Eating out: Halifax cafe owners open new Turkish restaurant and bar in Halifax town centre

The owners of Shay Cafe, on Hunger Hill, have expanded to open Anatolia at Wards End, offering a host of fresh, authentic Turkish cuisine cooked by a team of Turkish chefs.

They have carried out a thorough revamp of the inside, creating a warm, welcoming and sophisticated eaterie for the town.

Manager Ali Akcadag, whose dad owns the restaurant, said: “We opened last week and we’ve had positive feedback. People like the food.

"There’s not anywhere else like this in Halifax town centre.”

Anatolia plans to open from 12.30pm to 10pm, every day of the week.
