Description

Leon, a popular choice for travelers at Stansted Airport, delivers a buffet of experiences that range from disappointing to delightful. On one hand, reports of late openings, unprofessional staff, and unsatisfactory food quality mar the reputation of this location. Diners have encountered cold dishes and poorly prepared items, notably raw chicken and chewy sourdough. However, the coffee received praise, and some staff members, like Kathryn, have made efforts to provide excellent service. While some recommend steering clear of meals, others find quick snacks here worthwhile, given the limited airport options. Tread carefully when choosing your meal!.

I just put the order on the POS and ai go to find the table. Less than 1 minutes I find and my order was ready. I think the food was prepared for long time , think you eat fresh food I can’t eat

I thought it was reasonably priced £6.99 for rice box) for airport food but the taste wasn't great. The rice was too crunchy and the chicken was quite bland when I expected it to be spicy. A bit too much ailoli to my liking, but pomegranate seeds saved the dish. Doubt I'll return. Order was placed using a screen and service was fairly slow. Free water available to refill bottles.

Travelers coming from Stansted airport should avoid purchasing food from this restaurant. I ordered 3 large fries, 2 portions of nuggets, and a chicken burger, but unfortunately all of it ended up in the trash. It cost £31, and the staff consisted of three young girls who appeared to be under 18. My partner bit into their burger and discovered it was raw, pink, and filled with gray veins. My daughter's nuggets were also cold and uncooked. When we brought these issues to the attention of the staff, they did nothing and did not even offer a bottle of water. Therefore, I advise against purchasing food from this establishment if you are traveling.

Excellent food had a marvellous chicken satay rice box. Really yummy and gluten-free. Mmm mmm coffee was a bit weak but then I choose Americano!

The fact that the staff member who made the Jerk Chicken wrap had no gloves on to make the wraps ordered is disgusting. He was touching his mobile phone, an iPad, the fridge door and the contents of the fridge. When challenged he stated “wearing gloves is a waste of time” . Totally unacceptable behaviour.
