El's Gourmet Leeds, UK

Honestly was really quite disappointed with the value of the food, the portion size, and even the taste of the burgers. I got the prawn and beef burger combo and the bottom half of the bun was not only clearly stale and a bit cold, but the flavour of the burger was just not right. Like there were too many flavours competing with each other. My husband got the one with onion rings in the burger and he thought the taste was weird as well. What I really was most disappointed in however was the price of the burger + fries: for about £4.50 we got a measly 6, thin onion rings and slightly less than that for a handful of very thin fries. As you can see from the photo, the burgers are really quite small - if they were £6-8 I wouldn’t be so upset, but my burger was £12+ just on its own. It was also quite hot inside which I won’t fault too much but would be nice to have a fan or something to cool us down. But it did take the chef 20+ mins to make our food - and we were the only ones in the restaurant. To give the benefit of the doubt, I suspect the chap at the till was also juggling doing the cooking. - he was really quite lovely, couldn’t really fault him. So yeah, went home barely full, having spent about £15pp with disappointing food in terms of taste and value really put a damper on us, seeing as we went out to celebrate my graduation. With a 4.7 rating on Google, I’d expected much better. I’d probably give this a 2.5 if Google did half stars. But yeah, wouldn’t recommend this place.

Small shop. But the burgers are incredible. Perfect consistency and taste. Definitely going back again! We loved the staff as well. Really helpful and hospitable.

I found this place by complete chance. Nice location. Great restaurnat with great selection and great price. Beautiful decor and interesting vibe. It is clean and tidy as well. They will make the burger for you after you order so it will always take some time - just be patient cuz they are so tasty and satisfying! So fresh and you can even see the cheeese melting there. You can order and come back later or you can just chill in the restaurant and talk to your friends. what a cozy place. Fab staff, they are very friendly and nice. You can ask for suggestion to get some inspiration if you are not sure what to order. But any of them will taste so great. You can also ask for vegan burger and they will make it for you. Dine-in or takeaway are all available.

You definitely need to try the cakes here - yummy, filling and eye catching. My favourite cake is bistoff cheesecake. Music was chilling and easy listening - nice ambience. Very friendly staff making me feel welcomed after a rock hard day at work. Been here a few times. Definitely recommend the place.

Phoned earlier this week to book a table for myself and 3 colleagues following a team catch up in Leeds. Absolutely brilliant fantastic food and Marcus the owner looked after us. I'm a believer in looking after small businesses like this, so if you're looking for a great burger, salad, steak and selection of sides and drinks then absolutely give this place a shot and you will not be disappointed.. Thanks again mate, we really appreciated your hospitality and excelent food.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
