The ultimate food card gives one person unlimited free food for an entire year.
If you're looking for a hearty lunch whilst out shopping in Trinity, there really is only one place to head for a crowd-pleaser lunch that even the fussiest of eaters love.
Trinity Kitchen is famed for its unique food traders, including the ever-changing residencies inside the likes of VW camper vans and horse boxes, each converted for a kitchen-use.

One of the staple foodies at Trinity is Rola Wala, who specialise in fresh and healthy Indian-inspired meals. Open since 2014, the restaurant has gained fans like pop star Rita Ora and BBC chef, Rachel Khoo over the years- and now the eatery are giving you the chance to have a celebrity-status when dining in Trinity Kitchen.
Essentially, a black card is a sign of being a 'top fan' of a food or drinks vendor that gives you unlimited free food.
Nandos 'High Five' black card, as seen from the likes of Stormzy and Ed Sheeran started the trend and the concept has since become a national phenomenon.
Rola Wala is becoming the latest restaurant to join the rather exclusive club of black card holders in Leeds and they're giving customers a chance to win one for themselves whilst they dine in-store or at home.

Throughout March, every customer order will be entered into a prize draw: it's as simple as that.
Rola Wala has partnered with Deliveroo to offer the winner unlimited free food for an entire year, plus the chance to be one of the first to try out their new Indian street food menu.
The new launches include delicious flavours like Super-Hot Scorpion chutney, plant-powered 'Thali Triple' bowl, wholemeal naan and a full range of new salads and drinks too.
Of course, all their regulars will be on the menu. Think naan bread rolls packed with chicken tikka, sweet potato saag, meatball rogan josh or even paneer with cookies, Kombucha and poppadums aplenty- and mostly all under 500 calories.
Lederhosen at the ready Leeds, because a new party bar is coming to the city.
Taking over the former Revolución de Cuba venue on Call Lane, the site will close for a major refurbishment before reopening in October as the seventh Barbara’s Bier Haus in the UK.
This isn't your average bar, guests can expect a proper themed experience with dancing bartenders in lederhosen, shot skis, DJs and interactive entertainment alongside beer and cocktail towers, shareable pizzas and wursts bringing the on-the-slopes atmosphere to the city.
Basically, it's time to cancel your upcoming skip trip as Barbara's will be bringing the slopes to you.

Russell Quelch, CEO of NEOS Hospitality, said about the opening: “Leeds has a fantastic nightlife scene, so it’s the perfect place for Barbara’s Bier Haus.
"The city is known for its energy and its love of a good night out, and Barbara’s brings something a little different with its après-ski theme, entertainment and big party atmosphere. We’re really excited to bring Barbara’s to Leeds and can’t wait to get the doors open this October.”

The upcoming Leeds opening forms part of a wider rollout of Barbara’s Bier Haus across the UK, as NEOS Hospitality continues to expand its core brands following its acquisition of 20 Revolution and Revolución de Cuba venues earlier this year.
Further details on the Leeds opening of Barbara's Bier Haus, including exclusive launch events and entertainment schedules will be announced ahead of October - and we'll of course be bringing you all the details.
Call Lane bar closes down for good after almost a decade in Leeds
Daisy Jackson
A popular bar and nightlife spot on Call Lane has closed its doors for good this weekend.
Revolución de Cuba - or Revs de Cuba, to most of us - announced the imminent closure of its Leeds bar last week, and went out with a 'final fiesta' on Saturday.
The venue opened on Call Lane, right in the heart of Leeds' nightlife heartland, back in 2015, and remained open after the collapse of Revolution's parent company back in January 2026.
The group's other venue in the city, Revolution at the Electric Press, did close immediately in January.
Revs de Cuba was famed for its Latin-inspired food and cocktails, and its late-night parties that tried to recreate the party atmosphere of Cuba.
The two-storey venue also had live music throughout the week, plus dancers and entertainment at the weekends.
Posting a statement to followers, Revs de Cuba wrote: "We have loved shaking your cocktails and creating unmissable parties and events over the years, but as of today, 15th August 2026, we will sadly be closing our doors in Leeds.
"We want to extend an enormous thank you for joining the Revolucion party and making some unforgettable memories.
"Any guests with bookings will be contacted in due course - Thank you for your patience and understanding. Goodbye and Gracias."
Commenting on their farewell post, one person wrote: "Noooooo! I had the best nights ever at Revs. I have the best memories. This cannot be trueeee."
Another said: "Thanks for so many years of Live Music and Joy."
And someone else posted: "what a place, end of an era."
The existing Revs de Cuba site in Leeds is under the steer of the NEOS Hospitality, who have revealed grand plans for its future...
