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.

14. I Am Doner
While I love a fresh fluffy naan such as those served up at Nergs in Wakefield with lots of fresh meat, my vegan wife however gets her fix at I am Doner with a 'Voner Kebab' While I like their naans, it pains me to say that t’old wife has fake kebab meat on a salad instead.
