Lunch restaurant in Leeds

“Amazing meal, great price and lovely friendly staff. Definitely recommend”

“Lived in Tod for over a year and tried all the Chinese takeaways and they have all been disappointing. Came here today and it was amazing. Tastes fresh, not greasy and stodgy, will definitely be coming back! Staff were lovely too!”

“November 2025: good range of food and drinks; great service from the staff and a good atmosphere here. Dog friendly in the bar area.”

“Only bobbed by for a quick potato scallop, which came with bits .. bloody amazing. Crispy batter, butter soft potato in the middle , with free bits on top.. rally a meal in itself , but I got one to try and review, and happy i was too. Great value .. absolutely no complaints here worth of 5 stars.”

“Fantastic hotel, lady on reception couldn't do enough to help us, breakfast was good as well, only disappointed with evening meal, microwave food and not warm or very nice, definitely stay again just would go out for evening meal.”

“This was a second visit to an Ivy Asia, I went to St Paul’s London and that was a great experience. Ivy Asia Leeds was a really lovely experience also, great for a special meal, I booked it for a 60th Birthday. Service, food and decor is first class. It is definitely worth a visit and fabulous surprise for a family celebration.”

“Had a lovely meal from the lunch menu. Chose Chicken Skewers to start, Fish and Chips and ended with Sticky Toffee Pudding. All food was very tasty, well presented and enjoyed! Forgot to photograph pudding but it was lush. Service very good and surroundings in restaurant pleasant.”

“Delicious food. Really good for gluten free. Service excellent. I have no idea why they weren't rushed off their feet on a Saturday night. Have the tapas!”

“I came here after my partner's graduation because it was dedicated gluten free and it did not disappoint! The choice is amazing, the staff are super friendly and the food is made fresh (you can taste it !). I really enjoyed my non alcoholic cocktail. All the food was amazing! The calamari was the best I have tasted !”

“Perfect lunch outside on a day dominated by noisy cricket fans. Excellent service, food cooked to perfection. Friendly and charming and entertaining staff. Overall fantastic”

“Having come from Malaysia, this restaurant serves food that’s pretty accurate to how it’s done over there! We especially liked the mee kari and the ABC (very unique dessert!). I left extremely satisfied. One downside was that we had been waiting an hour for the food to come. However the staff were very well aware of this and would assure us that it would come. Another downside was that the portion of the char kuey teow was quite small, and it was similarly priced to the mee kari (pictured). I think with time the service will improve, and it would also be nice to serve a portion that suits the price paid. However, I will come back and I do look forward to it!”

“What a fantastic restaurant! We were a table of 17 and despite the numbers all the food was brought out efficiently and correctly. The food was delicious, and the staff ere lovely. The menu is very clear to understand for people with dietary requirements and allergies too. Will 100% be coming back!”

“Yet another awesome sushi restaurant of which there seems to have been an explosion of in recent years which is fab! Beautifully light and crisp mixed tempura, gorgeous fresh sashimi (the mackerel seemed particularly good) and a delicious rainbow roll (I think it was). We then had a couple of the special desserts - apple gyozas and an ice-cream ball rolled in dessicated coconut, dipped in tempura batter and deep fried. Amazing! Wonderful, friendly and polite service and lovely atmosphere. Another one to recommend!”

“Fab evening meal here last night - great good, really friendly staff (perfectly on the right side of attentiveness) and very reasonable prices. Unfortunately for this lovely restaurant, its owner and staff, we realised afterwards that we'd seen what is sadly becoming an increasing issue of people running up large bills and then trying to get away without paying: a very loud and entitled family of four were seated near us; we noticed them ordering a lot (and being advised by the staff about portion sizes and what would be arriving, so as not to over-order) and they were very happy, smiling, laughing and talking loudly through their whole meal. The wait staff then took away empty plates at the end. We only saw as they went to pay that the man was now (quietly) trying to create an issue, and after they left, the staff were very upset. We spoke with the owner, and this family had complained that there was a problem with one of the meals - which, to note, they had eaten IN ITS ENTIRETY - so had been trying to blag the whole bill free. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from these obnoxious and selfish diners. From the impact alone on the staff, they should be thoroughly ashamed of what they did.”

“An absolute gem of a restaurant! Fantastic location, plenty of seating and a great atmosphere. Food is fab and a great menu to chose from and there is something for everyone! The skewers are so tasty, the tiramisu is to die for and the range and choice of drinks complement each and every dish. Well worth booking so don’t arrive and be disappointed! Staff are super tentative and friendly and made our meal special. Thanks and already looking forward to coming back again soon!”

“The future of kebabs is in great hands. We tried these yesterday and had to get them again tonight. They are the tastiest kebabs we have ever had! Served in a naan with juicy lamb thats spiced to perfection and served with salad and the sauces you get with pickle trays, especially that mint one that everyone fights for it was just amazing and so filling. Well done to the chefs and whoever decided to put it as a menu option! Try it out and be prepared to get addicted!”

“Wonderful little restaurant in city centre. Easily accommodated for our large group of people. Food was prepared to our liking and served rather quickly, even though we were 14+ guests. Lasagna was delicious and appetisers utilised proper Italian meat and cheese. Pasta was also good. Kind staff was a good bonus.”

“My recent visit to Icmeler Turkish Restaurant left me astounded by the exquisite blend of flavors, impeccable service, and inviting ambiance. Nestled in Wakefield, this gem of a restaurant offers an authentic Turkish dining experience that tantalizes the taste buds and leaves a lasting impression. **Ambiance:** Upon entering Icmeler, I was immediately struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The decor seamlessly combines traditional Turkish elements with modern touches, creating a cozy yet elegant setting perfect for intimate dinners or lively gatherings with friends and family. **Service:** From the moment we were seated, the attentive and friendly staff at Icmeler ensured that every aspect of our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. They were knowledgeable about the menu, accommodating to dietary preferences, and went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction throughout the meal. **Culinary Experience:** The culinary journey at Icmeler commenced with the Icmeler style king prawns and mushrooms bathed in a creamy sauce. The combination of fresh seafood, earthy mushrooms, and velvety sauce was simply divine, leaving me craving for more with each bite. Following this delightful starter, we indulged in the falafel served with hummus and a tangy sour sauce. The falafel was flawlessly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and paired perfectly with the creamy hummus and zesty sauce, creating a symphony of flavors on the palate. For the main course, we savored the karniyarik, a traditional Turkish dish that surpassed all expectations. The tender eggplant stuffed with seasoned minced meat and aromatic spices was a true testament to the culinary mastery of the chefs at Icmeler. To complement our meal, we enjoyed refreshing beverages, including fresh orange juice and diet coke, which served as the perfect accompaniments to the rich and flavorful dishes. Lastly, we indulged in the decadent baklava served with a scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream and drizzled with luscious chocolate syrup. The harmonious combination of crispy layers, sweet syrup, and creamy ice cream provided a fitting finale to our culinary voyage. In conclusion, ICMELER Turkish Restaurant in Wakefield stands out as a culinary oasis where passion for food meets unparalleled hospitality. Whether you're a connoisseur of Turkish cuisine or simply seeking an unforgettable dining experience, Icmeler exceeds expectations on every front. I wholeheartedly recommend Icmeler to anyone seeking a taste of Turkey right in the heart of Wakefield. **Rating:** Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Culinary Experience: 5/5 Overall Experience: 5/5”

“Lovely food, friendly staff and good atmosphere.”

“We visited Vavasour as part of our spa package at Hazlewood Castle which included a 2 course meal. We shared brie for starter and for mains we had chicken supreme and belly pork. We shared sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert which we had with custard instead of ice cream. Food excellent, service excellent, nothing took too long, atmosphere just right, background music and not too much chatter noise.”

“Delivered in area and was recommended to me by a customer, called in for a quick snack and a coffee, service was quick and friendly.”

“Wow..... Food is incredible and amazing service. My steak was so good, cooked to medium and the hake was so well presented. The wine was beautiful but the port was served at the perfect temperature, along with the cheese!”

“If you want an Italian style fresh pizza this is the place to be..fresh dough, fresh sauce and ample topping...they never fail even on offers”

“Just tried the Tom Yum Soup for the first time, found it really authentic and well handled. REAL THAI FLAVOR! As the same in the Thailand restaurants. Warm hearted staffs and lovely vibe inside. Worth giving a try!”

“Visited today for my birthday lunch, food was delicious (cooked by Boris) and our server Catherine was super friendly polite and chatty :) x”

“The recent renovation and the new management—from a renowned ex-restaurant in Leeds City Centre—have elevated the dining experience. The dim sum offers an authentic Hong Kong taste at an affordable price. Service was friendly, and the venue was notably clean and quiet. With a small car park and a nearby bus stop, the location is convenient. Highly recommended for a repeat visit.”

“We had a lovely experience when we all came out for a new year’s meal as a family. The food was lovely and Joe was wonderful, he checked in with us regularly, was polite and attentive. You have a great member of staff there. A fab experience, we will definitely return.”

“We went on 5th December before seeing Miss Saigon. It was very festive, all tables were taken and the atmosphere was joyous. The staff were excellent, one of our meals didn’t have enough chicken in it. As soon as we raised this with our waiter he apologised and solved the problem. More chicken was presented to our table in good time as we were all still eating. Very reasonably priced and good food for the centre of town and an excellent service”

“Delicious starters and mains, with a wide variety of drinks. Had a range of Small Plates, including halloumi sticks and garlic and chilli king prawns, plus a range of mains, including the fish and chips. The food was so nice, I forgot to get photos of the main dishes we ate.”

“Amazing staff and atmosphere. Will be coming again, but I would recommend reserving if you plan on coming during peak times! 5/5 stars definitely earned”
