Just had best breakfast in a long time whilst visiting Bradford for UK City of Culture. Lela's serve a range of middle Eastern, european and UK breakfasts. We had their special breakfast with a middle Eastern theme. It was outstanding!

Delicious and fresh food, perfect for vegetarians. The staff is extremely friendly and the service is fast with hot meals. Highly recommended! I will definitely come back for more.

I tried twice the food from the cafe. First time, I had a chicken bowl that was delicious. I don't know if it comes with fries or not , I did not receive the fries, but the food was really nice and it was enough. The second time, I had the Arabic shawarma, and as I connoisseur of the Arabic cuisine I have to say I am not impressed. The Arabic shawarma has a particular taste within the other types of shawarma, smooth and juicy, served with garlic sauce and pickles. Cooked properly, the Arabic shawarma can be a main dish. They really have to step up their game if they want to last in Bradford, and I would like them to succeed because it is a nice cafe in the city centre among all the fast food places. The staff is welcoming, but I might suggest to be a little bit more focused on their job.

One of the best places in bradford for middle eastern food when you are after a quick bite. Everything is freshly made whilst you wait. The fresh drinks are refreshing. Its not very big inside but has some seating outside aswell, gas a very cosy atmosphere. The staff do look after you. The special breakfast is probably my favourite. Prices are very reasonable. Will definitely be visiting again whenever in town

Came to Lela’s cafe for lunch. The service was great and the food was very nice! This place is exactly what Bradford needed, a little cafe in the heart of Bradford with lots of variety of food, everything perfectly fresh and quick service! All the food is a very reasonable priced too, we were very surprised. Will definitely be coming back! Quite small seating arrangement inside but for a cafe, outside seating is available too, this is truly a gem!
