I've been to Bibis a few times and loved each one of them! Food was delicious great atmosphere which was made even better when the lights went down. Would definately go again and recommend to friends and family.

Oh dear! I almost feel as if I have been mugged after visiting this restaurant; overpriced and not very nice food, and a noise level that has to be heard to be believed, intimate this place is not! I could not have a conversation with the person next to me let alone anyone else on the table. For the price I was expecting great food and it was below average, I expected great ambience, not old videos of Rod Stewart everywhere I looked (I mean why for goodness sake?).Overall I would say that this place is a factory for processing hen parties and teenage first dates, if this is what you want then go for it.

Its a shame that BiBi's receives such a Bad name now after spending years Building its title which is still a Legend in the Leeds eaterie circuit. My opinion from reading all these comments is that it is true pallets who are making them & not your group of Hen Party's who are too busy drinking rather than tasting the food they have on their forks. I feel that if the old Manager Pino was still there, things may be better. Sadly the current Manager Angelo is a good Old School friend of the owner Oliver so cannot see him going anywhere no matter how bad his Arrogance is. Another point is, they turned down an oppertunity of Employing a Chef who is a good friend of Giorgio Loccatelli (probably the best Italian Chef in the UK) who also worked alongside Giorgio not only in Italy, but London as well. Shame as he will probably go onto bigger and better opportunities. Who's decision this was I dont know, but that Arrogance Trail hanging over this Brand is also turning people against them.

i attended bibis in february for my sisters 16th birthday and i can safely say it was the worse meal i have ever eaten. we arrived and were seated straight away as we had booked in advance. The night quickly turned downhill. I felt the waiters were completely uninterested in us and were much more attentive to customers that know the management and dine there often. In my party there were 6 guests and there was long wait for the starters and then the main course. The drinks order was constantly confused throughout the night even though we were ordering the same drinks.Me my partner and my father all ordered the rib eye steak. When my main eventually arrived I asked for it well done it came rare as did my partners who asked for it medium to well done. It was snatched away and brought back exactly the same. I then began to attempt to eat it and it was the worst cut of meat I have ever eaten. I complained to the waiter who did not care but eventually brought the manager he promptly told me I should have ordered a more expensive steak if i wanted better quality. The rib eye was �15 and there was no sirloin or fillet on the menu. He then told me to order sirloin next time which did not exist. He shouted this at me in front of other diners and I found him very patronising! I will not return to this overpriced restaurant which has been living on its reputation for too long.
