Amalthea Greek Cafe, Deli & Bistro

Brilliant service, tasty food and good value for money. I will definitely visit again. We brought our own wine as the restaurant is not lisenced.

Simply a perfect place for a Greek dining experience. Lovely authentic food, great atmosphere, beach hut like setting and friendly, attentive and likeable staff make this a 10/10 every time for me. Will always return here.

We had a fab time and will definitely be back soon. Great food, lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. What more can you ask for!

Beautiful food, a lovely environment with Greek music playing in the background and very friendly and helpful staff. Wil definitely return to sample more of the delicious sounding menu.

Lovely little restaurant, extensive and authentic menu, gorgeous food and friendly staff! Love the looking around the deli too-great idea! We had a fab night!

Second visit, this time with extended family; even better than first time! Delicious food, atmosphere and really helpful and attentive staff; visit Greece in Adel!

I have never been disappointed in any of my more than 12 visits to Amalthea. I have always enjoyed the food, the service is friendly and the staff attentive, the ambience is great and reminiscent of a Greek island. I want to note especially the food - as, after all, this is a restaurant/bistro. The menu is exciting (a little too long perhaps, but that reflects the chef's desire to show his talents!) and changes regularly, or probably evolves through the year and the seasons. There's the Greek standards but also dishes that even I (a Greek) had not tried before. Gems from regional cooking traditions. All well executed and using the best local ingredients. The meat dishes are outstanding! Only "complaint" is the absence of a drinks licence. Choosing a good wine to go with your meal should be part of any culinary experience.

My wife has been to Amalthea several times before taking me on Father's Day. It's not licenced so we took our own wine and we're treated to a lovely meal. We couldn't manage s dessert so we took some baklava home which was also yummy! At £58 for 2 excluding wine it's fair value and we'll go again!

Beatiful food, and excellent customer service. We were very well looked after by all the friendly staff! Will definitely go again and recommend to others.

A really friendly restaurant serving authentic greek cuisine . Food was fresh and tasty and the owners and staff made you feel very welcome. You take your own alcohol and they are more than happy to open the bottles and supply the appropriate glasses. A lovely experience!

Truly amazing. Could not fault the food or service. A great find. Probably the best meal I have had in a long time. Great variety in the menu. We will definitely be back.

The environment and ambience is amazing. The staff are wonderful and so attentive as well as being very personable. There is oodles to chose from on the menu and we were told that everything is available! The little deli is beautiful too - I recommend any of the honey! Plus the oils - and the coffee! The only reason I didn't give 100% top rating is my dish was a bit too oily for me. Recommended: meat mezze

Lovely atmosphere and the staff were brilliant. Most meals devious however did not enjoy the feta and spinach pie. Only negative, everything else was great.

Food was excellent and the service was too. We will be going again. The food was authentic. The staff we're warm and friendly. I would recommend to anyone.

Great food, very attentive and helpful waitress, who was very well-informed of the food we were choosing . Also advised of the quantity we were ordering and that she felt we had ordered sufficient dishes . All made foe Avery pleasant first time experience .

We absolutely love this place - was the perfect spot for a birthday meal with my friends. On top of the delicious food (the meat Meze was amazing!) the girls made us feel so welcome and I already can't wait to go back! Lucy

Always a very friendly welcome here. Food is delicious. Try the aubergine dip with pitta bread as a starter. Can also recommend the moussaka, kleftico and beef stifado

Lovely atmosphere on a spring evening. Tasty Greek food reminiscent of holidays and very friendly staff. Would recommend and will be returning for sure. D

Poli orayo! Friendly welcome. Lovely food. Wonderful meat options. Nice atmosphere. Take ur own booze. Co op across street. Would recommend for all. Thank you. Tony

My wife and I had a very enjoyable meal. The food was excellent and was served by friendly and efficient staff. The starter of rare cheese and bread had interesting labels explaining what each cheese was and the bread was delicious. the main course, Kleftico was cooked to perfection. Being to take your own wine without paying corkage was a good perk.

Our return visit was just as enjoyable as our first + 2 friends there for the first time were equally impressed & will be back. The "service" can hardly be called service, as it is like friends coming to the table to ask what we'd like to eat. Just so friendly, and the food really excellent. In order to manage a delicious dessert, two starters instead of a starter & main work well, so able to enjoy the lemon cake. A lovely place, lovely people & we'll be back soon. Thank you.

Another lovely meal at Amalthea! The food and atmosphere are very special. We are so lucky to have this family run Greek restaurant in Adel.

Very friendly staff. The food was excellent. We ordered the meze which was delicious! The price was fairly reasonable taking into consideration that one needs to bring one's own alcohol. I would certainly recommend for a Greek cuisine experience!

Great restaurant, superb staff and very authentic food. Highly recommended and it will now become a regular port of call whenever I'm in the area.

I'm afraid that the extensive and tempting-sounding menu didn't live up to expectations. Whilst my lamb kleftiko was reasonably tasty, it was accompanied only by a salad garnish and rice. My husband's pork kotsi (shank) had identical accompaniments, and according to the menu had been 'roasted with Cretan orange-infused extra virgin olive oil'. I asked my husband whether he could taste the orange, to which her replied 'a little'. The evening had started well - entering a cosy, attractive bistro, with deli goods ranged behind our table. Also, my husband's starter of green beans in a tomato and herb sauce, with pitta bread and cheese was enjoyable. Unfortunately, the wait for this and all other courses was far too long - even making allowances for Greek service! Also, we had ordered some olives to nibble on whilst waiting for my husband's starter - these didn't come until his starter was delivered. The desserts too were disappointing, with my "black cherry cake: consisting of a small square of unexciting plain chocolate cake, with a few cherries, drizzled with a honey dressing. The coffees we ordered came a very long time before the desserts, meaning we had no coffee to drink by the time the desserts arrived.

Lovely food, friendly service I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. A great addition to Adel and the neighbourhood. Well done

Authentic Greek food, in lovely surroundings and wonderful staff - if you can't get to Greece, go here! NB if required, remember to take your own alcohol.

Absolutely wonderful. Food was great (highly recommend the rare cheese board and moussaka). And the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Delicious desserts too. Will be our new regular. Thank you!

Super friendly staff, lovely surroundings and great, freshly made food. We went for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - will definitely be returning. BYOB means you can have the exact bottle of wine (or beer!) you want to have with your meal.

Delicious food and a huge choice from the menu. Delightful surroundings too and friendly service. The dark cherry and chocolate cake drenched in syrup was divine.

We were a party of 3 visiting for the first time, fabulous food, very pleasant staff, ambience pleasant too! Overall enjoyable! Would recommend to other!

Food was exceptional and was served in approximately the right quantities. There is no alcohol licence which is great for you taking your own bottle. Prices slightly above average but they do reflect the quality of food.

Great meat and vegetarian meze and service. The meat one was my favourite, Good value too because you bring your own alcohol. We all ageeed we'd visit again.

great food and lovely atmosphere. lots of choice and staff are very helpful. not cheap but reasonably priced and the bring your own alcohol policy means you save money on drinks.

A small, very nicely decorated restaurant with lovely, helpful staff. Food was good in general, but the salads lacked imagination and seemed to use bagged ingredients. Overall though our evening was very enjoyable as the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and felt like a little bit of Greece on the outskirts of Leeds.

Absolutely love this place such a lovely atmosphere. The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly . Bonus that you bring your own alcohol!! Will definitely be returning

Lovely restaurant with wonderful food. Varied menu with traditional greek dishes bringing back memories of holidays spent in Greece. Staff very friendly and service great.

Lovely ambience and incredibly nice staff, so smiley and helpful and informative. The food was nice, but probably not really to my taste, the cheese starters were just cheese ans biscuits and my sea bream served on the bone which put me off a bit. Just served with salad too, I woulx have liked some potato or rice or bread (lovely staff brought Pitta when asked. £30 a head seemed more than I wanted to pay for a meal I didn't love, (£90 got us 3 starters, 3 mains and 2 desserts, no drinks). I'd say go and try it, you might love it.

Great restaurant - good food and friendly staff. At time of writing no alcohol license but we bought our own bottle (from nearby Coop!) and it all worked well. We will be back :-)

Eating at Amalthea bistro is a real pleasure. A warm welcome, friendly courteous staff, a varied menu and great food! My advice is book a table!!
