Visited for breakfast; was pleasantly surprised! The restaurant was clean and well maintained. The menu was interesting with a few surprises! One of the staff, I assume the manager, was very pleasant and checked if we were having a good time. Looked like they have many regulars, always a good sign! Would go again…

This was a great find! I generally avoid food courts in shopping malls, but was taken up here by someone else. I’m glad I was. This is a cross between a health food and fast food joint with a great seating area lined with bookshelves, artwork and kitschy wallpaper. I quite liked it. I’m sure that this place isn’t for everyone. I ordered a chicken wrap and had a side of peas. My friend liked the salad, but felt that the smoothie she had was like eating seaweed. Apparently they are planning to expand to the USA, and my guess is that if they select appropriate locations in cities and regions where people eat lots of granola and organic foods they could do okay: D.

I’ve walked past Leon at Brent Cross many times on my way to get a humble M&S sandwich for lunch. I thought it looked worthy of a try. After all, they do advertise themselves as serving natural fast food. I assume by that they mean healthy. I had the Chicken and Chorizo wrap. Whilst it didn’t look fantastic, it was tasty. Unfortunately, I have this weird thing about tin foil. I can’t stand the stuff. The wraps are served in tin foil so I had to be brave. The décor was OK and the price was nod bad. I wouldn’t have a problem eating here again. However I doubt I’ll be rushing back there either.

I really like this place, to the extent that I filled up my loyalty card and am now two stamps into my second. The baked fries are a must as a side! As an alternative to fast food I wish it was slightly less expensive so that I could get a coke instead of the lemonade which I’ve never thought was as good as the food. Plenty of seats in this place too so always a comfortable experience. Word of caution with the loyalty card, the«free kiss» is not actually a free kiss, its just a free stamp, how misleading and disappointing, I was looking forward to my free kiss.

Oh dear lord this place is gross. We popped in for a quick bite while shopping and desperately regretted the decision almost immediately. I’ve generally heard good things about Leon so I’m wondering if it’s just this particular branch that is so terrible, but it really was a complete waste of money coming here. We both ordered the chicken and chorizo with rice and slaw, unfortunately they had no rice so instead we got two of the chicken and chorizo wrap, one slaw side and one ‘corn off the cob’ side. The chicken and chorizo seemed to be the special of the day as it was advertised all over the place — I thought it was quite fail proof. Wrong. The lady serving me was in a world of her own. She barely spoke English, she was constantly distracted while I was placing my order, my boyfriend got Earl Grey tea when he ordered jasmine, she argued with the chefs about where the food was that she’d shouted the order to when they had already put it on the tray. Good lord, by the time I paid for my food and went to find a table I felt exhausted! The wrap was simply dreadful. Grey bits of manky chicken, dripping in some kind of mayo/water sauce with bits of brown lettuce and about 2 bits of chorizo. I didn’t finish mine, it was about halfway through that I saw the grey chicken and almost vomitted. The slaw was tasteless slushy veg(including peas) in the same watery/mayo slop and the corn seemed to be scattered with oregano. A random and unnecessary mix. How on earth can you ruin corn? Most of the tables were scattered with trays of half-eaten food and none of the tables look like they’d been wiped down. I won’t be making the mistake again.
