    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 Β£2.20 and a filling lunch from Β£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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    This was was absolutely buzzing for their daily special. Once you have placed your order expect to wait for a while. You get to watch them freshly make and compile 100s of specials which seems a well oiled machine. After tasting the sandwich you can understand why it's so busy. 10/10, crispy juicy snitzel and full of flavour. Tasty and great value for money.

    Me and a family member went here just for a quick take out drink around 10:30 to 11:00 am and it was absolutely empty at least no queues but I was expecting something more. I had ordered a mocha and my dad had ordered a cappuccino, first of all the woman serving us got our orders mixed up so I drank half my dad's cappuccino thinking it was a mocha and that it tasted funny. Even though we switched my mocha still tasted bitter and not right. Secondly, when I was in the restraunt both doors were wide open and this was in November so it was FREEZING inside the cafΓ© and they had obviously let flies in and they were buzzing around all the food and there was cheese and butter just left open with a dirty knife on top that bugs were getting to. It made me gag and wonder how my drink was made if those were the standards. Would not recommend. Just to let you know if you have a disabled badge around park square I'm not sure in other places but you can park for free if you have a disabled badge.

    Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely place in Leeds . The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Absolutely the best meal we had while in Leeds ( Sesame ). Highly recommend!

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

    Great sandwich shop with lots of choices of sandwiches. It's on the expensive side, but that's pretty usual at the moment. They do good specials during the week. The falafel wrap is a winner!

  • 4/5 Luke R. 1 year ago on Google
    Big sandwiches with lovely fillings. Vegan and vegetarian food options. Can get busy but quieter in-between the hours.

    PLEASE WEAR HAIR NETS! I have been here a few times and the chicken schnitzel is really nice. Today I found hair in my sandwich. Please consider wearing hair nets and gloves when preparing and making sandwiches. Having long loose hair around food is not a good idea.

    Usually an amazing chicken wrap which is why so many people line up to purchase. It seems recently that in an effort to serve people faster they're prepping ahead of time and reheating the whole thing, resulting in warm salad and a soggy wrap. I'd prefer to queue a bit longer to get the wrap fresh.

    Nice food but I have noticed some inequality in the salad bar as the server pile high the food when serving men but give less portion sizes when serving woman, and one server gives more especially if you are vegan. Also one server gives more than the other server so you may come away with a medium box that has a low portion in but still charge the same price. very unfair and off-putting. it is woman serving as-well so this is not a comments on male humans.
