A brand new £1million burger bar is all set to open in the building that housed the iconic Bailey's Cafe in Dewsbury. Set over two floors, Emojies has light-up tables, two huge video walls and a feature may blossom tree. The building, bought by Dewsbury businessman Imran Ahmed in 2016, has a stunning high-end finish with an industrial theme. The entire structure had to be renovated after a serious fire before Imran bought it.
Talking about the burger joint to local media, Imran said, “It really has the wow factor when you go inside. We want it to be on par with the kind of sit-down restaurant experience you would find in Leeds, Manchester or London. There is nothing really nice like this in Dewsbury.” He said he wanted to create something special in his hometown.
If reports are to be believed, Emojies will have a menu based around burgers, grilled chicken and fish along with desserts, smoothies and milkshakes. It will seat 160 diners inside and out. Set to open last October, the burger bar is now planned during the first two weeks of June.
