A lot of things seem to have changed since I moved to Leeds six years ago. When it can to fitting in, I had little problem although a ’southern softy’. For example, you might think there are hundreds more takeaways nowadays, when in actual fact each one cunningly uses multiple menus and phone-lines; you’re pretty much always going to get food from Lucky’s and there is little you can do about it. Or is there? Customers are connected to the takeaway suppliers by a nationwide online company called Just Eat.

I once loved many takeaways, a bit overweight actually, and whilst in a taxi last week was asked by the driver if he had seen me before somewhere. It was a bit weird as he kept looking at me through the mirror in the taxi and then said, ‘Didn’t you live on Mayville road once’? I was a little nervous and a bit surprised as well. He went on, ‘Yes, then you moved away to Moorland Avenue, yea’? He was right, and ventured to explain further that he had been a delivery man at a kebab shop that dealt with takeaway Leeds.

If you want know my opinion, Chinese takeaway Leeds are by far the best that I have ever tasted at any time. Yorkshire also has a large Indian community, which makes some of the best curries in the land. If you conduct an online search for ‘Indian takeaway Leeds’, you will be pleasantly surprised by the varieties on offer.

Although I didn’t like the idea that my exact location in Leeds could be traced to within a mile by trails of kebab papers and pizza boxes, this taxi revelation also made me consider that although Leeds seems to have changed a lot over the past few years – many things had simply stayed the same
