Fine food and unlimited booze- served every day of the week.
Tucked away on the corner of Merrion Street, Oba Leeds is serving some of the best Korean and Japanese fusion dishes, with a range of vegan-friendly meals available.
This hidden gem offers a warm welcome from the the moment you walk through the glass doors. The bright hues of sunflower yellow and bright blue mirror off the panelling and glass windows and match the service, always delivered with a smile, to a tee, since opening last autumn.

Now firmly settled into the Merrion Centre, Oba has decided to bring a bottomless brunch experience to the table: with two courses and three drinks on offer.
Available from midday until 4pm each day, grab a bite over a full two hour sitting.
For starters, expect a delectable choice of beautifully presented dishes. There's Korean fried chicken, Karagge chicken wings, whitebair with chilli and cumin all served as small plater, or cucumber maki sushi rolls and kimchi spring rolls on offer for your first course.

The mains are packed with just as much flavour. We'd recommend the Chicken Katsu Curry: it's a classic crowdpleaser, but Oba's version of the dish is one of our favourites in Leeds.
There's also Ginger pork belly, tofu katsu teriyaki, assorted seafood with kimchi in spicy sauces and a Kinoko butter on offer: it's an assorted mushroom dish with vegan butter and sound utterly delicious.

Now none of these dishes would be complete without a side of rice or chips, so take your pick before devouring these generously-portioned dishes and take a sip of your unlimited drinking options.
The drinks list for this bottomless is short and sweet: but we're glad. This food needs to be appreciated with complementary drinks, so the carefully selected options of Prosecco and raspberry lemonade seem like the ideal combo to us.
If you're feeling adventurous and want to get your weekend (or Tuesday) truly started: there's also unlimited green apple sours on offer. Grab as many as you can over 120 minutes for a refreshing experience.
If you fancy something Korean, something Japanese and everything with top notch service, we're big fans of Oba every day of the week: but now that there's a new bottomless in town, you'll see us in here a lot more often.
As part of their introductory offer, Oba is offering 20% off all bottomless bookings this week. On their Instagram page, Oba said:
"Bottomless Brunch is now available to book at Oba Leeds. Enjoy 2 courses and bottomless drinks for 2 hours for £30 per person! To celebrate the launch of our Bottomless Brunch - we are offering 20% off all bookings until 11th February."

Leeds pizza shop hailed ‘exceptional’ and ‘best in the UK’ by major reviewer
A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
Yorkshire-set Christmas film by Leeds director starring Richard E. Grant set to hit UK cinemas next month
Clementine Hall
A brand-new Christmas film is hitting cinemas nationwide next month - and it’s a proper Leeds success story.
Jack Spring directed his first feature film at just 19 years old and has spent the last decade carving out a career in independent film, as well as co-founding Leeds-based production company Shush Films.
His first movie, Destination: Dewsbury, was shot just down the road in - you guessed it - Dewsbury. And after moving to Leeds from Grimsby, Jack became determined to build his business from the city, putting down roots and growing his production company here.

Now, after years of working on independent projects, Jack has taken his biggest leap yet with a brand-new Christmas film, Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint.
Set in Yorkshire, Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint follows Aubrey Flint, a reclusive model soldier painter with a lifelong hatred of Christmas, who is sentenced to community service at Willow Lodge - a retirement home on the brink of closure.
Roped into helping with a chaotic production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Aubrey clashes with its interesting set of residents...
And the cast is about as star-studded as it gets, featuring Richard E. Grant, John Bradley, Celia Imrie, Adjoa Andoh, Sophia Di Martino, Adrian Rawlins and Kiell Smith-Bynoe.

The heartwarming festive comedy will hit cinemas nationwide on Friday 6 November - a huge milestone for a Leeds-based director and production company, taking a homegrown Yorkshire story to audiences across the country.
You just can't beat a proper wholesome British Christmas film, so you can best believe we'll be watching in the cinema, popcorn in hand.
