Cafe Passion — Restaurant in Calderdale

We had an exceptional dining experience at Cafe Passion. We were greeted in a friendly manner and we were not rushed to make decisions as to drinks and food. I highly recommend the high octane but not at all bitter Turkish coffee. My veggie partner ordered the Yaprak Sarma, a cold dish. He said it was the best dish wrapped in vine leaves he'd ever had. I had a taste and then another taste and another. I had the Mantar, and it was a feast for the senses as the aroma of the dish was as gorgeous as the taste. The accompanying pitta was very light and rich. We agreed it was the best we've ever had. My partner loved the Mantar too, and ate the rest of the creamy sauce with a spoon! For our mains I had the Lamb Shish Kebab and my partner had the Halloumi Kebab. Both were absolutely delicious, grilled to perfection and subtly spiced. My lamb melted in the mouth! The accompanying salad had flavour bombs and textures that made them a delicious part of the meal, not just a side. The Bulghar rice was fluffy and subtly flavoured. We also loved the yoghurt and salsa sides which added texture and taste without overpowering the main meals. We ate every bite! Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert! We will definitely return to Cafe Passion and highly recommend it for the delicious authentic Turkish cuisine and friendly staff who are happy to serve you and give you a superb dining experience. Best wishes to all at Cafe Passion with appreciation,...

Sadly, although lovely food, my dish was a mix of two (probably due to one man doing everything except the cooking). Ordered the salmon and prawn tagliatelle with a dill sauce. Was asked if penne pasta would be OK if no tagliatelle available. I agreed, assuming I'd still get the dill sauce ...unfortunately was told "chef must have got confused" when I queried the penne pasta in a creamy tomato sauce (the vege option). Still got the lovely salmon and prawns but also alot of mushrooms ....I have an intolerance to mushrooms and would be ill. Thank goodness I noticed. Although I declined a fresh plate (would have made us late for Theatre) there was no adjustment to bill, no offer of extra drink in compensation, in fact we realised afterwards we'd been overcharged by almost £4. Too late to go back, on our way to the...

I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful ‘family run restaurant’ and what an experience it was!

I chose the Köfte, Kebab from the grill.

Everything looked beautiful and tasted even better so fresh, authentic, and full of flavor.

The atmosphere was cozy and full of heart. You can truly feel the love and spirit of the place, as it’s run by a family who treats their guests like part of their own. They are so welcoming and warm, making the whole experience even more special.

To finish the meal, I enjoyed traditional Turkish tea and Baklava, the perfect sweet ending to a delicious meal.

Thank you to the owner and everyone working there for such wonderful hospitality.

I truly enjoyed every moment...
