Reviews in Ilkley

Our first visit and won't be our last. Great service., lovely atmosphere and fantastic food! All round perfect evening!

Brilliant food, lovely staff, good value

Excellent food - flavours were intense and portions were spot on. This restaurant is a true gem centrally located in Ilkley that delivers for all occasions. Service was attentive too - a very pleasant evening. Thank you.

A lovely friendly tapas restaurant with really flavoursome tasty food that we like

A lovely dining experience with a great choice of dishes- we will be back

Fabulous NYE meal. Great atmosphere, really helpful but not obtrusive staff. Food as always was all totally scrumptious! Both wine and food are priced fairly. The addition of the very genuine end of evening check back, to ensure everything had been as we hoped it would be, was welcomed.

Great friendly service and very tasty interesting menu

Is by far the best place in Ilkley to have your evening meal

Lovely meal, light, delicious food. Favourite ilkley place, and such good service.

Fantastic service and wonderful food. The staff were extremely attentive and looked after all 5 of us with excellent and fast service. The food was very very good and it was a nice touch for the owner to come and say hello and to make sure we enjoyed our experience

Great location, great atmosphere but most of all great food! The staff are so lovely I will definitely be dining here again.

We are regular visitors to Brooke’s and we’re never disappointed. The food, atmosphere and most of all the service is excellent. The food is both delicious and imaginative. Can definitely recommend and it’ll not be long before we’re enjoying another meal there.

Wonderful, well flavoured and spiced (rather than just pure heat) food. Well presented and good front of house service.

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.
