Sesame in Leeds

Stumbled on this Place by chance. They have Tasty, healthy, clean food. Fast and efficient and friendly service. Deffo will come back!

I've been coming here well over a year now, and it's my favourite lunch spot. Sandwiches are decent, but the salad bar is the highlight. The Falafel is especially brilliant. Friendly staff, although it can get a bit chaotic/confusing when it's busy.

Trabajando en Leeds, tenemos la suerte de tener muchas opciones para el almuerzo. Si no vas a un restaurante y no quieres comida rápida, entonces son sándwiches de cafetería o ofertas de comida de supermercado. Por un poco más, aquí podrá disfrutar de una gran variedad de sándwiches y ensaladas, con especialidades del día.Pagarás una libra más o menos, pero como dice el viejo refrán, obtienes lo que pagas. ¡Recomendado! !

Un colega me presentó a Sesame y desde entonces he vuelto una y otra vez. La caja de ensaladas ha sido mi elección cada vez, la selección de ensaladas es excelente y ¡Dios mío, el Falafel es el mejor que he comido! Muy buena relación calidad-precio, personal muy amable y lo más importante, comida realmente deliciosa. Altamente recomendado.

Normalmente no dejo comentarios, pero sentí que debería hacerlo en esta ocasión. Entré por primera vez esta mañana después de hacer un trabajo a la vuelta de la esquina. Cuando pasé, fue el olor a comida fresca lo que me ayudó a entrar. Fui por el especial (todos los jueves, según me han dicho), o un sándwich de pollo Schnitzel hecho en casa (con centros de queso, lechuga y geek). Lo elegí porque estaba delicioso. Desafortunadamente, había varias cosas en el menú que quería probar pero tendré que volver otra vez. La fresca lasaña hecha en casa se veía muy apetecible también! El personal era encantador también. Está a un par de minutos a pie de Trinity, así que si te apetece un bocado saludable, pruébalo.Gracias y nos vemos la próxima vez!

I didn't actually plan on coming here, after a gap of few years working out of Leeds I decided to visit one of my old lunchtime haunts but it wasn't like I remembered and there was hardly any food left (about 1pm on a lunchtime) so I ventured across the road to Sesame which had a long queue and loads of fresh food on show. I opted for a veggie salad box - the lady serving filled the box to the brim with lots of lovely food - it was delicious. I'm glad he place I originally fancied was so good as I'll now be making Sesame a new regular haunt.

I'm writing this after 3 recent visits. On all 3 visits I opted for the sald bar, though today the lasagne looked and smelled very tempting.The medium box is currently about £4.70 and is just right for me. The choices are great, though I've gone for roughly the same ones every time because they work so well. What I really love is when you get to the end and you add in an amazing felafel, houmous, tzatziki, olives and brie. I have no idea how all this works so well together in a box with a mix of noodles, salads and the other stuff I mentioned but it does and I hope they don't change anything!The staff are really friendly and seem to be passionate about what they are doing and this shows in the food prepared.The only thing to be mindful of is that the minimum spend on card is £5 which seems a bit outdated these days so I always end up buying a packet of crisps to go over that figure, but this is a minor gripe and I can definitely thoroughly recommend.

I usually grab some lunch or breakfast from here if i've not had chance to put something together the night before. Always encouraging to see staff making colourful and fresh dishes from scratch when i go in on a morning. Sausage baps are great, really lovely soft buns and really tasty sausages, not the usualy mass produced ones made with the dreaded "pink slime".

Popped in a couple of times, good place to grab a quiet coffee either side of the lunch rush. The roll I had (chicken schnitzel special on a Tuesday) had beautiful meat filling, but with the salad mix being better suited to a salad bowl, I didn't really enjoy the food that much - would have preferred a more traditional salad accompaniments to the chicken and cheese. Very busy during lunch time, and wasn't easy to work out the ordering / pick up system.

decepcionado, la comida era inferior a la media, el personal gritaba que mi pedido de comida estaba listo. decepción ciudad pensé que se veía fresco y no me gustó cómo me trataron o el personal se quejó de lo ocupado que estaba. No bienvenido para mí aquí. a lo largo de esta calle hay al menos 7 lugares mejor

Excelentes selecciones de barra de ensaladas: ¡imaginativo y bueno para comer! El brócoli y el chile son geniales como lo es la pasta al pesto, muchos ingredientes para ensaladas frescas también. La sopa de pollo marroquí es agradable y los rollos de granero son un gran acompañamiento.Buena selección de patatas fritas al mercado y refrescos carbonatados pelligrino.El personal es eficiente.Soy un visitante regular.

Great (make your own) salad with a great variety of options to choose from! Really good variety of other hot foods and sandwiches. I am a regular visitor!

Los bocadillos están muy bien y he tenido un par de salchichas y bacon sandwiches desde aquí, pero yo simplemente no entiendo el herby salchichas! No quiero lujos para el desayuno sólo pantalones salchichas los normales son mucho más apropiado! La primera vez que asumí que hubiera acabado tan acostumbrado de nuevo la cena salchichas, pero sin este tema hoy salchichas que serían 5 para mí :).

Sesame está bien situado para una rápida para llevar el almuerzo al lado del parque de la plaza. Sin embargo, desde que cambió de manos tiene realmente ido cuesta abajo - pedimos un queso hornear pasta tres hoy, que solía disfrutar plenamente - demasiado salados y la mala calidad de los ingredientes. Muy decepcionante. También hablan muy mal el inglés, dije que me gustaría pagar por una "pasta" de queso hornear tres y el hombre intentó cobrarme por tres pasta pastas y era bastante difícil de explicar el error.

Los bocadillos solía ser fantástico en sésamo, pero como todas las cosas buenas que ha llegado a su fin. yo no he sido por un largo tiempo hasta esta semana. Parece que sus manos cambiaron. El menú es prácticamente el mismo, pero la calidad de los ingredientes ha tomado una enorme nariz de buceo. Es una pena, ya que solía ser brillante. Lo intentaré de nuevo en un mes o así y ver si la calidad ha vuelto.

Este pequeño lugar solía hacer un bonito sopa de fideos (entre otros sándwiches) y yo no había sido por un tiempo, pero pensé que iba a tener algo para comer. Por desgracia la receta ha cambiado y es comestible. Cortar las verduras es demasiado grande para ser comido con un tenedor o una cuchara de sopa y la base de salsa de soja era simplemente gustó climatizada un color marrón oscuro y demasiado salada. ¿Por qué te gustaría añadir hierbas secas italiano para que efectivamente es un plato oriental es más allá de mí, pero este fue una enorme falta. Me sorprendería si este había sido probado antes de colocarlo en el menú.

Esta fue mi primera vez y estaba deseando mi almuerzo, tocino, queso brie y chutney de mango sandwich. Me tomó un bocado y casi perdió un diente! El tocino era tan dura que tuve que llevar a la tienda donde ni siquiera una disculpa fue ofrecido.

i have been at sesame salad bar in Leeds and i had a giant Falafel wrap and a large salad box . it was just a wow. i give it 5 star. Also have been lovely staffs.

Hago eco de los comentarios recientes. Fui a sesame para comer hoy, muy emocionados de regresar a mi antigua favorita ahora que estoy de regreso en Leeds. Llegamos justo antes de 12 (y por lo tanto antes de la fiebre de comer) pero a pesar de ser 3 miembros de personal detrás del mostrador y no hay otros clientes, nadie quería tomar mi pedido y cuando lo hacían, era incorrecto. No recuerdo el servicio y no había ninguno de los rollos de sushi o tartas que yo recordaba, así que no estoy seguro de si ha sido tomada?? Dicho esto, el sándwich era delicioso (a pesar de no ser lo que yo había pedido) y el precio era razonable.

Mi jefe tiene una ensalada de aquí todos los días. Decidí comenzar a moverse uno para mí, tengo un presupuesto ajustado, pero yo almuerzo tratan una vez a la semana a una ensalada grande por £5.50. Tienes un montón de opciones para ensaladas. Algunos de los comentarios aquí son viejas y, les puedo decir que el tamaño de las porciones han aumentado la bañera estaba tan lleno que tenía que empuje hacia abajo para conseguir la tapa! He añadido una foto para mostrar cuán completo era.

Walked in. Five staff behind counter. Ignored for ten whole minutes so I walked out. Just not acceptable. Went down the road to competitor, served immediately.

A new favourite and it is very busy at peak times but service is pretty swift. Queuing system can be a little confusing at first but bear with it.Plenty of choice on the salad bar but the servers can be a but skinny with portions of each so if you don't want a little of everything, make sure you are clear. Falafel is very dry but tasty. Give it a try for a healthy lunch.

I stop by Sesame every couple of weeks for my favourite salad in Leeds. A medium box gives you five or six options, falafel, tzatziki, (sometimes) croutons, dressing and a meat, fish or cheese. The salad mixes are always fresh and delicious with fourteen or so different items to choose from. I recommend the slightly spicy noodles and teriyaki salmon which make regular appearances.Service is quite fast although don't be surprised to find a short queue out of the door at lunchtime.

Home made every day salads and sandwich fillings. Lots of choice to suit the cautious and adventurous! Very busy at lunchtime which says it all. The foot is fantastic.

One must try the salad bar and the sushi is to die for. Bit of a long queue right out the door at lunchtime so best to avoid peak times! New favourite :)

I used to love Sesame, absolutely hands down it was one of the best little Cafe's in Leeds. Recently though the portions have become smaller and smaller, the fillings in the sandwiches are a joke and today I got a small salad for £3.50. The box isn't even full and it is so disappointing. I think the staff there need training on portion size as they are going to lose more and more custom by going down the road of skimping on customer's food. I'm going off this little place every day.

I was going to consider the posh coffee/cake shop up the road but when I saw Fish Finger Sandwich on the board outside it made me smile & I went in. Lots of great food waiting for the lunch crowd that were not far behind me. Good coffee and very impressive service. Great value.

I am fortunate enough to work closet to Sesame and visit once a week usually to buy my lunch. Fishfinger Friday being my favourite day to go there. It is always busy but the friendly staff seem to be able to get people in and out at some speed. The food is of high quality, and I have tried a number of the dishes including the pasta, salads and sushi.

My first time back in Leeds after about 5 years, I am constantly astounded by how the food has evolved in quality and variety since then. Now this is a town you can finally eat in! Tons of cosy cafes, bistroey places, bars and gastropubs have lifted their game and Sesame is showing just that. While tempted by a wide variety from soup to lasagna, we opted for salmon cucumber sushi rolls and a medium salad made up of rocket, spinach/feta, buckwheat noodles, chickpeas, killer coleslaw, tomatoes from the array at the buffet, topped with (too dry, one of the few niggling points) felafals and juicy chicken - an ample feast for 2 people for about 9 pounds including a drink. Great fresh food, terrific caring service. The only other thing besides the felafal that needs work is to offer some basic vinaigrette as a salad dressling option. The seating opportunities are limited but what could be nicer with this sort of weather, to take the food and stroll across to the park, as so many do? Nice introduction to the "new" Leeds food culture, I am impressed!

I tried Sesame when they first opened as a replacement for the defunct Sisushi. I wasn't impressed then, over-priced and the noodles were tasteless. I tried again today, giving them a second chance.The inside had been reorganised making even less space, chaotic queuing/service and music too loud that everyone seemed to struggle to hear each other when giving orders.I ordered spicy chicken ramen noodles at the princely sum of £3.50 for small, and was bitterly disappointed. The broth looked appetising but was utterly tasteless, they appear to only have one broth and make it spicy by upending half a pot of dried chilli flakes into it. By the time i got to my desk it was practically inedible, the chilli flakes kept getting stuck at the back of my throat making me choke and I'm only just getting feeling back in my lips.I can only assume they have never tasted real ramen before if they think that is acceptable.I guess since it's getting good reviews they must be doing other things right but I won't be going back to give them another chance.

I ordered some sushi from sesame via the just eat web site. I received an email confirming my order and the delivery time and date. 25 minutes later, I get a telephone call telling me that they are going to have to cancel my order! It meant I was going to have to make another order somewhere else and wait another 25 minutes which would have been too late to eat. I'm sure that their offer of a discount next time seemed reasonable to them. However, it was not reasonable to me and there won't be a next time.

AMAZING!!! Throroughly recommend it. We ordered a takeaway for delivery, great customer service and they went the extra mile as we weren't technically within their delivery radius. The food was incredibly tasty, healthy and very authentic. It's by far the best sushi in Leeds. Will be ordering again. Thanks sesame! 

Went for a lunch here on a drizzly Wednesday lunch, after having had it recommended. Whilst queuing I noticed a huge bag of rice left in the doorway, blocking the door. Being vegetarian, the inside looked hopeful, kind of boho chic and hippy-ish. Ordered a roasted haloumi and salsa. When it was handed to me on the plate, it looked very small and unassuming. When eating it I noticed it was lacking virtually all the haloumi, making it basically bread with a lot of balsamic vinegar (not sure where the salsa was) and a bit of salad. For over £3. Not great. Not much space inside to sit and eat. Staff were polite but didn't didn't look very professional, maybe a smart uniform would look better. Won't be going back.

Tried this place for the first time last week at a lunch time.Sushi was great although I got a beef noodle soup at roughly £4 which truthfully was inedible - tasted of water and the beef was wrapped in some plastic like substance. Maybe I ordered wrongly and should have tried something else but in my opinion really wasn't a great product. The veggie sushi was very nice though.

This place is promising, a fun fresh lunchtime place to get more than your average sandwiches. I have to say, I've only been once (a few months after it first opened) but not been again. I chose the beef wonton noodle soup, since it got a good review in Leeds Citylife newspaper. (oliver review). The lady was very pleasant and service was great, when I ate it was very disappointed. The soup was very bland, no taste at all and swimming in oil. The beef wonton had been previously deep fried then put in this noodle soup, and, I'm afraid as a connoisseur of noodles soup, is a bad idea, the result being a soggy mess of wonton that contributed to the oil, the beef filling itself provided the only flavour but was a tiny ball packed so tightly that it also ruined and contributed to the nasty texture of it all. Noodles were ok but not really enough, as I ended up not eating the soggy wonton, only eating the noodles and having none of the soup.Did the owner taste it before putting it on the menu? Having said this, I haven't tried anything else, and they do offer things like sushi, pots of healthy endaname beans etc. I will endeavour to try this place again in the near future and post further review if it's better!

Sesame is a lunchtime casual venue. Carry out or eat-in. Fresh handmade sushi or delicious noodles. Very friendly staff who are knowledgeable about the product lines.Some of the nicest sushi I have outside Asia.They also do a delivery platter service.= which is great for parties or business meetings.
