What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Casa Leeds is praised for its authentic South American cuisine and commitment to being entirely gluten-free, making it a standout choice for many diners. Reviewers often highlight the friendly staff and vibrant atmosphere. While most find the food delicious, some reviews mention a lack of flavor in certain tapas and a desire for more spice or a slightly larger portion size on some dishes.
"Brilliant place. Authentic South American food. No matter what you order, it is going to be delicious and mind blowing. Great team of staff.
It is a must visit restaurant and there is also a dance club upstairs, there are dance events and lessons on South American style dancing. Very fun places.
I have visited Casa for over 5 years and the high quality of food and the great service has been consistent."
Mo Bellamy
"Another solo meal……there’s an art to solo eating. Go high end or drop to lower end quieter. Go mainstream and you’re gonna to feel uncomfortable.
Casa is a simple but quality eating (and South American dance club if that’s your thing) venue. Halfway down Leeds’ Grand Arcade it offers an interesting array of South American foods. Offering a completely Gluten Free menu it’s niche. I ordered a glass of Pino Grigio while I looked at the menu. Not good. Sent it back. Got a Super Bock beer - superb. Ordered three dishes from their tapas menu. Lamb chops - delicious but lack of meat meant I felt shortchanged. Beef tacos - good but needed a little more spice/flavour, fried plantain with guacamole - delicious.
Something of a curate’s egg. I’m inclined to say I like it. But it needs to sharpen up in a couple of areas."
Mr B
"Great atmosphere, and mixed opinion by service (great staff for serving but not very pleasant from the desk on arrival).
Not many choices for vegan, as you can see in the images-we ordered all tapas which are vegan on the menu and i thought that I have ordered 2 each as they looked and tasted resemble.
I have seen many good reviews, hence decided to visit there- but lilttle disspointing. Personally thought that it is Slightly overly priced for what we get."
