House of Koko is an independent neighbourhood restaurant in the heart of Leeds city centre, serving brunch and all-day dishes inspired by Middle Eastern flavours. Family friendly and relaxed, it’s equally suited to everything from weekday brunches and business lunches to evening meals and celebrations with friends. Fresh ingredients, bold flavours and warm hospitality are at the heart of the experience, creating a welcoming destination throughout the day.
Large floor-to-ceiling windows flood the restaurant with natural light, while window seating provides the perfect place to watch Leeds city life unfold. Touches of greenery soften the modern interiors, creating a welcoming neighbourhood space that’s equally suited to a quick coffee, leisurely brunch or relaxed evening meal. Outside, the restaurant’s elegant black frontage with crisp white signage gives it an elegant presence in the city centre. Inside, leather booth seating, colourful artwork and contemporary statement lighting create a stylish ambiance.
The menu reimagines brunch favourites with Middle Eastern influences. Signature dishes include the Koko Shak with basil and pea shakshuka, labneh, za’atar feta and Aleppo honey, alongside Turkish eggs, Batata Harra Hash and braised butter beans with muhammara, zhoug and walnut dukkah. Heartier options include steak and eggs, Koko fried chicken with harissa maple glaze, a full Koko fry-up and brioche breakfast butties, while classic eggs Benedict are given a twist with toppings such as shawarma-spiced lamb or wild mushrooms. American-style pancakes, loaded hash browns and seasonal salads complete the menu, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available throughout.
Coffee is a particular highlight, with everything from expertly brewed flat whites and cortados to matcha, chai, turmeric and beetroot lattes, alongside speciality teas, smoothies and fresh juices. For those visiting later in the day, cocktails including Espresso Martinis, Bloody Marys, Aperol Spritzes and Koko Mimosas sit alongside beers, wines and Prosecco.
