    We had the mixed grill platter, without rice. We absolutely loved it! The meat is well cooked and excellently spiced!! Super tender 😍! The staff are very friendly. Excellent service!

    Love this place ❤️ come at least once a week. Traditional Turkish food... cooked with love and from the heart . From the specials board to the menu, everything is made up to its expectations! The home-made bread is exceptional. From grilled meats to soups, every experience is special, and I am still working my way through the menu! Good selection of wines and traditional beef! It's a hidden gem right next to Brighton Beach.

    Tavuk shish was average. I've tasted much better elsewhere. Claims to be halal without a visible evidence.

    I left the restaurant with full of regretfulness. This is literally the worst Turkish restaurant I've seen throughout the UK. Not a family friendly place with primitive management - staff were swearing and screaming. They didn't look after us as customers - I ordered soup which was not delicious as well as lahmacun - I even couldn't taste the meat. Beyti was somehow fine. All dishes came in rather small portion. These are my experience I already deleted it from my to-go list.

    Used to be some of the best Turkish south of North London, fantastic, flavourful and massive portions. Now the portions are miserly, the bread is like a rock, the lamb shish meat is chewy, lacks flavour and has a nasty smell. The kofte and chicken shish are okay but where it used to be 9/10, it is now 2/10. Not to mention the miserliness for the sauce, not only do you have to pay £1.50 for it but you only get about 15ml. The chilli sauce does still taste good though. I really hope you can sort yourselves out, you really had excellent food just a few months ago. Since the food went downhill, this is the 3rd time and last chance I have given this place for it to improve, we used to order every other week. Sadly the food appears to get worse every time... Highly recommend anyone with any expectations or having eaten decent Turkish food to stay away from this place. Small portions, tasteless and quite smelly.

    This has to be the best Turkish restaurant south of London. The selection and quality of the taste is exceptional. They do fantastic starters and have a great selection of very filling mains. And of course, delicious Turkish coffee. It seems more and more difficult to find real Turkish coffee these days, so I'm grateful to see it here. Made the 40 min drive worth it.

    Best food you can taste, generous portions and service with smile. Open plan kitchen you can see your food being prepared. Eat with confidence. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Berkay Can U. 5 months ago on Google
    Very nice and quick service. Starters, salad, Karisik Kabab and Family size Kabab was very tasty. Couldn’t try pide and lahmacun(Turkish pizza) but absolutely will next time. ~£25 per person very reasonable.

    Great place to feel at home! The owner is very friendly and welcoming while the food is even better with great amounts that are delicious and will make you very full halfway through! 5 stars!!!

    Walked past many a time and not gone in but mum and I needed somewhere to have lunch not too far from Brighton centre, we didn't regret it, wasn't the cheapest place and no sign of a lunchtime special menu, but the Turkish tea and the food were plentiful, hot and tasty

  • 2/5 Seraj S. 6 months ago on Google
    The food is not very tasty, despite the prices are considered to be high compared to food quality and portion size, other Turkish, middle eastern restaurants provide better food, iv been here once, i don't think am going to come back again.

    Great find in Brighton. The food was cooked perfectly and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend the chicken shish, calamari, salad and prawns. Best meal we had all week!

  • 4/5 antonio v. 11 months ago on Google
    This is the third time we have eaten here and each time it has been equally delicious. The service is good, the food is excellent and try the Efes beer, it is very good. Go for the family platter you won’t be disappointed!

    We ate here as a group of 6 friends on a Saturday night in February. We eat out regularly as a group and this was our first time here. We had prebooked. The waiting staff were very friendly and good fun. The food and drinks were good. The menu extensive. Based in Pool Valley in Brighton adjacent to the main bus station it felt more like a cafe than a restaurant, with restaurant prices. We all enjoyed our evening and left feeling happy and full.

    We came here for some late lunch and was very happy with what we got. The service was decent and the food was spot on. We both had different types of lamb dish, which was delicious. The portion sizes were huge! Which you can’t grumble at. It’s not centrally located but still had lots of custom, which is a good sign.

    Really really lovely food. Chicken Shish (Tavuk shush) was excellent, and falafel is fab! Didn’t have two dessert we wanted so very kindly gave us something else in the house.

    I have been to many Turkish restaurants and this has to be the one that was the most disappointing. I wish it was better as we were looking for a halal place to eat in Brighton. Big prices, little portions. For £18 we took the mixed kebab plate that was not enough portions. They gave us 3 calamari rings for £8. I know it's a family business and I did not want to give a poor review. But I do hope they improve their service.

    Regretfully I wanted to give this place a better review. However there isn’t enough love or care in their restaurant. They use cheaper cuts of meat which lack depth of flavour. I found a piece of cartilage in the minced lamb kebab. I don’t want to know which part of the animal is ground up to make the mince. The chicken used was the type that’s plumped up with water. The salad was given with a lemon that still had the sticker on it. If they put lemons in a salad that still have a sticker on it then how do I know if they washed the lemon before cutting it? The decor is tired. The music was good. I felt tired, heavy and bloated after eating the meat. I didn’t want to leave a poor review because it’s a small family run business however unlike other Turkish restaurants in Brighton which have similar prices, I don’t think that they respect their customers by not caring for the quality and care of preparation of their food. If they read this review I hope that they improve their service. On balance I won’t ever be returning.

    Ordered Lam shish got given chicken and was told no that’s Lam, BAD customer service, waiter hardly spoke English! I don’t recommend coming to this place. Expensive for what they give! Small portion.
