Kings of Gyros, Beeston: Yorkshire restaurant crowned Just Eat’s Restaurant of the Year 2025 out of 500 entries
Just Eat has crowned Kings of Gyros based in Beeston as the winner of its Restaurant of the Year Award 2025.
The Just Eat award honours the best restaurants in the UK and those that consistently offer stand out food, service and local impact.
Within the Restaurant of the Year category, 500 entries were submitted before the list was narrowed down to 10 finalists.
The final decision was made by the public, and after 55,000 people cast their votes, Kings of Gyros took the top spot.
Kings of Gyros blends authentic Greek street food with creative twists and is popular within the Leeds community.
The owner of the restaurant, Keiron Rose, established the business to actively support their neighbourhood, from sponsoring players at Middleton Park FC to donating Easter eggs and raffle prizes for local initiatives.
Their items, including a homemade jerk sauce and their viral ‘Premium Munchbox’, have earned them a loyal customer base and a 4.7 star rating on Just Eat. They also have a five-star food hygiene rating.
Kieron said: “Winning this award is honestly such a proud moment for all of us.
“We started Kings of Gyros with a simple idea: great food and a place the community could rely on.
“To see that hard work pays off, and to feel the support from our customers, is amazing. We love being part of this neighbourhood, and we’ll keep doing everything we can to give back to the people who keep us going.”
Kings of Gyros has also secured £20,000 worth of marketing support as well as the Restaurant of the Year title.
Just Eat will work with the local business to help them continue to grow, expand and face any challenges.
UK independent partner director at Just Eat, Leigh Phillipson, said: “This Award is all about celebrating restaurants that go above and beyond, not just in food and service, but in supporting their local communities.
“Kings of Gyros really stood out in this year’s Restaurant of the Year category. Their consistently high-quality menu has captured people’s attention both online and offline.
“Coupled with their active community work in Leeds, it’s clear why they’ve become such a beloved local favourite. We’re thrilled to gift them this prize and to help support their growth as a business.”
The three runners-up for the award are Sweet Fix located in Manchester, Wonder Bird Co in London and Rumana’s in Birmingham who will receive £5,000 worth of local marketing support.
