    Went to Prezzo Italian restaurant at the light in Leeds. Lovely place, nice and quiet on a Sunday evening. Parking close by. Food was delicious, and fair priced especially when using meerkat. Great experience overall.

    This shopping centre is in the core of the Leeds City Centre. Has all that you need to enjoy a weekend with your friends and loved ones: You can have a romantic dinner, enjoy fantastic chocolate desserts, see a movie at the Vue cinema, play mini golf, spend one hour saving the world in an scape room or having some drinks to finish your night.

    Actually really good fun right in the centre of town! Even though "crazy golf" doesn't sound like much this was great fun for all of us.

    Quite a building with interesting architecture. Access to the Radisson Hotel. and Vue cinema. Lots of places to eat with tempting food. Have not accessed the shops. Good parking with Q-parks very handy with only a short walk to Leeds First Direct Arena. (Shows offer a discount parking code)

    Son had best time with his cousin last night at the Vue 🙂although I went to prezzo and the food there serving is disgusting and staff including management need a refresher course on customer service. Raddison blu Firelake restaurant and all staff involved on 2 occasion fix up very poor. If anyone involved in this review or in that beautiful building would like to talk just contact me. It’s all love, no hate we elevate and learn

    The place is very neat and clean, I visited it once, I went to the cinema with my friend. The cinema is very comfortable and quiet. I loved this place and it is worth a visit. This place is located in the city center. And near to many public buses.

    Very comfortable seats at this cinema . Staff are always lovely and friendly. They do a traditional introduction of the film by a member of staff (which is a nice touch), it's brill when Philip does it as he's soooooo enthusiastic- love him . Snacks are a bit on the pricey side . We have light cards and pay 15.99 a month for unlimited films . We go at least once a week, sometimes twice . Its incredible value for money . Would recommend

    Went for a meal in Zizzi's lovely centre, not particularly warm considering it was an inside venue, but the evening was cold with snow forecast. Would visit again.

  • 5/5 Surinder D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great shopping centre and cinema Great seating areas food restaurants and very clean and lively!

  • 5/5 Paul B. 1 year ago on Google
    Love visiting Vue in the Light every week. They have invested heavily since Covid and it makes for a great experience. Broad range of movies in wonderfully refreshed surrounds.

  • 4/5 Sumitha P. 1 year ago on Google
    A cozy place for winter. The Nandos in this place is good. Car park is way expensive especially with a cinema in the mall. Could have been better with more shops...

  • 5/5 Valentine M. 1 year ago on Google
    It was one of the greatest cinemas I have ever seen with beautiful lights . The thing they can add are 🌈 lights. it'll make it more majestic however some may be sensitive to flashing lights .but even tho this is the greatest cinema ( so says my son Christian 10yrs old )

  • 5/5 Brian A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good place to look around and eat and drink very friendly staff

  • 5/5 Shilpee S. 4 months ago on Google
    Great ambiance... especially when decorated with many beautiful lights.. Haven't explored this place much but the Vue cinema.. which is awesome

  • 4/5 Nic S. 10 months ago on Google
    Most comfortable cinema seats I've ever used, and very generously spaced. Snack pricing is absurdity pushed to the point of being offensive, and the layout of the place is strange and not excellently signposted. Would however recommend if you smuggle in your own food! Just don't tell them I said that

  • 5/5 Kayleigh H. 10 months ago on Google
    Always a positive experience. Went to the Vue cinema. Clean and welcoming, friendly staff throughout. Good selection of restaurants, bars and entertainment venues.

  • 5/5 Matthew C. 11 months ago on Google
    Bought as a Christmas gift. First escape room I’ve ever done and was much harder than I was expecting! Escaped with 4 mins to spare!

  • 5/5 Robert B. 11 months ago on Google
    Doctors surgery grade A. Retinopathy clinic grade A. Picture houses, cafes, bars, escalators grade A. Toilets on the top floor. Recommended for children's groups on visits.

  • 5/5 Nabila P. 8 months ago on Google
    I've come here after many years, and, it has improved a lot! The ambience, feels so welcoming, and they now have halal restaurants! Get out of the light towards headrow, and you will see Tamatanga restaurant on your left. A south Indian place for dining in, selling veg, vegan and non veg! I must say, I dis ask if it was halal? They said yes, but I did want some sort of written proof/certificate saying the same! The lady kindly provided the halal certificate, so we were rest assured! Bear in mind, I had 12 members of my family to show as well! Food was absolutely fantastic! Cannot even say, one thing was wrong with it! All dishes were bursting with delicious flavours, and all I hear is, wow taste this taste that! They also serve alcohol, this was just one down side of the place for me, but didn't stop me from going there! Definitely recommend 👌

    Still exquisite and resplendent as has always been. Nice office spaces. Calm environment. Lots of legacy brand stores and unique shops in the bustling Headrow Leeds City Centre area.

  • 5/5 Trisha S. 4 months ago on Google
    It's nice in this shopping centre many times I've sat in there quiet see people do there own thing and alot people in the cafes eating and drinking and chilling out with friends really nice to see the nature of people getting on with life. Enjoying what there do makes me smile and have conversations with people who sit on the same bench as me enjoy the calmness what I like. Life is a relaxers.

    The Light offers the ultimate leisure experience in the heart of Leeds City Centre. Its location in the well established Northern Quarter, close to Millennium Square, allows it to be accessed by visitors from all parts of the city in particular the financial and business community.

  • 4/5 Joseph W. 5 months ago on Google
    Really open area, spacious and bright... Really odd to rate a building that houses businesses... It's always clean and the caretaking staff seem nice. Oh... Toilets are on the top floor and you have to pay, that sucks

  • 5/5 Matthew John B. 2 years ago on Google
    What a place. Very impressive seats and price. London eat the heart out. I was able to kick bk and relax watching the film in comfort.

  • 5/5 Rosalyn S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a fantastic experience. Love going. Lots of interesting shops. Great design of a building. Beautifully lit for Christmas. A mist enjoyable day. Went to Escape Hunt and thoroughly enjoyed it. I did not want to go either.... it was a works do. I would go it again.

    This is St Anne's Cathedral in leeds a beautiful Catholic cathedral big on the outside and on the inside

  • 4/5 Rashad J. 2 years ago on Google
    The light is perfect for all your dining out needs! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert...you get it all here!

  • 4/5 Nana Yaa A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great smells and awesome place to meetup with friends because it's right at the city center. There are restaurants with seating outside and inside so you can choose.

  • 4/5 Kwadwo A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place as it has the cinema on top and lots of nice things to do in there with the staff all being quite nice

  • 5/5 Sam A. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely night out at cinema, restaurant and fluer cafe all under one roof.

  • 5/5 Christiana A. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent sized center with vue (over 10 screens) and lots of restaurants ranging from affordable to more expensive.

  • 1/5 A T. 2 years ago on Google
    An instant 1 star for permitting some sort of ice cream shop called Haute Dolci to inflict painfully harsh and, to some, debilitating brilliant bluey-white LED strip lights onto those in communal areas outside the shop and even affecting those on Zizzi's opposite (who have their own 'naked LED lighting issue, albeit more bearable than the offensive and damaging glare from Haute Do-dahs.

  • 5/5 Naj K. 2 years ago on Google
    Vue cinema In the hart of Leeds City Centre. Excellent venue to watch movies on the big screen. Great reclining seats and very clean. A host of hot and cold treats available. The Light has several bars and restaurants within the complex with ample car parking. Please take extra care when driving in Leeds as it has several loop roads and bus lanes to this venue.

  • 5/5 K. P. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a lovely building to visit with my friends, being accessible from multiple entrances and covered by a glorious glass roof! It is highly navigable, featuring escalators and lifts to move between different floors and the bridge across one of the upper ones is a fantastic addition. The building was kept clean and well-staffed, manned by friendly people. A wide variety of fun things to do are here, such as Junkyard Golf and The Vue!

  • 5/5 Melissa B. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite place in Leeds many places to go like cafe, restaurants. Shopping

  • 5/5 Alan S. 2 years ago on Google
    We booked in to the ' Turtle Bay ' restaurant for food whilst booked into a nearby hotel for the weekend. Absolutely brilliant, the food was excellent but most of all...the staff were very friendly and helpful and the big was even better. I had starter of baby back ribs and main of jerk sirloin which come to £26. Really nicely spiced in their authentic caribbean spices, we will definitely be going again, just maybe in a restaurant closer to home(there seems to plenty around the country if you search for it on Google)

  • 3/5 Terry M. 1 year ago on Google
    What this centre lacks in charm is on a par with its lack of character. Dark and maudling, its only real appeal lies in the fact that there is a Royal Mail Post Office and free public toilets. Somewhere to shelter on a rainy day.

  • 5/5 Gareth T. 2 years ago on Google
    A lovely arcade. Well presented, clean and elegant with some lovely restaurants. Estabulo is a must try experience. The multi storey car park is extremely convenient for the arcade and for Leeds city centre shopping.

  • 5/5 Marcia Livinia H. 2 years ago on Google
    It is a old and beautiful building with a baroque structure and which houses many brand stores, including Louis Button.

  • 4/5 Mike N. 1 year ago on Google
    Only popped in to get something to eat and found something so we're happy. Looks a decent place with some good looking establishments. Next time I'm in Leeds I'll visit again and check it out properly.

  • 3/5 Michaela W. 1 year ago on Google
    Good choice of restaurants but the atmosphere let it down. Lots of noisy drunks coming put of the golf place. Smoking outside the golf place, bouncer didn't seem to care. Could be fabulous, but missed the mark. Nicer places in Leeds to eat.

  • 5/5 Kate H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for meeting up with friends. There are plenty of food options, drinking establishment's, an escape room, a cinema and mini golf!

  • 5/5 XXX I. 1 year ago on Google
    I had to go to a Diabetic eye screening but is very pleasant very clean and bright not dull like other shopping centers staff are friendly and helpful

  • 5/5 Jose Mejia A. 1 year ago on Google
    Small shopping centre with nice atmosphere. It has a vue cinema, and different types of cuisine. All in town.

  • 4/5 mohamed a. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty meal boneless thighs. The place was busy, you have to wait for 15 mins before getting a place. The chicken thighs served cold

  • 4/5 Loreto A. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a brilliant place for all ages. Great shops. My only concern is the baby changing facility - the baby changing table requires maintenance so the strap is in good condition as it is currently broken.

  • 5/5 angela g. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of shops and restaurants and bars to choose from.. Parking is reasonably priced. Machines are being changed so be aware your card may not work

  • 5/5 Kim 1 year ago on Google
    The car park and cinema are quite expensive. The seats are very comfortable in the cinema. Nice to go for a treat or special occasion
