Habbibi, founded by social media sensation Abdu Rozik, has taken over the former East 59th restaurant and bar in Victoria Gate.
A glitzy event marked the launch of the new restaurant, where the 20-year-old singer and boxer was joined by his UK celebrity friends including Leeds' own Tom Zanetti, reality stars Gary Beadle and Dan Osbourne and hip-hop duo Krept and Konan.
The restaurant was due to become Ikaro, a Manchester-based seafood, grill and champagne bar, but the concept was changed ahead of opening.
A spokesperson for the Habbibi said the restaurant will be "a hotspot for food enthusiasts seeking a vibrant dining experience."
Here are eight pictures inside the stunning new venue, taken by YEP photographer James Hardisty.
