Best place for HALAL food.. all types of food available

The food quality is so good. Great value for money

Very nice food, friendly staff, a 10/10 overall

Loved the food, great value for money

Very poor management, the taste was bad as management.. Didn't recommended if you're looking for desi taste try somewhere else...

Best food place whenever you’re in Leeds👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent food. Once you eat here you will come again to eat.

No place to sit waited 1 hour. Need more space upstairs

Always fresh food 🍱 and delicious as well 🥗price 😍✔️

Very rude and aggressive waiter there Been there for dinner and had a very bad experience, definitely not recommend 👎

The food was delicious, the price very reasonable but staff not very friendly and welcoming and didn’t tell us where to order or how to order and when trying to place an order was talking to other people and not really listening to our order so had to keep repeating ourselves to get the order correct… food came quickly and was fresh…. The seating area is nice and clean and we felt relaxed once we was seated and food was ordered…. Very family oriented and was relaxed even with young children playing around…. Would visit again but would like staff to be more attentive towards customers

The atmosphere was excellent and felt just like the restaurants in my hometown, with floor tables, carpets, and pillows. I loved it! The Kabali Pilaow had an authentic taste and a good portion. However, the chapali kebab didn't have an authentic taste, and I believe the reason was the type of flour they used.

Best Afghani restaurant by far! The chapal kebabs are too succulent and full of taste, they know how to do a proper qabuli pulao, only downside is limited seating but overall a great place to enjoy amazing food

When meat is your main focus, best place to be with your carnivorous mates 👌🏼

Delicious and tasty food and active staff

This is a amazing Afghan cousine I experienced it for the first time on the 7th July 2024 it was absolutely perfect the customer service was amazing nice and friendly staff very confident and outgoing, the food was absolutely amazing very flavour-full, the location is very good nice people and plenty of shops around and the atmosphere was just mind blowing it was nothing I had ever seen before it was fully authentic afghan style nice clean place floor mats and seats and private secluded area for you to enjoy in peace I highly recommend this place and if you guys want me to get more into detail with the food let me know I’ll be more than happy to do so.

Tasty plate of grilled meats and kabuli rice . Enjoyed it. Price was very reasonable at £37

Highly won’t recommend. I ordered for first time 3 Lamb mahichieh they sent me 3 lamb neck I call them they didn’t accept there fault and rude over the phone. I won’t order any more

Very very bad experience.. poor customer service... rude staff food was ok ok

If you want the real Afghan experience then this is the place you're looking for. Everything ranging from the atmosphere to the amazing tasting authentic flavourful afghan food. The staff were very helpful and kind too. I would recommend this especially for families as this is a family orientated place for that true Afghan experience. I'm really looking forward to come again.

Authentic Afghan food! Ordered the mix grill platter (£56) - the menus don't have the updated price so expect a different bill at the end but nevertheless, it was my first time and I will be returning again. The atmosphere was authentic and comfy (sitting on floor just like the traditional way). 5/5

The food was no nice and they don’t know how to make Kabuli pulao and very rude stuff and lazy stuff I go from Bradford because I was very excited to eat my traditional food but I was very disappointed I never go again to this place

Highly recommended Great foot Great environment Great customer service

Food was good. Service was very poor. Waited around 15 min after bell but no one showed up, then from one of us took karahi downstairs...... restaurant was not busy at all from our arrival till we left. Need better service

Great taste, fresh food. If you want something healthy and freshly cooked food in a reasonable price. Then you need to visit Chopan.

Chopan is one of the kind place to eat and relax. 10 out of 10 !! The food is melting in mouth, so tasty , very well presented also. Service is really good, sometimes we need to wait a little bit longer but this place is always super busy and the staff is trying their best. I can't recommend it enough 👌👌👌

Not recommended for family visits

It's 2024 and they still don't take card payments. Thankfully there are 100s of takeaways that do!

Generous portions, fresh lamb, nice fresh naan, Karahi was untradable,reasonably priced with excellent service by Ijlal

Everything is perfect I didn't Face any type of the problem there I absolutely recommend that it's very cheap and provides quality food

Absolutely fantastic food and pricing is very decent for the amount of food you get. It's family friendly place. Afghani rice had the authentic spices and had a good portion. Karahi were also fresh and delicious in taste. I highly recommend this place.

Very tasty food and reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again i tried with thei qabuli rice nd it was delicious Rice was soo flavourful.

Best quality Qabli palao is my favorite

Extra ordinary food with excellent service and atmosphere

Kabuli pilau is 9.7 /10 . Only issue is they charge more than what the cheap flyer menu shows. Might be an issue for trading standards?

Mashallah. Very beautiful customer service and food as well.

Smelly kebabs as usual, 1/10 not fully cooked and was not even round shape. Simply pathetic, i guess they have trainees who are doing cooking. Chicken karahi is also very very poor now 1/10 my child can cook better than these people. If you want pure chapli kebab with consistent quality and no smell then hands down to Abaseen in Bradford. Go there and avoid Chipans smelly and undercooked Chapli kebabs. Abaseen bradford just go there and avoid this.

If you request them something. They will mumble in afghani language with each other with their colleagues and even then does not fulfil the required request and completely ignore you what you have requested, just like yesterday some idiot at the reception did. And in the end mock with a sarcasm expression. Need alot of training like how to talk and act !!!! I can use extreme language here but that will make me 1 of your staff who has zero training and zero grooming from their own parents !!!

I have been regular customer for a few years. Quality of food and taste has deteriorate within last one year. This is after multiple visits with in last two months. I am reluctant to visit again.

This has become our meet up place for family and friends. The place is very traditional loved it. Prices are reasonable too. Will surely be visiting again

Lovely food however no heating in the building. Was freezing cold

Very bad customer service and also very rude they hanged phone on me with no explanation

The food is to die for, I have been there atleast 7 times already. The kabuli pulao, the Chappli kebabs and mamtu are heavenly.

Nice family environment small place lovely food

Lovely place, amazing food. Will be going back ASAP!!

The best desi/asian food in Leeds. A very good experience, yummiest taste. 10/10

Amazing everything apart from accepting cash payment which is horrendous as they ask me to transfer money to their business account. Blimey

We went last time everything was perfect, food was very nice, staff was very friendly and so was the atmosphere very peaceful and relaxing. However thus time when we went we were all so excited to go again,but I think the staff and management had changed so everything had changed. The food wasn't even so nice and the staff was so rude even the seating wasn't clean. Waste of time and money. Would recommend to anyone horrendous experience.

Disgusting food taste like bleach

Delicious authentic Afghan food in a fun seated cushion dining experience

مطعم افغاني عنده رز بخاري ومشاوي وفيه جلسات اسعاره منسابه جدا وحلال

This is by far my favourite restaurant in leeds. Always amazing food, fair price, great service and lovely seating area upstairs. I’ve lived in harehills for five years and I always bring friends here when they visit! Highly recommend.

Visited this restaurant recently, and I must say their Qubuli Pulao, chicken karay afghani and Koobideh Kebabs are nothing short of perfection. Delicious!

This place is 10/10 get the lamb Karahi !

Great place to eat Afghani / Pakistani food

Lovely experience service too good& tasty food highly recommended

What a revelation - excellent food, familiar flavours but not entirely, worth the trip for the rice alone. Wholesome, healthy, delicious soul food.

Delicious food , great price and impeccable service!

Outstanding restaurant, friendly staff, authentic cuisine that wouldn't be out of place in the typical south Asian household. In my opinion, probably the best restaurant in Leeds if you like south Asian cuisine. Delicious.

The khabul pilav is delicious. Environment needs to get some more fresh air

Very nice authentic afghan food highly recommend

This place has become one of my favorite . I tried their afghani chicken karahi before with naan . Bt this time i tried with thei qabuli rice nd it was delicious . Rice was soo flavourful.Their chicken tikka kabab was also top notch. This was my 2nd time there. Definitely going again.

Got the famous platter, its was brilliant, unfortunately due to the restaurant being busy we were unable to find seating upstairs but managed to find seating downstairs - Back to the food, the meats were fresh and seasoned to perfection, the rice was silky - it all went down a treat - definately recommend to everyone

Authentic seating upstairs. Great food! Great service! Flavoursome and tastey. Naan bread is light fluffy and fresh. Authentic stuff!!

Atmosphere is amazing. Good food is not bad.

The food was amazing, excellent and very very tasty, specially lamb chops, manto and qabuli palu ❤️👍

We been visiting regular to the restaurant compare with local takeaway not to bad but unfortunately they don’t except card payment which is take me half hour to find item to Bering cash for them they just love cash guys I will never go back there

Fraud Fraud Fraud avoid this over charging resturant just because it was a quite day I got over charged first impression is now the last what a shame food was quite bland but the service was terrible same time.

The restaurant has become bad, racist towards Gulf citizens, and intentionally cheats. Mixing low-quality meat with high-quality meat, resulting in poor taste. Insufficient rice portion. Ordered skewers, but unfortunately they were not available. When discussed with them, they admitted their shortcomings. This is their current situation."

I had to write this review, because I have been a regular customer to this restaurant but the service getting worse day by day. The quality of meat has changed completely, not the same as before. I tried to give a lot of opportunities to improve, but after what happened today of negative reactions and small amounts of food. I spoke to the service provider, and he didn’t respond, as if he didn’t care, which forced me to write this review.

Terrible Service and rude staff

Great taste but service was not good. Evertime I visited I have to go downstairs if I need anything. Overall great sitting area and good taste.

Their mixed grill is absolutely awesome. We usually order takeaway and it never disappoints. One of the best grilled meat I've ever had. Went with friends to the restaurant, service was OK but they were very busy and it was only a Wednesday evening. Seating is traditional South Asian, sit on the floor with a little raised table, this is not to everyone's liking. One thing that never disappoints is their food absolutely spot on. We also got Lamb mandi dish, very good. Friends weren't from Leeds and they were very impressed. Cash only, immediate chaspoint charge for withdrawal.

This is the 10th time we ate at Chopwn & all praise to God , the experience was as usual amazing, Food Quality was good however quantity was a little less specially the soup

The best Kabuli Pilau from these guys and Kobeda Kebab 🥙 👌

Fresh, good quality ingredients with individuality. Waiter was really friendly and provided excellent table service

Zero service literally during eating i go two times downstairs to get water and food for me. Only plao is value for money all other food is just waste of health and wealth. Not recommended at all.

Overpriced. Tiny portion still felt hungry after. Wouldn't recommend. Shahi Nan over the road is way better.

My favourite restaurant in Leeds. Great and authentic Afghani food. Ordered a Qubali Pullow for £11 (Cash Only) and they gave me so much food. Its was delicious. Thank you.

Dnt order the lamb karahi full of bones and fat no meat

Food is great and dining in has never been a problem. However if you order online you will be charged a silly amount on delivery to bump it up to minimum £20. This is not stated clearly on the website nor on the receipt so be mindful when ordering unless your order meets the minimum £20 spend which isn’t clearly stated!

It's amazing thank you watandar bradar shuma az kurdistan

Very tasty food and reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again.

Clean place good tasty food nice educated

Nice and tasty afghan food. Worth to try

Last week I went to this restaurant with my visitors. We were very happy about foods ,service and prices as well . 🙏🏾

Food is okay not the best but if u compare other local takeaways it's good .. there is no service at all u have to give 10 shouts to call somebody for water or anything else u need .sitting area is okay . They are charging 20% more then menu prices saying prices gone up.. they should update menu as well as one who is eating should know how much they are spending before going on counter to pay bill.

This is a small restaurant, far from hygiene and cleanliness. Food was okay, Afghan pilao was tasteless but Chapli kebabs were exceptionally good, must try. Will I go again? Probably not.

Courteous and friendly staff, very reasonable prices, excellent taste, kabuli mahiche (pulao), chapli kebab are very good. Their karrahi dishes (lamb Mandi, chicken and lamb karrahi) are good as well but on one occasion it was too salty. Recommend to anyone who is looking for Afghani / desi food

Great place to experience Afghan food

Freshly served great tasting food. Really enjoyed their warm bowl of soup. Food is appropriately priced.

We went here after many recommendations and it did not disappoint. The service was friendly and efficient and the food was amazing. You have to try the qabuli pulao and chapli kebab. Also they had a floor seating arrangement upstairs which felt more authentic and added to the experience.

Bought four boxes of there Afghani rice and was told after we had paid that there was no meat in it. which meant it was just four small boxes of plain rice for £18.50 super disappointing.

Amazing food, something different

Delicious food love the soup and few from main dish absolutely 10 star restaurant love sitting traditional central Asian sunnati place.

Disgusting behaviour from the staff. I arrived with friends last night at around 10 and we weren’t served our order until a little after 10:30 which is understandable, however, whilst my friends and I were talking, we were rudely asked to leave. I politely explained to the gentleman that if they were closing at 11:00 they should have informed us and we wouldn’t have ordered as much as we did, however, they were happy to take our order but then didn’t feel bad asking us to leave before we had finished. Then to put the icing on the cake when we went to pay the bill, we were told that the prices on the menu are ‘2019’ prices and apparently we were supposed to ask the waiter for the new prices of each item that we ordered. Under the Trade Description Act 2003 restaurants must display the price of food and displaying incorrect prices is an offence under the Act. They were persistent that every other order they had on the same day was fine and we were the only group making an issue about their misleading prices and the owner/manager stood and argued for nearly 30 minutes but wouldn’t admit he was wrong.

Great service. Went with me children

Came out 5 of us ordered the full platter with rice and a lamb curry. The platter was amazing the rice the meat was so succulent and flavoursome. The curry was not to my liking but overall the food the staff was bang on, it’s a must try with friends we will deffo be back at some point.
