Jerk House in Leeds is tucked away on a side street, but it's got a really cool vibe. The space is small but bright and airy, with lots of colorful artwork on the walls. Looking through their photos online, I noticed they have a nice outdoor seating area too – perfect for warmer evenings. It felt really welcoming and relaxed, not stuffy or pretentious at all.

The menu is focused on Jamaican jerk, obviously, but with some creative twists. They have all the classics – jerk chicken and pork are standouts – but also some interesting sides and other dishes. One photo shows a perfectly plated escovitch fish that looked amazing. I'd definitely recommend trying their plantains; they were perfectly ripe and sweet.

Jerk House is special because it feels authentic without being overly fussy. It's the kind of place you'd go with friends for a casual dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch. The food is delicious, reasonably priced for the quality, and the atmosphere is just right for catching up with people. It's a welcome addition to the Leeds food scene and a great option if you're looking for something beyond the usual chain restaurants.
