Bacchus 131 Queen Street, Morley, Leeds LS27 8HE

"Google won't publish my full review, presumably because it's very long so here's the shorter version. I don't like to be negative about a new opening like this, especially when I created this Google entry for them and had been answering questions about the place before it opened but I have to be honest... Nice enough basic food that's served promptly although differs a little from the menu description (meat cubed, not in slices for example) and even from plate to plate. Pleasant surroundings but spoilt by disappointing service at the table side of things from staff that seemed indifferent to you being there and lacking in hospitality skills. Basics like asking if you'd like a starter or sides, dumping drinks at one end for us to sort ourselves, not opening the wine, not asking if we wanted puddings and then getting the (very basic) order wrong when we prompted them to take an order, no pleasantries at all to speak of. Restaurant still trades on a cash only basis, the wine glasses don't match (fine from table to table but not on the same one) and we had things spoilt further by loud sweary diners on another table when we were in there with young kids. They were unable (or unwilling) to make a basic cheese pide for the kids despite having pide on the menu and a range of pizza available. I suspect the key is to try and get seated downstairs, the difference in experience for one diner from last week to this was marked and that was the only real change. Be wary of other reviews on here not being 100% honest, even the owner appears to have given himself a 5* one. Hopefully they iron out the issues they clearly have going forward."

"Amazing food and great service!!! Food is fresh and delicious. The staff are really friendly and quick at serving you with your drinks.i really enjoy it there. This was my second time and I have booked again already."

"Had good expectations for this new venue in Morley but didn’t live up to it. The food literally has little flavour and is bland. All 3 of our party said so and I know 2 other couples who’ve been recently. The food looks lovely and is presented well, portion sizes on the small-ish side though. Prices are pretty steep but it’s a typical inflated price to encourage diners to choose the 2 course set menu, of which about 80% come with an extra £2 surcharge! Staff were friendly but didn’t check if meal was ok during or at the end. No draft lagers either, just bottles. It’s been open a good 6 weeks now and still playing the ‘card machine isn’t working’ line as do most takeaways, doesn’t take much to work out why one might say that. The restaurant Google overview seems to be littered with suspicious fake reviews also. Wish Bacchus well but I won’t be returning."

"The place itself is set out nice. I eat out for quality food especially when I'm paying over the odds. Food was nice but I'd say 6/10. The picture was a mixed grill priced at £19.95! Starter main and bread and I'm still hungry. Not the best Turkish restaurant around."
