Leeds-based restaurant reveals plans for kebab-themed accommodation, including naan bread beds

Daisy Jackson - 8th July 2022

One of Leeds' best-loved kebab houses has revealed plans to open an actual Kebab House.

The proposed accommodation offering would mean guests could stay overnight in a house fully inspired by everyone's favourite dirty takeaway.

The Kebab House is set to include a naan bread bed, lettuce shower caps, and chilli and garlic sauce lampshades.

The curtains will look like doner meat and they're calling the bathroom the 'ke-bath'.

I Am Doner is hoping to take the pop-up accommodation on the road, touring across Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool and London.

It's also looking into locations at all of the above cities and hopes to open later this year.

The Kebab House plans have landed to coincide with National Kebab Day.

Inside the accommodation, there'll be everything from doner-inspired wallpaper in the bedroom, to kebab neon art, to kebab-shaped pillows.

I Am Doner will install a condiment cabinet, with 50 condiments inside including the restaurant's signature 20 sauces.

Lynsey Benton, I am Doner’s brand manager, said: "We’re absolutely obsessed with kebabs and so are our customers. Whether it’s using over 100 high quality ingredients in our kebabs, or making our in-house sauces.

"That’s why we’re offering our loyal customers the opportunity to take their obsession to the next level by creating a new pilgrimage to kebabs in the UK!"

I Am Doner has revealed the plans to coincide with National Kebab Day.

Guests who want to be amongst the first to stay at The Kebab House can sign up via I am Doner’s website.

Lucky bookers will be contacted later this year to book in their stay for up to four people.

First look inside Bruncho Leeds, the viral brunch spot serving Yorkshire puddings for breakfast

Bruncho is now open in Leeds

One of Manchester’s most popular brunch spots, which always has queues down the street, has made its way across to Leeds at last.

Bruncho has opened on The Headrow this week, bringing its hit products like French toasts, Middle Eastern brunches, and iced matchas, to Leeds city centre.

Bruncho has also made a name for itself with its viral creations, including Labubu Dubai pistachio French toast (how many 2025 buzzwords can you get in one menu item?) and its collection of drinks served at -86°C.

We're sure that their weird and wonderful creations will go down just as well here in Leeds.

Bruncho has taken over the old Foley’s site, letting the unit’s huge arched windows and beautiful dark wooden floors do the talking.

The team have added in plenty of plants, seagrass lampshades, and colourful pieces of art to liven the place up.

But it’s really the menu where the colour kicks in with gusto - starting with the raspberry blue matcha made with 100% pure blue spirulina powder.

There’s also the pistachio and Kinder French toast, topped with loads of pistachios, fresh berries, and an upside-down ice cream cone.

If you prefer a savoury brunch, their New York-style breakfast rolls served in a croissant bun are worth your attention.

And new for Leeds is Bruncho’s new Turkish eggs offering, served inside a giant Yorkshire pudding. Obviously.

As for the counter, you’ll find all manner of creative pastries and bakes, like a Malteser cube pastry and Black Forest cruffin.

Bruncho Leeds is open now at 159 The Headrow.

A new Turkish-inspired street food spot serving homemade shawarma is coming to Leeds city centre

Clementine Hall

Authentic Turkish street food is coming to Kirkgate.

Leeds city centre is gearing up to welcome yet another new food spot, and this one is all about homemade lahmacun, shawarma wraps and plenty of signature tahini sauce.

Tahin will open its doors at 10 Kirkgate, next to The Cat Cafe, and with signs already up we don't think it'll be long until they welcome their first customers.

The restaurant is listed as a Turkish restaurant that specialise in their homemade tahini sauce, hence the name.

According to the restaurant's Instagram profile which has been going for a few years, Tahin also specialises in home-made lahmacun wraps alongside shawarma wraps.

For anyone unfamiliar with lahmacun, the Turkish staple is often described as a thin, crispy flatbread topped with a richly seasoned mixture of minced meat, herbs and vegetables.

Wrapped up with fresh salad and sauces, it makes for a satisfying and flavourful lunch to enjoy on-the-go.

Their Instagram suggests that Tahin once existed before back in 2022, so although this may not be a completely new venture, we're nevertheless very glad to see them back.

Its location puts it right in the middle of one of Leeds' busiest areas, making it the perfect mid-shopping pit stop for those wandering around Briggate or stopping for a bite to eat before heading out on the town.

The new opening comes at a time when Leeds' food scene is continuing to expand, with a string of independent restaurants and street-food concepts opening across the city centre throughout 2026.
