About Lebanese Bites
On Woodhouse Lane in Leeds, Lebanese Bites is a Lebanese restaurant set up as a counter-style operation with limited seating, geared toward dine-in or quick takeaway. The kitchen makes cold and hot mezze fresh daily, including falafel that comes out crispy and homemade, hummus, mutabbal, stuffed vine leaves, tabbouleh, and fattoush, alongside grilled halloumi. A chicken shawarma with halloumi wrap is a recurring order, and the mixed shawarma wrap is another regular pick. The grill menu extends to a full chicken plate served with accompaniments, plus manakish, burgers, and pizzas, with a vegetarian plate also on offer. Meats are halal. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis, and service continues at a fast pace even during peak times.

Customer Review Summary
The chicken shawarma with halloumi draws the most repeat praise, with reviewers saying it blew them away and made them wish they'd found the place sooner. Close behind is the falafel, called perfectly crispy and home made, and the full grill chicken, which one diner ranked among the best in Leeds given its generous accompaniments. Others single out the mixed shawarma wrap and the vegetarian plate as fresh, huge in portion, and good value. Several reviewers repeatedly note fast service and staff described as kind and friendly, alongside fair, reasonable prices even at peak times. A few caveats recur: the space is called cramped with limited seating, more street food counter than restaurant, one reviewer disliked the pickles used, and another felt the burgers and pizza slices were weaker than the Middle Eastern dishes, suggesting sticking to shawarma and grills instead.

“Great place. Good people, good food, very reasonable prices, fast service, and quite reliable. Not the absolute best shawarma I’ve ever had, but still quite good and fair given the price. Store is slightly cramped.”

“Amazing! Wish I’d have found this place sooner because I’d go here everyday. Everything was delicious, but the chicken shawarma and halloumi wrap blew me away. Falafel was perfectly crispy too!”

“Amazing place. I ordered the hollumi and falafel wrap with chips, both were huge. Food was great but I wasn’t the biggest fan of the pickles used- personal issue. Service was so fast at peak time. I would come again but order something different. Also I must commend the home made falafel it was amazing!”
