This smart caravan has been moored on Albion Street for some years now, serving delicious, inexpensive Palestinian food to the good people of Leeds. On my most recent visit, I was with a friend, and while I had the Falafel wrap, he opted for a shawarma. We received them, together with our ethically-sourced soft drinks, in about 5 minutes, and after admiring the view of Barclay's bank, sat down to eat them. The sandwiches were delicious, filling, and absolutely great value, no wonder it is so popular. I'll be back soon.

Akkawi provided us with an amazing buffet for a working lunch in a Leeds office, it was delivered on time and the food was stunning and made a pleasant change from soggy sandwiches. Highly recommend Well Done Akkawi

Akkawi has been serving Palestinian food from a smart caravan on Albion Street for some years now. It always seems to be busy, and sells a range of well-cooked food, such as falafel, shawarma, etc. Me and my pal picked up a couple of falafel sandwiches today, which were really good, pretty hefty, and excellent value at £5 apiece. Pleasent, friendly service. Looking forward to going back soon.

Absolutely love this place! Been coming here for years, best shawarma i’ve ever had. Flavour is on point, service is always great. There’s always a line here at lunchtime, and truly none of the other expensive gyros places popping up in Leeds can match up to Akkawi (won’t name names). Plus it’s Palestinian owned so even better!

This is a small trailer on Albion Street serving Palestinian food. I have come here many times now and the falafel from here is really good. It's very yummy and tastes nothing like the falafel from the shops or other places. Their halloumi is also really good. They have also always been selling their food for quite a cheap and good price, it has had to slowly rise with inflation but still among the cheaper options in Leeds. They are now accepting card too.

Killing time in Leeds city centre waiting for train, slightly hungover after day at cricket and in need of a decent feed and an unusual hankering for falafel. Stumbled across this place by chance, and the falafel and halumi wrap was speaking to me. Happy to say did not disappoint and chap serving more tan happy to oblige with extra chilli and garlic sauce, which is always a bonus

Honestly the juiciest, mouth watering and very filling food! Decent price. Oh just the thought of it is making me want to travel up north and purchase one right now!! I found the shawarma wrap with chilli sauce is the best, it isn’t really chilli which you can’t bear but it just gives a taste of flavour. It’s cash only, lucky there’s a Barclays Bank close by.

Good evening troops, Today we are reviewing ice boujee in Leeds and let me tell you, it was extremely boujee (not icy though it was pretty warm inside) First of all, you are VERY lucky that we did not rate you 4/5 star as you had no waffles in stock which is crazy for a dessert place as it is the most requested item along with eggs on toast (according to the Harvard study taken in 1666 when dessert shop really rose to fame after the great fire of desserts!) but you redeemed yourselves massively with the overall quality of food. The inside of this establishment was like being on extremely strong acid (not that we would know, we have never heard of drugs before;)xx) mum if you’re reading this stop going through my sock drawer, please. There were colours protruding from every corner and also there was a mysterious door in the toilet which I can only assume takes you to Narnia as I heard lions roaring behind it, whoever said yellow and green should never be seen without a colour inbetween was right, it looked like banana bogies. And trust me I’ve tried these and they aren’t nice. But the seats were as soft as a hedgehogs back which if you don’t already know is extremely soft and cushiony. I don’t know if indoor living is a new trend but the garden furniture indoor really stood out to me. Onto the food, we had 4 cookie doughs, which worked out as 3 each and they were absolutely delightful. I cannot describe in words how good this dessert was so I will describe in numbers instead, 8362618204762749477. The ice cream was creamy like a cow and fluffy like a newborn hen, it may be the nicest ice cream I have ever tasted, but I have only tasted 1 before so this may not be a fair comparison. But it worked impeccably well along with the cookie dough. The cookie dough tasted like a cookie that was doughy which is strange for cookie dough however it somehow worked, this is not a combination I would assume to work but wow wee, it certainly did! Presentation was a 10/10, taste was a 10/10 and ya mum is a 10/10. Bossman 1 and 2 worked together like a ship and a big iceberg, which means perfectly and that would a great idea for a film by the way, someone should make that, maybe me, our son Dave Kebab likes films, he was watching one recently about people pretending to be a centipede, I don’t know it ended but he didn’t sleep for 3 nights because he was so thrilled with the film, bless him he’s only 5. We thoroughly enjoyed this place and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone except from my mother in law because I hate her and she doesn’t deserve the pleasure of these desserts, Sandra if you’re reading this stop going through my sock drawer, NOW!!! Over and out you crumbly centipedes.

This was our first visit for over a year and first signs were good with a very busy restaurant on a Wednesday evening. Food and service were excellent! We shared the combo starter between 3 of us and this was definitely sufficient. It arrived sizzling with a delicious selection of pakoras , bhajis and lamb chops. We then shared a Bombay aloo , a gorgeous lamb and spinach balti and a wonderful chicken dish (can’t remember the name ) which contained pieces of peppers and onion. We will definitely be back soon!
