Etci Mehmet Leeds is a theatrical Turkish steakhouse, located right in the heart of the city. Originally founded in Istanbul, the brand has become renowned for its flamboyant dining experience, combining premium dry-aged meats with live fire shows and tableside cooking that turns every meal into a spectacle.
The menu is a celebration of Turkish cuisine with a modern twist. Signature dishes include 28-day dry-aged steaks, spicy giant meatballs oozing with cheese, beef sushi, and the Etci special fillet mignon flambeed at your table. There’s also a wide selection of mezze, burgers, vegan steaks, lamb chops, and indulgent desserts like baklava served with ice cream - or even topped with 24-carat gold leaf for extra drama. All meats are halal, and the drinks list is entirely alcohol-free, featuring mocktails like virgin mojitos and babas mule, alongside Turkish tea and coffee.
Inside, the restaurant is a visual feast. The former Leeds Gas Showroom has been transformed into a vast, vibrant space with stone pillars, plush blue banquettes, and lush greenery. Booths by the windows offer prime people-watching spots, while the open-plan layout ensures guests are never far from the action. The atmosphere is lively and family-friendly, with staff known for their energy and flair.
Etci Mehmet’s Leeds team are passionate about delivering a dining experience that’s as memorable as it is delicious. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday with sparklers and a show, or simply indulging in a steak cooked to perfection, Etci Mehmet offers a unique blend of Turkish hospitality, culinary excellence, and immersive entertainment - making it one of the city’s most exciting dining destinations.
