Dutch Pot

Dutch Pot on Chapeltown Road is one of the area's best-known Caribbean eateries, rooted in the community that made Chapeltown a centre of Jamaican and West Indian culture in Leeds. The kitchen specialises in jerk chicken, curried goat, oxtail, stew peas, saltfish fritters and fried dumplings — dishes cooked in the Dutch Pot tradition of slow, deep flavour. Plantain, rice and peas and festival dumplings accompany the mains. Reviewers on Restaurantji and Wanderlog consistently cite the vibrant portions and the authenticity of the cooking. Open seven days, with extended hours on weekends, it serves both the sit-in and takeaway trade on one of Leeds's most culturally distinctive roads.
