Tucked away on Liverpool’s vibrant Bold Street, Akasya is a warm and welcoming Turkish bar and grill that brings the rich flavours of Anatolia to the heart of the city. Just a short stroll from Liverpool Central Station and iconic landmarks like the Albert Dock and the Liver Building, Akasya is perfectly placed for everything from casual lunches to celebratory dinners.
Inside, the restaurant is a stylish blend of modern comfort and traditional charm. Think exposed brick, warm lighting, and elegant wooden accents that create a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. The open-plan layout and buzzing energy make it ideal for both intimate meals and lively group gatherings.
Akasya’s menu is a celebration of Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine, with influences from the Balkans, Middle East, and Central Asia. Charcoal-grilled meats are the star of the show - succulent lamb shish, spicy adana, and tender chicken wings all cooked to perfection over open flames. There’s also a generous selection of hot and cold meze, from creamy hummus and smoky aubergine tarator to crispy calamari and falafel. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diners are well catered for, with thoughtful dishes like saksuka and tabbouleh.
The drinks list is equally inviting, featuring Turkish coffee, ayran, and a wide range of cocktails - many of which can be made alcohol-free. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely evening, Akasya offers a slice of Turkish hospitality in the heart of Liverpool.
The kitchen is led by a team passionate about authenticity and quality, ensuring every dish is packed with flavour and made with care. With its central location, warm interiors, and vibrant menu, Akasya is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the true taste of Turkey in Liverpool.
