Excellent food, the Tandoori Burger was fantastic. One minor quibble, the upstairs seating area is like sitting in a storeroom with a very flimsy room divider in place which is not easy on the eye. Whole area needs making more cosy. Otherwise good, food and service both v good.

Wow…. Food was absolutely divine! Staff are so welcoming and go out of their way to make you comfortable. I would recommend anyone to go to Totem’s 5*****

Food was ok, portion size wasnt over large to represent the cost and quality was poor when the pasta was undercooked and drinks were extortionate Cost for 2 sandwiches 1 pasta and coke for three £49

Had a lovely meal with friends Saturday August 24 at 6pm. We booked the day before and pre-ordered on the day as there was an event on at Piece Hall. The food arrived on time and was good value - the drinks were also fab (note to return and have more cocktails!) The staff were very friendly and helpful even though it was incredibly busy.

Lovely lunch. Food fresh, piping hot and full of flavour. Excellent coffee. Waitress friendly, articulate and clearly proud of a job well done. Made every effort to ensure we had a good experience. Would definitely recommend!

Enjoyed a very pleasent meal here on Friday early evening... Food delicious.. Very reasonably priced. Staff very professional. Really kind and polite.. A gentleman was training up a new member of staff and he did it so well, engaging with the staff in question and guiding them gently through what would be expected of them.. We where on a visit to Halifax and we will be coming back and eating at Totem. Small attention to detail... We where going to Tom Jones at the Piece Hall, background music inside Totem was a selection of Tom Jones music.
