Authentic Turkish food that impresses.

Lavanta Meze Bar is like the Turkish food haven you didn’t know you needed. Osbert Peter thought it was the most authentic experience in Leeds, and you can’t go wrong with a family-run vibe. The Chef’s Meze Platter is a standout, with Tonda Mhone calling it exceptional.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and if you’re there for a special occasion, Derry Fletcher had his birthday made special by the attentive staff. Food portions are generous, and the flavors are spot on, making it a reliable choice for a good meal.
