Halal chicken, which is perfect when working in central Leeds.
I got the Thursday special (there's a queue system for the specials, you just give your initials and pay), and within 10 ish mins, I had a hot chicken schnitzel sandwich!
£7.90 when you choose to add cheese, hot juicy chicken, and it's kept me full all day, (had a decent amount of salad in too).
My colleague visited the Sesame salad bar opposite and demolished her salad too.
Highly recommend for a healthy, easy and balanced lunch.- Service

It’s Tuesday morning, so I tried the giant special falafel wrap. It was perfect. The place was nice and clean. The staff were very friendly.

The system inside is very hectic and confusing, and it’s so loud and hard to hear the staff but they’re very friendly and the food is delicious! Prices are fair too! I am making my way through their extensive vegetarian sandwich selection but the salad bar looks amazing too!
This was was absolutely buzzing for their daily special. Once you have placed your order expect to wait for a while. You get to watch them freshly make and compile 100s of specials which seems a well oiled machine. After tasting the sandwich you can understand why it's so busy. 10/10, crispy juicy snitzel and full of flavour. Tasty and great value for money.

Very easy to find this hidden gem as the delicious fragrant fresh foods guide you by the nose right to the door! Immediately you are over the threshold you are greeted by warm and welcoming smiles and fabulous smells and vibrant dishes being served. Everything is fresh, well balanced and delicious! From the coffee, to the amazing choice of salads, the schnitzel and falafel, the raspberry and chocolate brownies are irresistible. The portion sizes are generous and the staff cannot do enough to make you feel valued and welcome. A pleasure from start to finish. The big surprise with Sesame is the prices, extremely reasonable! A coffee for £2.20 and a filling lunch from £3.50. Sesame wins our vote! We are both well travelled foodies, eating out frequently, rarely do you find this kind of quality! Can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu! 20/10!Easily the best falafel hands down in Leeds or that I’ve ever eaten. Great service, always friendly and polite. I can’t recommend it enough especially for £3 a portion with mango sauce, even better on special day too 🤤🤤 Sincerely Mr Falafel

First time eating from Sesame and it won't be the last.
I couldn't resist the aroma as I headed out looking for lunch with a difference. The queue was long so I decided that it must be worth the wait and it was.
I ordered a large salad which consisted of rocket, spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, noodles, olives, falafel, hummus, chickpea, new potatoes and tuna. All marinated beautifully to provide me with a very tasty lunch for £5.90.
There are lots of other food items to add to your salad, the choice is yours. They also have a huge selection of sandwiches to choose from all freshly made and a little different from your Tesco cheese and tomato.
Oh... And the staff are so friendly 😊
I definitely recommend this place.Tasty food, good portions, and reasonably priced. You have to queue sometimes but the staff are friendly and efficient. I ate the tuna mayo sandwich on brown bread. It was delicious, flavoursome, and packed with tuna and mixed salad. The seasoning on the tuna mix was delicious.

❤ I would have given 10 stars but there is only five I can give it's amazing clean and tidy, very tastey food and salad. The best staff ever.. very friendly. I will definitely visit whenever I come to or around leeds.
Our everyday breakfast comes from here at work like many others, smoked salmon and double egg sandwiches are my favourite. They also do fresh falafel and hummus starting from 10 am. A good selection of hot and cold drinks available too.
