Great little bar. Lovely atmosphere, great local. Manager Joe is so knowledgeable about beer and wine he can always make a recommendation. And he and his team are super lovely. Recommend Thursdays in particular for the pop up lasagne.

Lived in Adel 30 years & we needed this. Credit to the team for taking the risk and doing it. Now down to us/Adel to support protect and enjoy it. Since set up, they’ve had a) Lawnswood MK2 & b) the other bar to contend with. I don’t see either as competition since I’d not go there. Allowing dogs is a good gives an excuse most nights - Jeske loves it. Thursday night Lasagna was lovely. Cosy place good food, nice beer. Excellent staff 10/10

Fantastic place to visit and so lucky to be local! Always fantastic beers on draught and served by such lovely people. The food is delicious and very grateful they’re offering Niko’s full time! If you’re passing or if you’re a local, well worth a visit!

Not from the area, pass through mainly on weekends with work, actually stopped to use the garage to grab a sandwich across the road and never realised butterfly's was there in the past, so gave it a try, great customer service food was delicious and fairly priced will definitely be coming back whilst passing through at work.

They offer the full menu via delivery and the pizza is amazing. The toppings are quality and the dough is lovely. We’ve eaten in and it was great but for a delivery I reckon it can’t be beat. Blows Rudy’s and Ecco out of the water.

A hidden treasure in Adel. Freshly made italian food without the fuss. Starters we had were Focaccia and mixed Bruschetta. Both were very tasty. Mains of gnocchi and risotto were not so good but the cannoli & orange cake made up for this. Relaxed atmosphere. Give it a try.

Great little Italian restaurant. Good basic menu with pizzas, pasta and some more traditional Italian mains. But tbh we all ordered from the specials board, so if they haven't got something on the main menu don't be put off. It was fish heavy. Which I love and I went with the lobster ravioli but it was nearly the halibut with butter sauce. The desserts were lovely too. I heard the bread and butter pudding ( not so Italian) was amazing but my tiramisu hit the spot. Bran dy after and a tad over £100 for 2 starters, 3 mains 3 desserts and glass of wine and 4 soft drinks. Will definitely visit again. Lovely staff, really lovely feeling to the place.

This beautiful little place offers the finest Italian food I have ever eaten. I have been all over this country, the mediteranian and the world. No competition! Marco who is from the paradise Island of Sardinia, who we have known for many years is simply fantastico! His family, brought up in North Leeds complement the amazing family atmosphere. You cannot fault the friendliness, the food and the service! Magnifico to you Marco and your totally amazing family, Andreà and Sara for the constant warmth and hospitality you have shown us here in Adel . God bless you all!

Dastaan has become our go-to spot, and every visit is an absolute delight. The moment you step through the doors, you're greeted by warm, friendly staff who make you feel like family. The atmosphere is always inviting, setting the perfect tone for an incredible dining experience. During our latest visit, we started with their Chicken Tikka, which was nothing short of perfection—succulent, flavorful, and expertly spiced. For mains, we indulged in the Butter Chicken, a dish that can only be described as divine. The creamy, rich sauce with tender chicken is a testament to Dastaan's mastery of Indian cuisine. But what truly blew us away was the Chocolate Chilli Brownie for dessert. It was the best I’ve ever tasted—a perfect blend of rich chocolate with just a hint of heat, creating a unique and unforgettable flavor profile. The cocktails at Dastaan are equally amazing, with the old Fashioned standing out as a personal favorite. It’s expertly crafted, balanced, and the perfect complement to the meal. In short, Dastaan consistently delivers exceptional food and service, making every visit a memorable experience. It’s a place we can’t recommend highly enough!

Dastaan is the only solid place to go and enjoy, considering quality of food and the best service. We visit every 2-3 weeks with two children and always had the best experience. Staff is always friendly, never delay on food, always delicious. I can’t recommend this place enough. Our top picks are: spinach and kale bhaji, lamb chop, nalli nihari, prawn starter, truffle naan, pistachio kulfi, mango lassi. Thanks Dastaan team. ❤️

We heard the reviews about Daastan and it didn't disappoint. It was spotlessly clean. Little touches like air freshener being discreetly sprayed in the entrance were a nice touch. The service was really attentive and the food was great.

We went for a meal here on Sunday, and wow it was just incredible. We have been here a few times now, it isn’t very close by to us but it is well worth the drive. The service is always fantastic but the food is unbelievable. We have never not enjoyed any of the dishes!

Lovely food and experience. We felt the food was authentic Indian food. We loved the starters and the light naan. The chickpea curry could've had more spice but it wasn't bad. Will certainly be returning.

The food is fabulous, highly recommend the Turkish eggs and also the pastries. I would suggest asking for some of the pastries to be heated like spinach & feta or the chocolate, hazelnut and pear (they won't offer but will do upon request). Coffee is great, and service is rapid meaning you can stop before your train. Booking looks advisable as always busy.

Breakfast was really nice! I had the french toast and it was delicious, the orange mascarpone made it very refreshing so it wasn't too sweet. The portion size was also huge. We also had the breakfast brioche, again very delicious but definitely recommend it with added bacon.

Incredible place! I wish I had a better photo of how it arrived! Honestly one of the best English breakfasts I have ever had. It is difficult to elevate a fry, but they managed. Mushroom with lemon and thyme, homemade beans, perfect poached eggs, great coffee. Seriously impressive place. Everyone else was really happy with the food as well. Service was fast and kind.

Arrived, Leeds is a mission and half to drive to over Xmas. Breakfast with extra egg, amazing did look at the pancakes, but I'm having something like that for the dessert or sweet. Upstairs was packed. Will book a reservation in future. Spiced chocolate cake? I think.p

This is my first visit to this establishment, and I must say it has left a remarkable impression on me. Opting for breakfast here in the morning was undoubtedly the right choice. From the very first moment, the young and attentive staff ensured a warm and welcoming experience. The time spent here, combined with the unique atmosphere, is as exceptional as the food itself. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who has yet to try the local cuisine – it is truly worth the visit.

First time today with my daughter. I must say the food truly exceeded my expectation. It was very busy at the time and we were told to wait outside with the outdoor heating on. We were given a table inside fairly quickly. Not many cafes would do Turkish eggs and I’ve tried this at 3 different cafes and by far House of Koko is by far the best. The bread came with it was thick and fluffy. We’ll definitely be back again!

Popped in for coffee, while I waited for my wife to have her eye operation, but ended up having a very nice breakfast indeed - it's not very often I'm in this neck of the woods living out York way, but with the wife going in for eye surgery at a local hospital and a wait of a couple of hours, no point in travel back home to turn round an come straight back. Thats why the coffee hunt, so glad I did - good strong coffee with a very nice eggs royale, on an english muffin. Spot on and service was excellent

We visited on the day they were releasing their new menu and the food was absolutely unreal. So beautiful and so tasty. They have nailed it! I had the smashed peas. Everyone working was so lovely and one of the chefs even came out to deliver a sauce and explained what was in it and a bit about the food. Can tell they were excited about the new menu and for good reason. Can’t recommend it enough.

Lovely atmosphere and great place to go for brunch and catch up with friends. Hot drinks were really good, the food was very tasty and it’s a very instagramable place and plates! The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the waffles! It felt they were warmed up and not fresh. But I will definitely go back 😃

I had pre booked an afternoon tea for my sisters birthday, and when we arrived we were not disappointed. The external was welcoming and clean, and we were greeted within seconds of walking in the door. We were seated quickly by very friendly staff who had asked about our day, and made sure we had everything we needed. Once the beautifully presented afternoon tea arrived, we were totally suprised at what was actually on it. We were thinking the usual type sandwiches, but nope, it was beautiful Mediterranean foods, an array of colours and packed full of flavour. Throughout the time we were there, staff were happily chatting to customers coming through the door, but also cleaning and ensuring the shop looked spit-spot. Absolutely made our 1st trip to Leeds a delight, accompanied by much needed sunshine to brighten the day.

Had the afternoon tea here via a Groupon and it was absolutely amazing left feeling full and the mimosa was lovely. Fresh tasty food and amazing vibes with the neon light and pretty atmosphere. Lovely coffee as always. Staff were very accommodating and friendly would come back again any day! Small inside so worth booking online but it adds to the cozy vibe!

I went with a friend, we had an amazing brunch! Savena was super friendly and welcomed us very well! Sara took our order and made sure everything came to us correctly. I enjoyed Irish coffee.To eat, I ordered a Croque Madame, but without the prosciutto. Chef Matt was very thoughtful in preparing the order without the prosciutto and it was delicious! The atmosphere is cozy and sooo beautiful, perfect for a coffee with a friend or to take the family. We had a lovely time there, I’m exited to come back soon!

Me and my partner eat here often. They always have amazing cafe food and coffee and the staff have always been great and friendly. The veggie breakfast and jacket potatoes are always good. They always go above to cater for my gluten allergy and I love their banana bread. I recently had the tea for two experience with me and my mum, and it was fantastic - they did gluten free options for me and were really good and probably the best tea for two I’ve had! Would definately recommend.

My fiance works here and took me here for my birthday. Visited England for a week. First time having an Afternoon Tea and it was amazing. The staff wanted to meet me while I visited. They was all lovely. The best thing I ate was the salmon sandwich that was part of the Afternoon tea. Probably the best thing I ever had. Their cream cheese and chives pulled it off greatly. The other sandwiches was amazing and the soup was great. I loved trying scones with cream and jam for the first time. The food is great. I think the tea cups and plates are adorable. I had a great time! Thank you! I also love the natural lighting and atmosphere of the place. Thank you so much!

Beautiful yet casual dining experience! We ordered 3 specials; 2 open steak sandwiches and 1 beetroot risotto. Cooked/seasoned/garnished perfectly. Lovely cafe with an abundance of natural light, accompanied by tentative staff and airy space. £50 for 3 meals, 3 drinks and an additional side. Highly recommend. Gluten free options available also*

We thought we would try this cafe again as we had not been here in a while. We were greeted by a friendly and polite member of staff and shown promptly to a table. The selection of food is quite wide and a great selection of pasties and cakes. You order at the till but you have to set your own table as cutlery isn't provided by the staff. The cafe is very well spaced out and you can feel quite comfortable and relaxed They also have comfortable sofa type chairs to sit on. I would say probably best to book these if possible. I ordered the 8oz bacon joint and we also had risotto. The latte I had was really good My food was very well cooked and served hot. It was really tasty 😋 My partner said the risotto was served hot and was very good. Overall it was a great experience and definitely will be going back. Price wise this cafe is at the top of the price scale so best to be aware before hand. The quality is definitely worth paying for. ❤️❤️😋😋 Well deserved 5 stars from me
