Renovation work is currently being carried out at the building on Kirkstall Road that used to be the home of Meat Is Dead. The new South Indian restaurant that will take its place will be called Trissut Pooram.

A member of staff said that the family-run restaurant does not yet have an opening date set in stone but that the kitchen is already up and running and they are offering a takeaway service.

She said that the family had relocated to Leeds from London after running a successful restaurant in the capital for a number of years.

Trissur Pooram will take the place of Meat Is Dead, a vegan restaurant that opened at the prominent spot on Kirkstall Road in June 2021 but sadly closed less than a year later; citing “crippling costs” as the reason.
