Why Shadwell diners come to Konak Meze

Shadwell sits east of Horsforth, close to Shadwell Main Street and the war memorial. There is plenty of good food nearby, but Turkish cooking over real charcoal is harder to find — which is why guests make the short trip in to Town Street.

Our Horsforth restaurant brings the same kitchen and the same family to Leeds that made Konak Meze a favourite in Harrogate: sharing plates, open flame grills and Turkish hospitality.

  • Cold meze - dips, stuffed vine leaves and salads to share
  • Hot meze - pastries, grilled halloumi, king prawns and more
  • Charcoal grills - lamb, chicken, fish and mixed grills over open flame
  • Ottoman classics such as Ali Nazik and Arnavut Cigeri
  • Turkish wines, raki, cocktails, Turkish tea and coffee
  • Salads and sandwiches served between 12 noon and 4pm

Lunch and set offers

Our meze and two course set offers run alongside the full a la carte menu, which makes an easy midweek reason to come in from Shadwell for lunch or an early dinner. Ask your server for what is on when you arrive.

Getting here from Shadwell

Twenty minutes along the ring road. Town Street is the heart of Horsforth, with on-street parking outside, free car parks nearby and Horsforth station a ten minute walk for anyone travelling from Leeds or Ilkley by train.

Groups, birthdays and celebrations
