Our Story

A Mediterranean Dining Experience in Leeds

Calilo was created around a simple idea: good food should bring people together. Based in Woodlesford, Leeds, we serve Greek and Mediterranean-inspired dishes in a warm, relaxed setting where flavour, hospitality and atmosphere all matter.

Our menu celebrates bold ingredients, generous plates and the comfort of shared dining. From fresh mezze and grilled kebabs to gyros, signature dishes and indulgent desserts, every part of the Calilo experience is designed to feel welcoming, enjoyable and memorable.

At Calilo, food is more than a meal. It is a reason to gather, slow down and enjoy time with the people around you.

We take inspiration from Greek and Mediterranean cooking, combining traditional flavours with a modern restaurant experience. Fresh ingredients, carefully prepared dishes and friendly service help us create a place where guests can return again and again.
