“There’s a new café in town.” These words are always well-received in our office, so off I went in search of it.

Deli Chez is on busy Leeds Road, vying for attention among rows of other eateries.

Spicy Corner

Zouk tea bar & grill 1312 Leeds Road, Bradford Tel. (01274) 258025 Imaginatively-lit, Zouk tea bar and grill appears to be a magnet for passers-by on Bradford's Leeds Road. It always seems busy and I have intended to stop many a time, but worried about the possible wait for a take-away. This time I rang in advance.
