15 of the best restaurants in Leeds according to Rate My Takeaway star Danny Malin
While on my YouTube channel I make a living from pulling out my camping table and chair where I sit scranning a takeaway before rating it, many would think that I get bored of eating out and takeaways. When in fact my favourite pastime is ordering food to enjoy with my family.
For most of us all our favourite memories tend to be food related. From my first kebab on a night out in Barnsley to my first date with my now wife at Tattu in Leeds and all the pub grub I’ve eaten over the years with my extended family on special occasions.
I’m lucky as a former butcher, food hygiene consultant and cafe owner turned food reviewer that I know of some of the best places to eat out in Leeds and West Yorkshire. I look for places that are value for money, use good quality ingredients and have food packed with flavour.
Here are my recommendations.

While they’re Instagrammable with all the flower walls, for me it’s all about the grub and I think they do one of the best mixed grills in Leeds. Photo: Google

That’s not forgetting the Chinese food we had after the wedding at Joy’s Kitchen which serves up Chinese-style tapas, aka Dim Sum. Photo: Joy's Kitchen
11. Istanbul Kebab
Those who know me know I love a kebab - or ten - and my favourite kebab after a night out in Leeds is Istanbul Kebab. It's near the Corn Exchange on the edge of the market. Photo: Rate My Takeaway

The owner here is just so happy and is smiling all the time. I’d say this is the happiest kebab shop in the UK, it certainly felt like it when I visited after my stag do. Photo: Steve Riding
