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.
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."
The 42-year-old Kirkgate Market stall serving freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 a pop
Clementine Hall
Tucked away in Leeds Kirkgate Market you'll find a wonderful seafood stall selling freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 each.
It's places like these that remind us why we love Leeds so much.
Established in 1880, Hayes Seafood is widely regarded as the oldest trader within the historic Kirkgate Market.
For the past 42 years, it has been run by Cliff and Michelle, the loveliest couple who welcome every customer with open arms.

The menu here is small but perfectly formed, focusing on fresh, ready-to-eat seafood that you can enjoy with a squeeze of lemon and a dollop of mayonnaise at most.
Delivered fresh every morning, there's pre-cracked crab shells, brown and white crab meat, cockles, crawfish tails - all perfectly prepared for you to eat at their bar or high tables opposite.
But, it's the oysters that you'll see people queueing for. And rightly so.

Everything here is prepared to order right in front of you, and for no extra fee. You can choose from two types of oysters: super salty Lindisfarne oysters or the slightly sweeter English Loch Fyne.
We recommend having a couple of each, pulling up a stool right by the counter and getting stuck in. If you ask Cliff nicely, he might tell you a bit about the history of the place - but you may have to order a couple more oysters for that.

You're left to dress them yourself, whether you prefer dash of fiery tabasco or a few pickled shallots. But to be honest, they're delicious just as they come.
This spot is a real piece of Leeds history, and the queues at lunchtime as well as the repeat regular customers proves just how special it is.
All it's missing is a champagne stall next to it...now wouldn't that be perfect?
