Angele's Cafe Restaurant in Brighton and Hove

The best greek food I have eaten in the UK. Babaganoush was light and flavoursome not stodgy. Halloumi in sesame delicious. All the meze very very good then the most succulent tasty chicken shish ever. Very worth it as reasonably priced too!

Fantastic venue with great food and options for Coeliacs

Absolutely delicious lunch here today

Very good cuisine, a lot on the plates, very nice people, will be back next time in Brighton.

Delicious food, I have been to Turkey several times and the food is just as good! The waiting staff were really attentive too - thank you for having us!

Great restaurant with delicious dishes and very friendly staff. They even got some toys out for our little one ❤️

Its a great place to try Turkish food mixed with ottoman cuisine. Staff and atmosphere is quite lovely

My partner and I ate at Constantinople on Saturday evening. We were spending the night in Brighton and chose this restaurant based on the reviews. We were one of the first tables in and we ordered one chicken shish and one mixed shish. When it arrived it looked and tasted great but when cutting into the chicken shish, it was obvious that it had not been properly cooked and was still pink in places. We sent it back and a new meal was cooked with an extra skewer free of charge but, being honest, neither of us wanted to eat it after that. What was more disappointing was that we were told that the reason this had happened was that because we were an early booking, the grill hadn't had time to heat up properly as it had been cleaned after their lunch service. This isn't the type of food or excuse you expect from a professional restaurant with such a good reputation. It's simply dangerous. A thoroughly disappointing meal that really ruined our evening.

Wonderful evening at Constantinople. We received a warm welcome on a busy Saturday evening. The food was delicious, as always and the service and atmosphere were also great. Good value for money and they were good with gluten free options. I would definitely recommend.

Booked for Valentine’s Day and had great service and food. Definitely visiting again.

Great place, great value for money. Their food is full of flavour and their staff is nice and welcoming. Lovely interior and great location within the city

The food was fantastic. The service was a little chaotic, but I can't wait to try this food again. The tastes and textures were not what I expected, which is what made this place stand out.

My partner & I visited this restaurant last night and it was great. The food was absolutely delicious with so many flavours. The staff gave us a few complimentary dishes as they were so busy. The food tasted very fresh and flavourful. It’s quite a small restaurant and I did struggle with the noise but with loophole earplugs it was manageable. It’s very affordable too. Kind to people with disabilities and make amendments to dishes. No issues with gluten-free diet. Lots of dairy though.

Great Food. Romantic little place, nice atmosphere, great service, family owned and you can tell everything is fresh. The best Mediterranean food I've ever had. I even ordered more hummus to go.

A restaurant full of wonderful Kurdish and Greek flavors. I ate Buryan and learned that it was a very special and traditional recipe handed down from the restaurant owner's grandfather. This was the best meat I've ever eaten. The service was very successful and the staff were friendly. Highly recommended

A gem of a restaurant with fantastic authentic and honest cuisine .. will definitely return and highly recommend to anyone.. consistently good..

Fantastic food - wonderful choice and great service. Would highly recommend to others. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Excellent food and selection. Regularly go here. Never disappointed. Great value too. Reasonably priced wine and beer and good selection. Service good.

Just a brilliant restaurant. Great value for money . A hidden gem

This was the first time I visited the restaurant and really enjoyed it. Nicely laid out restaurant, the waiter was friendly (but not in your face) and offered some helpfull advice. It was quite busy, which help create a relaxed atmosphere - if that makes sense? And most importantly - the food - fantastic. I had a starter, main, desert and coffee - it was served well, looked good and tasted great. Really can't fault the restaurant. Definitely worth a visit.

Well, nothing much honestly. We ordered two main dishes: one vegetarian and one with lamb. All a conglomerate of onion, chives and garlic. The only good thing was the lamb. For the rest, nothing special. I would not return and do not recommend it.

My favourite place in Brighton. The food is always so delicious and prepared with love and care by this family run restaurant. The staff is the kindest, always kind, friendly and attentive, making me feel at home. The atmosphere is very cosy and relaxing, with warm light during the evening and a welcoming brightness through the large windows during the day. Perfect for a delicious lunch break, a cozy dinner but also an afternoon snack with colleagues and friends. Baby/kid super friendly but also perfect for a date. It is staying affordable despite the rest of the city going in the opposite direction. I am so glad I found this space and I will always bring my friends and guest there!

Great food and a nice atmosphere. You can't beat a good Greek restaurant.

Have used numerous times as a pre-concert meal venue. Lovely food, friendly staff. 10-15 minutes walk to The Dome or the Brighton Center.

The incredible food, impeccable service, and casual atmosphere of this restaurant are unmissable in Brighton. I came here for a relaxed late lunch after a day of tourism and I was met with a kind and attentive server and a very reasonably priced lunch special, which included 2 mezze as well as a main course and the server brought out a piece of honey cake at the end of the meal on the house.

Lovely atmosphere, warm friendly and cosy. Very welcoming . Genuine staff food delicious. Big appetites satisfied. Looking forward to coming again.

Nice little middle eastern restaurant who isnt expensive at all but also not amazing. Its a safe bet if you like this type of food.

Amazing Turkish food. We got some plates to share and each one was delicious. The staff were also extremely nice and friendly, offering us dessert on the house (which was also mouth salivating). This place is also in a great location, wonderful for lunch or dinner after visiting town. I highly recommend if you want to try some great food!!

I have been to this restaurant multiple times and have always been impressed by both the quality of food and the friendly nature of the staff. I have tried different items on the menu and have been impressed with everything. The service is very good and the staff navigate the restaurant excellently, even when it is full (which leaves a lovely atmosphere inside). I would throughly recommend eating here!

What a meal, delicious flavours. The meze starter was amazing and the main course out of this world. The photo is of the meze starter.

Had the Buryan Kebab and it was absolutely fantastic. Can't reccomend it anymore highly - a lot of meat and fantastic flavors.

Beautiful service & delicious food.

delicious food with beautiful ambience and service.

Been a few times with my girlfriend always good, staff are always attentive and friendly. We normally go for a selection of small plates but the mains are great too. The hummus and grit ezme are stellar

We had a wonderful time here. First and most importantly the food was brilliant, chicken was super flavourful and succulent, while we also really enjoyed the minced lamb stuffed aubergine special too! Staff were very friendly and clearly knowledgeable on dishes when we asked because of a nut allergy. And finally, the atmosphere/decor of the place was spot on, made for a great night, would definitely recommend.

This is a little gem of a place IMO It's usually quiet (which some may consider good or bad depending on personal preference) But the food and service has always been good when I go It's a place I enjoy visiting and I wouldn't let the lack of patrons put you off Simple and good quality/value for money Recommended 👍

Food was so delicious I forgot to take any photos, has the mix grill for main with dips and Turkish bread to start, only thing they didn’t have was Turkish tea ☕️

Have just spent 4 nights (Sunday to Wednesday) in Brighton & Hove and discovered Constantinople on the first night. We were that impressed that returned on the last night. Great food and service. Welcoming with a lovely atmosphere. The Buryan Kebab was particularly delicious - slow cooked lamb which melted in the mouth.

Absolute gem of a place, a lovey warm welcome on arrival, the most delicious food at a very good price. Will definitely being visiting again!

Simply the best food and service you could expect.

Amaizing food , brilliant service 👌

1st time here this week, and I'm glad we came. The service was welcoming , friendly and attentive. The food was flavoursome and well presented. The 3 course set menu was great value also. We'll definitely return next year on our annual Brighton trip.

Authentic. Tasty. Good value. Really enjoyed our dinner. Very busy on a Tuesday says a lot. Genuine Turkish owners. Some good meal deals. Recommended

Good atmosphere. Food was microwaved and cold inside. Rice was overcooked. Also got the wrong starters and wrong wine (ordered red and got white wine). Too expensive for the quality they offer.

A lovely unfussy Turkish restaurant run by a lovely Turkish family.

It’s my first time visiting this place with my work collages wouldn’t thank enough to uk stuff and the food is amazing it ll ne my local place from now on

Very beautiful cuisine 🧑‍🍳 congratulations to the chef!

Extremely Delicious, Lovely Staff, Quick Service

Excellent food with good prices.

Great verity of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine and excellent service

Amazing food and service. It was indeed a relaxing atmosphere with excellent food and great host. It would recommend all to visit this amazing Mediterranean cuisine restaurant while visiting Brighton. It is very near to the Hove beach.

Insanely good must-visit spot in Brighton. The chicken shish did not disappoint. The hummus is a must have. BOSH!

Great place if you need gluten free food. Lots of options, good portion size, really tasty and they went out of their way to get gluten free bread for us. I can particularly reccomend the octopus.

Lovely food with lovely service in a family run restaurant

Great meal at Constantinople! Lovely food, good service, relaxed atmosphere and reasonably priced - we’ll be back!

Cosy atmosphere venue Meals piping hot Had their tarlapia fish stew A disabled toilet is provided on the ground floor thou access in a wheelchair is difficult due step and a sharp left turn to enter just in front of a flight of descending steps .

Constantinople is amazing, first time here after reccomendation and did not dissapoint! The team were great and the service was excellent. The food was amazing! The lamb was cooked perfectly. On both dishes. The prices are reasonable based on the quality and quality of food! Would fully reccomend to anyone

I essentially had a 3 course meal, including steak as a main, for less than the price of a steak in most other restaurants. It was also one of the nicest steaks I've had in years. In fact, absolutely everything was delicious. I am a very happy and very full customer.

Went for an early dinner. I had the mixed grill and all the kebabs were succulent and tasty.

Considering the place wasn't busy, I thought it was slow service. Still 5 stars, cause the food blew my mind. Had the x factor. I've eaten lots of Turkish food. This didn't taste good. It tasted amazing, and it's been a while since I have had amazing, but this was definitely it. The flavours were perfect, and it tasted like it was both due to it being done well, but also using proper fresh ingredients, even where it may not be expected. Even the side salad was super flavorful, which signals to me that they truly care about the quality of their products. I'd recommend this place for sure.

This place is great, great value, great food, great people, it's just great, go and check it out it's great!

Just got home from eating here. The food was absolutely superb. I had the calamari but it was so different from regular calamari and it was so delicious. One of the best things I have ever tasted! The service was super quick and friendly April 2024 Just been out to eat with friends. Delicious food. Truly amazing, might be my favourite restaurant ever. Staff were so friendly and attentive and the food was just so so flavourful. Special mentions go to the Baba ganoush and the meatball/kofta. Amazing

Excellent Turkish food. And i can sincerely day that as someone who is very familiar with Turkish Cuisine :) This was one of the best Turkish restaurants i’ve been in the UK. Food was super tasty, service was excellent, the ambience is also really nice. 100% recommend. We came here after our 10K run and it was a great celebration!

First visit to Constantinople and its my favourite restaurant so far in Brighton! Food was delicious, lots of variety. Atmosphere very authentic. Great service. Will definitely be back.

We had an amazing meal here on Saturday night. We were a large group, but our food all came out at the same time and was AMAZING, and the staff were freindly and accommodating. We will definitley be back. Thank you all.

11 of us visited this wonderful restaurant for two birthday celebrations. Cannot rate it highly enough. We had a mix of starters chosen by the team, then a variety of main courses, including fab vegetarian options. Amazing food. Attentive service. Could not have asked for a better evening. All such good value too. Thank you

I have never seen a restaurant that cooks and serves such wonderful food before. Thanks to the manager from Şırnak.

Booked in for a birthday lunch as have always enjoyed the food and service here on previous visits. Needless to say both were exceptional today. Would highly recommend for all occasions.

Wow.. what a find… absolutely loved it… can’t say there was anything negative… outstanding service, food was absolutely fantastic… best meal out in a long time… what more can I say?

Fabulous food bursting with flavours. Great service. My Turkish friends tell me this is the most authentic Turkish restaurant they have found in their 10 years in the UK. Even the interior design is quintessential Istanbul.

Cramped and disorganised. Was told when we arrived we had to leave by X time so we had to hurry for next reservation... our order and the orders of the tables on either side of us were wrong.... the food was average at best.

Amazing Meze. We have visited Turkey many times and this is authentic and fantastic quality, as good, if not better than food from there. I particularly recommend the Baba Ganoush and Carrot Tarator. Complimentary extra Meze and Dessert

The music makes the atmosphere way better,the food and drinks were just one of the best I had.the owner was very friendly and nice(who served the tables).I have been here before and it still didn’t disappoint me and my family☺️I recommend This to you My favourite food was the meatballs🤤

We were recommended Constantinople on our recent visit to Brighton and I can see why. The food was excellent, the restaurant had a nice laid back feel and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Constantinople is also excellent value for money. The mezze combination was also a great deal and you get loads of delicious options, as well as a main course! The only thing I didn't like was that I couldn't finish my main because everything on the mezze combination was so nice I couldn't stop eating it, but that was my own fault for being greedy! 😂 Highly recommended and would definitely visit again when visiting Brighton.

Really liked this restaurant. Would happily recommend it. The food was very tasty, interesting flavours and lots of it. We had the '3 course dinner menu' with a couple of mezze dishes each and lots of choice, plus an entree, followed by an equally tasty main course. And finally, when we asked for the bill the owner arrived with complimentary Turkish desert which we some how found space for ;) Will be back soon.

Lovely and quaint. Delicious Turkish food.

The best Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food in Brighton, lovely staff and a great atmosphere!

Lovely restaurant and great food. The octopus was special as well as the cold starters.

The food and service was top notch. It wasn't busy the time we were there, so it is difficult to judge the atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

We went there as a party of two. The place was completely empty but they didn't disappoint. Great food and service.

Wir würden vom Blick ins Restaurant angezogen und haben jeden Moment genossen. Super freundliche Bedienung, das Essen excellent: wir waren zu dritt und hatten alle das Menü mit zwei Meze, einer Vorspeise und einem Hauptgericht zu 25 Pfund. Herrlich ..dazu ein zwei eisegekühlte Efes draft. Sehr gerne wieder!!!

Wow! What an amazing place! The staff were great and made some amazing recommendations. The food was incredible and so was the dancing towards the end of the evening!!

Delicious food and friendly service

Such a lovely evening with my 4 friends. Great food and a lovely touch of complimentary bites. Many thanks to the charming man who served us and kindly arranged a taxi for another lady.

I really like this place. There's So many over priced or similar places around, but this one is different and isn't extortionate. The service was quick and very friendly. The vegan choice was good, though it could have been a little clearer what was vegan or veggie. We chose the option to share four starters, which was a good move. And then to share a main course, the Imam bayildi, which is roasted aubergine. I'd got the impression it was 2 halves of aubergine. That would have been plenty. But it was only a half - which left us a bit short. We topped it up with some bread and humus.. to be honest, I never know why humus is treated as being a slightly expensive dish in its own right in Mediterranean restaurants.. doesn't fit well with knowing it's so cheap and easy to make. So - for 2 of you, 1 main after 4 starter dishes probably isn't enough. All of that aside, it's a brilliant place and I'll definitely go again and just order a bit more.. some people seemed to have ordered enough for loads more people but I hate waste. The complementary pudding was delicious and very welcome - and at least we had room for it!

I went there once and the food was amazing alot Fresh and delicious, I recommend it to everyone, definitely try it once.

An enchanting place with exceptional food and service, I highly recommend. The Mixed grill was one of the most satisfying dishes I have had in a long time! If I lived in Brighton, it would become my regular for sure!

Fab food, lovely atmosphere, great service.

Finally made it here and it was so worth it. Food, atmosphere and service was great. Definitely recommend

My mother, sister and I are in Brighton for a long weekend and we were looking for something a little different. Found Constantinople on the internet and booked ourselves in! We ordered the lamb shish, lamb shank and about 4 mezze dishes and without fail everything has been perfection.. clean, light, tasty, perfectly seasoned, flavourful and all served in a lovely warm, hospitable ambiance. Three very happy customers. The aperol spritz’s were also excellent! Check it out!

My favourite Turkishish restaurant/cafe. From delicious small plates you can share to yummy main courses to really get your teeth into. Wonderful meats, great fish. Have a little, have lots, please yourself! Wine list and beers, spirits good too. Lovely friendly & helpful staff. Great value

Party of 6. Pre-booked. Two vegetarians. First time for some of us to a Turkish restaurant and the owner and staff were very welcoming, happy to make recommendations, explain anything that wasn't clear etc. Never had Turkish wine before, but they recommended it and it was a good choice. No-one in our group had anything negative to say about the food or standards of service etc. Would happily go back again without hesitation and very happy to recommend it although I can't compare it to other Turkish restaurants, as I was a first timer. Lovely all round.

Beautiful place, fab food, service, would go back, the meatballs amazing

Visiting brighton for the weekend but eating here has made our stay! Amazing food and lovely friendly service. Thank you.

Had a wonderful dinner here on Saturday night, staff were so friendly, such a lovely atmosphere and the food was all 10/10! Would highly recommend, so welcoming and friendly.

Great food prompt service and a copy atmosphere.

Fantastic restaurant with amazing food. A friend had given us a few recommendations of good places to eat in Brighton and strongly suggested we try here. I’m so glad we did. The food was amazing, full of flavour and delicious. I had the Calamari Mucver to start and the gentleman serving informed us it was his favourite. It was easy to see why, it was delicious. For my main course I had the chicken Sac Tava which was amazing, full of flavour and a really good portion size. We will definitely eat there again

Popped in on a very quiet Monday after the first restaurant we stopped at ignored us with the menu for almost 30 minutes. It was really quiet but the low lighting and lovely decor made a real calming, inviting atmosphere. Genuinely friendly welcome and felt like our custom was really appreciated. We chose a couple of starters and mains, and were not disappointed! The calamari fishcake starters were truly melt in the mouth tasty. Also we received a free tapas on the house, a really nice touch. Even the bread was deliciously fresh, warm and not stodgy. Mains were salmon skewers - char grilled perfectly, tasty outside and perfectly soft insides, and a chicken in sauce dish that was too spicy for me but my spice appreciating friend devoured it with a huge smile- wonderfully tasteful apparently. Thank you for a lovely evening, we were only in Brighton for one night but will definitely return on a future visit. Prices were good, chairs were comfy, waiter was the nicest guy, service was efficient, professional, and with a smile.

Amazing Turkish food and they were so lovely to me. Really felt welcomed and they were very generous. Honestly as good as the food in turkey! Such a great find. Great price and value as well! Family owned and makes it that much more wonderful.

When we came in they didn't have my reservation even tho I called the night before. It was very quiet when we came in but it picked up after and the staff was cleary very stressed. The food was great and really tasty and it compensates for the service, that specifically told us when "I don't have time." When my friend and I were deciding how to pay.
