Bêkas Cafê — Restaurant in Liverpool

Sadly, a very disappointing and unbelievably bad experience today. I ordered two cheese & tomato toasties from the young chap serving. Having waited at least twenty minutes for toasties to go, I prompted the young chap to chase up our order and asking him how much longer we needed to wait. He responded 'one minute', and hurried to the kitchen to convey my message. TEN minutes later, and having now prompted him a few more times, a very rude older lady came out from the back kitchen, holding the two toasties. At this point we had already asked for a refund on multiple occasions, which they flatly refused. I couldn't beleive what was going on. They said our order hadn't taken more than ten minutes, so I demanded they looked at my order time on their fancy till (they didn't give me a receipt) but they simply refused to check the order time. I looked at the toasties they were now forcing me to take, and noticed one of them was burnt. I pointed this out to the now irate older lady. She then picked it uo with her left hand (glove was only on her right hand) and flipped it upside diwn and said 'is this burnt?' to which I answered 'yes its burnt in the middle'. She then became very hysterical and started screaming at me whlst tearing the burnt toastie with its greaseproof paper as if it were a sheet of A4 paper. After this, she stormed of back to the kitchen. The young chap followed her, along with an older chap (probably her husband), who remained silent throughout the ordeal. I was left standing in the middle of the cafe alone with one unwanted toastie (pictured). As waited for someone to come back out. The young chap came out and after consulting with someone in the back kitchen, told me that only a refund for the burnt (and now destroyed) toastie would be given. I took the partial cash refund and left, never to return again. It's very hard to understand how such a nice place can have such good reviews. It really beggars belief. That scornful old lady is a nasty piece of work and will be found out very soon. I seldom leave ONE STAR reviews, but this needed to be written. AVOID...

As a volunteer at a local charity just off London Road, I often find myself exploring the nearby eateries for a quick bite after work. Recently, I stumbled upon Bekas Café, the first Kurdish café in Liverpool, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience that I am eager to share.

From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with a warm welcome, likely from the owners themselves, a charming husband and wife duo. The café was spotlessly clean, exuding an inviting and cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home.

My friend and I decided to indulge in their triangle slices of pistachio baklava with ice cream, and it was nothing short of divine. The baklava was perfectly crisp, generously filled with pistachios, and complemented beautifully by the creamy, rich ice cream. It was a taste of heaven that left us both in awe and eager for more.

What truly set Bekas Café apart, however, was the kindness and genuine care shown by the owners. On the day we visited, there were unfortunate riots expected to happen in the area. The lovely owner approached us and the other patrons, reassuring us that we would be safe and welcome to stay as long as needed if the situation outside escalated. This thoughtful gesture touched our hearts deeply, and we felt an immense sense of gratitude for their concern and hospitality.

Our visit to Bekas Café was not just about the incredible food but also about the warmth and generosity of the people running it. We left with full stomachs and full hearts, promising to return often and spread the word about this beautiful café.

For anyone in Liverpool or passing through, Bekas Café is a must-visit. Support this kind and precious business, and treat yourself to an unforgettable culinary experience. You...

Kurdish Breakfast Experience – A Feast to Remember! 🌄

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a traditional Kurdish breakfast, and I have to say—it was absolutely outstanding!

From the moment the platter arrived, the presentation alone was enough to make your mouth water. Beautifully arranged on a wooden serving board, the breakfast included a delightful mix of fresh and savory items, each adding its own charm to the meal.

🍳 The fried eggs were perfectly cooked, with golden yolks and a touch of seasoning that elevated their flavor. Grilled halloumi-style cheese, slices of sausage, and crispy crinkle-cut fries added a hearty and satisfying touch.

🥒🍅 The freshness of the sliced cucumbers and tomatoes gave a refreshing balance to the rich items, and the small bowls of creamy yogurt, butter, and jam were spot-on. The honey and walnut pairing was a standout—simple, natural, and incredibly delicious.

🫒 Let’s not forget the olives and the small portions of traditional spreads, which added a beautiful range of textures and flavors. Every bite told a story of Kurdish culinary tradition—rich, comforting, and full of love.

The setting was cozy, the table rustic, and the company warm. If you’re looking to start your day with something truly special, a Kurdish breakfast like this is a must. It’s not just food—it’s an experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly...
