Obleas To Go - Leeds Kirkgate Market
If you love discovering unique sweet treats on your travels, Obleas To Go is a fantastic addition to the gluten‑free scene in Leeds. Known for Colombian street‑food classics, it offers a range of naturally gluten‑free savoury items, making it a brilliant option to include on your personal food map of the city.
While not a fully dedicated gluten‑free kitchen, Obleas To Go provides several dishes that are naturally gluten-free, such as:
- Beef or chicken empanadas with a naturally gluten‑free corn shell
- Cheese arepas, made entirely from corn flour and cheese
- Cassava‑based carimañolas, which are naturally gluten‑free and fried until golden and crispy
- Buñuelos (cheese balls) made with cassava flour — another gluten‑free option
According to gluten‑free reviewers, the savoury menu is consistently safe, with community reports confirming a dedicated gluten‑free fryer and that most mains are GF.
Some desserts still contain traditional wheat‑based wafers, but the owners have noted they’re working toward gluten‑free alternatives.
Their savoury dishes pair beautifully with their aguapanela, a Colombian sugar‑cane drink, which you definitely need to try!
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite near Leeds Kirkgate Market or looking for a unique gluten‑free friendly stop, this small spot delivers flavour, authenticity, and convenience.

Delhi Wala Leeds
Delhi Wala is a handy shout for gluten‑free diners thanks to its clearly marked allergens and staff who are happy to talk you through options; we often visit on some of our food tours, and we're always impressed by how the team are able to cater for a range of allergens, including lots ofgluten‑free choices. It isn’t a dedicated GF kitchen, so coeliacs should still discuss cross‑contamination before ordering, but the transparent allergen labelling and knowledgeable staff help you choose safely.

Neon Cactus
For a lively taco stop, Neon Cactus' tacos are gluten‑free, great news, as their tacos are typically corn‑based! We've visited a lot, and would recommend ringing in advance to inform staff of any allergies and they're usually happy to oblige with safety measures to ensure a cross-contamination-free environment.

Fogo de Chão
If you're craving a Brazilian barbecue feast, Fogo de Chão (formerly Fazenda) is a great choice for gluten-free diners. Much of the traditional rodízio experience centres around simply seasoned meats, naturally making many options suitable for those avoiding gluten. We've been SO many times and found the staff to be knowledgeable and accommodating.
Hooyah Burger
If you're on the hunt for a gluten-free burger in Leeds, Hooyah Burgers is well worth a visit. They have a dedicated gluten-free menu, making it easier to enjoy their popular burgers knowing there's no gluten involved.

For classic gluten-free fish and chips, Murgatroyds is a standout. Unlike many fish and chip shops that offer gluten-free batter but cook it in the same oil, Murgatroyds uses separate fryers for its gluten-free options, helping to minimise the risk of cross-contamination. We've been visiting here for years and are always impressed with the quality.
