Given the huge amount of choice, it can often be difficult to decide exactly where to go. We have all been had the hour debate over where to eat because nobody will make the decision on where to go! Well not to worry, we are here to help.

Below we have made a list of 5 of the coolest cuisines for you to take your mates or partners on a taste bud adventure.

Akbars

1. Akbars

If you are a fan of the Pakistani cuisine, there is no better place than Akbars. Located on the Headrow, Akbars serves up some of the best traditional dishes around. You can expect to be seated in a classy, peaceful and authentic setting, being served by only the best trained waiters and waitresses.

Choose from an expanse of meals including the ever famous chicken Korma and Masala, the delicious Bhuna and Jalfrezi, or maybe you fancy taking on a challenge, in which case their Vindaloo is exquisite. They also offer a large range of tasty wines and ales, along with a fine selection of soft drinks, so whatever the occasion, they are sure to have a meal to match.

Fazenda

2. Fazenda

For all lovers of meat, this is truly heaven on earth! Steakhouses are everywhere and often offer a very similar standard of service and dishes, not Fazenda! The reason they have been mentioned on this list is due to their different approach and fantastic service methods.

Fazenda is an all you can eat steak house (not just beef), that offers the customer as much quality as you can expect from a 5 star Rodeo Drive restaurant. The extremely well trained and well-mannered waiters are forever on their feet, carrying skewers of some of the most succulent, sweet and mouth-watering cuts of meat you will ever taste.

You need not bother raising your hand or looking aimlessly at a group of waiters to be served, with a flick of the wrist to turn your card to green, a waiter will be at your service carving you a range of meats, including their delicious honey glazed pork, garlic beef rump, fillet mignon and the exquisite chicken frango (with bacon).

Salad lovers fear not, they also have an impressive range of sides on the salad bar, including pastas, sun dried tomatoes, olives and a rich potato salad.

2 Oxford Place

3. 2 Oxford Place

This quirky and independently run restaurant and bar isn’t like the rest, given that it is the only 100% gluten free restaurant in the whole of Yorkshire! So if you happen to be a coeliac or have an allergy to gluten, this is most definitely the place to be to throw the worry of an allergic reaction completely out of the window.

However, if you happen to be a lover of gluten and can’t imagine the taste of food without it, I assure you, they may be gluten free, but you will be pleasantly surprised with the tastiness of the delights they can whip up.

Located on Oxford Place in the Heart of Leeds, this quirky eatery serves up a great range of traditional English dishes, including the ever favourite sausage and mash, soups with deliciously baked bread (gluten free) and even a huge Sunday roast. They also offer a delightful afternoon tea experience, in which you can enjoy some scrumptious caked (without wheat), washed down with a delicious English tea.

Cielo Blanco

4. Cielo Blanco

Cielo Blanco is a newly established Mexican restaurant located at the top of the new Leeds Trinity Complex. This authentic and vibrant restaurant aims to give its customers the simple taste of authentic Mexican cuisine, whilst offering the best service and atmosphere available.

It can be hard to find a good Mexican dish in Leeds, especially as Cielo Blanco is one of the first authentic Mexican restaurants to open its doors here. They offer a range of street and market food inspired dishes, including soft and crispy shell tacos, mouth-watering quesadillas, spicy enchiladas and the ever famous big eat burrito.

Cielo Blanco also offers a large drink selection, including a vast range of uniquely concocted cocktails, golden crisp ales and freshly squeezed non-alcoholic fruit juices.
