (it would have done 5 at least!) and attentive service. Highly recommend.

The best Ethiopian restaurant in Leeds. We had vegan and non vegan meals to share ,honey wine and traditional Ethiopian coffee. Great food, good service and reasonable price. Looking forward to visit again.

I don't know where to start. Me and finance went there to eat and when we were about to get in, one of the people there who looks like a regular customer wouldn't want to let us in and said it was closed when we have already booked a table. Not sure why she did that and after we were sat at the table, she was was staring at us non stop. Foodwise, Not the best food. Food is low quality and no taste. The meat aka tubs was so dry and no flavour. The Cabbage was dry and lentils were nothing special. I asked for Ethiopian coffee but the waitress said they have Italian. Very embarrassing to say this as its an Ethiopian place and they should have at least have the option to provide Ethiopian coffee. They won't check if your meal is OK or anything like that, very poor customer service. They brought 'awaze' which doesn't even taste like one. It looks like they mixed chilli powder with lemon. Please don't go to this place and waste your money!!

Came here with a friend from Addis Ababa who recommended it as the best Ethiopian place in Leeds or Bradford. The food and coffee were amazing, the portions were generous and the people working there are really nice and friendly. Would definitely reccomend.

Exceptional food great staff and friendly atmosphere.Good Service.Affordable.Definitely worth trying

Very nice and professional service

Vegan options and the food was amazing!!! The waiters recommendation was spot on. Really nice, chilled atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

Vegan friendly, food was delicious! Great atmosphere, staff friendly and helpful, fantastic value and portion size was fantastic!! Overall an amazing experience and I'll be going back 👍

Food was nice though unusual if you haven’t tried anything like this before. Very communal and social way of eating as a group.

First time eating any kind of African cuisine before and it is absolutely delicious. My order went wrong but it was rectified exceptionally and I would recommend to everybody and anybody, especially if you want to try something new!

Top Tier Authentic and Amazing Ethiopian Food. After years of ethiopian food in Africa, my family always hunts for ethiopian places in different countries where we stay, and we came here, had a friendly chat with the waiter, ordered our platter full, with his additional suggestions, and cleaned it out. Lovely place, felt perfect, and incredible food.

Great food and a really friendly server, music a little loud for casual conversation but that's a matter of preference, will definitely be back!

Very good food in a very friendly restaurant.

Only serve their people better, I was set for long time waiting to be served, it was apparent I was ignored. I’m Eritrean and I thought all Habesha were the same but I was wrong. When the food arrived it was cold and spoiled, I think they served me the day before food. Cold cold service, what a shame.

Best Ethiopian restaurant in Leeds. Friendly service and draft beers available. The waiter often just ask you your food preferences and prepare you a whole variety of delicious food. Extremely good value and fun night out.

This place is amazing. Very beautiful tasty food. Amazing service and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend and definitely will be returning

Exquisite meals with excellent service delivered with smiles.. Visit this taste of Ethiopia and leave with a lasting positive memory that keeps inviting you back. - A. Uzomah-

Piassa were happy to take a booking for 20 for my birthday meal which is already a big ask. It was my first time eating Ethiopian food and I loved it. Our host was friendly, helpful and made us feel welcome. The food is great and the coffee after dinner was absolutely unreal.

Great food, amazing service and make sure you get a coffee at the end!

Piassa hosted a group of 17 for a friend's birthday. Great music, fantastic food and friendly service. Loved the coffee and ceremony

Very pleasant atmosphere. Familial and typical. Service is just perfect: cool and friendly. The food is well prepared, very tasty and for a reasonable price, we have spent a wonderful evening. I will come back for sure.

Delicious food and amazing atmosphere! Vegan meal was so tasty and filling, thanks for the great food and wonderful treatments... evening.i love it's 💘 big respect 🙏👏💯

Nice food.. but if the waiter doesn't understand your order he will probably just add random foods and that could sky rocket the cost. Food is well made. But don't go without someone who doesn't know how to order etheopian.

We had a great birthday meal at Piassa. We were made to feel very welcome and had some authentic Abyssinian food. The chick pea daal was outstandingc

The food was amazing and the atmosphere was wonderful, the Ethiopian art on the wall was beautiful.

Amazing service and amazing food. Would 100% recommend

Beautiful food, great atmosphere, service was amazing, great value for money. Will be back.

Amazing food, great atmosphere + service. Recommend trying the honey wine which they brew themselves! Will be back soon!

Good vibes, great food, lovely people

Great food, great music, great service, great price, great people. What more could you ask?

The food came out cold and the meat was very tough, but the fact the bread was also covered in green mould patches sealed the deal for me to give this 1 star. Avoid

Great atmosphere and delicious food. We've eaten Ethiopian food several times before but this was the first time in Leeds. Excellent value for money and a highly recommended experience! We will definitely be back.

Ideal place for authentic Ethiopian meals. Friendly atmosphere. Reasonable price.

We came here as a group of 4 on a Sunday night. It has a great atmosphere and the food is incredible. Good prices, plus great vegan options. Easily able to socially distance inside. The host was really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back again.
