About Balcon Café

Balcon Café is a Turkish cafe in Hull, at 147 Beverley Rd. The kitchen puts out a daily special that is not on the menu, so it is worth asking the team what is being served. Turkish breakfast comes with dips, Turkish tea and complimentary warm bread filled with Turkish cheese. Lahmacun and pide sit among the mains, alongside traditional Turkish pastries, desserts and sides. British breakfast options appear next to the Turkish ones. Drinks include Turkish coffee, hot drinks and fresh orange juice.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the Turkish breakfast, served with fresh bread, many dips and Turkish tea, and several call it very filling. Close behind are the pide and the lahmacun, which one reviewer places above most they have had in Turkey, along with fresh orange juice and Turkish coffee. Many describe the staff as friendly and smiling, and the space as airy, relaxed and spacious, with several noting low or sensible prices. Some mention a generous basket of warm bread, and one was given a complimentary cheese-filled bread. The main complaints concern pace. One reviewer says the food takes time to arrive, and another describes extremely slow service on a visit with young children, where a staff member shouted at a customer who raised the delay, leaving that family unwilling to return. One other notes the cafe looked quite empty for its size and, from outside, seemed still under construction, so they walked past a few times without realising it was serving. Regulars close on the warm welcome at the door and the parking behind the building.

    “I have been visiting this place for quite a while and everytime i get the same amazing service. Especially the gentleman (murad) always welcomes with a big smile on face and will make few jokes to make you feel home. And it's always clean and tidy, very calm music on. Menu is very clear and understandable. Parking available behind the restaurant. Thanks balcon face”

    “It's a very good, beautiful, and spacious cafe; its carefully chosen decor makes you feel relaxed, allowing you to enjoy a hearty breakfast, a relaxing coffee, or a traditional Turkish lunch, and my absolute favorite, the lahmacun. The staff are very kind and always polite. I would truly say this is a hidden gem of Hull. The portions are quite filling, and I almost couldn't finish the Turkish breakfast. Pide, fresh orange juice, Turkish coffee, and lahmacun are among my favorites. You should definitely come :)”

It’s a great place to relax, enjoy good food, and spend time with friends. Highly recommended! And I really liked the changes they made inside of the shop”

    “My family and I visited today and unfortunately, the service was extremely slow, and one member of staff in particular was very rude and unprofessional. Another customer calmly raised concerns about the delay in receiving food, and in a room full of people, this staff member chose to shout at a woman with three young children. The situation was handled very poorly and was uncomfortable for other customers to witness. I personally felt his reaction was influenced by the fact that the woman was on her own, which made the interaction even more difficult to watch. One comment made was: “If you wanted food at the same time, you should’ve ordered the same food.” While different meals may take different lengths of time, customers should still receive their food within a reasonable timeframe of each other, especially when young children are involved. This has left an extremely sour taste. Sadly, based on this experience, me and my will not be returning.”
