Reviews in Ilkley

This is a gem of a restaurant. The staff are tremendous, and the food terrific. We loved the diverse menu and the atmosphere too. A great evening.

Delicious food which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Great atmosphere and very helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely eat here again

Great food, great service. We will definitely be returning in the future

Lovely staff very helpful. Will come back.

Overall an enjoyable experience, food and service was excellent. My only criticisms would be that the kimchi could do with more vinegar or pickling juices as it was a bit dry. The chicken skewers and pork dish was delicious but found the sauce a bit too salty, particularly the pork dish which was a shame as otherwise it was beautiful. With a little bit of refinement to some of the dishes everything would be outstanding. Would visit again.

What a special find this was for my 70th. delicious, interesting food freshly made and beautifully presented. The owners were lovely - so friendly and welcoming. The decor and ambience makes for a relaxing, pleasant dining experience. We’ll be back soon!

Loved everything about our visit. The food, service and atmosphere all excellent.

Eaten at quite a few Tapas restaurants, but this one is different, in a VERY GOOD way. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our food, and it fitted perfectly before a show at The King's Hall. Will definitely re-visit. (It's shortly changing its name to reflect its Sri Lankan roots.)

This was our first visit to this restaurant even though we live in Ilkley. Wow the food was amazing and the staff were so lovely. There was plenty of choice and everything we had was really fresh and delicious and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.

Went to Brooks for the first time for my birthday last week and was very impressed. Nice friendly staff and atmosphere and lovely food. Will be back soon!

The Restaurant was beautifully finished and the host was great , the food was Excellent we had 6 of the meat tapas with coconut rice and chili potatoes we will certainly be back

Outstanding friendly and helpful service, delicious dishes and a perfect change from traditional holiday fare. A gem of a restaurant which has encouraged me to learn how to make kimchi! Portions are generous in most cases and three dishes per person more than enough. A lovely heartfelt story about how the restaurant came into being is a great touch. Ilkley must be very happy to have such a go-to destination!

Really, really tasty great food with fab staff!

Wonderful meal. This was the first time I had eaten at a Sri Lankan restaurant and the food was fantastic. We shared a Brooks platter as an appetiser and both had 2 tapas dishes each with a side of rice and found this to be just about right when both rather hungry. Very friendly and courteous staff who helped with our choice of dishes too, would highly recommend if tired of the same quinine’s and looking to try something fresh

We had a lovely dinner here post walk on Ilkley Moor. The food choices were interesting, beautifully presented and tasty--we ordered vegetarian and were impressed with each dish. Really enjoyed the gin/elderberry sorbet with the raspberry dessert. Highly recommend.

A restaurant to return to time and time again. Everything about our experience was so positive and delicious, too! Brooks is unique in flavors, service and atmosphere: 5 stars all the way

We had a lovely meal earlier this week. The service was fantastic. He was very attentive and explained the menu well. The food was lovely. The beef was very tender, the chicken livers were tasty and the tempura veg a delight. We thought the bread was a bit doughy so this was taken off our bill. We sat downstairs and even though we were near the door thought the atmosphere was nice.

Our first visit to Brooks and it definitely won't be our last. Delicious food, super-attentive and friendly staff and great service. The lovely owner is full of great stories about the dishes and the inspiration behind them. Go - you won't be disappointed!
