Reviews of Sesame Cafe & Sandwich

A. S.

Amazing food! Best falafel I have ever had! Fresh, varied salads that are both filling and tasty. Stuff couldn't be friendlier and more accommodating. So refreshing to find a place where you can eat delicious healthier food in Leeds. Love it!

D. F.

Sesame has a great mix of food, the salad bar is amazing and plentiful, great value, my colleagues have been converted to the sandwich/wrap of the day and often leave their homemade food in favour of Sesame food! The Daily soup is my absolute favourite, it is divine!!! Thankyou everyone, always a smile and great food!

F. F.

Amazing fresh food, so many options, ideal for the vegans and vegetarians.Lovely daily SPECIALS sandwiches/wrap. If you’re looking for delicious healthy food, this place is your spot. The salad bar is fabulous. You can choose whatever you want from the counter plus topping such as meat/fish/chicken / falafel and home made Persian dips. Will definitely be returning.

B. W.

Very easy to find this hidden gem as the delicious fragrant fresh foods guide you by the nose right to the door! Immediately you are over the threshold you are greeted by warm and welcoming smiles and fabulous smells and vibrant dishes being served. Everything is fresh, well balanced and delicious! From the coffee, to the amazing choice of salads, the schnitzel and falafel, the raspberry and chocolate brownies are irresistible. The portion sizes are generous and the staff cannot do enough to make you feel valued and welcome. A pleasure from start to finish. The big surprise with Sesame is the prices, extremely reasonable! A coffee for £2.20 and a filling lunch from £3.50. Sesame wins our vote! We are both well travelled foodies, eating out frequently, rarely do you find this kind of quality! Can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu! 20/10!

M. P.

The system inside is very hectic and confusing, and it’s so loud and hard to hear the staff but they’re very friendly and the food is delicious! Prices are fair too! I am making my way through their extensive vegetarian sandwich selection but the salad bar looks amazing too!

A. b. m.

Wow what fresh food serve here.i was referred by a friend..Daily special sandwiches and variety Of fresh salad bar. You can create your own salas with meat toppings, dips and humus with falafel. Highly recommended

a. t.

Just had a salad box now and it was amazing. Thank you very much. So tasty and fresh.

D. B.

First time eating from Sesame and it won't be the last. I couldn't resist the aroma as I headed out looking for lunch with a difference. The queue was long so I decided that it must be worth the wait and it was. I ordered a large salad which consisted of rocket, spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, noodles, olives, falafel, hummus, chickpea, new potatoes and tuna. All marinated beautifully to provide me with a very tasty lunch for £5.90. There are lots of other food items to add to your salad, the choice is yours. They also have a huge selection of sandwiches to choose from all freshly made and a little different from your Tesco cheese and tomato. Oh... And the staff are so friendly 😊 I definitely recommend this place.

C. N.

I love Sesame. Great salads and sandwiches and wraps. The warm felafel is amazing. Lovely staff, although a slightly chaotic queueing system!

T. D.

Decent felafel & chicken wrap with an enormous brownie! A bit of pricy though. There was quite a bit of a queue which, while annoying, is a good sign of a good place.

S. F.

Sandwich and salad was great, hot chocolate were tasty and staff is very friendly and helpful, I would recommend it to everyone👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊really good place ☺️

M. C.

I've seen colleagues with items from here and been somewhat envious so gave it a try today. I opted for the £5.50, 750ml "medium" salad bowl with a bit of everything (but not rocket, never rocket). I can't say anything negative about anything I tried, each component was fresh, packed with flavour and complimented each other really well. The falafel was the best I've had in a long time. Efficient service, incredibly friendly staff and in a handy location, thanks!

N. D.

High quality salad items (bringing a whole new meaning to the word, 'salad') - the falafels from here are probably the best I've ever had

H. L.

Amazing place! Walked past on my way in to town and was drawn in by the lovely smell and my family and i said we’d go in on our way back to the car. So glad we did! The service was fantastic - my little boy was given little freebies by the female owner (I assume) and me, my mum and sister were all treated to a taste of their absolutely delicious falafels, which I then bought some of. I got a chicken wrap and it’s the best thing I’ve ever eaten. A beautiful toasted flatbread with crispy chicken pieces inside with cabbage and onions and a fantastic spicy, garlicky yoghurt sauce. I’m sorely tempted to return again tomorrow. They do salad items and sandwiches too, as well as a great selection of cold refreshments. Would highly recommend

W. W.

Wonderful, happy welcome, fabulously fresh foods, presented beautifully, we both had a great time! The best eating out experience i've had in Leeds and i have lived here 40+ years!

E. R.

This place is amazing! I keep ‘forgetting’ to bring my lunch to work so that I have to go to Sesame! Amazing food for breakfast and lunch, I could never get bored of their salad bar! Sesame also went above and beyond when I asked them for catering for 10 in the office one day, the service was second to none and they couldn’t have done any more for us! The owners are such kind and welcoming people and you are always greeted with a smile from every staff member!

G. W.

Absolutely 💯% excellent, The Staff were friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble, all with smiling faces. A range of teas, coffees, and soft drinks, i had cappuccino with cinnamon, a first but fabulous. Falafel , this has got to be the best ever, i have tasted. An inspirational Salad bar, i had 2 surprises I've not had before haha, no am not saying, go and try them yourselves lol. Everyday a different "Special" i had chicken schnitzel, wow amazing. The chocolate Brownie i had a small piece of, my daughter ate the rest ).lol Fresh food at its best. Healthy and wonderful. Sesame i hope you go from strength to strength, you deserve an award . I shall return...... ( there are 4 more specials to try) .mmmmm

L. D. L. u. c. c.

Been here few times and each time pleasantly surprised with tasty food, generous portions and friendly welcoming stuff. Falafel is no doubt best in Leeds and today's chicken schnitzel turned out to be an ultimate comfort food! Great place, amazing food!

A. S.

Brilliant salad bar in Leeds. Everything is fresh and tasty. You can create your own salad box with many options of meat and vegetarian. Their daily special sandwiches are fantastic. Highly recommended. Very clean and excellent customer service.

f. s.

Unbelievable salad bar in Leeds.Full of flavour and taste. It works to come every day. You can create your own salad box with special meat,fish or veg toppings. The daily special sandwiches are also one in a million. Highly recommended to every one.

G. P.

The food and the staff are great here! Natalia and the rest of the team always treat me with a smile when I walked it and Sesame quickly became one of my favourite places to get lunch in Leeds. I usually eat here at least a couple of times a week now :)

O. L.

Absolutely excellent venue that never fails to impress. The food is fresh with a wide range to choose from. The staff are also brilliant, especially Natalia who is a breath of fresh air!

S. L.

Pricey, but worth it! Quality costs! Great place

G. S.

Best place in Leeds for lunch! I work all over Leeds and go out of my way to have lunch at Sesame. Ali, Natalia, Vicky and the team are very welcoming. Their food is superb, falafels are amazing and the salad bar has got to be the best in Leeds.

J. F.

Amazing sandwiches every time and lovely staff - I love it!

n. r.

Best salad in Leeds. I absolutely love this place. Me and a friend are regulars and the staff knows us already pretty well. asal a member of the staff, is always providing us a perfect service. Thanks for that!

d. t.

Would advise anyone to try food from this place. Everything is just so fresh and tasty, Staff are amazing, and the special menu changes everyday. Would highly recommend trying their lasagne... the portions is very big and half a tub can fill you up. Well deserved five stars from me.

M. M.

Quite simply the best breakfast and lunch place in Leeds.

A. M.

Brilliant breakfast and daily SPECIALS sandwiches. Every thing fresh and tasty. Healthy food. Highly recommended

A. S.

Great food. Everything is fresh and crispy. Falafels are definitely the best in Leeds. Plenty of choices for either vegetarians or meat eaters. Staff are friendly and welcoming. One of my favourite places.

r. a.

This is one of the best coffee shops I have ever been. I am now going there nearly every day and made friend with the lovely staff and the owner. Although they are extremely busy and usually there is a long queue during the rush hours, but they determined to keep to high standard customer services with lovely smile on their face all the time.... I would recommend any one to try their Falafel and Chicken schnitzel, special taste that you don’t get anywhere else!

C. S.

My whole office gets lunch here. Salad range is great and they know which salads are vegan. The falafel is amazing. It would be good if you could re-use your plastic containers. They normally just get binned in our office because they're non-recyclable.

S. K.

Went in for lunch today and bought the most gorgeous falafal (made in house, so light and fluffy), hummus and salad bun. Rare for a place to have vegan options, even rarer for them to be this nice... It was beautiful! Highly recommend and will pop in again next time I'm in the area!

M. M.

So much to choose from and the staff are always friendly and happy to make your food exactly how you want it. The freshly made Falafel is recommended. Great for breakfasts on a Friday morning.

A. M.

I enjoyed The salad and food. I love The home made giant falafel wrap and the fresh salad . I recommend it to everyone. I’d definitely make sure I go there again

J. E.

Great sandwiches and salad bar, coffee is good too, friendly staff. Falafel sandwich is a thing of beauty!

S. A.

The Best Falafel in Leeds (from my perspective as a Kuwaiti). Fresh, clean, and healthy eating. Very friendly service. I had the falafel sandwich with yoghurt instead of the mango sauce. Tasted just like one you’d get at home.

M. B.

I love the food. Healthy food and sandwiches I can go to a salad bar to have a healthy meal and there is enough ingredients to make it filling. Staff charmfull and friendly. Highly recommended

R. B.

Excellent! Asked about the vegan options and the lovely lady at the counter said it was limited today but she'd put a bit of everything in a salad box for me. I WAS NOT DISSAPPOINTED!! The box was brimming with potato salad, cous cous, noodles, falafel, veggies, olives toy name it!! I can't wait to go back on a day when they have the normal selection on. A medium tub was just under a £5, brilliant value for money, I got so much food!!

S.

I don't usually eat salads but this place let's you build your own with fresh ingredients, the falafel is the best part. The sandwiches are also really good.

q. p.

Love the salad box. Pick & choose from the counter, usually stuffed full in the container, topped with delicious toppings. Their falafel is something you should try. One of the best ones I've had.

E. C.

The falafel here is just incredible!! The sandwich and wrap are both really filling (the Tuesday wrap is humongous) Great veggie options too

M. M.

Sesame salad bar was recommended to me by couple of friends, but I tried it today and found the food absolutely fantastic. Fresh and tasty food. I definitely come back.

R. H.

Amazing salad bar. Very rare to see such is this variety in Leed.Everything is fresh and tasty. Love the daily specials sandwiches as well. Highly recommended.

B. A.

The service is very fast and clean, I can honestly say that you feel the freshness of food. The fact is that all the food prepared daily, and this is the highest value to me, and I always get sandwiches from them whenever I go to the city center, I lI hope you have tried it too, I will definitely recommend you the salads and their daily hot sandwiches

E. B.
