A brand new Greek street food eatery has opened its doors in Leeds.
That Ziki is an independent Greek food business founded by two brothers, Jack and Luke, in 2021. The business partners opened an eatery in Fallowfield, Manchester, and have been applauded for their "super" and "quality" food at "good prices", according to Trip Advisor.
On February 23, That Ziki expanded its wings and opened a new venue in Wortley, Leeds, in the LS12 area. The Leeds That Ziki is delivery only for the time being, serving from Tuesday to Sunday every week.

The owners announced the opening of the Leeds venue last month, and said: "Leeds - get ready to get your Greek on. Our grills will be firing from February 23." Customers can choose from a selection of Greek Gyros on the menu, including chicken, pork, mixed meat, halloumi, and vegan.
Hummus, halloumi, tzatziki sauce, house sauce, siracha chilli, and sriracha mayo can be added. The Gyros at That Ziki are priced at £6.
Sharing their journey, owner Jack said: "That Ziki was started by me and my (not so) little brother Luke in January 2022. We were tired of the 9-5 life and fancied something different.
"So, with 0 years in the catering business, a self confessed home chef, and a now ex IT consultant, used our savings to buy a food truck. There were many moments when we thought, what the hell are we doing? Particularly when we were trying to flog gyros from our van on a pitch black bit of wasteland in Worsley. However, it actually went really really well. The local area became obsessed, we had huge queues and sold out pretty much every day.
"After realising we were actually quite good at this selling food lark, we moved into our first kitchen takeover in July, we then purchased our very first store on the high street in Chorlton and in Feb 2023, we opened a delivery kitchen in Leeds. The dedication from our That Ziki teams at each site and of course the help from our family and friends when we needed them.
"We can’t wait to open more and more That Ziki's across the country and bring our food to more and more people." Many rushed to social media to share their excitement about the Leeds venue.
Bella Longlock said: "Omg there's one in Leeds." Tracey Seddon added: "Well done Jack and Luke! Good luck!" Paula said she and her friends "need to try this after a couple of glasses of wine". That Ziki can be ordered via Uber Eats and Deliveroo.
