If, like me, you ever struggle to choose between about three sandwhich options then you may be liable to be frozen in cant-decide panic at the endless choices presented to you by Abu Bakar! Even the halva section appears to be never ending! They sell a wide selection of vegetables, a broad variety of juices, endless rows of pulses, spices, herbs, cakes, bread, jars of pickled items, huge sacks of rice and flour - possibly aimed at businesses but may be handy if you live in a big house, loads of condiments (including some very mysterious and tantalising items such as a pot of chololate and cherry something...spread?...whose ingredients list was in Polish only). Homeware-wise they have pots, pans, crockery and kitchen utensils. There is also a halal meat counter. As Susan mentions, Abu Bakar is aimed at the Aisian community, but for anyone like me with boringly British culinary habits it is a fascinating and exciting place of endless possibilities and obscure and intriguing ingredients.

Sitting somewhere between supermarket and corner shop, Abubakar is aimed mostly at the Asian…read morecommunity, with a large selection of Halal meats and more exotic fruits and spices, but it's also a popular spot with local residents and students looking to stock up. They often have good deals on fresh fruit like mangoes, and you can pick up all the ingredients you could possibly need to cook a decent curry from scratch. The staff are really helpful, and the nearby parking means it's ideal if you need to do a large shop but don't want to do the supermarket run. Worth stopping by to check out the huge range of exotic fruit juices - hangover heaven.

This is a medium sized branch of Morrisons and one of the better options for a super market in…read moreLeeds city centre. Most of the facilities you'd expect from a supermarket of this size are available, including butchers, bakers, fishmongers, deli counter, and so on. The branch is large enough to house a certain amount of home ware and some clothing as well as a section for magazines, books, DVDs and games. Perhaps because of the slightly strange shape of the store, the alcohol section is accessed separately with its own entrance and set of checkouts. I suspect this probably makes things slightly more efficient. Staff are generally helpful and friendly, although the store is well enough laid out that I haven't often needed help to find things. The only thing the store is really lacking is a cafe, but given that it's located in the city centre and within a shopping centre this isn't really much of a loss.

This Morrisons has a lot of good points. It stocks a decent range of products, including 'Free…read moreFrom' stuff, and it's got a good homewares section. The main downside is that it's incredibly busy at peak times, which unfortunately, is when I want to go - at lunchtimes or just after work. It's also quite tired and lacks a customer toilet. The booze section is kept seperate from the main part of the supermarket, which is convenient if you just want to nip in and grab a bottle of something for a tipple after work, but on the flipside it's quite annoying when they have offers on that require you to spend £x in one transaction and they won't honour the two purchases across two tills, even though if you had exactly the same trolley of shopping at a supermarket with a booze aisle instead you'd have qualified. Anyway, needs must, so I'll continue as a regular customer, it's really handy for work, and stocks a great range which puts it ahead of your 'Express' and 'Metro' type stores in the city centre.

The shop is well stocked and laid out with fresh counted for fish, meat, cheese and cakes.

The quick pay service and the free newspaper for myWaitrose members is an added bonus.

This branch of Sainsbury's is a fairly decent size store, although it isn't the size of a large…read moresupermarket you can do a weekly shop, it is okay while you are in the Leeds city center, being on The Headrow next to the St John's centre. Inside it is a typical Sainsbury's, albeit a little old fashioned and in a way their is so much empty space, especially at the self-service and manned checkouts, where there is so much space wasted, so the range could be much improved. There was a decent yet small selection of most things, so if you are looking for some essentials odds are you probably are going to have to settle, for example you might not be able to get your favorite flavor or brand of crisps, drinks or chocolate bar for example. The staff didn't seem too helpful, they did come to the checkout when I needed them to approve my transaction, the checkouts could have been kept tidier, to keep rubbish such as receipts away, rather than cluttering the space. Overall, this is a decent place to call in while in Leeds center looking for essentials, but could be much improved and without a huge amount of similar competition nearby, it doesn't seem to be eager to compete, with the nearest alternative supermarket being a large Morrisons store which is a place to do your weekly shop, rather than call in to get essentials, which works out a hassle in a way, while comparing this store and considering its' location I feel two stars is fair.

I was actually really giddy when Sainsbury's appeared smack bang in the centre. I'm not really a…read moresupermarket snob, but sometimes, Sainsbury's just produces stuff that really hits the spot and tastes just lovely. It's a rarity when you prefer the home brand stuff to the actual branded products. And for me the Sainsbury's brand seems to do this rather nicely, especially the Taste the Difference range...can anyone say quad chocolate cookies? yum!! The central location makes it nice and easy for those folk out there who don't and can't drive to access all their groceries and get on to public transport route home, without too much hassle. Technically it's a supermarket, but to me it's more the size of a large Sainsbury's Local. That's not to say there isn't plenty of good ole Sainsbury's merch going on in there. There's even a coffee baked pastries section, along with the cigarette and newspaper kiosk, fresh meats and breads/bakery, crisps, chocolate, food in jars aisles too. But my new favourite novelty has to be the self serving tills. They still excite me. But aside from being super fun, they're incredibly practical, as the queues often get quite large in here, but they don't last too long due to the many self checkouts. The only thing I can find fault with this Sainsbury's is that the staff always seem harrassed, and maybe they are, but suck it up dudes, put a smile on your face, they always look shocked or put out when you ask them where something is, and there's a look of 'how am I supposed to know' about their chops. Aside from that little blip, it's grand.

They have huge sacks of potatoes, onions and rice for sale - great if you're running a food business or just live in a house with many other people. I have a feeling the 'organic eastern foods' referred to on the sign are probably in packets on shelves inside and probably doesn't include the veg as you'd think it would be labeled as such. In this 'outdoor' section they also have frozen foods. Inside is a well-stocked grocer's selling a wide variety of products of 'Eastern' origin including shelves stacked high with large bags of grains and pulses, and a variety of herbs and spices. They also have many items you'd expect in your average Leeds grocer. This shop is off the beaten track if you're only familiar with Leeds city centre and the areas nearby but for locals it must be brilliant to have such a well-stocked shop with such variety within walking distance.

Miles away from anyone who might think it was worth paying a quid for a mango, this shop instead sells good quality, organic (although this is not clearly labelled) fresh fruit and veg at very reasonable prices, ensuring there's always a crowd of locals peering into the assembled boxes and crates to see what's in today. Good for those hard-to-find ingredients or just if you fancy trying something different, just be prepared to wait to get served or face doing battle with some formidable looking pensioners for first place in the queue.

The queues are a bit of a hassle; I agree with Chris in that there's quite a pressure to get your goods packed up and out of the way in Superman-like speeds (which I always fail) but other than that it's grand. Staff have plenty of banter too, which is always a boon. P.s. Debit card only.
