Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Unfortunately we didn’t feel our meal was up to the usual standard. A party of 5 including 2 children. We ordered a garlic bread for starters which arrived after our main meal ( obviously forgotten) and was too hot to eat. No Ice. Couldn’t quite believe that one but the main thing the pizzas had an odd sauce. Wasn’t tomato and cheese . Sort of creamy . And pineapple no longer available for toppings. Very disappointed, as regular visitors not what we expected.

Food was terrible. The toilet facilities were dreadful. I complained to a manager who said that they were clean, awful attitude. Way overpriced for a midweek meal.

Staff lovely attentive and polite and officiant, pasta dish and lemon cheesecake was superb, pepperoni pizza only mediocre and couldn’t understand why the mozzarella cheese was orange !! 3 of our party had this pizza and had never experienced mozzarella cheese being orange before

Excellent food would recommend, lovely atmosphere and staff worked hard and very friendly.

Went with a friend, the selection and price for the 5 for £40 is fantastic and each dish came well presented and were really tasty. Lamb flat bread and salmon were particular favourites and we could have eaten them several times over. Minor comments, use of micro herbs, we ordered lager but not sure what measure it was (3/4 pints maybe?) We ordered the cheese board and it would have been nice if the waitress explained what we had - being really picky Regardless of my tiny negatives, this place is fantastic and we will 100% be back it’s great to have something like this so close

Staff are polite & helpful. The food is fabulous. We had a great time.

First time we’ve been and will definitely be there again soon. Food was amazing and the ladies serving us were lovely.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

They catered for a party of 9 people for a a hen doo. Gorgeous cocktails, great atmosphere and nice food. They made us some sharing platters for the tables.

Amazing meal again, food is beautiful every time. The service is also fantastic, you never feel rushed. One of our favourite restaurants!

This is my 3rd visit to this restaurant since it moved from Anlaby road & again the service & food were exemplary. Our food was freshly cooked & very tasty. The staff are friendly & attentive without being intrusive. Our bill for 3 starters 2 mains 1 bottle of wine & half a carafe of wine came to £76 which in our opinion is fantastic value for money. We will definitely be making another visit.

Unfortunately this visit to Panda Mami wasn’t enjoyable. The fridges were broken and all desserts were warm, the ice cream and panna cotta melted. When I mentioned it while paying the hostess smiled. No offer of a discount or voucher for next time.

Food was cold, wasn’t much left empty trays , was genuinely the worst meal I’ve ever had and would never return there again, definatley not worth the money and nearly refused to pay.

Once again, had a lovely meal on Friday! Never fails to impress with quality food and wonderful flavoursome dishes. Staff are so friendly and attentive . And good value for money as an added bonus !!

Consistently high standard delivered

This place is a little gem of a place The food my wife and I had was excellent Staff are very caring and professional The surroundings are light and airy Very cosy We had a pleasant evening, thank you Little Sicily

Welcoming hosts and staff, excellent food and happy, busy atmosphere. Definitely recommend

We really enjoyed the meal. All the food was freshly made and the service from the team was excellent! Thanks so much!

The service was excellent, but unfortunately, the food was diabolical ! There were 8 of us having a family get together and in the newly refurbished premises, we were expecting great things. How wrong we were. The refurbished Empress is dark and dingy and not at all what we were expecting. Such a shame, as the it is a beautiful building in a lovely situation overlooking the Stray. The fish and chips were soggy and tasteless and the gammon and steak were like leather. Poor quality produce , cooked by somebody who hadn’t a clue what they were doing. The only saving grace was the service, which was excellent. I didn’t make a formal complaint, as It would have spoilt our evening out together. However, we will certainly not be returning or recommending this venue to anybody. Definitely a place to avoid!
