'It's ticked every single box, it's a sold ten from me without a shadow of a doubt'.
Pittafan is a new Greek takeaway in Oakwood that's attracted a fair bit of attention recently - and internet sensation Danny Malin is now the latest to find out what the hype is about.
Rate My Takeaway YouTuber Danny Malin paid the Greek takeout and shared that he was seriously impressed by the results in last week's video.
The Head Chef here has worked for over eighteen years around the Greek Islands and on the mainland to gather ideas and flavours - resulting in a truly authentic menu for us here in Leeds.

The Mixed Grill tempted Danny Malin as it combines the best of the meats onto one plate. Expect a generous serving of pork gyros, chicken souvlaki, lamb kebab and chops as well as pitta bread, chips, tzatziki and mixed salad.
Costing £15.95, the YouTuber alluded that the dish was great value for money, describing the dish as 'full of flavour with a nice bit of seasoning'.
Taste testing the menu, with 'bits of marinated chicken and peppers, cooked to perfection with a little crunch for the charred bits', the takeaway received a perfect score of ten from Danny Malin, with lots of snippets throughout the eighteen minute video explaining 'It's ticked every single box, it's a sold ten from me without a shadow of a doubt' and that he could 'have this every day of the week'.

Elsewhere on the menu you'll find a huge selection of gyros, 'monster' wraps, burgers and Greek pastries, including a chocolate mousse which also received the YouTuber's seal of approval.
Pittafan is open every day of the week from 12 - 11pm on Roundhay Road, Oakwood and available on Deliveroo for those looking to taste test the mixed grill from the comfort of their own homes.

Luxury Leeds steakhouse to undergo huge £1.2 million renovation
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
