When looking for a new takeaway to try, it is incredibly important to check the food hygiene rating.
The Food Standards Agency runs the food hygiene rating scheme in partnership with local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Inspectors rate food venues on a scale of zero to five, with five representing ‘very good’ hygiene standards and zero outlining ‘urgent improvement’ is necessary.
The food hygiene rating is not a guide to food quality, but gives clear information about the businesses’ hygiene standards. Inspectors look at the handling of food, how food is stored, how food is prepared, the cleanliness of facilities and how food safety is managed.
So far, 34 food hygiene ratings have been published for local Leeds takeaways - excluding the big chains - that were inspected in 2026.
Here’s how they fared - from five stars to zero.
