The best restaurants in City and Hunslet Leeds Yorkshire and The Humber

I had an absolutely dreadful experience with Zaap Thai in Headingley, Leeds. From the moment I picked up the phone, things went downhill fast. I initially called to place an order, and after being passed around three different members of staff, I was left feeling more frustrated with each transfer. The cherry on top? They hung up on me—mid-sentence. This is beyond unprofessional. After the abrupt disconnection, I had to call back and explain everything again, only to be met with no effort to resolve my problematic order. At no point did any of the staff offer a solution or show any sense of accountability. The complete lack of customer service was not only disappointing but utterly infuriating. If this is how Zaap Thai in Headingley treats a returning customer, I can’t imagine how they handle first-timers. My partner and I have frequented this place multiple times, but this experience has left me questioning whether it's worth continuing to support them. The complete lack of customer service, combined with the frustration of dealing with an unhelpful and disorganized team, has soured my opinion entirely. It’s a shame, as we’ve enjoyed the food in the past, but with service like this, I’m not sure we’ll be back.

The best Espresso Martinis🍸 in Leeds, from Moira and Liv! Excellent, fast and friendly service. We all had a fab time 😊

No food as just grabbing a beer Super friendly, great - mainly local beers - interesting building

Harry Joe and Sam are great bartenders and lovely boys

Came for some drinks and games and Ryan was great! Hannah was lovely as well. Both great assets to the team :)

This is more than a resturant,it is an experience. The staff are friendly, the food is very good.

Desafortunadamente, nuestra visita fue muy decepcionante. Fuimos recibidos por un miembro del personal que parecía desinteresado y poco acogedor, lo que inmediatamente nos hizo sentir incómodos, como si nuestra presencia fuera un inconveniente. La limpieza general dejó mucho que desear. Como establecimiento alimentario, la limpieza debería ser una prioridad, pero se sintió pasado por alto aquí. Las tazas y los cubiertos estaban visiblemente sucios, y las normas generales de higiene no reflejaban un lugar que sirve comida. La comida en sí era abrumadora. Los ingredientes se sentían baratos y las porciones carecían de cuidado o sabor, ciertamente no era lo que esperábamos dado el precio. A £ 50, esperábamos un nivel mucho mejor tanto de comida como de servicio. El ambiente apuntaba al encanto vintage, pero desafortunadamente, se encontró como cansado y descuidado en lugar de pintoresco. El servicio fue apresurado e impersonal — nuestras tortas fueron colocadas sin ninguna explicación, y nos fuimos sintiéndonos inoportunos. Estoy realmente sorprendido por las críticas positivas y me pregunto si reflejan una experiencia completamente diferente. Esta fue, por desgracia, una de las peores experiencias de comida y hospitalidad que hemos tenido.

Thai 5 , 2 Lados, cenar arriba y abajo? Show número 2. Fácilmente el mejor tailandés que he probado en años. Un verdadero trato con los chefs tailandeses - sabores locos. Todos los entrantes disfrutaron - crujiente langostino la elección del grupo. Y un delicioso satay en segundo lugar. Massaman y Penang disfrutaron de los currys, pero recomiendo encarecidamente la firma Gra Pow Moo Krob, que me fue fácil de decir pero incluso más fácil de comer. Con el vientre de cerdo crujiente puesto en una deliciosa salsa hecha de chile, judías verdes y albahaca. Santa albahaca. Disfruta!

exceptional and healthy and good food. highly recommended.

Maddie served us, she was lovely, really smiley and very fun! Food was delicious - I am coeliac and ordered a pizza and dirty fries, they are very clued up! Would 100% recommend! Thanks again Maddie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sad to see Issho has closed. This place was a gem in Leeds, blending modern with traditional Japanese cuisine. Each visit was a culinary adventure, from sushi to unique dishes. Although sometimes service could be hit or miss, the overall experience was memorable. It'll be missed for its innovation and atmosphere.

A mate of mine who lives in Leeds recommended this place... OMFG... recommendation of the century! Had a pitta with falafel, hummus, extra aubergine and pickles. Everything top drawer!! Shame it’s so messy or I’d be taking some back on the train home for the family

Having done the brunch there twice before, I can’t say this was third time lucky. Just too tight and slow with the drinks. A party of 8 and after an initial two bottles of Prosecco spread down the table they wouldn’t give us any more, only by the glass and that was classed as a round. Been trying to think where else does this .. oh that’s it - NO WHERE! Half the time we were “dry” - I can only assume the drinks were been poured and carried down from the Wetherspoons as the place was dead, yet each round still took 25 minutes to arrive. Told we could get vodka and coke, yet the coke looked like it had been defrosted and squeezed from a Mr Freeze ice pop (the rola cola one that no-one likes) To give them their due, they were consistent in that the staff still walk past looking like they are on a stealth mission and excel in not giving any eye contact in the hopes you don’t ask them for anything 😂 I have already contacted them prior to me posting this for their answer and it just said that because it’s a two hour brunch they have a responsibility for people to drink responsibly. Not a “bottomless” brunch then is it.

Visited this afternoon for a friend's 60th birthday. Food was out of this world. Kelly and her staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for us. My friend had commissioned a chocolate campervan made by the amazing Ashley, and you wouldn't believe the detail, the skill of that man. Thanks to all who made my friends' day the best she could of wished for x x we will definitely be returning. X

Very friendly staff Good value for money Great food, nice quality produce Will deffo visit again, plus within crawling distance from accommodation
