Contemporary American dishes including burgers and prawns cooked on the BBQ are accompanied by creative cocktails, which can be enjoyed late into the night. Saturday nights see DJs take to the decks on the terrace, making it a particularly great place to come with friends.Where: 3rd Floor Rooftop, Victoria Gate, George Street, LS2 7AU"

"If you’re looking for somewhere a little more informal to indulge in the aromatic flavours of the East, then this is the place for you!. Thai Sabai literally means ‘a feeling of well-being, a place to relax’ and their modest interiors and friendly staff certainly reflect this. They have an excellent menu of starters, mains, sides and desserts but if you struggle with decision making, opt for one of their set menus which start at 18.95 pp."

"Thai Sabai is a Headingley favourite that specialises in quality South East Asian cuisine. You can get popular classics like Chicken Pad Kee Mow and Beef Panang Curry, but they also have a wide and varied meat-free menu which includes Tofu Thai Red Curry, Sum Tam Thai Salad and Mixed Veg Pad Thai."

"This local favourite is out in the Headingley ’burbs, but it’s worth the trek. From the outside it looks like a takeaway, but don’t be fooled. Inside you’ll find a few rows of tables, Thai wood carvings and low lighting – a fuss-free environment that allows the food to shine."
