Whether it is the end of a long week, a celebratory treat, or simply a Tuesday night where the kitchen feels just a bit too far away, Leeds is a city that truly knows its way around a delivery menu.
From the aromatic spice of a traditional Alwoodley curry to the sizzle of a Yeadon wood-fired pizza, our city’s food scene is as diverse as it is delicious.
But while we all have our own local "usual," we wanted to find out which spots truly go above and beyond.
We asked the readers of the Yorkshire Evening Post on our Facebook page to nominate the takeaways they swear by—the ones that never miss a beat on quality, speed, or that all-important "deliciousness" factor.
The response was overwhelming, proving that Leeds' love affair with a great night in is stronger than ever.
While one particular Yeadon establishment managed to spark a total landslide of support, the final list represents a fantastic cross-section of our suburbs, featuring everything from "absolutely delicious" Turkish specialities to the humble, perfectly-fried chippy.
Here are the 25 best takeaways in Leeds, as chosen and championed by you.
