Reviews in Ilkley

Wow!..Our first visit and will not be the last. Trying to find a restaurant in Ilkley that is an experience and not just food is difficult. Finding one that is also good value, even harder. Brooks ticks every box. From the moment we arrived it was decidedly special. The choice of food, the quality, the service and the atmosphere is the experience we have been looking for. Perhaps being family run like Emporio Italia, is the secret to real success. Whatever it is, long may it continue. Thank you.

We discovered this gem of a place a few weeks ago and have now been twice. The food is superb and makes a refreshing change from other cuisines. The staff are all extremely attentive and the atmosphere is friendly and inclusive. The quality of the food, service and atmosphere make it very good value for money. If you haven’t been yet, try it. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Brilliant menu choices, super cooked and tasty dishes we chose 3 each and 1 side each for myself and wife, which was plenty. Unlike other restaurants you are getting different flavors with each dish and firing up your taste buds, good choice of wines and not silly prices, we will definitely be bad soon.

From the moment you enter you feel welcome. The ambience in this place is special. You can tell it’s family run. That vibe is felt. The new decor in the new place is amazing too. It felt very relaxed and comfortable. The food is varied and delicious. Definitely recommend a visit.

Excellent meal in the new venue. Would strongly recommend it to anyone wanting a good meal in great surroundings

Went to the recently relocated restaurant and had a really lovely visit. The food was fantastic as usual and the service was great. Have booked for another visit in a few weeks.

Great food, plenty of choice and the service was excellent. The new restaurant is bright, spacious and well appointed. Highly recommended

Wonderful food and service as usual, a great atmosphere. No problems catering for a coeliac, lots of gluten free options.

Super service. Tasty food.

I took my son and his girlfriend to Brooks on Saturday. It was the first time they’d been and it was my first time at the new location. The new location is amazing. Beautifully presented and it was absolutely buzzing. My son and his girlfriend loved every mouthful. The food is always amazing and the cocktails are rather good too. I love this place and look forward to visiting over and over.

Fabulous new venue for Brooks. Lovely atmosphere and the food was the usual excellent standard. The staff were brilliant, despite being the first evening they were confident in their new surroundings and everything went very smoothly. Looking forward to returning very soon.

Absolutely delicious food that I am still thinking about now, so fresh and tasty and I am looking forward to going back. Thank you Chef and also lovely Chris and Team who were warmly welcoming and made us feel relaxingly looked after.

Amazing food and service as always.

Amazing as always, lovely environment and friendly staff. Always nice to see the owner asking how your evening is...

We had a lovely meal on a Sunday afternoon, the service was faultless, the restaurant is lovely, the food was delicious! There were 4 of us, we each had something different & all thoroughly enjoyed our food. I personally do not like curry or spices, so I was unsure if I would enjoy the food as much as the others, however I had the burgers, the tempura vegetables & a fab desert. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious food with great service Lovely decor very special treat night

What a lovely evening we had at ‘Brooks’. Everything from the setting, service, waiting staff and food was superb. Whilst staying in Ilkley we happened upon Brooks and were intrigued by the idea of Sri Lankan Tapas. We had the Brooks Sharing platter, Sri Lankan devilled beef and Pracia’s pork. Each dish was a taste explosion, unique and each one different - it would be so difficult to state our favourite. A nice touch was the owner coming to our table at the end of the evening to ask how we enjoyed our meal - it was absolutely delightful and we will be back when we are next in the area was our response.

An excellent place to eat. Great food, the staff were friendly and attentive. The good was delicious
