A firm lunchtime favourite this week is bound to be the £5 kebabs from I Am Döner. Using 120 ingredients and homemade bread sauce, the popular takeaway recently made headlines with its camel-flavoured kebab celebrating the Leeds-born-store's move to Dubai, but will this week see all their staple favourites at a deliciously low price.
Honest Burgers has only been open for a few short weeks, but it's safe to say that the London-born burger joint has made a substantial impact on Leeds city centre during this time.
For this week only, you can grab the 'Leeds Special', a Honest beef burger piled high with, bacon, smoked cheddar, black garlic chipotle chutney, gluten-free beer pickled onions, lime mayo and lettuce, which pays homage to the city by using this as an opportunity to share a collaborative sauce project with local indie sauce maker, Thiccc Sauce. Served with a portion of rosemary fries for just a tenner, this is an offer to take full advantage of.
Cooked inside one of Leeds’ only Spanish-made Josper Charcoal oven, food here is roasted, grilled, steamed and smoked at 500 degrees to tenderise and produce that smokey charcoal texture synonymous with authentic Spanish cooking- and now you can take full advantage of this one-of-a-kind cooking style in Leeds for less.
On the menu, you'll find cassic dishes like Patatas Bravas and Calamares between signature meat dishes like the Albónigas con Tomate, beef and pork meatballs with a smokey chorizo and tomato stew. Add a drink for an extra £5 or just dig into small plates aplenty- the range of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options makes this the ideal meeting place for large groups of foodies this week.
Meat:Stack, the newly-opened cult indie burger joint, has dedicated three menus to Eat Leeds Restaurant Week. Bringing their signature West Coast beef burger and vegan slugger patty to the menu, grab a classic burger, fries and refillable soda for just £10.
For those looking for a little more, grab any double burger, a portion of tenders and dip, fries and any shake, pint or refillable soda for £15- or make it a triple burger and loaded fries for £20.
The Wardrobe is far more than an intimate music venue, and the restaurant-come-concert-space is showcasing the best of their food and drink options throughout Eat Leeds Restaurant Week. Grab two courses for £20 or add an extra course for a fiver with the three courses for £25 offer.
Expect juicy buttermilk chicken in taco form with ranch slaw and chipotle mayo; goat’s cheese bon bons with honey dressing; masala king prawns with mango chilli salad and vegan alternatives like the celeriac shawarma with hummus and flatbread- and that’s just the starter plates.
Aagrah Chapel Allerton- 2 courses and drink for £25

Aagrah has plenty of complimentary offerings hidden within its Eat Leeds Restaurant Week menu, so this is far more than a 2 course for £25 deal. Each person receives a complimentary drink of house wine, lager or gin, as well as a papadum and pickle tray upon ordering and sundries to finish.
If that's not enough, you can order pretty much anything from the menu and still use the offer. Choose from any starter and main course apart from the king prawn options and make the most of eating out for less at the award-winning Indian restaurant.

Beloved Leeds bistro ‘over the moon’ after being named one of the best restaurants in the UK
Clementine Hall
It's just another accolade for Bavette as the neighbourhood bistro is crowned one of the best in the UK.
And they're just as excited as we are.
Voted for by the industry's best, the National Restaurant Awards include a list of the country's top 100 restaurants every single year.
Although the official awards ceremony and numbered list will take place in June, last week the restaurants that will be included received an adorable box of confetti through the post.
And one of our very own, unsurprisingly, received just that.
Ever since opening back in 2024, Bavette Bistro nestled in the leafy suburb of Horsforth has made waves across the country for its sheer brilliance.
It's pretty much received five star reviews across the board and been handed awards from left, right and centre. And rightly so.
The Good Food Guide crowned Bavette the best local restaurant of 2024, and Michelin handed them a well deserved Bib Gourmand - so it's safe to say it's not just us who think it's really something special.
And now, they've earned themselves a coveted spot in the top 100 restaurants in the UK.

Here's what Bavette had to say after discovering the news: "Over the moon to get the news we’ve made it into @nationalrestaurantawards top 100 for this year.
"A list we’ve long since hugely admired and such a massive honour to make it this year. Voted for by industry grandees, the full list will be announced at their awards ceremony in June which we’ll be there for. Allez."
Congratulations Sandy, Clement and the wonderful team - this is absolutely so well deserved and we'll be cheering you on in June from the sidelines.
