Halloumi, falafels, shish and, of course, the famous doner kebab are all available from Sqew.
BrewDog on North Street have hosted them, the city of Leeds loves them and now they've got a permanent home on Duncan Street.
Sqew is the latest contentor in the Leeds kebab game and are ready to fight for the crown.
Opened this Saturday 30 October, the takeaway shop will be serving pita, shawarma, salad and plenty of falafels.
The new venture comes from an original founder from Red’s True Barbecue. If you've ever tasted their irresistible burgers, you'll have high expectations for this new opening and it seems they will be more than met.
One of their speciality dishes will be the fanciest doner kebab you'll see in the city centre. The 'upmarket doner' will be accompanied by plenty of kebab shop staples like shish and shawarma along with vegetarian options.
Think halloumi fries drizzled in homemade sauce, tasty salad bowls piled high with falafel and hummus, as well as loads of new dishes that are designed to be a feast for the eyes and palate.
Sqew have hinted at a few of their dishes on their Facebook page but haven't released all of their options just yet.

One of their teaser dishes revealed is the Chicken Shawarma Khobez Wrap: a toasted pitta with grilled chicken, pickles, toum and topped with some hot chili sauce. The portions look plenty and are sure to be a delight.
Whether it's on your way home from a boozy trip around town or as a stop on your lunch break, Sqew will certainly be worth a stop at.
Three large gyros have already been installed on Duncan Street in advance of the opening, but the rest of the menu and decor will be revealed on their debut this Saturday.
The company are still recruiting for staff. Those interested should visit the Sqew website for more information.
"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
Luxury Leeds steakhouse to undergo huge £1.2 million renovation
Clementine Hall
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.”
