Reviews in Ilkley

Really excellent meal with first class service. Imaginative menu with good all round choice of food. The tempura prawns to start were the best I have ever tasted. Strongly recommended.

I visited the restaurant on Saturday evening with my 3 friends. The atmosphere was great, and our seats were perfect. The restaurant was full but the service was excellent. The food was amazing, however we were advised to order 3 dishes each + a side, so we had 12 dishes and 4 sides between us, which was too much. It was served in intervals so the table wasn’t overflowing and the food wasn’t going cold. We all shared , and thoroughly enjoyed our evening, the wine was also delicious. 2 of us visited in April 2022 and it was even better the second time around. We all definitely be back.

It was our first time at Brooks but it won't be our last. We chose 2 fish and 2 veggie tapas dishes with 2 sides. All were beautifully presented and delicious. As were the deserts, especially the sherry cake and icecream. (I'm going to have to try to make something like that at home!) We were warmly welcomed by the friendly proprietor who seemed to know the other diners well, and it was busy for an early Thursday evening. Obviously the people of Ilkley and round about, appreciate the quality of Brooks, too. We're looking forward to our next visit. To make it even better, I would like Sri Lankan music and photos of Sri Lanka to add to the atmosphere.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to Brooks as I haven’t been going out. My dinner there yesterday evening reminded me why I love this restaurant so much. We had five dishes plus Pol Roti bread between two of us and nothing disappointed - delicious flavours and just the right amount of food. We followed up the savours with a dessert to share – what’s not like about cookie dough and ice cream!? We had a lovely round table on the ground floor and were very warmly welcomed by the owners who cannot do enough to make you comfortable. It’s like a home from home. I’ll be back much sooner next time.

Fabulous food, superb service, awesome atmosphere. Overall a delightful meal for the 4 of us.

Really great food in a lovely setting

Our waitress could not have been more delightful. She was very helpful and took our orders quickly as we were starving. The food was great and we all had the tempura prawns to start with. Excellent as usual

First visit and won’t be our last - great atmosphere and lovely service, topped off with fabulous food!

Great service and delicious food. We asked for recommendations and they were our stand out dishes. Aubergine and hake.

Best restaurant in Ilkley, great meal once again.

Another visit, another great meal. Super ambience, tasty food freshly cooked from fresh ingredients, and pleasant service. This time tried some dishes new to us, and really enjoyed the Black Pork.

Another fabulous meal at Brooks! Great tasting food, cooked fresh and with amazing combinations of flavours, all in a superb atmosphere! I can highly recommend Pacinda's pork (fairly spicy but well worth trying). If you only want (or have room for) pudding, then her cake is to die for. The family are brilliant, a friendly very warm and genuine welcome awaits! I look forward to the cookbook ;-)

Fabulous food; great atmosphere- would definitely recommend

Always look forward to having a meal at Brooks! It never disappoints. You can taste the freshness of the food. The greeting is warm and we’re made to feel genuinely welcome
