Charcos

Charco's on Woodhouse Lane specialises in peri-peri and Portuguese-influenced chicken cooking, a distinctive alternative to the curry houses and pizza shops that characterise much of this student-heavy strip. The kitchen is known for whole and half chicken in a range of peri-peri heat levels, alongside wraps, lamb dishes and a popular coleslaw. TripAdvisor and Just Eat reviewers describe tender, flavourful chicken and memorable lamb dishes, though some note variable portion sizes. The Woodhouse Lane location, close to the University of Leeds, puts it within easy ordering distance of student halls and nearby residential streets. A loyal regular base has developed around the chicken range in particular.
