Falafel Guys has joined forces with SALT Brewery to create SALT Craft + Falafel, the brand-new bar at Granary Wharf that's well worth visiting.
You only need to take a few steps around Leeds city centre to discover why Falafel Guys is one of Leeds' favourite places to eat.
Whether you're making a lunchtime pitstop at their striking red van on Briggate, bunkering down for the evening at Assembly Underground, or like us, you've wandered over to the newly opened SALT Craft + Falafel at Granary Wharf, you're never far from a Falafel Guys.
Located in the former Craft Asylum bar, adjacent to the Leeds-Liverpool canal, SALT Craft + Falafel is providing a winning combination of craft beers and Middle Eastern cuisine in a picturesque location.

It's not difficult to figure out why this is going to be a popular spot day and night. By day, the light from the canalside pours into the circular building, with corners intimately lit with neon signage to create a cosy ambience.
The benches are large and comfy, perfect for a day of working remotely and the music, a combination of indie and popular hits offers a beat to tap away at your laptop in peace.
By night, the bar is the ideal place to unwind with a post-work tipple. There's a whole range of craft beers available to taste, as well as some incredible cocktails on tap. 2 for £12 all day, every day on all your favourite concoctions, as well as quality craft beers on offer and a super speedy service.

Think Aperol Spritz, Espresso Martinis and Strawberry Cosmos, amongst other draught options- and we can confirm they taste as good, if not better, than the hand-crafted versions.
Situated to the left of the bar is a nook for all things Falafel Guys where the chefs are serving up chunky grilled halloumi, beautifully flavoured (and presented) pots of hummus, falafels and chicken shawarma.
There's two options to choose from: a wrap or a salad bowl, then guests are invited to select their combination of fillings, including three different types of hummus: original, charcoal and beetroot.
To accompany these delectable mains, expect some of the chicken wings drenched in sticky sauce, halloumi fries, deep fried to a tee, and if you can't get enough of their hummus options, you can grab it by the bowlful as an extra side dish.

There's a whole host of incredible reviews raving about the food from the Falafel Guys kitchens and their SALT Craft + Falafel is just the latest to add to this.
Co-Founder of Falafel Guys, Ahmed Ramzy believes that: "What differs us (Falafel Guys) from other places is that we use top quality freshest ingredients and everything on the menu is halal."
"We’ve been doing our research into locations where there is a gap in the market for tasty fresh falafels. Middle Eastern food is extremely popular ".
A popular bar and nightlife spot on Call Lane has closed its doors for good this weekend.
Revolución de Cuba - or Revs de Cuba, to most of us - announced the imminent closure of its Leeds bar last week, and went out with a 'final fiesta' on Saturday.
The venue opened on Call Lane, right in the heart of Leeds' nightlife heartland, back in 2015, and remained open after the collapse of Revolution's parent company back in January 2026.
The group's other venue in the city, Revolution at the Electric Press, did close immediately in January.
Revs de Cuba was famed for its Latin-inspired food and cocktails, and its late-night parties that tried to recreate the party atmosphere of Cuba.
The two-storey venue also had live music throughout the week, plus dancers and entertainment at the weekends.
Posting a statement to followers, Revs de Cuba wrote: "We have loved shaking your cocktails and creating unmissable parties and events over the years, but as of today, 15th August 2026, we will sadly be closing our doors in Leeds.
"We want to extend an enormous thank you for joining the Revolucion party and making some unforgettable memories.
"Any guests with bookings will be contacted in due course - Thank you for your patience and understanding. Goodbye and Gracias."
Commenting on their farewell post, one person wrote: "Noooooo! I had the best nights ever at Revs. I have the best memories. This cannot be trueeee."
Another said: "Thanks for so many years of Live Music and Joy."
And someone else posted: "what a place, end of an era."
The existing Revs de Cuba site in Leeds is under the steer of the NEOS Hospitality, who have revealed grand plans for its future...
Leeds United’s Anton Stach has launched his very own burger at a local indie – and it’s all for a good cause
Clementine Hall
If it's good enough for Anton Stach, then it's good enough for us.
Well, it really is the signing that nobody saw coming...and it’s happening right opposite the station.
Meat:Stack, the Newcastle-born, award-winning burger joint on Bishopgate Street in Leeds, is giving the people what they want - a burger with Anton Stach’s name on it.
Introducing ‘The Moustachi Burger', officially launching Tuesday 18 August where Anton Stach himself will be down at Meat:Stack to meet United fans, sign autographs and, of course, tuck into his very own creation.

Even better, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Elhadj Diouf Foundation (EDF), a charity chosen by Stach that supports children through education.
Not only that, but it's a great opportunity to support Meat:Stack that has been suffering from the ongoing road works for months on end now.
So really, you've got no excuse to come down and tuck into the special which will be available through the opening weeks of the season.
Anton Stach, Leeds United and Germany midfielder, added: “Leeds has felt like home from very early on, and a lot of that is the people and the places around the ground, the businesses fans go to before and after a game. Meat:Stack is one of them, and they’ve had a hard time with the building work on their doorstep. The Moustachi Burger is a lovely nod to my YouTube channel too.
"This is a team on the rise in a city on the comeback, and support has to go both ways. I wanted to back a business Leeds fans care about and raising money for a foundation my family has given so much to at the same time means everything. I’ll be there on the 18th, bring your appetite.”
