Istanbul Cafe in Worthing

The best fry-up in Worthing. Huge choice, perfectly cooked and lovely staff in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. They do the best fried bread I've ever had anywhere.

I can highly recommend this cafe set back a couple of minutes walk from the seafront. Went for breakfast orders while staying at the Premier Inn nearby. Friendly, and made excellent bacon sandwiches and a delicious egg and bacon baguette too. Has a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating as well

Lovely place. Friendly staff. The Turkish breakfast is delicious.

Really nice little cafe with great food, staff and prices.

Been to the Istanbul Cafe numerous time in the past and have really enjoyed the experience. However, today was disappointing and upsetting. Firstly, the chap who serviced us, got my daughter’s drink wrong, not major and was resolved quickly. Food comes and our order extras were all mixed up, so we had to spend time swapping food between plates. When there were only 2 people dining, getting our order correct should’ve been particularly hard, though apparently it was! When I went to pay they then informed me that their card machine wasn’t working and they could only take cash. This was the first time that they had mentioned this (not even when arriving or ordering). The bill for a child and adult was £26.00, which didn’t seem correct. They charged £2 for a very, very small portion of chips! They couldn’t even give me a receipt to let me check the bill. To rub salt into the wounds they had the cheek to tell me that my dog was not welcome back, because she was annoying other customers, oh, should say, there was only one other customer in the cafe, who was freaking my daughter out by scaring at her and kept on saying hello dog and scaring my dog, hence why she barked a few times. Apparently this was enough to ban our dog?! Very disappointed by their attitude and rest assured my family and I wouldn’t be returning!

I found this little gem on google. Having never tried turkish breakfast before i ordered the turkish breakfast (takeaway) and it was lovely! Cooked perfectly. The turkish sausage was so tasty and the eggs were just right. The feta cheese and jam is a nice touch too! I highly recommend

Only called in for a cappuccino, very nice. Friendly staff. Nice patio area out front to sit in the sun.

Stumbled across this cafe on a bike ride and wasn't disappointed. Good food, good value, really friendly staff!!

Absolutely love this place they have great food would definitely recommend

If you like the tast of fairy up liquid you’ve come to the right cafe 🍵 x

This little place reminds me of being on holiday abroad.The menu is basic and very well priced the food is good I would recommend to try this little gem as such a lovely welcoming place. Will be going back.

Really good safe place with very friendly people. Inside and outside eating with service. Give them some business they earn it each day. Open early with service through to around 4pm.

Of all the breakfasts we have experienced on our travels this is the best. There’s a very extensive menu and very reasonably priced. One of the few places that knows what a double espresso is meant to look like. Highly recommended and worth travelling for.

Lovely food and plenty of choice on menu Lots of different breakfasts and add ons A sunny spot outside to sit or sit inside Friendly staff But the bigger breakfasts could do with including a hot drink in the price as it becomes expensive

Very taste, very clean, friendly staff. Good Price, beautiful food, everything is perfect. I’m enjoy it. 👌🏼

Absolutely Appaling service the lady was so rude at the front and when we asked a simple question she just started barking at us .Won’t be coming here again

Lovely food, reasonably priced, friendly staff. Would recommend 👌

Living close by I was hopeful that this place was as good as I'd been led to believe. Sadly this wasn't to be the case, the sausages were tasteless and very pale, the eggs were slightly undercooked and the bacon was very salty. To be honest the hash brown was the tastiest item on the plate. The coffee however was lovely.

Great people, lovely welcome. Fresh hot food at terrific prices. Quite busy & not surprised, visited a few times & close to the beach, 1/2 way point on our walks.

Great food, reasonable prices and very friendly service...

Nice friendly staff and atmosphere

Good little cafe and well priced

Only stopped for a coffee But it was a lovely coffee Lovely staff and friendly And absolutely spotless (clean)

Small breakfast great value. Lovely people.

The breakfast was very tasty and hygiene is at the top level. The omlet was one of the best that I had so far in Wort hing

Good food and service as always

An all-time favourite! Great food, friendly staff and very clean! A true little gem of a cafe.

Small but friendly cafe. Reasonable prices and excellent food

Good food. Friendly staff. What more do you want?

Very friendly, very fair and consistent.. reccomend to all.

This place is spot on great staff , clean and great options from Breakfast to lunch and they also have a drinks license if you don’t want tea or coffee

Excellent breakfast including a perfect cup of tea. Friendly service too!

Best breakfast in worthing, really great service and food! I have been coming here for 20 years, I don't even live in Worthing anymore but when I come home to visit the family I always stop for breakfast at the Istanbul Cafe!!

Best cafe in Worthing. Lovely friendly staff. Great food. Go there a lot.

Having read good reports about breakfast at this venue, we made a spontaneous visit whilst in the area. No regrets! Alexa gave us a warm welcome and we pored over a breakfast menu that offered many options. We each settled on the full cooked breakfast with coffee. Service was quick and the breakfast delightful. It was a full plate, and the fried bread was perfect. We'll be back. Reasonable pricing too, great value for money.

Amazing breakfast, chef did well to provide 5 full English with different requests for us 😁 my daughter said it was the best fried bread ever

What a Lovely charming place , service is warm and friendly , the builders breakfast is highly recommended ! Great vaule for money , very tasty, perfect portion size Looking forward to returning soon

Ok. I'm a bit of a 'restaurant' snob and am rarely impressed with cafes. However, this place is an absolute gem! There's an extensive menu and everything is freshly cooked. It is clean and the staff are incredibly friendly and always cheerful! Any changes to the meals are never a problem and everything is beautifully presented. Over the years I think I've tried just about everything, but the breakfasts have always been a firm favourite - be warned though as they're really filling! Today though I had my all-time favourite, the chicken shish. As always, it was freshly cooked, tasty and beautifully presented. If you're ever walking along the seafront, take a detour - you won't be disappointed!

Lovely food but when I used there toilet he came in and smelt my poo and told me £2

Really lovely cafe, plenty of food choice. Staff really warm and welcoming. Quick, non rushed, polite service and extremely friendly. Highly recommend. Definitely be visiting again.

Nice little cafe. Really nice sandwiches, and the staff are really friendly. If we are around the area again, would definitely go back.

Decent and comfort place , variation of food serve a purpose

Nice cafe, does a decent soss egg an chips

The cafe has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are extremely friendly. The food tasted magnificent and was extremely good value, in addition to this they were served quickly and with clean plates and utensils.

Plenty of choices on the menu. We didn't have to wait too long. Very generous portions. Prices are very competitive. Polite friendly staff. Have been visiting here afew times lately.

Best breakfast in town! Still as good as ever

I have breakfast in this caffie and coffee ...allway fantastic....

Everytime I move around the country, I try and find a breakfast as good as the istanbul cafe. I have never been able to find it, and every time I come back to worthing, I have to go here to get my full-english fix. Best breakfast going, builder's breakfast is a highlight.

Very friendly and dog welcome. Fast food well cooked.

Warm welcome, lovely atmosphere, great food, varied menu and value for money, highly recommend for any time of day delicious servings have been frequenting for years and look forward to many more occasions

Beautiful full breakfast, cooked fresh, perfect staff. Lovely and close to the beach. Highly recommended ...

Excellent food, vg value & friendly staff. Very pleased that a friend recommended this cafe to us when we moved here.

Great breakfast and efficient, lovely staff.

Excellent food, coffee & vg service.

Had a great breakfast. Big portion and friendly staff

The food is delicious here. The staff are very friendly and the place is clean. A quick walk up from the seafront.

Very nice to meet up with friends have a chat in a relaxing friendly atmosphere with good food.

Very warm welcome. The food is great and the service was really quick. The Turkish breakfast is especially really good and the coffee is amazing. Cant wait to come back after lockdown.

Came here a few days before lockdown - great food with amazing prices - owner Suzan is super lovely and friendly. Would highly recommend.

If you live in Worthing or are visiting I would highly recommend this cafe. The inside is a bit small but the coffees and breakfast options are great. The staff are very welcoming and the prices are very reasonable for the portions you get.

Small portions and not very well presented

Bulk standard turkish cafe. Very limited space. Lovely people. All freshly cooked

Had a great all day breakfast here last Sunday. The prices are low and the food is good, there's a lot of choice for the breakfasts. Definitely recommend!

The service is so friendly and quick here, big shout out to the owner Suzan she looked after us really well. The breakfast options are really good and the coffee is amazing. Thank you Istanbul cafe for a lovely morning!

Very good place to go for a meal we always go there when we go to Worthing recommend it highly

Istanbul cafe is a great little place to get a cracking breakfast. Went here recently with 4 chums for a Saturday morning breakfast. The staff were lovely and couldn’t have done more to help. We all had something different, with two vegetarians easily catered for. Every plate was empty at the end. Excellent vfm too. Thoroughly recommend the Istanbul.

Great selection, decent pricing and friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor seating. Came for a morning fry up which was lovely. Would recommend.

First time in going there great food and cheap yes I go again.

Tried this cafe for the first time and glad I did. Friendly, quick service. Had the small breakfast which was great.

Lovely cafe, with friendly owners. Vegan & vegetarian breakfast options available. Please add a vegan sausage to the vegan & vegetarian breakfasts 😀

I had a nice cup of tea here this morning very clean. Nice sun trap in the afternoon I didn't eat but the food on the other tables looked very good I will definitely return Very professional team

Friendly happy and great sandwich.

Great local Cafe. Very attentive staff and perfect food. 👍

Love this place amazing food and staff are LOVELY X

If you are staying in Worthing or passing through and want a very tasty breakfast good value and very filling with friendly welcoming staff look no further. Veggie breakfast the best.

Lovely staff, amazing food, good prices

Great Istanbul breakfast, even found me some GF bread. Omelettes tasty. Cheerful prompt service. Good value. PS. Homemade baklava delicious!

Amazing costumer service, we are going every month for breakfast.

Super breakfast/ brunch. Friendly staff..

Lovely tasty grub, very friendly and helpful staff

Delicious breakfast, excellent service, lovely people Highly recommend.

Lovely service. Friendly staff. Really nice food apart from the sausages were cheap

Lovely full English breakfast... Recommended it...

Lovely people, great breakfast. Really wide choice on the menu (not just breakfast).Was recommended to us and have no hesitation recommending it to others if you want a good value, straightforward breakfast. Would point out that contrary to Uguraktepe's review on here it is cash only, no cards.

My family and me and my partner have been here plenty of times and not once had anything but superb food. The service is great, they are friendly and fun always smiling and nice. The food is excellent and everything about this place is awesome. I don’t write many reviews but I’m a local and this place is simply awesome. P.s the set one menu is unreal!

The food was very delicious. Prices are very reasanoble. They do not accept cash but that is ok. Homemade Turkish desert is worth trying. I checked the small kitchen while paying it was very clean and transperent.

Great place with really good food, and nice staff.

Lovely bearkfast, very friendly people

Friendly people, decent food and a good choice. Always a smile. If you want a good old fry up no problem but quite a lot more on the menu.

Excellent turkish breakfast,reasonably priced,friendly staff and great service ,i would recommend to everyone...

Took my teenage daughter here for brunch today. We sat in the outside seating area, with its comfy cushions. The cafe is situated next to a petrol station, but the outside seating area had a screen along on side that blocks that from view which is a good touch. Prices are very reasonable for Worthing. We had two very large breakfasts for just over a tenner. Food was tasty. Service felt a little slow but then we were already rather hungry when we arrived. The cafe accepts cash only, but there are cash points very nearby. I did try to pay by card (having not seen the large sign stating only cash was accepted 🤦‍♂️), and the staff were perfectly happy for me to dive off to get cash and return.

I have in the past been a regular customer of this cafe, and was always very pleased with the service, and decided, after a gap, to return for my lunch. Though there does seem to be some kind of communication problem, I was able to order my meal (a vegetarian breakfast). The coffee which goes with it was served fairly promptly, then there was a very long wait for my meal to arrive, and no explanation given why. When it arrived it seemed it was cooked in a hasty manner. Not all that good really. For the price I paid, £5.70 it wasn't really good value for money.

I have enjoyed one of their fab all day breakfasts on many occasions, so nice to sit outside on a sunny day.........would recommend

We recently went in for lunch, very friendly staff, nice outside area to eat. This was our first visit and wasn't sure what to expect. The staff were very attentive, our meals were cooked to order, arrived quite quickly and was good quality food.

I'm a regular at the Istanbul Cafe in Heene Road in Worthing, with the Istanbul Special Salad and the Istanbul Special Breakfast being my favourites. Always friendly staff, flexible menus, and outside space for sunny days. A little gem.

Having visited Istanbul Cafe many times, I can only say I have always had a warm greeting and delicious food. Have tried many different items on the menu and have never been disappointed. Also the cafe and kitchen are immaculate! This cafe is a real treasure just a block off the seafront.

We had a lovely breakfast here. There was a large choice of set menus, the food was cooked to order and the lady who served us was really welcoming and friendly. Really enjoyed it.
