Halal chicken, which is perfect when working in central Leeds. I got the Thursday special (there's a queue system for the specials, you just give your initials and pay), and within 10 ish mins, I had a hot chicken schnitzel sandwich! £7.90 when you choose to add cheese, hot juicy chicken, and it's kept me full all day, (had a decent amount of salad in too). My colleague visited the Sesame salad bar opposite and demolished her salad too. Highly recommend for a healthy, easy and balanced lunch.
It’s Tuesday morning, so I tried the giant special falafel wrap. It was perfect. The place was nice and clean. The staff were very friendly.
Absolutely fantastic healthy food with plenty options to choose from!And so tasty oh my god! Even the broc is better cooked than how i cook it. The ladies were helpful and very friendly which is much appreciated as i walked in there for the first time today!
This was was absolutely buzzing for their daily special. Once you have placed your order expect to wait for a while. You get to watch them freshly make and compile 100s of specials which seems a well oiled machine. After tasting the sandwich you can understand why it's so busy. 10/10, crispy juicy snitzel and full of flavour. Tasty and great value for money.
The system inside is very hectic and confusing, and it’s so loud and hard to hear the staff but they’re very friendly and the food is delicious! Prices are fair too! I am making my way through their extensive vegetarian sandwich selection but the salad bar looks amazing too!
