📍 Leeds LS2 7BR
This has been my go to in Leeds for years now so I thought it only right I leave a review! I can’t not order the mackeral, rice and salad whenever I’m here. It’s just ridiculously good! Super fresh, tasty and light. Just the best!
I eat here regularly but was prompted to review after another great lunch. This place is fantastic. The food is fresh, tasty and cooked in front of you. I usually go for the Mackerel rice box which is a filling meal and great value. The mackerel is delicious, the salad crunchy and the small cup of incredible lentil soup the icing on the cake. Highly recommend.
I really wanted to visit Mr Mackerel after seeing a post on TikTok, so dragged my husband over to try it. I ordered the £7.50 fish sandwich meal which included a grilled mackerel sandwich, chips, and a drink. The mackerel didn’t disappoint, really nice to have fresh grilled fish and was a nice change for lunch. The mackerel itself was delicious and the bread was fresh, and there was a choice of salad to fill it with. My only reservation was that I could have done with a little more filling as the bread:filling ratio was a little off. It was also a little dry for my liking and could have benefited from a bit more sauce. That being said it was really tasty and definitely would recommend giving this place a go at least once. The chips were a bit naff, but not terrible. Definitely a good choice for quick and fresh lunch.
Spotted Mr Mackerel at the Kirkgate Market and had to give it a try. Always love a good bit of fish, and if you name your restaurant after a dish it has to be your best foot forward, right? Luckily that turned out to be the case when they freshly grilled a piece for me and made me a refreshing and clean tasting sandwich that didn't feel too heavy on the stomach. Turn around was about 5 minutes after ordering and seating was ample. Overall great experience!
Highly recommended!!!!! I picked the Mackerel Salad, the smells and tastes of grill mackerel is amazing, very delicious. I will definitely come again.
Fish is fresh, the salad too. What more can you ask. Delicious mackerel sandwich. Market Place eating area is excellent.
Just delicious and friendly to my purse (wallet), you can choose your salad and also you can have some extra sauces like ketchup, sweet chilli, mayonnaise, etc. It takes around 15 minutes to have your food ready.
While mackeral is an option it's their chicken and lamb that seems most popular. Various options are available including wraps, sandwiches, boxed meals with salad and rice (or chips) and so on. I had the lamb and rice box for £6.50 and enjoyed it but I wouldn't consider it to be stand-out compared with the same sort of thing from other vendors nearby. It was very busy so service was a little delayed and seating incredibly limited but it's worth a go if you happen to be in the area.
An absolute hidden gem in Leeds. I opted for the lamb kofta sandwich meal. Oh my it was absolutely delicious. The options of fresh salads, sauces and condiments take the food to the ultimate next level. Seriously rather than paying silly prices for high end restaurants in Leeds city centre visit the market. I paid £6 for the meal. Well worth it the portion was huge. Definitely will visit again. I've been told the chicken shish and rice is also extremely delicious.
