After a day birding in Birmingham I was not looking forward to the drive home down the M5 in rush hour and after a painful two hours I was starved and happened to stop at Strensham Services where I discovered this absolute gem of a fast food restaurant. It was as quick as you would expect from fast food restaurants but it was actual food, actual fresh proper hot food. All the ingredients were recognisable, the halloumi had the perfect grilled cheese squeak, the lettuce was green and crunchy and damn that homemade sauce was frigging gorgeous. I even enjoyed the tomatoes! Oh and the fries, proper potato lattice fries where you could taste the actual potato rather than the tons of salt added after cooking. They were good enough to eat without any extra sauce.
My only question now is when does Cardiff get one?
Had a very pleasant surprise when we found the Leon restaurant in the Trafford Centre yesterday. We were looking for somewhere to eat to avoid the rush hour traffic on the way home after a long day. This can be a bit depressing at times as my partner is a gluten free vegetarian which can make life complicated. However, we spotted Leon and had a look at the menu and were really stunned to see so many options my partner could have. In the end she went for the meatfree meatballs and I had the satay chicken box. The food was excellent with decent portions and the service was friendly and first class. Fast food has never been like this and we'll definitely be back.
So great to find somewhere that everyone can eat, wether you're vegan, dairy intolerant (me) or just want good, healthy food. Great to find this place North of London (Trafford Centre).
I’m amazed by the quality of the food and the price.
Best food I’ve ever eaten at service station on the motorway!!
Southwalk branch - amazing healthy fast food. Chicken meatballs with brown rice and satay chicken naked which comes with a great salad both really good. Great value for money and friendly, helpful staff xx
Great coffee best in town , Lovely friendly staff , thank you for a great start to the day x�� #manchester
Just been to the Leon in Knightsbride. Such brilliant service. The staff here are so friendly and helpful xx best one I have been too x
One of the perfect Spanish restaurants in the heart of the Borough Market, near the South Bank in London. If you have a fascination for different types of flavoured rice then this is your one spot location.
I have ordered Coconut lentil rice and Chicken Meatball rice with Spanish herbs. They serve the very best Spanish food at Leon. Do try it out once. I can bet you won't be disappointed.
Delicious and healthy food at a competitive price. Got a quinoa salad with chicken, peas and pomegranate for lunch and it was very tasty. Even though it is readily available for take away, it tastes just as good and fresh. Really recommend it!!
A great place to eat in! The food is very tasty and the staff is so nice! The meatballs and rice are delicious, as well as the cookies and cappuccinos! Love the place.
A great Mediterranean restaurant situated in the Southwark.
I went there once only for a drink but I heard they specialise in fast food which was quite convenient as well. The venue itself is really cosy, comfortable and all the staff is quite nice and helpful.
It also has seating outside which we used. The venue is quite affordable as well as we spent less than £20 on drinks
If you live or work in the area, Leon is worth visiting.
A lovely place where to eat for lunch, especially if you work in the area.
There are many spots where to sit at Leon and enjoy some good food. Indeed, they have chicken burgers and very fresh salads with avocado, or any other vegetable. I have been there twice and the atmosphere of the place is cozy thanks to the wooden floors. Leon is perfect for lunch rather than dinner because the place spreads a lot of sunlight thanks to the windows and many apertures it has.
In terms of prices, they are good and around a sum of 15 £ for two people. I would certainly suggest going and trying it out because of its variety of dishes and salutary menu.
In 3 words: FAST – GREEN - FRESH
Tasty lunch place. Their fries are delicious and the play good music.
Service was quick and efficient. The kids chicken nuggets were ok but nothing special. The chips were tasty.
Refreshingly plant-based and creatively spiced food next to the Tate Modern. Autumn Mezze Salad offers an explosion of flavours and textures that will titillate your tastebuds. (I apologize in advance for the annoying nature of this review). But don’t let that stop you from coming here, which has an attractive high-ceilinged, glass-walled factory chic type of aesthetic.
Fast and efficient service. Many pleasant tables at which to sit and savour a meal that’s good for you and for Planet Earth.
I have been a fan of Leon for many years, I have always admired their innovative approach to their menu, and quality healthy food, fast. One thing I have always appreciated about Leon is the warm friendly staff. It is still something I look forward to when I visit.
This visit was no exception. I had not visited for a while and the lovely staff member remembered me. My favourite dishes on the menu at the moment are Chicken Satay with brown rice and slaw side salad, the combination is so fresh & tasty. It did not disappoint. Thank you team. I see how hard you work and appreciate you.
Love my trips to this Leon. Exceptionally welcoming and friendly staff who know their customers like old friends so much more than the numbers on the collection screen. The food here is top notch. The freshness and juiciness of the food shows that it’s always cooked to order, never reheated never defrosted .
Tasty and good view of the Tate! Outdoor seating and student discount also 😁
Update: We went in this evening and ordered food, it was simple as you are able to use a touch screen kiosk. We ordered the Aioli Chicken (Chargrilled chicken thigh with creamy garlic aioli, a sprinkling of sumac and pomegranate seeds), Korean Chicken Burger (Chargrilled chicken thighs, raw kimchi slaw and, Korean mayo) Moroccan Me*tballs (fresh herbs, toasted seeds, and garlic aioli). My daughter wanted extra Me*tables and while it wasn’t available to add via kiosks the associates were kind enough to assist. Many of the items are gluten free or made so by adding a gluten free bun. This food is delicious, light yet filling and will be missed by us in Texas.

Aug 1, 23’. Delicious and light food. Delivered to us right on time.
You know... this chain (this store) is actually really good. They provide a comfy seating area, decent coffee, healthy food, and I read they are ACTUALLY good to their staff! Raising wages when the company does well. Only criticisms would be 1/ the queue system is both confusing and confrontational.. 2/ I had the equivalent of a breakfast bacon and egg mcmuffin... and they have made it TOO healthy... I don't want weird brown wholewheat bread and odd tomato chutney. Do us an English muffin and pop a ketchup sachet on there.
First visit here, asked for a recommendation to the nice lady behind the counter named Leumim and was told the Satay chicken was great as long as I had no peanut allergies and had no other dietary requirements. My partner had the smaller black bean box and a CleanGreen Shake.
Food was tasty and fresh along with the nice atmosphere. The only thing I would change was the shake being a little too thick for both our liking.
Would highly recommend this place for lunch.
They have a wide range of products available and the vegan burger was delicious!
The place is also welcoming with friendly staff and an interior layout that doesn't smack of cheap fast food. Charging stations and WiFi being available also greatly Improves customer satisfaction
Store reccomended for takeaway during COVID lockdown as there's seating outside in front of the Tate to eat the takeaway. Very healthy fast food, lots of delicious choices! They use quality chicken here. We tried the parm chicken burger, which was absolutely yum, but tried also the GFC (gluten free nuggets) and this was probably the best chicken nuggets I've ever tried. Crunchy, loads of meat and love the Aliolí dip. The side-dishes with the baked potato are quite good as well! I am definitely revisiting! Staff was attentive and quick service.
This is the best Leon in London. Impeccable quality standards, with a clean and hygienic ambience. The food is delicious with great choices for vegans and vegetarians. The staff is super friendly and it’s a great place to spend time with friends and family. With an awesome location, prepare to spend some quality time while you munch on various delicacies from their ever changing mouth watering menu. My personal recommendation is the Love burger and Moroccan Meat balls.
You could hardly do better for atmosphere from a chain eatery. Spacious, quiet, great location near MoMA. Food is typical Leon, good, though some quantities are on the small side. Breakfast pots are tasty. Coffee is priced equivalent to a cafe.
Pleasant place to stop off for a light breakfast.
I enjoyed my egg and mushroom muffin, particularly because of the delicious homemade ketchup which took it to the next level. Reasonable prices and good service.
The window seats are great for watching the world go by.
