The Cat’s Pyjamas

Indian street food · ★ 4.9 (120 reviews)
53 Otley Road, Headingley · 📍 Google Maps

Indian street food with craft beers: butter chicken, Bombay keema, okra fries and pani puri. Often the busiest room on the street — and for good reason.

Santorini Bar & Grill

Greek & Turkish · ★ 4.8 (151 reviews)
55 Otley Road, Headingley · 📍 Google Maps

Chicken gyros, slow-cooked beef stifado and a big cocktail list in a pretty room. Staff are notably clued-up on coeliac needs and cross-contamination.

Rudy’s Pizza Napoletana

Neapolitan pizza
Arndale Centre, Otley Road, Headingley · 📍 Google Maps

The famous Rudy’s soft, airy Neapolitan pizzas — try the Calabrese or triple pepperoni, and get the chilli honey for dunking your crusts. Dog-friendly, too.

Tada

Japanese
6 Otley Road, Headingley · 📍 Google Maps

Black garlic tonkotsu ramen, wagyu nigiri and sushi that diners call the best in Leeds — with private booths made for date night.

Kuala Lumpur Café

Malaysian
6 Bennett Road, Headingley · 📍 Google Maps

A cosy BYOB Malaysian café just off Otley Road — beef rendang, nasi lemak, roti canai and chicken satay at gentle, homely prices.
