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."
"A humble street food van outside M&S on Briggate, Falafel Guys has no seating. We’ll get that out the way now in case it’s a deal breaker for your family. But if you’re looking for a bite-to-go, or even something to take home and devour later, this is a great place to eat with kids."
"If you have a large appetite, then a great takeaway option is The Golden Horse, as customers say that the portions are large enough for two or three people to share. This takeaway is also praised for the quality of its food and for the friendly customer service. Closed on Mondays, open from 5.30 pm to 11.30 pm from Tuesday to Thursday, and open from 5.30 pm to midnight on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays"
"Really good value for money and unlike anything else you’ll find in York. Service is top notch and no compromise on food standards and hygiene. My fav spot for lunch or dinner.Bonus is the baklava, sweet sticky nutty goodness and freshly made!"

"The elegant property dates from the mid-18th century and over the ages has been a Gentleman's Club, a Building Society and even a cinema. Exhibits include original clocks, clothing, furniture and paintings. The museum also hosts frequent temporary exhibitions."
"Take the family to the former Tetley brewery in Leeds, which is now home to an art gallery, a whole heap of children’s events and a very family-friendly restaurant. You can stop off for a quick drink after your culture vulture-ing or take your time with a proper sit-down. Their dedicated children’s menu, which doubles as a colouring sheet, offers brunch options like brioche eggy bread until midday, and thereafter it’s all about mains like cheese sarnies or crispy chicken with coleslaw."
"A unique experience is discovering the contemporary art offered in the former Tetley Brewery. Explore the latest collections, participate in a workshop or if that’s not your thing, enjoy a pint of Tetley’s or something to eat from their kitchen. If you choose to eat here, 100% of the profit goes to support their artistic programme."
"Founded in 1822, Tetley was once the biggest brewery in the North, and for a while, it was the largest producer of cask ale in the world. Its reign ended when the brewery was taken over by the Carlsberg Group, and the brewery closed in 2011, before being demolished a year later. Thankfully, out of its ashes, a new venue was born."
"Kala Sangam, St. Peter’s House, 1 Forster Square, Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD1 4TY - Visit now. Kala Sangam is an intercultural arts hub based in the heart of Bradford city centre which reflects the diversity of contemporary Britain through the work it presents, the artists it supports and the communities it engages."
"This east Leeds Chinese has an army of fans who simply can't get enough of Rice Paper's "perfect food". A recent review said: "I've struggled for over ten years to find a Chinese takeout in England that was half decent. "Got to the point that I gave up trying and accepted they were all average [but I] tried Rice Paper last night and we ordered the Deluxe menu for 2 to try a bit of everything."
"A family run affair – Rice Paper Cantonese is a local classic found in LS15, a little away from the city centre. However, it gets a place on this roundup because of its glistening reputation and the wonderful, indulgent Cantonese food that it produces. One to put on the list if you’re looking to indulge, there’s a good mix in terms of Westernised favourites and authentic home cooking."
"Customers say that they receive excellent service, as the staff is friendly and the food is served quickly. Rice Paper is both a restaurant and a takeaway, and it has built an outstanding reputation for the quality of the food. Customers also note that the portion sizes are good."
"Canton Gourmet is a takeaway-only option just outside Harrogate in Knaresborough. Its consistently good reviews mean it is the best Chinese takeaway in Knaresborough, despite the unappealing exterior of the building. The food is always a good standard, and the prices are reasonable."
