3 /5 Sam Aberman: Leon is a great chain restaurant that offers a unique concept of serving healthy and tasty fast food. They have found a great sweet spot in the market, offering a range of options from Moroccan vegan meatballs to their famous baked fries. The colourful and retro decor adds to the experience, and the quick service is a plus.
This particular branch is in a great location, filling a major gap for fast food services around the new Battersea Power Station shopping centre. The restaurant was bustling with activity on a Sunday lunchtime, and the automated ordering screens made it quick and easy to place our order. However, despite the excellent food and service, the restaurant was let down by its cleanliness. The tables and floors were filthy, and the toilet facilities were in a terrible state.
We brought this issue to the attention of the staff, but there seemed to be no urgency in addressing the problem. Its essential that the management take steps to ensure that the branch is properly managed, and that cleanliness is a top priority. If this had been the first Leon branch we visited, it would likely have been the last. Despite this issue, Leon remains a great choice for healthy and tasty fast food.
