Tavassoli's Cafe has long been a favourite in Leeds, but now it looks like they're set to get even busier after announcing they've put pornstar and espresso martinis on tap.
A long-standing Leeds favourite, the Greek cafe is popular with those in the know for its tasty gyros and chip dishes - which can also be enjoyed as part of its incredibly in-demand bottomless brunch offer.
Praised by many as being "great value for money," the bottomless offer includes 90 minutes of unlimited cocktails, beer or prosecco plus one of their famous gyros and chips of your choice for just £30.

Currently, these new on-draught cocktails aren't part of the bottomless offer - but Tavassoli's certainly seem to be considering it.
Announcing the new additions to their bar on Instagram, they asked their followers if they would be interested in seeing pornstar and espresso martinis to the bottomless deal too.
Explaining that they were thinking to update their bottomless offering, the restaurant said:
"*** PORNSTAR ON DRAFT ***
"So we have a new toy! PORNSTAR MARTINI & ESPRESSO MARTINI on draft!
"We were thinking to put this on the bottomless brunch 👀 but obviously it'll slightly higher price per person.

"Would you be comfortable to pay £35 per person for the Bottomless Brunch with these cocktails as extras on the menu?
"We also thought to charge only £2 per glass each time for those on bottomless brunch instead?
"Comment below to let us know!"
Comments so far have been mixed, with many saying they thought it was a great idea and they'd be really keen to see the on-tap cocktails added to the menu.
However, it's never that simple - with one person objecting outright and a few others had some opinions, with some voting down the bar's suggestions of paying £2 extra per cocktail whilst giving the thumbs up to increasing the overall price to £35.
User alexx_dickinson really wasn't keen, saying: "Please don’t do this, your normal cocktails are perfect.
"These on tap ones can be bought anywhere and at loads of local pubs for cheap, people come to yous for the handmade gorgeous cocktails instead!"
It remains yet to be seen if the bar will add the drinks onto the bottomless - but if you have strong feelings, we highly recommend you hop on over to their Instagram and weigh in before a final decision is made.

Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
Leeds foodies rejoice as much loved restaurant brings back their ‘legendary Pie Nights’
Clementine Hall
The Swine Bistro is bringing back one of its most-loved and hotly anticipated events; its legendary Pie Nights.
Is there anything more comforting in winter than a proper hearty pie? No, we don't think so either.
And there's no better place to go for one than the beloved Swine Bistro.
Since reopening and relocating to Otley Road, the Swine Bistro has been named amongst the Good Food Guide and SquareMeal’s Top 100 Best Local Restaurants, and it's not hard to see why.
The Swine Bistro excels in bold British flavours, slow-cooked comfort and generous, joy-filled cooking - and this is exactly what Pie Nights showcase.

This season’s Pie Night menu includes a mix of rich, meat-led classics and inventive vegetable-led pies, all made in-house and served with the Swine Bistro’s signature warmth and homely hosting.
The pie line-up includes Beef Cheek & Ox Tail, Chicken, Leek & Tarragon, Artichoke, Ricotta, Portobello & Walnut and Fennel, Hispi Cabbage, Butter Bean & Old Winchester.
Or if you're coming as a group and you can all agree on the filling (hard, we know), there is the show-stopping Suet-Topped Venison, Red Wine & Bone Marrow Pie, which is good enough for the table of Henry VIII.
Jo Myers, cofounder of the Swine Bistro, said; “Our love of making and serving the finest pies are a huge part of our story. They’re about taking the time to cook things properly, slow braises, good pastry, big, bold flavours for people to enjoy together. It’s comfort food, Swine-style.”
Pie Nights at The Swine Bistro will run on selected dates, initially kicking off on Wednesday 11 February, with further dates to be added, and are priced from £24 per person.
