14 Leeds takeaways that have been tried and tasted on Rate My Takeaway in 2022

It’s been one heck of a year for the Leeds foodie scene.

We’ve had dozens of new openings covering all sorts of cuisines, filling our takeaway apps with a combination of old favourites and new places to visit alike.

One man that knows his takeaways, and has captured the nation’s attention in doing so, is Danny Malin. The ‘Rate My Takeaway’ YouTuber boasts over half a million subscribers, and regularly goes viral after showcasing the best takeaway spots in the north and beyond.

Turns out 2022 has been the year that we’ve seen the internet sensation in Leeds quite a bit, so we’ve combined a list of all the places we’ve spotted the YouTuber in 2022 to help narrow down our next takeaway choice.

Hooyah Burgers

The build-your-own-burger joint has been praised since opening for its huge portions and flavoursome burgers, and now that the brains behind the burgers have got a city centre restaurant open on Albion Place, it’s becoming more popular than ever. And that was all before the joint received over 150,000 views on a single YouTube video.

Danny says: “We started off with beautiful buttermilk, nice bit of chicken absolutely spot on…on then I moved onto the loaded fries…it’s a flavour combination that works really well to be honest. A solid 10, can’t fault it”.

Hidden inside Roland’s, Don’t Feed The Dog is serving up sarnies, hoagies and the most incredible chips, perfect for a lazy afternoon after mooching around the city.

Starting with the oyster mushroom wings, Danny said: “They are amazing. I’m totally honest with you it’s not something I would order but wow. There’s a strong hint of chillis with spices a nice crisp batter on it… wow”.

The camel kebab was launched by I Am Döner to celebrate the company’s expansion into the UAE, and saw national media coverage of the unusual flavours, so naturally Danny was one of the first to head over and tuck into the dish.

The Rate My Takeaway two pence was “Oh with rice that is nice. It’s not what I expected it to be”.

Luigi’s Street Food is known and loved in Trinity Kitchen for its deep fried pizzas, arancini balls and a host of tasty treats. Packed out on a lunchtime, you’ll find plenty of gooey cheesy delights.

Danny gave his two pence on the deep fried pizzas: “it’s one of those weird and wonderful things that you’ve never had before but when you do it’s like oh my god”.

The cult-following from the beef patties at Meat Stack had Leeds excited for months about the expansion of the indie burger joint. Danny checked out the original Newcastle branch but now Leeds has its own place to grab these drool-worthy burgers, it’s only right that we give it a mention.

Danny says: “Ooh that is a nice flavour, beautiful beef patties there, they’ve got a really strong flavour to them… my god that is nice!”

Deneco’s was first up, and described the brownie as as a “fat man’s dream”, tasting a mini pancake stack with Biscoff, marshmallow and strawberries done “just like you’d have at home, but more fluffy”.

Oh So Yum! offered peanut butter bubble waffle to the Rate My Takeaway star “cooked to perfection with a beautiful chocolate sauce on there too”, and a traditional crepe with fresh bananas, strawberries and chocolate, a favourite of his daughters.

Batch’d donuts were “beautiful” and “cooked to perfection”, getting the stamp of approval with the balance of chocolate and fluffy dough.
