Jino’s Thai Cafe

Keeping with the family focus; Malinee (the owner) has brought her son in as head chef.  Typically, the chef will galvanise five main Thai flavours: salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy.

Appetisers

Fire up the taste buds with small bites of spring rolls; patties; satays; soups; and salads.

Mains

Tuck into a range of curries including pad; panaeng; and matsaman.

Street Food

Or nibble on wings; gyoza; dumplings; tofu; and fish balls.

It’s a BYOB (bring your own beer) and there’s no corkage charge!

Jino’s began its journey in 1993 when Chef Malinee moved from Thailand to Leeds with her then husband. It took 10 more years before they had enough funds to open up the café in 2003.

Most recently the café has moved to a new premise – with a small outdoor seating area – on North Lane, still in the heart of Headingley. This was essential to keep up with demand and popularity that’s never really stopped since the noughties.

Despite gaining a kitchen 5 times the size of the old one the business doesn’t want to lose its perspective – its still a café and its still a BYOB… enjoy it!

The most convenient parking spots free but timed, so keep an eye on the clock when you park up at one or the other:

• On the road outside of Jino’s, postcode: LS6 3HP (Google Map Directions)
• Just up  and left from the restaurant on Ash Road, postcode: LS6 3JG (Google Map Directions)

Located in Headingley, just around the corner from the Carnegie Stadium; the best way to travel to Jino’s from the city centre is by First Bus Leeds ( 1, 6, 8, 19, 27 & 91).

You can catch the train from Leeds Station to Headingley, but factor in the 1-kilometre walk from the station to the restaurant entrance.

Once you’ve filled up on the tasy food at Jino’s heat to the Original Oak on Otley Road – it’s got bags of room indoors and a beer garden that hosts live sport on a mahoosive screen!
