Eating For Less At<br />

The Weekend<br />

Hungry for new places to eat? We sent Belinda Dias and Saif<br />

Ishafaq to find fresh restaurants in Leeds.<br />

Leeds has a massive range of places to eat, with the presence of<br />

Trinity Kitchen; the food available to students just got a whole lot<br />

tastier.<br />

However, here at Extrovert, we look for places that offer good food<br />

without breaking your bank.<br />

We set ourselves a mission to find the best places for students to eat<br />

nice food that won’t leave you with half of your student loan missing.<br />

We travelled around Leeds City Centre, looking for places where<br />

we think students would enjoy visiting, be it for dinner or just a quick<br />

lunch.<br />

The weekend is the highlight of most students’ week. With work<br />

and the educational side of life over for a blissful two days, we are<br />

determined to make the most out of our weekends.<br />

Most students spend this time by going out with friends, or even<br />

having a lazy two days with Netflix and a pack of Walkers.<br />

However, there is a recurring factor that pops up every weekend, no<br />

matter what kind of activities come up: Food.<br />

Everybody likes to go out and eat, be it for a cheeky nando’s, or for a<br />

swanky meal with work friends.<br />

Thankfully, Leeds offers a huge range of places to eat, but that<br />

seems to be half the problem.<br />

We struggle to find places that offer good and reasonably priced<br />

food amongst the sea of café’s and fast food joints.<br />

The problem with us students is that we’re terrible at managing our<br />

cash.<br />

No denying it, we are horrible with our money. Which is why<br />

finding cheap places is so important to us here at Extrovert. (Some call<br />

us stingy, but hey, I’ve got an extra £50 in the bank each month, what<br />

have YOU got?)<br />

Although we only go into detail about three restaurants, there are<br />

many honourable mentions, which include: Peachy Keens, a buffet<br />

styled restaurant where they cook the meat on your own table! Five<br />

Guys, a brilliant burger place which a hub of student spending. And of<br />

course, Trinity Kitchen, which offers a huge range of food.<br />

Belinda and Saif found many places to eat, but there are three which<br />

stood out to us most, and they are as follows:<br />

Zizzi’s, Rola Wala and Turtle Bay. (More information regarding these<br />

restaurants are shown on the opposite page)<br />

and got the opnions of the customers of the same resturants we went<br />

to.<br />

“What I enjoy most about Rola<br />

Wala is that it is all less than 500<br />

calories so it’s all very healthy for<br />

you and very quick to get.”<br />

Caitlin, 18, Leeds.<br />

“Zizzi’s provide a classy and<br />

affordable experience with<br />

wonderful service. A massive<br />

variety to choose from but I very<br />

much enjoyed the salmon and<br />

would definitely recommend it”<br />

Alice, 23, Leeds.<br />

“Very fun and vibrant in colour<br />

and in taste. Turtle Bay has a<br />

wonderful atmosphere and great<br />

music. A place you wouldn’t really<br />

get bored of.”<br />

Jason, 20, Leeds.<br />

The opinion of the public is massively important to us, so we went out
