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. read more
