Absolutely one of my favourite places to have some coffee and dessert. I came around tea time so it’s not that crowded. Price is reasonable, it’s around 3£-4£ for their cheese and mushroom toast; 2.5£-4£ for their coffee; and 2£-4£ for their pastries. Other than that, the portion is quite huge and the atmosphere is perfect for people to chill and chat. The owners are friendly and nice too! Highly recommended.

I fell in love with this little place. It was recommended by a friend, and although off my 'beaten track', it was well worth the visit. The atmosphere was warm, inviting and homely. The proprietress was friendly and the toilets (as well as everywhere else) were lovely and clean.

Exceptionally good. A welcome respite and oasis from the fast food anathema nearby. The Kurdish breakfast is a delight I can highly recommend. Lots of other options, many reflecting the proprietor’s heritage. The ladies at the counter are lovely and have a demeanour rarely found in cafes and restaurants these days. Do visit, you’ll not be disappointed. Spas.

This was nice to find a local non-chain place with nice food and coffee - a mix of Kurdish and British options. The staff didn’t seem pleased to see anyone and didn’t say much though. The atmosphere was fine. Although the disco-flashing security cameras were a bit bright for early in the morning.

After a long journey and a bus on diversion I needed to chill but was refused to be served, the staff lady, quickly put a reversed lable on the table that was free. I had two toddlers and got shouted at for getting a child seat so I can manage my child while ordering. A customer seated came to order, and the staff lady apologised to the customer for being busy while looking at me briefly. I eventually ordered a hot drink and a bakery, which was placed in a take away cup, giving the impression that I should get out. I asked to use the bathroom and was told it’s locked so I waited as someone else also needed to use the bathroom. While the hot drink was made she eventually agreed to let me use the toilet to which she exclaimed I don’t want mess! I thanked the lady with a smile after leaving but the whole time had her head down very cold. I could not enjoy what I ordered. Overall the cafe is clean but service deserves a 0 star.

If you are visiting Liverpool and fancy some porridge for breakfast, then you absolutely have to go to Bekas Café, on London road. I have to come to Liverpool to visit my mum every few weeks, so I like to try different cafes for breakfast, and porridge is my favourite in the morning. Now I can whole heartedly say that the porridge with frozen fruits and honey is the best I have ever been presented with in any cafe I have visited. It looks so pretty , and tastes amazing. And it's great value for money. After seeing people eating the vegetarian Kurdish breakfast, I wish my appetite was bigger, as it too, looks amazing. All round, Bekas Café is a fabulous place to eat excellent food, and the staff are wonderful.

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 won't regret it!

Hidden among the hustle and bustle of London Road sits a small, unassuming Kurdish cafe which far surpasses its equivalents on taste, quality, freshness, portion sizes, pricing and services. It’s the hidden gem (or perhaps a local legend?) of the area. I once brought a friend here who had been subsisting on a ‘student diet’ for months and for about a tenner they were able to get nourishing food, probably saving them from falling sick! Whenever I want to feel cared for and loved, I come here. If you have a child studying at one of the universities in the area, I would recommend urging them to come here once a week and order their Kurdish breakfast to catch up on their vitamins and minerals and whatnot. Like I am not joking. I do miss the halva they used to have in the breakfast and the bread is better the earlier you go but even after whatever has happened to the economy and with so many things closing down, or establishments cutting back on quality and quantity, Bekas cafe’s Kurdish breakfast still remains A++ I hope they never change!!

Decided to eat here on New Years Day evening we booked a table for 7pm. On arrival the place was heaving and very busy but our table was there waiting for us. The waiting staff are young but friendly some more experienced than others but very helpful. We all chose just to have mains me having the Mixed Kebab and Ange having the stuffed vine leaves. As the want these days the standard question is any allegies and they were told cucumber as eating it gives my wife crippling tummy. The food came nicely presented and smelt great the young waiter presented my wifes to her and said vine leaves no cucumber and went to get the others. On his return we said was it right the vine leaves with no cucumber he said yes thats what we had ordered so why was there a cucumber bed that the sauce was sat on. He was mortified offered to take away and change her dish. We laughed and said no she just removed the cucumber. All food was large portions very tasty and good value. Recommend Yes and will we go back defo

We visited on a August Bank hol Monday, early evening. That day, they only had an open buffet on. It does have a regular menu but I think it may just be open buffet for the period of Ramadan? I was chatting to the owner and he explained it was quiet during the day until most regulars turn up late. But when the restaurant is running before and after Ramadan, I'm not sure how busy it gets or what the regular menu is like! However, for our £8.99 set price each we had a fantastic meal. A drink is included (soft drink only, not sure if they allow BYO). There was a top lentil soup, then the chef explained the rest. Too much to list, but just classic, homemade middle eastern food. Tzatziki, hummus, salads, beans, and then for main there was an okra stew (fab), a plain but tasty rice, rice with beef and herbs, and chicken with rice. We made lots of visits back up to the buffet for more. One thing we'd have loved was bread, but we couldn't see any. However I think a party of four who came in later asked and got some naan type. For desert there was a typical tasty but calorific baklava type - ace. It's a bit ad hoc in there and it's a real local feel, help yourself, cling film on the plates of food - I can imagine some people more used to being nannied in Nando's would feel uncomfortable. But the place is great and I hope it gets local support (the decor and music are actually very classy by the way, it's not scruffy). Highly recommended, and would be good to know what the lunch time/a la carte experience is like.
