Bakchich in Liverpool

I've been to Bakchich many times - everytime I am impressed & amazed. Not only is the food fresh, full of flavour, great value & really big portions, you're always greeted by a smile by Terry (the manager) & really friendly, considerate & attentive staff.The food comes really quickly regardless of how busy the restaurant is & there's not one bad thing I could say about the whole experience.You NEED to visit this restaurant!

Really good food for a good value! Visited twice and was treated really well by a server named Ana. She’s such a sweetheart and makes us laugh every time! Definitely recommend eating here!

amazing food amazing staff! thank you Tasnim, Ana and Bianca! You really made our visit here special and we are actually waiting in your well deserved queue outside to get in again for more of the same as last time! yum!

Visité la semana pasada. Nuestra camarera Rawan fue tan encantadora y servicial.Teníamos la fuente humous / baba ganoush para compartir y una ensalada de salmón y salmón a la parrilla. Toda la comida fue traída rápidamente y estaba deliciosa. El salmón a la parrilla era simplemente hermoso.Las limonadas de rosas estaban muy bien. Noche realmente agradable.

Went for lunch here today. Food was amazing service also fabulous lovely Taz looked after us the whole time

Excellent food, excellent and friendly service. We had a really lovely meal here for a very good price.

I dine here every week and it is a good food experience full of praises.The menu is extensive but for me what I have is my favourite.

A wide range of authentic lebanese cuisine. Good quality and portions. A wide range of starters amd main courses. Good service

Went for lunch, the food was fresh and delicious. Waitresses helpful and very friendly. Will definitely be going again.

Fresh, tasty, crunchy salads Schwarma was so good Great value .......clean toilets too Will go again for sure

Comida bien preparada a buena temperatura, solo unas confusiones con el pedido que puede ser ocasionado por el idioma, excelente atención por Ahlam, quien en todo momento estuvo atenta para nuestra comodidad, precios razonablesTotalmente recomendable

Visited here on a recommendation and I’m so glad I did. The falafel wrap was delicious, clearly honed to perfection and with a vibrant, crunchy salad to compliment. The restaurant itself was clean, and my waitress, Ana, was attentive and chatty. If you can get in for lunchtime, they have some deals on which are the absolute steal. Will be back!

Friendly environment and very quick service. Food was delicious and very well priced. Everyone enjoyed the meal and portion size was generous.

Bakchich, this restaurant is really worth the detour, simple fresh good and cheap ... the welcome is very warm thanks to Ahlam who ensures our well being. Ahlam ensures that everything goes well so that this moment is fully an unforgettable success. Miki

The food is amazing there was that much to choose from we had a selection so we could taste most of it ..the staff are so lovely help you choose you food and then leave and let you be as soon as u need them they are right over.....definitely coming back ...from 2 happy customers

Great food and service by Muna. Highly recommended place for a lunch with friends. A must visit when in Liverpool.

Food was cold and the chicken looked raw service was awful really not nice place no wonder it was dead

Besökte Bakchich för en lunch och tog en mixed-shawarma, som var oerhört prisvärd och god! Trevlig personal med bra service. Kommer definitivt komma tillbaka!

This taste amazing!!! Authentic lebanese food at its finest especially the lamb shawarma. So divine. Please come

Nourriture saine, à prix abordable ; restaurant accueillant, avec les mezzé libanais typiques. Le houmous est top notamment :-)

The service was great just like any other restaurants in Liverpool will be. It was my first time eating Lebanese food and the server nicely gave explanations with pictures of them. The food came out in the right time. I ordered a lamb meat (can't remember the name) with rice and chips. It had a lot of amount so I had a satisfying meal, and it tasted great.

A really warm welcome from Terry, and great lamb chops too! This truly is a great place to eat. The salads are awesome too!

Brilliant 🥙 and great value, will be revisiting in the next few days. 2 meals and 2 drinks for £17,cheaper than it says on there online menu.

Very nice Lebanese restaurant. Food was fresh and tasty. Lots of vegetarian options. Friendly staff and quick service. What’s not to like! No alcohol but that doesn’t bother us. Would definitely go again.

Sat down to the rear of the restaurant. One member of staff was efficient but very very loud! There was one male waiter taking orders. Didn’t look the part/ dressed in jeans and an open neck shirt. When we gave him our order we asked him for a hot plate! He brought it to us...cold! Why say you would do this and NOT do it? When we pointed this out he said that’s how it comes! How hard is it to provide a hot plate? And not provide it when asked ? When we were almost finished our meal we took a menu off the table beside us. The waiter then came over and took it off us saying “have you finished?” Then placed it back on the next table “perfectly in position” HOW RUDE! X

We decided to visit this place with my girlfriend for her birthday at the beginning of November. We went into the restaurant and were welcomed by the greedy woman probably manager judging by her clothes. She was looking at her phone during our whole visit. She only told us to sit wherever we liked but didn't care about us at all. It was very hard to get her attention. However, the food was all lovely due to taste and size.

I've been there a number of times now and the food has been amazing every time. The atmosphere is also very good with very friendly staff and the music is great.

Pre-theatre visit. Was initially put off by another customer eating macDonald’s at a table!

Ordered a variety of meals, food is delicious regardless of meat based or vegetarian option. Terry the manager at bold street branch really looked after us NHS staff. He does an amazing job. Would definitely recommend.

Got a table for 4 no problem. Great menu to choose from Lebanese cuisine. I went for the Lebanese mixed grill which is various kebabs with the flat bread choice and great salad. My family had different burgers which they enjoyed and also lamb chops which were very tasty. The meals a filling.

We booked this ‘blind’ as we were going to the Playhouse. On first appearances we were a bit worried (we being 3 50+ women) as it seemed more kebab shop than street food. But appearances are deceptive as the food was REALLY good. Freshly made and very tasty. Would definitely visit again.

Me and my husband come to see friends in Liverpool we went to bakchich what a wonderful place me and my partner never ate lebensese food excellent mouth watering experience brilliant staff great service well done although I had to wait a long time for the toilet for a non customer who left it in a right state poor guy had to mop and clean the toilet we are from/own a cafe in Cardiff we no how it feels poor chap good service very apologetic don't worry people are rude and horrible sometimes thank you bakchich will come again soon p. S hope they make more toilets for the public ha ha

My friends and I eat at Bakchich several times a month. Food is piping hot and flavorsome. The spices they use are subtle and awaken your taste buds. The ambiance of the restaurant and friendliness of the staff makes the whole dining experience special and great value for money. The vegetable idam (Lebanese Scouse) is fantastic served in a tagline. I love the place. Try it you won't be disappointed. I recently had an accident involving my front teeth and they even mashed the banana on my sweet! Nothing is ever too much trouble. Thank you to everyone at Williamson Square Bachich. From a very grateful Wirral Customer..

Five of us went here for lunch or a Saturday and we all ordered a different dish. We all loved our food which we didn’t have to wait too long for. The staff were professional and pleasant and took time to get explain things to us. We loved the decor and the ambience and this location doesn’t get as busy as Bold Street during the day which suited us. There are also tables and chairs outside.

I have ate here a number of times & decided to take my mum before a trip to the theatre. I ordered a mixed meat shawarma...the waitress told me they had no lamb. To then be corrected that they had 1 piece left. I can only presume the left over piece of lamb has been buried in the back on a fridge somewhere because 6/7 hours later i was ill. Dissapointing considering I have ate here a few times & recommend it to others....

What a find, amazing tasty food and sooo inexpensive, great service, what more is needed, had the Shawarma burger, beautiful combo of food, no need to order any sides etc as it is all on the plate, would definitely visit if back in Liverpool and would 100% recommend. No booze served but the ice cold tap water is free. Great value, give it a try!

wife and myself had an enjoyable meal at the BAKCHICH, staff and service was excellent , will call again when in the city again

We went here on the request of our son who wanted his 21st birthday meal. What a lovely place with lovely staff and fab food! From booking to paying the bill the staff could not be more helpful. Siarah was amazing from beginning to end. Going above and beyond including her singing voice and brush skills getting the helium balloon back off the ceiling thank you for a fab night and we will definately all be visiting again!

Meal portion sizes are very good and very tasty, you can tell everything is fresh. Excellent value and friendly welcoming staff. Would recommend.

I went to the restaurant with my family after watching the parade and the food was amazing hats of to the chef service was amazing the waiter and management was very good esp the waiter was running everywhere busy place would go again and recommend to everyone keep it up guys well done

Been here 3 times now, been served by Dill every time and his service is amazing! Got the falafel wrap (Shame there no mushroom one, bring them back please! Haha) and it was unreal as usual.

I visited here initially as I was seeing a show in the Playhouse Theatre next door. The food was so good I went back the week later! The first time our food came out in minutes which was perfect as we were running late for the show, although we did not tell the staff about this to make it any faster. Both times I've ordered the halloumi wraps as the combination of flavours is unbelievable with the fresh salad, olives and garlic sauce. You can upgrade to a fancier salad and some hummus if you like.

Went for lunch with my fiancé on a Sunday afternoon. The food was so so nice, I had the mixed meze for one and he had a mixed grill. Food was hot, well cooked and delicious. Really enjoyed the meal and the service was really friendly. Experience was ruined a bit because I went to the bathroom and there was no toilet roll, no soap in the dispenser and I stood in chewing gum whilst in there. Explained this to our waiter and he was very apologetic, assuring this would be rectified immediately. Would definitely still go back.

Visited here on a few occasions always been fantastic. Great atmosphere great food great staff especially the waiter dil who always makes sure everyone feels welcome.. Keep up the good work

Excellent customer service especially from Dil Amazing food😍😍😍 Amazing management Grate atmosphere Would advise family’s, couples, just so good in general 👏🏽 Highly recommend ❤️

I have been here several times and i actually never had the time to write something. This place is amazing, I love the music, the atmosphere and the food. I usually pick the vegetarian mezze ad a starter and I share it with everyone. The wraps are super good and you definitely go out from here with your belly super thankful. Ask for the garlic sauce, you won't regret it.

we visited here yesterday on the recommendation of a friend and being vegetarian i decided to try the kids falafel meal as i wasnt very hungry and didnt want a lot of food and the falafel kids meal sounded just right including a drink for a fiver! My husband had a regular portion of food and this arrive quickly and thw food was lovely with a generous helping of fresh hummus. I was annoyed on receiving the bill to see I had been Charged£3 for the orange juice which was included in the offer (states orange or apple juice on the menu) I mentioned this to the waitress and she said no it wasnt included !My husband said leave it but i asked for my money back as it was definitely included on the menu but she refused and turned away.Im writing this because there is a principle involved here whether it be 30 pence or £3 for a watery glass of orange juice!!!We have a food business and I would be very upset if this happened in our restaurant and I wouldnt quibble or refuse a refund and a complimentary drink!!

My husband and I went ate here on the spare of moment. We have been several times before so didn't order a starter as the portions are huge and we never manage to eat the mains. My husband had the mixed meat shwarmer( please excuse the spelling) which was amazing as usual. I had the meat balls and rice, first time ordering this dish and was not disappointed full of flavour and spice. Staff were warm and welcoming as always . Will definitely be returning.

We always said we’d give this place a try when we do the theatre (next door) There was no discount for theatre goers which was a shame. We had starters, one was burnt but the two hummus starters were very good. One main was very good (the King prawns) but mine, ironicallycalled “Imad meats” had no meat!.. just potato and rice.. very dry and bland. The third meal was Ok. Drinks were pricey (Fizzy water, £1.50) Staff were friendly... I did mention that my meal was not very nice, but the staff weren’t that interested.. We will give it one more try

I’ve popped into Bakchich with friends on a few occasions and always received great service and really nice food. Went shopping today and decided to pop in for an early lunch after being round the shops and chose the shakshuka from the breakfast menu as smaller than the fish on the main menu.

Been a few times now and they never let me down!!! :)

The mixed grill, an expensive dish at £15.95 was dry, tasteless and warm. I asked if the meat was fresh or frozen and was told it was fresh - unbelievable. The vegetable Idam was soggy rice mixed with (frozen?) vegetables, all soft and gooey and I got a cardamon pod in my mouth which I think was all the spice in this dish. Perhaps we just chose the wrong dish. I noticed most guests had gone for the burger. Doubt I would ever go back.

17 of us was visiting the royal court to watch Panto, we all just walked in off the street on a Friday night and was happily accommodated. I ordered Lahma Meshawi with rice which was lamb cooked on charcoal which was very nice, I also enjoyed the salad with the pickles £11.95 I also had a small glass bottle of diet coke £1.95. Waitress was very friendly and helped other members of the group that had not ate Lebanese food before choose a meal. Venue was also nicely decorated and clean.

Really amazed to see any poor reviews of this place. Food and service both excellent.

I had lunch in Bakchich while visiting Liverpool for Christmas shopping, I found the food to be very nice and tasty, the staff polite and knowledgeable , the service was excellent.would definitely recommend and visit again.

Horrible experience. Being a street food lovers we found the place on the internet and decided to give it a go. What a mistake. Food was horrible. The only plus goes to garlic mayo and tahini which was amazing.. everything else was nothing close to Middle Eastern food. Pickles were soggy and under salted. But the biggest disappointment was chicken shawarma. It tastes as if chicken started to go off and they over marinated it and over cooked. It was discussing and inedible. Not to mentioned gave upset stomach to some of us. Very very disappointing visit!

I love the food here and we come a lot! We also like to order at the weekend for delivery and it's just as good! Brilliant for value of money and taste.

Big let down, Shawarma and service is horrible! Lots of other Mediterranean/ middle eastern options nearby

First time I have had Lebanese food. Well it was a Lebanese chip butty so probably a bit of a cheat to say I had Lebanese. But non the less it was very tasty and just spicy enough. The salad was really nice and fresh. I must say I really enjoyed it. The staff were all very helpful all in all I was very pleased. I will certainly call back and would recommend the Bakchich which certainly lived up to its name

Clean, friendly staff and great food with good prices. Definitely recommend. Love the chicken wraps! And strawberry alcoholic free cocktail, overall a great place to visit. Also clean toilets Which is great.

The place is a mess the restaurant looks like it needs a good clean the floors are black with dirt the toilets are a disgrace . We ordered are food and it come quite quickly the problem was with the girl who took the order she just wasn't intrested and she took the order wrong and one of are party never got his meal until we had all finished ours he had to wait for his to be made no apology was given and the drink order was wrong the food was ok but meal was spoilt .

I enjoyed my tasty Vegetarian Mezze, but the impression of the restaurant was spoiled when I nipped to use the disabled toilet. Its always a worry when the public areas are not clean as it always makes me wonder what the kitchen is like! It needs a good scrub with bleach especially around the grout and tiles as its very neglected. If I go back- I will check the loos out before I eat. Such a shame as otherwise I would have had more good things to say.

After a tiring day watching the giants, we decided to pop in here en route home.

Wandering around Liverpool city centre, on Sunday lunch time and seen this place and thought why not, as I’ve never tried Lebanese food before! What a pleasant surprise! I opted for Sweet potatoe falafel for starters from the hot mezze menu, then meatball tagine with rice for my main! The food was excellent, very tasty, and enough for a hungry wanderer with a good appetite! The decor is quirky and unusual, but great all the same. Service and value for money was really good too. All in all, a great place to try and I will definitely be going back at some time.

Was visiting Liverpool for the day and stopped in for a quick meal before train home.

Been to their older premise in Bold Street, but wasn’t aware of this new place until we stumbled across it yesterday. Opens at 11am, which was good, as we were ready to eat at 1115 am! I chose the- mini- mezzos, which, despite the name, was more than I could handle! Mixed chicken and lamb shawarma, hummus, baba goush, kibbitz(?) and falafel, along with Arab bread. My wife had the chicken shawarma, which came with salad and bread and chips. She managed to clean her plate! With drinks, change from a £20 note! I always fancied going to the Lebanon, but it seems to have been in turmoil for the last 40+ years, so glad Lebanon has come to me instead!

Meal was generous, quality of meat variable. Meat-cubes were tasty but, not the minced meat/chicken kebabs or chicken-cubes (shish tawuk). Service was friendly. Music was loud.

Very nice choice of salads and main meals and everything looked healthy. No problem with choices if you are vegetarian. Simple but very good value for money.

I have been to this restaurant four times In my opinion they serve the best falafel The prices are reasonable and they offer students discount Even though I don’t like the hummus with the shawarma, I would definitely eat here again

I came here with my son and partner. The service was good and friendly. However, having eaten in other Lebanese restaurants I was disappointed

The service was quick and friendly, the food was delicious, portions were huge for the price of the food which was cheap. Would definitely go back!

Went for a meal here with my friend and both of us enjoyed our absolutely delicious meal. If you want to try authentic Arab food this is definitely the place to go to. I ordered chicken and the flavour was beautiful and it was cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly and polite, always with a smile on their face. The service in terms of the waiting time etc was also great. I’m definitely coming back here again and this time with more people. Thank you to all of the staff who made our first visit here amazing.

Nice fresh food, huge pizza for a child and given a nice tub and cutlery to take half home. Really friendly staff, very clean, nice atmosphere. Salad was good and the frozen yogurt was delicious. Authentic Lebanese menu. Really impressed. Will be back

vers bereid, goed kruidenspel, zeer vriendelijke en vlotte bediening, een aanrader; mooi interieur en goedkoop

The food is very nice and the staff very friendly and helpful. Lebanese style food but the menu can appear daunting but the staff will help you to food nirvana. Be aware that there is no alcohol drinks here but a selection of superb drinks to accompany your meal.

We love Lebanese food and since moving back to the North West we have struggled to find anything like we've had before. The food here was amazing. I had the mixed platter which came with fries, salad and bread. The garlic sauce is great too.

Stopped by for lunch on Saturday afternoon.

Can’t recommend this place enough! Been three times and I don’t even live in Liverpool! I love cooking and my parents are Arabic so its great to see a real lebanese restaurant with a definite street food feel. All staff are always friendly and welcoming, Oli from bolton was extremely helpful! Just wish they had one near my house!

We passed this restaurant and decided to give it a try we are so glad we did. The menu had a great selection for meat lovers and vegetarians. We shared a veggie mezze and meat mezze between three for a starter, there was loads, we struggled to finish that and our mains. The veggie in the group loved her main of Bourkouri Halloumi. The meal was excellent value for money.

Visiting the city for a day we stopped at the restaurant for lunch as we had not tried Lebanese food before and the outside seating area on a hot sunny day was inviting. The lunch specials were well priced and generous. We enjoyed it very much, especially the shawarma. The kids menu is also very good value, although I couldn’t persuade my daughter to eat the hummus.

We were going to the Playhouse next door and got into town early with the intention of picking up the tickets and having a meal. Saturday evening it was raining heavily, walked from the station and collected tickets. By default, because of the weather, we went into Bakchich. We were immediately met at the door by Oliver and shown to a table, given menus and he went away. After about 10 minutes, after having studied the menu the waitress approached asked us for our choices and also took our drinks order. She was very pleasant and helpful. Drinks arrived very quickly, good. The food arrived in a comparatively short time, and the presentation was good. We ordered the Shish Taouk and Lahma Meshawi. Started to eat and was immediately impressed. the chicken and lamb was grilled to perfection and the Arabic rice was also pleasant. In fact we could not fault the meal at all. Staff were attentive and asked if all was ok. Again spoke to Oliver who was from Bolton and explained they had been open for about eight months, again a very pleasant person. We also were approached by a young lady who introduced herself as Gaia, who asked us how we were liking the food, again we could only compliment on it. She explained she was from Italian parentage, and had been in the hospitality industry for a number of years and enjoyed it. Had worked in London and other locations, but had a liking for Liverpool. She said that she hoped to one day have her own establishment. All I can say we will go back and we wish them both well for the future.

went there wednesday about 1.30pm about 6 tables had people so was quiet we say down nobody came to serve so we went to the counter and they said it table service after another 5 min someone came over to take the order we ordered one mix shwama and one chicken after more waitin they brought the mix shwama and pice chicken on the bone which was wrong order he tried to tell use thats what we ordered in the end he took it away came back with the tiny bit of shwama quarter pice of torttia it was just total discusting and just a total waste of 25 pound the service 0 and the food a salty 0 too think you need to be drunk to eat there and enjoy

Came here for lunch on a busy Saturday. Had to wait for a table but they seated me promptly and took my order almost immediately.

We normally go to the other Bakchich on Bold St but the food here was just as good. The service was attentive. Definitely recommend the food here.

An extremely unpleasant dining experience. Waited 20 minutes for a table. Our order was taken quickly but we were then left for half an hour waiting for our food, watching other diners who had arrived after us get their meals, eat and leave. The food finally arrived with no apology. When I asked why it had taken so long the staff member said that the restaurant was very busy. It was only half full! The food was cold and not the best. Very disappointing. There are better places to eat nearby .

Love this place, love the vibe, adore the food, quirky yummy food and fab coffee, whether you are a vegetarian or a meat eater it caters for all, my partner is a veggie and I am a meat eater and we both love it here in equal measure.

I was staying in a nearby hotel on my recent trip to Liverpool to see the terracotta army exhibit. I did not fancy going to the usually chains eg Nandos or Five Guys so I thought I would try this restaurant. I have never heard of them before and don't know a lot about Lebanese food but I found the staff to be friendly and polite and I was served very quickly. I had the chicken shawarma platter and whilst the fries were a tad underwhelming, the salad with the pickled vegetables was really nice and I could have just had that with the chicken plus the lovely Arabic bread. Also an interesting range of drinks, the waitress recommended the pomegranate and orange blossom lemonade which was very great.

We ordered the chicken shish taouk and it was honestly the best I have tried. Juicy, with lots of flavor. I don't know if I was lucky, but if everything else on the menu is this good, you should eat here.

Being in Liverpool for a weekend, we enjoyed so much the dinner on the night before at the Bold Street restaurant that we wanted to go try other food from the same chain. The vibe is similar but as it was lunch on Sunday and in a different location there were fewer people, which is not a bad thing! Food was to the same standard although the one on Bold street seemed to have a more authentic feel - even though it is a chain ;)

First time visiting this branch normally use Bold Street.

My friend and I really enjoyed dinner in Bakchich. We both have been to their Bold Street branch before, and this one has a calmer vibe. We both had the vegetarian moussaka with rice, which was really delicious. Also had the kibbeh shamiya lamb parcels which were tasty, and my friend had the yummy coconut cheesecake for afters. Friendly and prompt service, relaxed atmosphere, really liked it and will happily return. Good value for money too.

Bakchich is my go-to if I’m ever feeling hungry when I’m in Liverpool. Pleased to see the new restaurant in Williamson Square doing so well. Everytime I visit, the service from the staff is exceptional, especially from the man in the suit. He is very welcoming and recommends the most delicious things on the menu for me and my friends. The decor in the restaurant is beautiful and there is always a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is in the city.

I always either come here alone or with my partner. The food is tasty and the juices compliment the meals extremely well. The staff, particularly the manager are always accomodating and friendly and are willing the explain the menu to me because I don't have a clue what the majority of it is. You get large portions for the price and so far I haven't tasted anything I dislike.

I am already a big fan and frequent visitor to Bakchich on Bold Street, so thought we try the new one on Williamson Square and it is every bit as good. Friendly and polite staff, clean and lovely inside, nice menu choice and everything is good, nay...Great. So much meat on the platters too and always leave there feeling full and happy. Perfect place to people watch...and what's more, always super reasonable on price.

Great meal, ordered mixed kebab to share, along with side dishes, plus a lamb burger and chicken kebab for the younger end of the family. There was plenty of food for everyone to enjoy, very tasty meat, and well-cooked.

Lovely food and good service. A little slow with service at start of meal but once we were served food came quickly and service was good. Excellent price for meal.

Popped in to Bakchich while I was doing a spot of shopping, excellent service. I ordered the meat mezze and the manager was brilliant. He guided me through the menu and his knowledge of the menu was very helpful. Food was delicious and have since been back multiple times. Special thanks to the manager Oliver, outstanding service, made me feel very welcome.

Best shawarma I've ever had in Liverpool....staff made me feel very welcome too, especially the manager!

Only popped in for coffee, prompt service . Tried the Arabic coffee, made a nice change. Decent prices too. Worth a try

Had the meze's and was very tasty and a nice change from the normal lunches we usually have. Got there around midday and it was quiet so food was served quickly also
