Our story

A Headingley Thai cafe with Chiang Mai roots.

Jino's is a family-run cafe shaped by Malinee Brown's move from Chiang Mai to Leeds and the regulars who have kept North Lane busy since 2003.

No. 38 North Lane

Family kitchen

The name comes from Malinee's family name.

Malinee moved from Chiang Mai to Leeds in 1993. When the cafe opened in 2003, the family carried her maiden name into the front door: Jino.

The room stayed deliberately relaxed: fresh food, quick lunches, vegan and vegetarian routes through the menu, and BYOB with no corkage for tables that want to settle in.

What regulars come back for

Proper Thai comfort food, cooked without fuss.

Lunch to late

Weekday plates, student dinners, family meals, and weekend tables all fit the same small-cafe rhythm.

Vegan routes

Separate vegan and vegetarian options make it easier for mixed groups to order together.

Direct ordering

The direct demo keeps Jino's menu, brand, and regular customer flow away from marketplace clutter.

North Lane
