The food was outstanding. Very authentic food. We will all definitely love to go back again.
Food was excellent. Child playing with noisy tablet slightly marred the experience - the parent's not the restaurant's fault!
Amazing food and service in lovely surroundings. Will definately visit again!
Absolutely beautiful food, attentive staff and the overall atmosphere was lovely.
Lively atmosphere, stunning food and attentive staff. Fantastic experience from start to finish.
Great selection of tasty food at a great price. Thoroughly recommended
I have visited Bab Tooma a few times and quite enjoy the atmosphere and service there. The staff are very welcoming, very polite and very obliging. The ambience is nice and the dining area, water jugs and utensils are very clean. It is easy to find and there is a car park next door. The drinks are delicious with wide selection. The food menu has variety and is freshly cooked - not reheated, diners will be expected to wait. lentil soup is served free whilst you wait. The food is Syrian style and mostly grilled. For me, i would like more vegetables with my meal so you would need to order as an extra to your meal. The toilets are upstairs. I will definitely dine there again.
Went for mid week dinner with colleagues. Good food - we had a cold meze and 2 mixed grills. Plenty between 3. Service was a little slow as there seemed to be only one person taking orders, but otherwise it was a great cosy spot.
We didn't have to wait long as we made a booking online - the lady was very helpful over the phone when I advised I was running late. The food was delicious however we were seated in the middle part of the restaurant where it felt a bit congested but it was ok. The prices for food are ok as well although I would prefer to have more naan bread with the sharing platter for two.
Fantastic food and great service. Love the new serving dishes over charcoal for the grills - made it even more delicious 😋
Mind blowing Middle Eastern food, it just doesn’t get any better than this, from starters to the mains, just flawless
Very nice food and service , highly recommended . Give it. Try
Very happy with this restaurant. The staff are very good and the food is excellent
Food was great , toilet needs looking at and more than once I had to stand up and go looking for a waiter
Food was amazing but the position of our table wasn't great, we were sitting in a walkway but we will definitely return
Superb food friendly staff good service definitely recommend to all
Great food lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. We will be back.
WORST SERVICE. The table we were first shown to needed to be cleaned. We sat at the table for 15 minutes and despite asking for this to be done 3 times it wasn't. The waitress and waiter couldn't manage the tables between themselves. The waitress was working very hard but the waiter was rather lazy. The table wasn't even cleaned in between main course and dessert. We. cleaned it with the napkins and found the bin ourselves. Just disgusting. In retrospect we should have left St that point. Clearly poorly managed. Had heard very good things about this place. Will not be going back.
Good food in a friendly environment. Recommended. Right in the centre.
The food was absolutely lovely, but it was all dished out quite quickly. We asked for our starter to be a proper starter, and for the mains to be served after. While we were enjoying the starter the mains were already put on the table, which caught us a bit off guard, and we were done and dusted in under an hour where normally we take our time. Next time we'll make it a bit clearer, or order the mains after we have finished the starter. Also: portions (rice/wheat) are huuuuge! So for us that would be another 'can you please give us only about 1/3 of that' per dish.
Nice decor and ambience. Food was tasty and portions generous, good choice on the menu. Service a little slow for the amount of diners in the restaurant but overall a great experience.
First time here. Saw really good ratings online and so glad we came. Food was great, service superb and lively atmosphere. Loved it.
Great food. Slow service, could have been better. Nice atmosphere.
Awesome food. Will definitely go back again soon. Thank you
Service, staff & food all fantastic. Really had an enjoyable meal.
Food was cold and did not taste great. Maybe chose the wrong dish
We all really enjoyed the authentic atmosphere and the food.
Very relaxed staff lovely got rather busy later highly recommend
We went as a group of 5 and were all really happy with the experience. The service and food was fantastic will definitely go back when visiting the area.
Absolutely beautiful food, as usual. Took my mother in law as a treat and we all had a fantastic time. The service is great and the people genuinely lovely. We will be back!
All round friendly excellent restaurant near to the Alhambra Theatre.
Fantastic food cooked in front of you, accompanied with efficient service for a great value price!
Food good, staff friendly, very accommodating. Service was a little slow (not sure if this is usual though).
Food absolutely fantastic 10/10, highly recommended. Service on this occasion was a bit of a let down, very slow to clear away plates and waitresses were wondering around the restaurant eating which was inappropriate.
friendly staff. it was really a good experience in general.
As always, great food and pleasant staff. We'll be back :)
Service could have been better. We had soup but no soup spoons. We asked for these by the time we got them the soup was getting cold
It’s my first visit to Bab Tooma but certainly won’t be the last. The service was friendly and helpful, the food very tasty and reasonably priced.
Great visit- exceeded expectations; food delicious and promptly served; nice staff
This was our first visit, food was excellent and service was brilliant will recommend and return, thanks
Vijay and Amer (owners of Bab Tooma) are passionate about their restaurant and service. The food is authentic, delicious. They take their guests experience very seriously. We went to the restuarnat back to back two evening on 4.7.19 and 5.7.19 and on 5th they were overbooked and we had to wait 15-20 minutes. To make our experience better ( which anyway was not an issue given the delicious food they serve), they both attended to us personally, offering us soft drink, tea and dessert on the house. We offered to pay for the whole bill but they politely declined and said since you had to wait beyond your booking time, we consider this a gesture from our side. Wish them very best and hope to see them soon again when I am in Leeds/Bradford.
Amazing food and friendly atmosphere this restaurant is a Gem
