Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

My uncle and aunt brought us here for Friday evening dinner and what a treat it turned out to be! The menu was amazing with a varied and imaginative choice of dishes. This has to be a great tourist attraction which Leeds can truly be proud of. I can highly recommend this friendly restaurant.

I recently took a group of 34 people to this restaurant. I booked in advance, and was so impressed by the helpfulness of staff. When we arrived all the staff were so friendly and helpful. I had some reluctant carnivores with me, who were very dubious, but by the end of the evening they were all singing praises for the food and staff. The food smelt and tasted wonderful. You left feeling you had eaten well, and had not simply filled your stomach with rubbish and oil. Very good prices, and great food and staff. High recommendation, from vegetarians, and now converted carnivors!

excellent pub and restaurant lovely food and lovely accommodation.

very nice traditional type pub , with real ale and good food well worth a visit

nice food service very slow Ill try again

We dined here on Friday 7th August 2009, it was a very good service and a very very nice meal the steak was cooked to perfection and we all enjoyed all of our meals, I would fully recommend this restaurant to anyone who was looking for that something special. They even do REAL snake on the menu (not for me though!!) We had a meal for 4 people which included starters,mains and Irish coffees two bottles of wine and several beers and it came to around £186, They gave us a 25% discount as we joined there reward scheme so in total it was around £156 which we thought was quite reasonable.

We ate here some time ago and I kept meaning to add this review it was a disgusting meal and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone the place is dark and dingy and the wine is some cheap £2.00 wine (that you could buy from your local supermarket) and they try and charge you £15.00 a bottle for it!! There were about 9/10 of us and some people said there meal was ok but I am speaking for myself and my partner we sent ours back and did not get a replacement as it totally put us off. Spare yourselves and don't go ever!!

Been a regular customer for the past 3 yrs, great food, great service, reasonable prices - highly recommend it.

Fantastic Food, really lovely staff. Good Value for Money

This place was awful the hostess was very rude and had a very bad attitude spoiled what should have been a lovely night, the food was not very good at all very disappointed

I have visited Brooks over a number of years, the food is excellent - good winelist, not too pricy - good selection of bottle beers, the decor shabby chic with eclectic art work - very stylish. Try the spam fritters - they are famous! And the puds are scrummy!

Very nice food and friendly staff, not much parking though.

I love this restaurant, Staff very friendly and the food is fab! the onion Bhaji are the best I have ever tasted

I love this place! The nicest food I have ever tasted. The staff are all really friendly and Knowledgeable.Service is excellent 10/10 for everything.

THE ONLY PLACE TO EAT IN MIDDLESBROUGH IF YOU WANT QUALITY FOOD. FORGET THE OTHER SO CALLED ITALIAN RESTAURANTS THIS PLACE IS THE BUSINESS. HAPPY STAFF GREAT SERVICE AMAZING FOOD KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

What is the chef trying to achieve here. Whilst he is undoubtedly a skillful operator, the combinations of flavours and textures he applies to his dishes are well below par for a Michelin star chef. This guy is trying too hard and failing. Yes at first hit his flavours are OK, but when you get into your third or four mouthfuls, it starts to go all wrong. Too many things are going off to the point that you don’t get to taste the main ingredient. Your palette becomes confused. Mine said to me - what’s this baby food… come on lets go somewhere else. I had to agree with it. The Burlington is not cheap so you expect better. £80.00 - 90.00 per head is easily achieved with wine. Don’t get me wrong, service, setting etc is good, and most will not be disappointed. It all depends on what experiences you have had in the past. In my opinion you can enjoy a better dining experience elsewhere in this part of the world.

We booked the Lebanese night at the Veggie. What a disappointment and I mean disappointment. To be serviced a couple of spoonfuls of couscous and three tiny rock hard tasteless veggie balls for a starter is not acceptable. The main course was no better, this time five spoonfuls of tasteless uninteresting bean mush. The only good thing about the whole experience was the desert - which was bought in, and the wine that we brought along. If you like plain uninteresting food and eat like a mouse then you will not be disappointed.

Good food at good prices - these boy from Wakefield near Hull are bringing bangla flavour from bangla to the Yorkshire which is why I go to aroma. Place is small but went with boyfriend and he enjoyed cozy atmosphere.
