Leeds is about to feel the heat this summer as Uyare announces the launch of a new cocktail and bar food menu.
It's all in celebration of spring and the restaurant's first birthday.
If you haven't ever visited Uyare's rooftop then let us tell you, it is a beautiful spot.
Set high above the city in Victoria Leeds, the super-stylish rooftop destination boasts jawdropping panoramic city views, heated outdoor seating and a stellar food and drink menu.
It's the perfect pre-dinner cocktail spot as well as a standalone bar experience with tables available to book exclusively for drinks.
And where's better than a rooftop bar during the summer season?
Guests can expect a brand-new small plates menu that are perfect for sharing, a curated selection of signature cocktails and a new bottomless brunch available every weekend.
The brunch includes tapas dishes with side and bottomless drinks from £40 and there’ll also be monthly jazz nights adding a sophisticated laid-back atmosphere.

The cocktail menu features 12 signature ‘flavour forward’ creations that take inspiration from Kerala’s rich culinary heritage. Alongside the signature cocktails, the menu also introduces four Kerala-centric drinks designed to take guests on a journey through the region.
Opened in June 2025, Uyare was born from the success of Tharavadu, one of Leeds’ best-loved restaurants.
After more than eleven years of welcoming celebrities, food lovers and discerning diners from across the globe, the team expanded the Tharavadu family to create Uyare, a premium rooftop dining destination bringing refined South Indian cuisine and elevated city views to the Leeds skyline.

Founder Siby Jose said; “Uyare is all about energy, and that’s exactly what we’re bringing to our rooftop bar this summer. While Leeds has a vibrant cocktail scene, many menus are built around classic recipes or rely heavily on syrups. Our new menu takes a different approach, focusing on real ingredients and culinary techniques to create bold, layered flavours.
“Our vision is to create a destination where you can book just for drinks or gather with friends and experience something special above the city. We are really excited about our new menu, which we think will satisfy and delight everyone’s tastes, whether you’re popping in for cocktails at golden hour or settling in for a full small-plates feast and soaking up the atmosphere!”
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
Inside the modern Japanese grill coming to Leeds from the team behind Fern Modern Sushi
Clementine Hall
We've been very excited about this one.
If you know anything about the Leeds food scene, then you'll know the absolute legend that is Chef Fern.
Her first restaurant, Fern Modern Sushi, is a firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike. Known for their expertly crafted sushi made with the freshest fish on offer.
And now, she's turning her attention to her second venture - Tori Nori.

Tori Nori is a modern Japanese grill and bar inspired by the bustling izakayas of Tokyo.
Everything is centred around the fiery robata grill where guests can watch the chefs cook everything from grilled fish to delicious yakitori skewers right in front of their very eyes.
All designed to share, this is a place to hang out with friends, enjoy some delicious food and maybe sink a few Japanese-inspired cocktails whilst you're at it.

Located on Vicar Lane, the space has had a whole refurb and it's looking fantastic. Complete with perfectly moody lighting, plush banquette seating and beautiful Japanese-inspired wallpaper.
The menu features an entire yakitori menu, from cheesy chicken thighs and pork belly to grilled king prawn and Japanese A5 wagyu all grilled over charcoal.
There's also Fern's signature sushi on the menu, as well as big plates to share such as teryaki half chickens and miso lamb chops.

You just know that everything Fern touches turns to gold but don't just take our word for it, get yourself to Tori Nori and try it out for yourselves.
Tori Nori will officially open its doors on Friday 10 April. Find out more and book your table here.
