The Best Cheap Eats in Leeds
"If you haven’t tried one of Falafel Guys’ legendary wraps yet, you need to snaffle one ASAP. Head to their food truck on Briggate or to their stall in Assembly Underground and you’ll be treated to a flatbread loaded with falafel, halloumi, chicken shawarma or any combination of the three. Smothered with traditional Arabic hummus, tahini, fresh salad, lashings of sauce and a pickled chilli, it’s a real treat for the tastebuds."
"Falafel Guys‘ street food van serves some of the most amazing food in Leeds. Their Arabic wraps are to die for, and they are absolutely full to the brim with delicious fillings. It may only operate on a takeaway basis, but it’s a great option to stop by for lunch on a day out shopping, as it’s pretty centrally located too."
"Give into your comfort food cravings and enjoy a meaty feast of beef, chicken and vegan burgers, wings, fries and sides, polished off by an Oreo, marshmallow, coconut and chocolate pie, served warm with ice cream.

"Expect the usual array of obscene burgers that promise to fulfil the brand’s ‘come hungry, leave wobbly’ motto, along with hotdogs, fries, sides and hard shakes. Kids and dogs are both welcome and vegans are catered for too."
"Step away from the soggy meal deal sandwich, and head to MEATLiquor for a real feed, with a lunch deal available during the week that gives you any burger, fries and a soda for a tenner. Mon-Fri, 12-5pm, £10"
"They’re famed for their wings, and they double cook them to give them a unique crunch. But that’s not all they do. Look out for heaving Bird Burgers or mix it up with one of their chicken-waffle combinations, like the Chilli Choc Wafflewich, which comes drizzled with their signature chocolate and chilli sauce."
"No matter where you go in the world chances are you’ll meet people who naturally think of fish and chips when they think of English people. It’s a stereotype that we can happily live up to, and a tradition that you should certainly dive into head first while you travel here. Murgatroyds is quite possibly the best fish and chip restaurant in England, with a reputation that means you could be queueing for a little while if you don’t make a reservation."
"I don’t want to be ‘fishing’ for compliments…but how good does this look!. 😍 Looks like the perfect meal to warm up your bellies on this cold and rainy day!. #murgatroyds #billymurgspecial"
"One of the city's more unusual puddings, the Wowbun at Almost Famous pays homage to the restaurant's typical fare of burgers. The cinnamon dusted brioche bun houses a chocolate truffle cereal crunch patty (think sugar puffs – sorry, Honey Monster Puffs – cemented together with a whole load of tooth melting chocolate) covered in whipped cream and drizzled with a salted caramel sauce. Not quite as heavy as some of the other offerings, it's still a taste sensation and something to be experienced."
"For those times you’re in need of a no-holds-barred Friday night treat for all the family, consider Almost Famous. It’s by no means the healthiest or cheapest family restaurant in Leeds, but it will certainly ramp the excitement level up to near-hysteria. Burgers are the plat du jour and your young ones can choose between a classic cheeseburger, chicken burger or a brain-boggling burger topped with frazzles, mac and cheese and a strawberry pop tart!"
"Boasting a huge array of juicy burgers, hungry diners can team it with some loaded fries and wings for a deliciously hearty feast. For a true taste of America, try the River Phoenix - a double cheeseburger, bacon, shoestring, onions, frazzles, red chillies, redneck BBQ, bacon bacon mayo, and bacon ketchup. Visit: 23-25 Great George Street, LS1 3AL - almostfamousburgers.com"
"They’re currently running a reduced menu, but still have loads of different sundaes to tempt you in, from classics like the Banana Split, with strawberry slices, vanilla ice cream, syrup and sprinkles, to the Mango Mania, with Alphonse mango ice cream, fruit pieces and mango syrup."
"This ice cream truck is to the rescue – and serving straight from an ambulance window. Located in the beautiful Museum Gardens, this is the perfect pit stop before lounging in the sun. Museum Gardens, Museum St, York, YO1 7FR"
"Brew York, a renowned independent business brewing its own fantastic variety of booze is a favourite amongst beer fans. Their riverside beer garden in York is a hidden gem tucked behind the Enterprise Complex on Walmgate through the metal gates. Enjoy their own creations with everything from chocolate stout to sour lingonberry beer."
