"Father's Day treat and found the Agora on TripAdvisor. Lunch for two, three courses, coffee and drinks for a very reasonable £60. Decor is light and airy, staff attentive and friendly, excellent range of gluten free options with special symbol on the large menu. We had starters of Sujuk and a Spicy Liver (not pictured). Both delicious and packed with flavour. For mains, Beef Stifado, a chunky beef stew served with rice, and a Sea Bass with spinach and feta. Both excellent. All washed down with legendary Mythos Greek lagers. Turkish coffee served on silver tray with Turkish Delight on the side was a lovely touch."

"My son expressed his desire for a restaurant that wasn't too fancy or too casual. It's always a challenge to gather grown-up sons for celebrations when they are spread out, especially when you're unfamiliar with the restaurants in Leeds. After scrolling for hours and exchanging options, we finally settled on Gallery 41, which happened to have a 20% off deal on all food for certain days in November - perfect for N's birthday. After a long journey and a chilly afternoon at Kirkstall Abbey, we were ready to eat, and boy, did we eat well. The olives were a hit with my sons and husband, while the garlic bread was described as some of the best they'd ever had. The Skin Fries were a crowd favorite, so much so that we almost fought over the last ones. The main dishes were equally impressive, with the meat eaters raving about the Spiced Pepperoni and the Vegetarian option wowing my husband. I couldn't resist the Florentina pizza, a personal favorite of mine. Dessert was a hit as well, with everyone indulging in their sweet tooth. The atmosphere at Gallery 41 was perfect for our family gathering - quiet, cozy, and conducive to good conversation. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I look forward to returning with the rest of my family and indulging in more of Gallery 41's delicious offerings. In the end, it's the simple things like family, good food, and quality time together that truly matter. Thank you, Gallery 41, for a wonderful dining experience."

"Five of us on a two day jolly at the Headingley Ashes Test match. We stumbled across this cafe on the Thursday morning and what a pleasure the place was. It was pretty full at 9am. The very efficient and friendly staff ushered us to our table and took our orders all full breakfasts and an additional tea cake (don’t ask! plus teas coffees. The quality was outstanding and a very reasonable £6.95 inc drink each. Needless to say we booked the following day just to be certain of a table ! A comprehensive menu coupled with great food plus superb staff make this a must go to cafe. We will return !"

"I went on a date night with my partner and was amazed at how delicious everything on the menu sounded. I chose the mixed grill and my partner had the chicken tagine, both of which were so tasty. The chef even came out to greet all the customers! There were plenty of vegetarian options and some vegan options available for those with dietary restrictions. The service was excellent and we enjoyed a lovely dinner together."

"We visited this restaurant last night, the first time in a few years. The service was good and friendly. The pate was okay, and the dough balls were also just okay. The calzone and mushroom risotto were average, while the gnocchi was okay. Overall, the food was nothing special. The prices were quite high, with beers costing £7.50 each and Sprites priced at £4.75. We ended up spending £162 for four people, including a bottle of mid-priced wine. We were not impressed enough to come back in a hurry."
