Cafe Passion in Calderdale

Finally got round to visiting Cafe Passion and was not disappointed. Amazing food & friendly service. We will be back!

Absolutely love it here. It's usually quiet so don't need to book. The food is amazing, everything we've tried over the last couple of years has always blown us away. If I'm Halifax for food it's a must visit.

Don’t go based on the prices of their menu because you will shock when you pay. The real price is double Not recommended

Pide was very tasty and filling, but definitely not traditional Turkish pide.

Went here for my 60th birthday meal with family. Been here before for my son's 40th and again the meals we all ordered was cooked to perfection. So much in each meal ordered that was well worth the price. The restaurant is very clean and the service we got was brilliant so thank you for that. Will be back again. Thank you Bernadette

I've been told it's a great place, but I wouldn't go that far! OK, but nothing special. Passable for quick and convenient food..

This is a nice little cafe in the middle of Halifax, with seating downstairs and upstairs. There are a couple of small car parks nearby. We were greeted warmly and shown to our table and the service was friendly throughout the evening. The food was freshly cooked to order, good portions and very tasty. The evening menu is restaurant priced, although sadly the evening menu is not available to view online in advance. The bill at the end was exactly right, correct to the prices shown on the evening menu, and shows the VAT if anyone needs it for business etc. It’s cash only. Apparently the card machine is ‘broken’ ( they rang us the day before to tell us). The drinks were a little expensive (e.g. a coke is £3.50 and they literally hand you a can of coke! They automatically add on a 10% service charge to the bill. It was busy when we were there on a Saturday evening, with dine in and takeaway, and as it’s a small kitchen everything quite took a while. But overall it was a great evening, with nice food and friendly staff and we would visit again.

Went here as a couple. Food is good, but prices shown on menu EXCLUDE VAT. Now I’m sure it will say this in small print somewhere, but 2 main courses (no pittas) and 2 drinks was £51 !! Absolute rip off

Lovely food and attentive staff

I ordered a steak with chips to eat in, on arrival my food was packed in a take out box which I wasn’t happy with. I said I informed them I was eating in and with poor attitude my food was thrown onto a plate and then was told after eating I will not be allowed back at the premises for no reason. I didn’t finish my tough overcooked ‘medium’ steak with my cold fries due to the disrespect and was asked to leave by irate staff. Would NOT recommend this place…AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND NO MANNERS

Fantastic food and quick service! :)

Great fresh tasty food, we will definitely be back soon.

I was blown away by this place. From the outside it looks like a small cafe, but it's like the tardis and is deceptively large, and also busy inside. So nice to see a restaurant that's busy, and it is easy to see why. The menu has so many options, and they somehow feel healthy. Massive portions, and so so tasty. Had a beautiful Turkish coffee, halloumi kebab, and hummus, and every bite was just perfect. Staff were very attentive, and prices are more than reasonable.

Just been for lunch as a group of 10 on our lunch hour. We pre-ordered by phone which made the process quicker, we were in and out within an hour. Lovely food as always and plenty of it. I would recommend the halloumi grilled sandwich.

I'm not in the habit of leaving 1* reviews but after being (I believe accidentally) overcharged on my credit card vs what was on the bill, and Cafe Passion not replying to any of my 3 webform requests for them to reimburse, I have no other avenue to take my complaint. Sorry folks. (If you read this Cafe Passion, please respond to my webforms over the past 2 weeks). To all diners - CHECK THE AMOUNT TYPED INTO THE CARD MACHINE MATCHES YOUR BILL

Food is always fantastic. Staff are helpful and nice. They answer any and all questions.

out of date food and drinks be careful

Sister in law tooks us for lunch after telling us how great it was. Food was fantastic especially the mixed cold mezze we shared. We each had different kebabs which came with a lovely bulgar wheat salad. Fresh bread and lovely sauces. The guy serving was great and the experience will definitely be one to repeat.

Nice people, great food and a great atmosphere. Friendly boys, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely delicious as usual. Cannot fault this place, well worth a visit.

Our favourite place. Lovely food and good prices

Food was very poor, also very expensive, won't be back

Really didn't like the food, ordered a chicken dish, it was awful, really chewy meatand the sauce just had a strong garlic flavour. The drinks are extortionate! £4.50 for an appletizer . The service was fine. Will definitely not be back

Small restaurant, with great food. We were lucky to get a table on a Saturday evening, considering we hadn't booked. Looked tiny on arrival. However, there is an upstairs. Decor is basic, and it felt more like a popular takeaway had decided to create some seating. However, the service was friendly. Alcohol was available, and it appeared to be a popular spot. The food was the best part of the experience. We both had chicken Shish. The chicken had great flavour and was perfectly cooked. All the side salad was nice and fresh. The mushroom starter was nicely flavoured. No wonder it's highly rated. It gets the food right.

Despite being advised, our initial choices were unavailable; we went with the waiter's alternative recommendations. We weren't disappointed. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Thank you so much We will will definitely be back

Really nice place, the food was brilliant and decent potions. The staff were very friendly, I'll definitely be going again!

This place was wonderful surprise for us. Actually, we were not hungry and stopped only for a bit snack, but snacks were so tasty that we decided to have the main meal as well. 😍 The food was so good! ❤ Nice service and friendly staff! Highly recommended to everyone!

My 1st visit here and it was really good. Went with relatives who had been before so they new it was good. Food was delicious and well priced. We will go again. The liver starter I had was very good 👍

A lovely friendly welcome, first class service and food, couldn’t have been more. The food wash fresh very tasty and well presented. Really was excellent and I’ll certainly be back.

We both felt the food was excellent along with the service. Would definitely come back for more! It is deceptively larger than it looks from downstairs as there are more tables upstairs making it larger than just a 'Cafe'.

Basically a takeaway with seating beyond the grill/kitchen area and seating upstairs. The food was fairly decent but nothing to write home about and the prices were about average. However, we were charged £3.50 for a small cans of coke! The guy that served us also suggested we pay a service charge which I declined mainly due to the extortionate price of the drinks. Can't say I'd be visiting again anytime soon.

Had a lovely meal here this week. A gorgeous chicken salad. I loved the salad dressings which elevated the dish. Then shared a strawberry cheesecake with my friend (what a mistake - it was so light and fluffy we could have eaten one each!!). Will be back!!!

Love Cafe Passion. The service is great and the food is fantastic. It's a real hidden gem of Halifax 👍

Great food,had the chicken kebab,large meals fresh tasty food.Clean tidy place with friendly polite staff.

Unbelievable how good the food was. Went for the lunchtime special. Genuinely out of this world

An absolute gem 💎 Food was amazing. Service was amazing.

Not a huge choice but enjoyed our choices. Both very good.

Few items like fajitas are really good. Pizza i did not like personally.

ممتاز جدا ونظيف من افضل المطاعم في هاليفاكس..

Delicious grills comes with bulgur rice/chips and salad. Very clean and fresh, cooked to order only so expect waiting times. Gets very busy at times due to limited capacity, and take away orders maybe delayed to prioritise dining in customers. Would recommend and visit again.

Lovely food, pleasant staff . Recommend the pide, if ya want to upgrade from pizza .

Totally delicious every time, fresh, healthy options , gorgeous food huge portions, definitely coming again soon …🤤🤤

Had a birthday meal yesterday with family absolutely 💯 service food fabulous will definitely go back even got cake with a candle 🕯 would highly recommend

Such a hidden gem! Literally didn't expect the food to be so top tier. I went there with my whole family and the setup upstairs was great for us. The toilet location isn't the best however as people do have to come upstairs to use it as its close by the table. Despite that downfall the food more than made up for it and the service was great also. Throughly enjoyed it, I will be going there again 👍🏽

Food was decent. Halloumi kebab was a bit tinpot, some of the meat dishes were well reviewed by other members of the group. However, £6.50 for a bottle of beer is unacceptable, would not visit again.

Lovely food, friendly and obliging staff, cosy atmosphere...highly recommend!

Nice food,but a long wait for food to arrive Not much atmosphere as we were close to the takeaway area

Superb café, the meals are always good value and beautifully presented. Alcoholic drinks aren't cheap though.

2nd visit with friends and food did not disappoint. Once again some cracking food came our way. Service could have been better thou.

Beautiful restaurant, been a couple of times now, food is exceptional value for money, large portions, staff friendly, restaurant nice and clean, highly recommended 👌

Beautiful food, amazing service and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend you book a table and have yourself some amazing Turkish food.

Food was lovely . We were a large group that had booked and they couldn't manage to bring out the food at the same time , which was a little disappointing. Only 1 man serving in the restaurant of 2 floors .

Very good but these other ppl were here and there were very annoing it was not peacful but the food is very nice .

First time and was not disappointed, food was amazing 😋

Had a really great meal here before a show at the Victoria theatre. Beautiful freshly prepared salad, I had the sea bass which was perfectly cooked. Service excellent. Worth knowing is cash only, but we were advised of this when we booked. Would certainly recommend and plan to visit again.

Excellent food, cosy cafe, great service. Pricey but you get amazing quantity of food with it. Recommended for a warm delicious meal.

Attended with family, restaurant very cold had to eat food with our coats on, food took nearly 2 hrs to arrive, poor service asked for drinks never arrived asked for glasses never arrived

Had a works get together here 14 of us an all Happy with service and food. Would definitely recommend

Very nice reasonably priced food staff were friendly

Collected food for my son. He says food is always good

A great place for a bite to eat or evening meal, delicious food

Delicious fresh food, good price. Will definitely visit again!

Just had a group lunch and it was utterly dreadful. Half the food was cold, two peoples orders didn't come until everyone else had finished and drinks we ordered never turned up. Then the incredibly rude waiter had the nerve to put a service charge on the bill. I will never set foot in this place again.

Rang at 6pm and they said they were opening delivery at 7-7:30. I asked if this was for definite as we’d order elsewhere and was assured yes. We waited and eventually rang back at 7:30 to check, they’d decided not to bother. The person who answered was rude and unhelpful, no apology. Last time we went we were overcharged for two meals so won’t use again and check your bills.

Really lovely food and good service. Upstairs was really cold.

Amazing service and food!! Friendly staff !! We went there for my mums birthday party all of us been happy about decision!!! Nice food , huge portions!! Thank you. We will come definitely again!!

Excellent service and great food. A real hidden gem in Halifax 👍

27.50 for a hot meze starter for 2... overpriced for what it was! Main meal: the meat was average at best! After reading reviews we were looking forward to our meal but we were left disappointed. Expensive for what it was, bread and salad largely.

Food was beautiful! Really reasonably priced for the quality and presentation. Staff were friendly, polite and friendly. This is a must try place! You won't be disappointed they were six of us who had different dishes and every member of our party really enjoyed thier chosen dishes.

Haven't been since the pandemic but had forgotten how good the food is Enjoyed the meal immensely

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 Theatre. Be warned!!!!

Bit pricey but good food if you like that style. Usually get a plate with a few different bits to it. Seems like the only real change to a fish is the meat everything else is the same. Salad, dips, couscous. Tasty though.

Absolutely brilliant, will 100% return. Food was excellent, service was friendly and welcoming.

We went here for a meal before going to Victoria Theatre. We have been before years ago. It was lovely. We were looked after, we booked a table down stairs as mobility issues. To say small space downstairs didn't feel cramped. The seats were comfy to sit on. The food was lovely, decent portions. Intact to many chips for both of us. First time having Turkish beer and was lovely. Bit surprised cash only and luckily I had enough to pay the bill.

Been few times now and the food so good & fresh and lovely service. Will return again soon.

الأكل طيب.. الاسكندر عندهم بالدجاج عادية.. الطاووق لذيذ وسباقيتي اللحم المفروم بولونيز جدا لذيذة.. كذلك الكفتة عجبت العيال..

Called here for pre theatre dinner, the food was delicious and well presented also very good value. Service was a little slow but very professional.

Really nice food and large portions. Service slow l. Could not give 5 starts as 10% service charge added to bill. No mention on menu. Normally leave tips but pet hate for service charges to be added which prior knowledge Small grip also, menu pricing do not reflect cafe prices quite a large difference. Really need to advertise takeaway and cafe prices.

Absolutely stunning food for such a reasonable price, My mum & me went for lunch a couple of days ago and the food was absolutely gorgeous! Friendly staff and everything clean and tidy.

Amazing from start to finish, really tasty food and friendly service

The food is amazing, deliciously prepared and the portion in worthy of price and a full Turkish salad to match.

Nice food but expensive for what it is £5 for small beer

Fantastic food staff took care of are table no question asked and we called when they were closing nice evening

We've eaten here many times over the last few years, never disappoints.

Very good food and very reasonably priced.

I visited Cafe Passion on Thursday evening with my wife and my inlaws. We had been to Shibden Hall and the Piece Hall and decided to eat locally in Halifax before returning home to Barnsley. I'm so glad that we chose Cafe Passion as the food was tremendous. Some of the best Turkish food I've ever had, and I've ate in Stoke Newington in London (a hotspot for Turkish food). The Pide was out of this world, light yet crunchy base and a generous amount of topping. My wife and her sister enjoyed their steaks and my brother in law said his Chicken Doner Kebab was the best kebab he'd ever ate. We were served by a lovely young lady named Olivia who was friendly and very professional, she will go a long way in the hospitality business. The food was so good that we've already planned to go back again later this summer. 10 out of 10!

Each dish was amazing. Lots to choose from on the menu so there is something for everyone. Service is quick and it is great value for money. Love it here and will be back.

Nice place to eat. Food is lovely.

Visited here as a last minute thing and I'm so glad we did. The food was incredible and so much of it too. Only one guy cooking it looked like and he was doing an amazing job as it was quite busy. We were served fast and the staff were friendly. The price was really reasonable too. If I'm ever in Halifax again I will be coming back here.

Beautiful and really tasty food, good menu, spotless clean. Fab! 5⭐️

Food perfectly cooked Staff very friendly and efficient. Beautiful food as ever

Lovely staff, delicious food, great service. Cosy, local restaurant at a reasonable price, we really enjoyed our evening, felt really as and unhurried. The portions are really generous, we ate ourselves full and still had some left!

Really enjoyed Best food in town. 😄 Cool and very fast service. A place to have a good time in this town .

Turkish Breakfast. Very hearty and filling, packed full of flavour. Cooked fresh, served with Turkish bread and a choice of coffee or tea. Opted for a latte, which was very good.

Amazing food, great friendly service. Id say the place needs a makeover nice but needs more but food is amazing!

i have eaten in here in the past and it was nice but this time decided to get a takeaway and wow what an embarrasment overcooked peice of message. got a dry slice of pitta with some extremerly dry chicken that was like mush and...

Great lunch out all very fresh and great service.

I honestly can't say what's better, the service or the food... The staff are so friendly and accommodating, the food is delicious and overall it was just a really great meal!

Food, portions and service of an exceptional standard. Would certainly return if in the area and would highly reccommend. Make sure you book first!

Called in on off chance got a table upstairs stuck in corner looking at 2 walls Been going here for years Not been since covid so thought we would give it a go again Absolutely awful Garlic mushrooms in orange coloured sauce Lamb chewy No...
