Cappadocia in Kingston upon Thames

Delicious food, great lunch special, Hass looked after us very well and recommended fresh meat that just arrived, thank you Hass, efficient and friendly service.

Well what can I say. We walked to the restaurant from the cattle market car park and as we turned a corner you could smell the food, really inviting! As we walked into the restaurant it was really full of diners which is always a good sign, especially when a lot of the diners were Turkish. We were served by a waiter called Ali who was absolutely amazing. We were there for my birthday and he bought out my dessert with a candle in it. Happy birthday was played and everyone cheered which was a nice touch. Ali really couldn't do enough for us and he was also serving other diners with the same level of enthusiasm. The food was more than on par and the portions big. We will definitely be going back and I can't recommend Cappadocia enough. Don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself. Go now and tell me it wasn't as good as I say it was!

Great food, great atmosphere. Was very busy but still great service.

Lovely place and great food. Inviting atmosphere and Mustafa service was brilliant!!!!!

Best donar kabab in the city, affordable price for takeaway, best service.

We visited Cappadocia Restaurant on a Friday evening without a reservation. Fortunately, we were able to get a table with only a short wait. We ordered the mixed grilled meats, Turkish manti dumplings, lahmacun, and more. All the dishes were served in generous portions, beautifully seasoned and full of flavour. We were fortunate to be looked after by Ali, who ensured we were happy with everything and made us feel the warmth of true Turkish hospitality. It was a fantastic evening with family, and I’ll certainly be returning to Cappadocia Restaurant.

The best and only place you must eat at Kingston ! Hass ensured we had an amazing lunch with our family. Will always make a special journey to come have a meal here.

Food was excellent as always..Service is unbeatible..Excellent and efficent service by Hass..10 out of 10..we will be back

Hass was amazing, great food and service! Highly recommended this restaurant.

Food was absolutely perfect.Service was exceptional. Hass took the lead.His service was really professional.I highly recommend cappadocia kingston.We will be back!!

We popped in for lunch and were really impressed by the quality of the food. The set lunch is a bargain and we both loved the lamb wrap and halloumi avocado salad. The staff are very friendly and Rahim looked after us really well. Highly recommended

As a Turk, I can confidently say this is the best Turkish food I've had outside of Turkey. We came here for a family dinner, and Hass and the team made the experience truly memorable. The food was not only authentic but also served in huge portions. The mixed grill is a must-try—each piece of meat was incredibly tender and packed with flavour. This restaurant showcases Turkish cuisine at its finest, and the meal was perfectly rounded off with delicious desserts and traditional Turkish tea. A big thank you to Hass for delivering the warm and welcoming service that Turkish hospitality is known for. I can't recommend this place enough!

Lovely place with amazing food. Me and my friend were dining today in Cappadocia and we were impressed with the quality of the food. She had the salmon and I ate chicken. We have tried lentil soup too and it was fabulous. Again lovely experience in this place. The staff was very friendly. Thank you to Rahim.

We went to Cappadocia Kingston tonight and despite it being so busy we received first class service from all the lovely people who work there as always. Great food, outstanding service from all the team including management and friendly atmosphere. Thank you so much 😊

Today we visit your restaurant. We are simply amazed by the quality of service. The service is professional and very attentive and warm. Food quality delicious 10 points and more. The environment was cosy with music playing in the background. We will definitely come back again and again. special thanks to manager Rahim.

Friendly Stuff, amazing food and huge portions. Absolutely delicious Turkish cuisine. Definitely come back. Also, thank you the manager Mr Rahim for hospitality.

Food was really nice the service took to long though

Our server Hassa was very friendly and attentive. The food was really tasty and the portions really good size.

Food absolutely good 🤤 but service always takes longerrr!!! Definitely will recommend this place for tasty food.

We went to celebrate my daughter's 13th birthday, Manager Rahim welcomed us as always with the smile, he made sure my daughter gets the cake with the candle and together were singing Happy Birthday. The waiter Mustafa was looking after us very well, was very helpful and friendly. The food absolutely delicious as per usual (thank you to the chef!!) we always coming back here every time we in Kingston. Warm atmosphere, comfortable, friendly, welcoming. Keep coming back again and again, love it!!!

Most of our group writes for Vice UK or another food blog and fortunately for Cappadocia, it was a good thing this was an off-duty visit. I desperately tried to cling onto only giving this place a 2 star review as I hate one stars because one star stands for 'don't do it - truly forgettable experience' especially since the place is packed and so is the takeaway section of it next door, it's clear the place is popular in Kingston; but maybe it's also because people don't know any better. The servers are moderately friendly, but only at points. Service is efficient at times, but sometimes too thorough. Tables are wiped down between courses and cutlery/crockery replaced. Unfortunately the service is also part of the problem. We ordered two of the chef special - a Testi. Which is a stew usually cooked in clay pottery. The menu describes it as being flamed table side, you order it for the spectacle. Unfortunately, it was delivered with little enthusiasm and the first one wasn't even on fire. Although the second one was and the table next to ours definitely thought it was interesting. Unfortunately every part of the stew was nuked to death and flavorless. For 23 pounds it was really a disappointment. The price is not the issue, my usual place is Turquoise Kitchen in Pinner where prices are similar, but they put far more effort into their food. Our starters were delivered with two baskets of bread, which were barely touched for the starter but we had plans for it for our mains, however at the end of our starters the serving staff took our bread away for no explanatory reason; likely destined for the bin as you can't re-serve it to another guest - what a waste. Considering we ordered two stews, that was the plan the bread. The sad irony here is if we were to order two portions of bread; we would have been charged for it yet they threw away the bread given for free with our starters. Notwithstanding, there was a large 16-top table in front of us. One of the ladies had a see-through outfit and was constantly in my peripheral vision and frankly, no one wants to see someones underwear and bum when having their dinner. In most establishments you'd be told to put your jacket back on or thrown out; yet this was seemingly acceptable here in a restaurant full of guests. We were hoping maybe - just maybe - the tea would save the night. Unfortunately the tea arrived with sachets of Tate and Lyle sugar and no Kitlama sugar. What a shame for a Turkish restaurant! The website describes Kappadocia as an authentic Turkish restaurant, but there was nothing authentic of what we experienced today and unfortunately at no point where we asked for feedback, but we noticed other tables were. Unfortunately our group wouldn't return here, even if VICE paid us to come and review it on the books! Worth mentioning the review before mine (by Eli) - is from our same 5-top. So make of this what you will (and some semblance of our lack of bias and differing opinions and tastes, I can verify he definitely enjoyed his mixed grill). Visit time/date: 7:15 / 9th November 2024 / 5 covers

Good service and a decent menu selection. The lentil soup was delicious, as was the meat, but the vegetable dishes were oily, especially the artichoke. It was a nice touch to be treated to some Turkish delight at the end. They have a window where they make shawarma for takeaway.

Very good food, very nice service.

Food tasted great and the portions were very generous. Went on a Saturday evening so it was very busy. The service was relatively fast considering how many people there were! Great if you like lively/busy atmosphere.

Very very very good place to eat Turkish foods. The portions are the biggest portions which I have ever seen, the waiters are very polite. And you should taste the İskender because they cook it better than other restaurants which in Istanbul.

We had great time the staff are all so good we Had Mustafa surviving us and he does a great job

Lahmacuns are very nice. It never looked like Turkey. My friends loved it too. Thank you

Hi, I would like to give 10 stars to Mustafa, always best service, always communicate with the people.

T bone steak on Wednesday night is a MUST TRY. One minor thing, the smoke from the semi-open kitchen made my coat smell like grilled.

I took my wife today for her birthday … I must say the restaurant is worth every penny. The service from Haci ( Manager) was exceptional.. he went above and beyond to make sure we are happy with the service . He’s a good guy ! I will definitely return very soon !

Our favourite spot. I cannot praise it enough. The customer service from the staff is super amazing. My husband and I love this place 😍

Great place!!! Delicious food!Just the" cold meze" i think is small for 4 adults!

Delicious! Ali served us and recommended the best food, I will be back for the ginger chicken and virgin colada 😍

We have been coming here for years and absolutely love it! Literally the best place to eat authentic turkish food.

Great food, great service. Was served by Mustafa. Will be coming again!

I've been here so many times and I've never had a bad meal. The food and service are exemplary. I highly recommend the set menu, I guarantee you won't finish it, but you'll love every bite and the left overs for the next day! Honestly, this is always a 10/10.

One of the greatest places with traditional turkish cuisine. Especially I’d like to mention Rahim – the friendliest and attentive manager.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Try the chefs specials for a real taste of authenticity.

Excellent place and delicious food.

My family and I regularly come for lunches and dinner here as well as takeaway for the lahmcun, the food is always brilliant and the service is fantastic too - thank you Rahim!

It’s very nice restaurant, good service, delicious and fresh foods, friendly staff, amazing ✨ I recommend it, try and test 👍

I really liked the restaurant🤩 Delicious food, Super service!!! Rahim especially provided very professional service. We often visit this restaurant with our family.

Deliscious food, nice and clean place staff was lovely. A special thank you to Rahim and the Manager excellent customer service highly recommended restaurant 🥂🙂

Can't recommend it enough - from tasty food to customer service(shoutout to Oliver ) Thank you guys .

My friend and I visited for the first time for a drink and a light lunch before going to the cinema. We were given a very warm welcome by Hass. The restaurant was spotless, the service was very good, the food was well presented and tasted delicious and there was melodic instrumental music playing in the background. All in all, it was a extremely pleasant experience and we will make a point of returning. Highly recommended.

Food The best Turkish food in England. The team's chef Hasan Bey's attention and food suggestions were amazing. Everyone who wants to taste real Turkish cuisine should try it. Number 1:) Thank you Has

Hass was brilliant! Thank you. The service and food is simply out of this world and I would highly recommend.

First of all the people who serve us are so polite and friendly. Specially Hasan. And also fast and clean serving us. And food quality is the best taste and big portion. Won’t regret if you eat here. Highly Recommend!

Been coming for 6 years, food is always great; we never come away feeling unhealthy! Great service from Hass and the team.

I’ve been a regular dinner for years and always thoroughly impressed with the food! Each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented, which were both delicious and fresh. What truly stood out, though, was the staff in the takeaway section. They are friendly, efficient, and ensured my order was served perfectly and timely . Their attention to detail made the experience even better. Whether dining in or grabbing a takeaway, I highly recommend Cappadocia for an excellent meal and top-notch service!

Amazing food. Hands down one of the best. Hass provided great service. Overall an amazing atmosphere and experience. 10/10

Nice food ! Excellent service ! The best take away especially the chef 🧑‍🍳 Oliver

Wow this was my 1st time in here and the food and drinks were amazing . The atmosphere was so chilled. We will be back again .

Amazing food and service. Special thanks to Hass for his outstanding care. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great food and great customer service . Thank you Hass .

We had a lovely lunch food was great and our waiter Hass was very attentive.

Excellent service from Hass. Excellent food also.

Delicious food and great service from Hass. Excellent situation right opposite Kingston station. Will definitely go again.

Highly not recommended. The service is awful. The food quality less than expected.

Mustafa was great the food was really nice and we enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend. Lamb shish was nice and flavourful.

Food was absolutely georgeous.Service was top notch.10 out of 10.Hass was looking after us.He is very friendly and professional.Thanks we will come back for sure.

Delicious food, good range of choice and a lovely atmosphere. Our waiter, Mustafa, really looked after us and we will definitely be back!

mustafa was amazing lovely service..best food ever

Vary nice service from Mustafa … nice and fast will visit again ✌️

The most known Kingston Turkish food option trying to compete with the other Anatolian food newcomers to town. The food is delicious and intelligently priced with the right lunch menu. The decor is rather outdated hence the 4 stars. I ordered sea bass thanks to our waiter Mustafa’s suggestions. I am not a sea bass person, yet this was really tasty. Thank you again Mustafa for insisting on it. Lentle soup was delicious as well, it made us think why don’t we drink more often this amazing soup. It is definitely a gem espically in colder winter days. We’ll have our eye on the lunch menu for the coming months.

Ok but not special. Food was fairly bland and dry, especially commented by our party who had lamb shisha

A real taste of Turkish cuisine. Tip hat to Haci on his recommendation of wine - complimented the dish perfectly.

Excellent food, great service and lively atmosphere

Amazing food and service. Whether you dine in or take out ! Limut was very helpful in suggesting different food options , ty!

We had the hot meze for2+ people starter, main and desert for£28 per person,it was delicious would highly recommend this restaurant ,we visit regularly,great service.

Excellent food but even better service from Mustafa. We wanted to be in and out in an hour and he kept an eye and made sure. All with a smile and good humour.

The food is okay, but the service is terrible. I asked for the bill, the price for the kebab plus ayran was £24.50, I asked for it to be rounded up to £27, then I saw that the service charge was included. So I asked for a correction at the terminal, and the waiter looked at me and started talking to his friend when I was leaving. With this approach, I recommend going back to grazing sheep and not serving customers. I won't come again.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Capadocia Restaurant, and I must say it was an great experience from start to finish. Nestled in a charming location, Capadocia offers not only a delightful atmosphere but also a culinary journey that transports you straight to the heart of Turkish cuisine. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming ambiance that set the tone for the evening. The decor beautifully reflects the essence of Turkey, with its elegant furnishings and atmospheric lighting, creating a cozy yet sophisticated dining environment. Now, let’s talk about the food! Each dish we ordered was a testament to culinary artistry. The menu features a wonderful selection of traditional Turkish dishes, and everything we tried was bursting with flavor. The mezes were a perfect start; I highly recommend the hummus and the stuffed grape leaves. For the main course, the lamb kebabs were tender and juicy, incredibly flavorful, and cooked to perfection. We also couldn’t resist trying the baklava for dessert, which was a heavenly end to our meal. What truly elevated our experience, however, was the remarkable service provided by the restaurant manager, Hass. His attention to detail and passion for hospitality were evident throughout our visit. Hass was not only attentive and knowledgeable but also genuinely enthusiastic about the menu, offering insightful recommendations that truly enhanced our dining experience. His personal touch made us feel special and appreciated, and it’s clear that he takes great pride in ensuring that every guest has a memorable time. Overall, Capadocia Restaurant is a gem that stands out for its delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and top-notch service. Whether you’re a fan of Turkish cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is a must-visit. A huge thank you to Hass and the entire team for making our evening unforgettable. We can’t wait to return

Best restaurant in Kingston.I had a very scrumptious mixed grill.The atmosphere was great.Hass,the waiter was amazing and he delivered excellent service.He is very professional and has a good communication skills. I highly recommend this restaurant.

an exceptional dining experience. The service is outstanding, and the Turkish cuisine is always delicious and authentic. I’ve been satisfied with every visit and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal.

Been here many times before and always welcomed by the manager, Haci, and all staff. Haci always remembers us when we come in, which is really lovely. Great service and great food, everytime!

Very good Turkish restaurant right opposite Kingston mainline train station and there is also a bus station and Fenwicks formally Bentalls or John Lewis parking all 5 minutes walk away. Plenty of room and lots of windows so your not left in the dark and also has outside take away seperate from main dining area. This part very popular with night owls who wish to go for a drink or two but not on an empty stomach and when you've finished a kebab on the way home.

Some of the best Turkish food I’ve had outside Turkiye. The staff were so friendly and happy to help! Would definitely be coming back to try more tasty food and work my way through the menu.

We have lived in Kingston for years and this was the first time we had been to this restaurant, but certainly not the last!! Food was excellent, service great and the baklava was just as expected The Monday 2 course special was a pleasant surprise too. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. Sharon

Overall, the Restaurant is not just a place to eat — it’s a destination for anyone looking to savor authentic Turkish flavors, accompanied by world-class service. We will definitely be returning soon! Thanks Hagi ( Manager) for exceptional service

Great food, good serving size, might be a bit noisy when it gets too cramped in the evenings.

The restaurant itself is depressing, white hospital lighting is used whilst the chef’s in the takeaway side have nice yellow warm lighting… The food was tasteless, expensive and not worth it at all. It also took ages to come, moody waitresses who were bland and blunt. £130 for 3 people is ridiculous especially when it’s not up to standards. Won’t be going here again.

This is one of fhe best restaurants in London. Service team is very kind and genuine to help us getting the best experience visiting the restaurant. The food is absolutely amazing. Although we live in Kent, every couple of months, we travel to Richmond area where we used to live and eat at Cappadocia restaurant. This is our family tradition of awarding our selves with the delicious feast. Strongly recommend traditional Turkish dishes like Lahmacun, arnavutciger, manti, Alinazik, doner.

it's our third time here. recommended! if there are no pictures on the menu, so just google the photos online 😂 my fav is the salmon (cant remember the full name)

We come to Cappodochia in Kingston regularly as we just love quality of the food & the portions too! I always go for chicken Shish as it’s amazing the way it’s cooked to perfection 👌 My other half loves the mixed grill & my son use to have children’s chicken skewers but now has same as me! The service is always so welcoming & efficient with relaxed atmosphere & Manager Hac is always on the ball. We have also been on belly dancing night which is great fun too!

Mr. Mustafa, who serves, is very polite and provides good service. We ate roasted hummus, Albanian liver and iskender, they were all delicious, thank you very much.

Excellent food, value for money and service particularly from Hass. We're sorry we haven't visited before, will definitely be returning.

Mustafa was an excellent server great service and great food I will be back for sure.

friendly service ,very clean room ,amazing atmosphere and very professional attitude from one of the who served me today -Mustafa .!

The guys on the take away specially Mustafa are amazing

Delicious lamb shanks washed down with Efes lager. Enormous lamb rib eye steak with very tasty spinach and chips included. Efficient table service and waiter service by Hass. Pistachio tiramisu to die for. What's not to like?
