The Best Cheap Eats in Leeds
"It shouldn’t be a surprise that most locals will hand out a glowing recommendation for this little popup. A red truck on Briggate high street, their sumptuous falafel and halloumi wraps are to die for, and what’s more, you’ll be able to pick one up for the change in your back pocket. 47 Briggate, Leeds LS16HF (falafelguys)"
"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."
"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"
"Championing all things chicken, Absurd Bird is your one-stop shop for wings, waffles and tenders. Perfect for a speedy lunchtime bite or a wallet-friendly meal with mates, this crowd-pleasing Leeds restaurant also caters for vegans."
"I stumbled upon this small corner diner on one of my trips to town during freshers’ week. Inconspicuously located opposite Barclays Bank, Zunera’s may easily be overlooked, but I have visited multiple times for their biryani dish. For a tasty good portion at an affordable price, you know where to go if you get hungry while running errands in town."
"The generous portions and freshly-cooked food at Mother Hubbard’s is sure to keep you coming back for more. Pop in and try their traditional menu, which combines light and crispy battered fish with a nice cup of tea. Check out the ‘wrapped in newspaper’ decor too – everything from the walls to the food containers have been decorated in old newspaper headlines and front pages, so you’ll have plenty to read while you chow down."
"Located in the student community of Hyde Park, not far from Headingley, the Greasy Pig is renowned for being a minimalist haven for amazing food and drink. Their signature dish ‘the Paralyser’ is great if you have the appetite, as are the many food challenges they have. Feeling something a bit lighter?"
"Specializing in feeding hungry students for affordable prices. You are likely to find something on the menu that will appeal to you. Most meals are under £5 pounds."
"This strictly kosher and vegetarian bakery is perfect if you’re following a specific diet, and offers a vast selection of baked goods, from breads and bagels, to fresh cream cakes and mouth-watering jam doughnuts. Visit: 399 Street Lane, LS17 7HQ"
"Grand Arcade is another beautiful Grade II listed building, with a beautiful Victorian architecture consisting of arched windows and wooden floors. It is again home to lots of independent shops, such as a wedding dress shop, as well as some well-loved eateries like Zaap Thai Street Food."
"Considering its relatively small stature, the Grand Arcade definitely packs plenty in. It’s full of places to eat and drink – this is where you’ll find the hidden entrance to The Domino Club tucked away inside Lords’ Barbering, and the quaint Just Grand!"
"The Grand Arcade is one of the oldest shopping Arcades in Leeds City Centre, and it is well worth a visit…"
"Crown Point Shopping Park is a fun place to visit if you are looking to unwind and have a leisurely trip to shop or dine. This is also a go-to place to complete your errands and buy some essentials that you need at home or your office. Housing a wealth of shops from drugstore, gadgets and appliance store, furniture, pet store, toy store, clothing shop, optician and travel and tour agency, they certainly offer comprehensive solutions to the different needs that you may have."
"Just on the south side of Leeds, Crown Point is the closest retail park to the city centre. It’s a great place to visit, with a variety of well-known names lined up for you to explore. Book a holiday at Tui, browse the Wren Kitchens showroom and see how you stand up to the pester power of your kids when you take them along to Smyths Toy Superstore."
