Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This spot is a classical Arab food place, ambient lighting and all the polite staff made it feel very welcoming. The rice was delicious due to it being served on a hot platter, and the complimentary soup hit the spot. Halloumi was enjoyable & the...lemon/mint is one to recommend.More

We visited Bab Tooma in York for my birthday. The first time we have eaten Syrian food. A lovely warm welcome, very polite staff. The food was delicious, so tasty and plentiful. A soup was complimentary and it was delicious, warming. As all middle Eastern...food, fragrant and so tasty. We really enjoyed our visit and would not hesitate to book again and also recommend. Thankyou for a lovely birthday meal.More

Bab Tooma hosted a buffet party for over 60 people last night. It was fantastic! Veggies, vegans & coeliac catered for alongside the meat eaters. The food was simply delicious and we were given doggie bags for the leftovers. The staff were pleasant, patiet and...worked hard to make sure the evening went smoothly. Definitely a place to return to.More

Went with colleagues from Leeds. We all loved the food and the staff was really nice. We ate a lot and price was reasonable. Food was very fresh and the place was very comfortable.

Delivery never arrived after 1 hour of waiting and were not informed. Very poor. Not good enough. Babtooma - my contract is with you so it is up to you to deliver. You must improve this if you are ever to get further orders.

Decided to go tonight as been on our list to visit for a while. Nice interior, like the decor, friendly serving people but the food is very average if I'm honest. Had three starters, OK but very dry, tasteless and seemed old/warmed up. The drinks...were nothing special (strawberry mohito and lemon with rose) but again nothing special and tasted like out of a carton. Basic. Main meals, one was minced lamb in an aubergine with a portion of rice, ordinary and not worth the price in my opinion and the other, some chicken gyros pieces mixed with rice on top of yoghurt or something. The chicken was really dry and tough and again seemed 'old'. It wasn't ultra 'terrible' but with so much choice these days we wouldn't go back, we needed to be more impressed than we were. Definitely not 'amazing' and 'fantastic' like some of the reviews. Depends what you're used to I suppose.More

Came here for a birthday meal and it was brilliant. Positives: -food was beautiful -drinks were yummy -staff really friendly. Even when they were run off their feet they were polite. -good value for money £115 for mixed dip starter, x6 meze main dishes, x4...fresh fruit smoothies and a pot of tea. -decor was really lovely -went above and beyond-we bought our own cake and they played happy birthday as well as putting their own candles in! Extra comments -mains took a while to come out HOWEVER feel that is more our fault as we ordered the starters/dips ate them and then ordered the mains after -there was a fan, so was a little cold HOWEVER we again should have asked to turn it off. Will be returning!!!More
