Award winning Turkish steakhouse brings some excitement to the Yorkshire culinary scene

The renowned Turkish Steakhouse, Etci Mehmet looks to heat up Yorkshire’s cultural & culinary scene with a brand new restaurant set to open in the heart of Leeds this summer.

With its stellar reputation for exceptional steaks and a dining experience like no other, Etci Mehmet has become the latest hotspot for food enthusiasts across the region.

Having already captured the hearts (and taste buds) of diners in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, Etci Mehmet brought its unique blend of premium culinary delights and vibrant atmosphere to the heart of Yorkshire.

At Etci Mehmet, every dining experience is a celebration. Guests are treated to a feast for the senses, with legendary fire shows and a mouthwatering Turkish-inspired menu available every day of the week.

From the 28-day dry-aged premium beef to the show-stopping Etci Special Fillet Mignon prepared tableside with live flambé demonstrations, and not forgetting their sensational famous Turkish Baklava, there’s something to delight every palate.

Founded in Istanbul in 2012 by Mehmet and Mustafa (affectionately known as Baba), Etci Mehmet launched its first UK restaurant in Manchester, which instantly became the city’s hottest dining spot.

This was followed by openings in Riyadh, Birmingham, Liverpool, Doha and Casablanca. Now, with its arrival in Leeds, the restaurant has fast become a firm favourite among locals and visitors alike.

Their UK brand has rapidly risen to a high-profile premium favourite, attracting loyal regulars including celebrities and sports stars.

Etci Mehmet has a unique way of bringing people together in their relaxed yet vibrant restaurants. They have created the perfect place to enjoy a delicious lunch, dinner with friends and celebrations for the whole family to enjoy, with the warmth of their hospitality.

Operations Director Amine el Gueddar commented: “We are thrilled to have continued our UK expansion. Leeds has been cooking for a long time and was the next natural destination.

Many of our guests travel weekly from the Yorkshire district, including Bradford, Huddersfield, Batley, Dewsbury and Wakefield; we wanted to bring the Etci experience closer to them.”

He added: “Leeds ticks all the boxes and we found the perfect location on Eastgate Headrow, in the heart of the city. It is easily accessible to students, professionals, and families alike. With ample parking and close proximity to city centre transport links and motorways, enjoying a delicious meal at Etci Mehmet has never been easier.”

As one of the UK’s largest cities, Leeds holds a wealth of opportunities for Etci Mehmet. The restaurant is excited to become a part of the city’s thriving community and looks forward to contributing to its development and growth.
