Quick info
About Sesame
Sesame is a sandwich shop at 4 Wellington Pl in Leeds, where the chicken is halal and HMC certified, so the sourcing is stated clearly for anyone who eats halal. That chicken goes into schnitzel sandwiches and wraps, including a chicken schnitzel sandwich and a crispy chicken wrap that both run as specials. Breakfast sandwiches are on the menu too, alongside the chicken. Falafel and salad rounds out the choice for customers who want something without meat.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the crispy chicken wrap, the Wednesday and Thursday special alongside the chicken schnitzel, praising its flavour and good quality ingredients, with one saying it trumps every other wrap or burritos they have had. The chicken schnitzel sandwich gets repeated mentions, and one reviewer notes the chicken is halal. Close behind, breakfast items such as the sausage sandwich and a bacon and egg buttie with black pepper draw praise, and a vegetarian reviewer describes the falafel and salad as fresh and full of flavour. Coffee is called excellent. Many describe the staff as friendly, and one mentions speedy service with no wait, which suits a short lunch break. Food is repeatedly called fresh, and one reviewer says prices match the portion sizes. No recurring complaints appear in the reviews. Several regulars say they come back for the Wednesday wrap, and one says they won't go a Wednesday without it.
