Kappadokya in Lewes

Faultless from start to finish. Great service, fantastic food and a lovely experience. Will definitely be coming back.

Family-friendly restaurant. Amazing menu of Mediterranean cuisine. Suitable for vegetarians. If I could, I'd rate it 10 stars. Very clean and newly decorated, garden terrace too, will definitely come again.

Amazing restaurant! Delicious food, friendly staff excellent service. Highly recommend.

Delicious food and great service Thanks a lot 🙏

Food was amazing and Daniela is so good a waitress. Thank you

All of the above but most of all brilliant staff

We've been visiting Kapadokya restaurant for a few months now and the food is always amazing. Fresh and tasty. The service is great, friendly staff and always helpful. Very clean restaurant and there is a parking in front of it or on the side of the road. They have done a beautiful garden as well. I can't for the sunny days to come. 10/10 on everything! We will be visiting again and again. 💯

Been a few times now.highly reccomended. Food is great.service very good.

We did take away. Food was great. Good variety with vegi options and kids menu. Highly recommended 19 Dec 23 Dinner with friends eating in. Excellent service, lovely atmosphere, helpful staff

I have eaten in this restaurant a few times and last night tried a takeaway. Every experience has been a huge success; the takeaway no less! Fantastic care and attention to detail with fabulous (hot, fresh) authentic food. This is a total quality outfit - highly recommended.

Fantastic authentic Turkish food and hospitality. First time there but definitely won't be our last. So delicious!

Both times now have been an excellent experience! Fantastic food, super friendly staff and a beautiful setting with soft music.

A great place , we will be back

Just got home from a lovely meal here, will be coming again. Lovely food and friendly and helpful staff.

Food was very good and the staff were absolutely lovely. Amazing experience

A lovely place to dine out, friendly staff, prompt service, great food. We had a work leaving party here and it was great, there were children there and a big enclosed garden for when the weather is nice. I would highly recommend it.

Absolutely brilliant food, really friendly service, nice ambience, wine excellent and reasonably priced Such a lucky find. Actually writing the review before leaving the restaurant a very happy customer!

Lovely restaurant to eat in and the take aways are awesome too.

Amazing food and the sweetest staff, 10/10 recommend! ❤️

Nice place, friendly staff, and delicious food.

Been twice absolutely beautiful, dined in amazing taste to food, well done team

Can not fault anything we had. Food was tasty. The staff very polite. Loved it all

Brilliant food and service. Such fresh food for a reasonable price. Highly recommend

I loved this place, delicious Turkish food served with great Turkish hospitality. This very young owner's efforts to satisfy everyone is unbelievable. Welldone "Young Turk*, keep it this way

Lovely food, friendly and attentive staff, highly recommended

After winning and dining for 70 years In Brighton,it was a delight to find this restaurant in Telscombe.The food is amazing and the service I could not fault.A couple of little add ons would make it perfect as in maybe candle light to each table and definitely finger bowls.Thankyou for an amazing experience.

A very modern, elegant and fine Mediterranean cuisine. Highly recommend!

I really like this place. The food is excellent. It's nice to visit a mediterranean which has authentic cruisine. I like the spicy sausage and halloumi as a starter and then either the kebabs or moussaka. The service is excellent, very welcoming and smiley.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung und gutes Essen.

Went here on a Thursday night- the service was good, the food was good, and the pricing was fair. Got parking on the premises and enjoyed the salmon and tzatziki starters before a lamb casserole and a chicken main. My partner and I would highly recommend here and will be going back!

Love this place and love the food. Certainly an improvement on the Wimpy Bar!

We visited for my husbands birthday for the first time today. The food was delicious and fresh and the service was amazing. Very friendly from start to finish. The venue has been beautifully decorated and we will visit again. Thank you for our lovely meal.

We went in June, booking in advance, and we were seated promptly on arrival. The restaurant was busy. It's split into two loosely connected seating areas. The front of house, north facing area was full. We were in the rear facing south side which was softer lit and projected an intimate atmosphere. We shared a cold platter starter (which was listed as for two but the kitchen scaled it up to three adults plus one fussy adult with a tiny appetite). We similarly then had a scaled up main course mixed meat platter. It was fantastic. The meats were all perfectly cooked, and the side dips/gravies/sauces were varied and tasty. A house red wine was paletable and, again the staff were more that happy to create a couple of non alcoholic cocktails from the tee totalled in the group. We had tap water with our meals and that wasn't added to the bill. It isn't cheap. But, did we get value for money? Absolutely. We will be returning.

So, this place has been open for a few months but has yet to get an established client base, but don't be deterred from going. We visited as a group of 4 and when we arrived we were the first ones there. This meant we were fortunate to have the full attention of the staff and experienced great service. We each tried a different starter and main - I had the sea bass - and all really enjoyed it. Following the wine recommendation, we tried a Turkish wine for £21, which went well with the food and felt like a decent price. Definitely one to try, especially if you want a break from the city centre.

Just 2 of us out for an anniversary meal, so we thought we’d try something a bit different and new to the area. Ordering drinks was straightforward- but took a little time to come. The food ordering was good with advice on allergies. The meal in itself was amazing. We shared a cold meze platter which was delicious. It was a shame our mains came before we had finished the starters so no time to digest in between. Husband had the mixed grill which was perfectly cooked - chicken wings, a couple of different kebabs and Turkish sausage. I had Chicken Beyti Sarma - stunning, just couldn’t eat it all. Took my leftovers home. There were no desserts or coffee offered so presumably that’s not on offer. Shame about the feeling of being rushed, but maybe , as they’re a fairly new business, this is something they need to address.

First time dining at this restaurant. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The service was excellent. We had the squid to start with which was so soft, moussaka for our main which was so delicious and then the raspberry sorbet which was really smooth and full of flavour. An excellent dining experience and a lovely restaurant with smart decor to sit in.

Hadn't booked, they did squeeze us in. Great food, tasty pudding. Staff friendly, nice place. Big car park near by.

Super delicious and good amount of food, must try their Kunefe!!

Very good Turkish restaurant with a good atmosphere and good quality, I recommend !

A marvellous restaurant serving nice and exciting Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine by friendly and attentive staff.

this restaurant has been on the lewes road ready to open for nearly two years during which time it changed from Afghanistany to Turkish so on seeing it finally open wished to dine there. the food was high quality for both courses starter and main all of the group felt full after the main we did not try the sweet course there was a reasonable choice of drinks both alcoholic and soft plus the normal teas etc, there is also choices of cocktails from the bar. - the food came quickly but the service could defiantly improve being asked to past food down the table or just dropped down on the table it was only one server who may have been the owner and with only three tables to work early in the evening it felt rushed - so food really tasty but needs to hire a waiter

Lovely charcoal grill food with generous portions, especially the sharing plates.

Slow service, staff seemed to be struggling with full restaurant. Waited along time for food to come out, and 1 meal had to be returned due to steak being really fatty and not cooked how asked. Would definitely give it another try. Food presentation was good. Very loud in there, could definitely do with some acoustics to dull the background noise as its a square room with no decoration.

We were standing in pouring rain and pleaded with the staff to use a toilet offering to pay, or even to sit down and make an order, but were met with refusal and smirks. If you are a local maybe this is a good place, but as a traveller don’t expect friendliness.

Awesome, the food and service are first class. Margaritas are the best you'll find this side of the Atlantic and the food is the best you'll find this side of the Aegean. Top notch.

Excellent food and very attentive staff. Great atmosphere too!

Great place, went there for my birthday for the second year in a row, the food and atmosphere is amazing and the staff made me feel really special for the evening, bringing out a candle in my dessert and getting the whole restaurant to sing me happy birthday. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Amazing meal as ever. We asked for the 3-4 person sharing platter which comes with a cold meze starter platter. Asked if they could change one of the cold platters to swap it for the hot starter and they did this without charging us!. See the pics below- we got 2 plates of the grilled meat ive only posted one pucture of it. Portions huge and enough for 6 actually. Bill only came to £100 which fir a meal out these days is great 👍

Fabulous food and surroundings not cheap but worth every penny.

We always order takeaways from Kappadokya and it’s always been amazing, the portion is very good too.

We booked a table here tonight and were welcomed as soon as we arrived and shown to our table. The starters were delicious, so were our mains. We had no room left for dessert. Best meal we have had in a long time. We will definately be returning, thank you!

Everything was fresh, tasty and full of great bbq flavours. Meat was perfectly cooked. Staff were very friendly and made sure we had a great time. Lots of choice in the menu and beer on tap.

We had a lovely meal here with service that was quick without feeling pressured.

First time at this relatively new Turkish restaurant. The food was really gorgeous and very generously portioned. The service was attentive, polite and friendly. Plenty of parking space front and back. The only disappointment for me was the decor. It was beautifully clean and comfortable but completely colourless. Grey and beige with green plants. H’mm, it would really help the ambience if if there were beautiful Mediterranean colours on the walls, a few pictures or posters. Some wonderful Turkish art influence. Also the overhead lamps were those horrid industrial style. How about some of those beautiful Middle Eastern style lamps instead? Just a thought, especially as there is a garage directly opposite so beautiful distractions in the restaurant will keep customers happy. Did I mention that the food is wonderful!

Really nice food but I just can't understand why tsansiki and other dips you'd traditionally be served on the side Mediterranean food aren't free. I'm greek and have been to my fair share of Mediterranean restaurants and it's standard. Pita bread with a side of garlic dip just isn't the same. That minor annoyance aside, this place is lovely and I can't wait to visit again.

Brilliant food great service highly recommend

Had a lovely evening with friends. Good food and excellent service.

Absolutely delicious food and attentive service, highly recommended

Absolutely delicious food!! The restaurant was clean and a great atmosphere. Staff were also very nice.

Food is amazing and staff are wonderful, go above and beyond to ensure you enjoy your evening. Look forward to returning soon

First visit to this amazing Turkish restaurant and we shall be returning regularly! Service was perfect, food was divine, and the place was buzzing 😊

Very friendly, efficient service and excellent food. We had a really enjoyable meal and will definitely visit again. Highly recommended.

First visit and food staff and service was excellent, we will be back

Just had a fantastic meal with good service! The meat was soft and succulent, the taste was amazing, the food presentation was beautiful. Gluten free options available. Staff were friendly. The whole experience was fantastic. Really impressed with the whole experience. Will definitely go back again!

Had a great meal and time at Kappadokya. Food and Service was excellent.

Way over rated Very disappointed after seeing good reviews Cold starter 2 bits of chicken on mixed grill £3.70 for a coke Suited and booted get better service Slow service. Gave up waiting for bill after 20 minutes

Had a very enjoyable meal with friends on a Saturday night. Lovely food and great atmosphere.

Brilliant food, fantastic, friendly service.

A real gem of Mediterranean cuisine just outside of Brighton. The place in new and welcoming, the service is excellent and the food is extremely good. There is a large variety of choices and the quality is extremely good. Will certainly come back!

Incredible food and very nice people, highly recommend.

As a Vegetarian with multiple food allergies, it is sometimes quite difficult to have a nice meal, especially as a take away. Kappadokya have exceeded all expectations and shuffled their dishes around to accommodate me, providing a delicious and sumptuous meal, every single time that we order from them. The portion sizes are brilliant, the food itself is outstanding for its quality, freshness and flavour. I can't say enough good things about everyone that works there either. If I could award them six stars, I certainly would. Thank you all. J. Curtis.

This was my first time here, the place is so clean, the food is very tasty, and the staff can’t do enough for you, fair prices by the sea, will definitely recommend and come back again thank you Kappadokya 5 stars ⭐️

Such brilliant service from fantastic people. Nothing was a problem. Food was outstanding. We had 2 young girls who were diners that sang us Christmas songs all evening with beautiful voices. An added lovely extra.

Our first time for take away, and we’ll gladly be back. Was delicious

Absolutely delightful food, served in a bright, airy, relaxed environment. The lamb I ordered was cooked to perfection, with a hearty portion of bulgur rice that was incredibly flavourful. Service was impeccable and prices were reasonable for the quality of the food.

Love coming here for lamb shish or mixed grill.

Excellent Turkish food, stylish venue, good service.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meals and want to try more from their menu. Service was great and will definetly be going back again. Highly recommend!

My husband and I tried this restaurant on Saturday night and really enjoyed it, food was great and the staff are lovely will return again.

Lovely food, atmosphere in the restaurant is a bit chilly.

Absolutely hands down the best restaurant in the area. So good, we went there twice in our vacation. Good menu, the chicken shish was incredible. Although I preferred the white rice to the bulgar rice it comes with. You will not be disappointed

Great meal and attentive staff. Service not bad, they were busy and it was served promptly and hot.

Lovely Turkish restaurant. Great food, just like being in Turkey.

Very nice food , reasonable price . I had lamb sheesh my partner had chicken sheesh , she was over whelmed to say the least

Lovely evening very attentive staff. Delicious food. Amazing cocktails.

Great food and service as always

Really friendly staff and tasty food, place looks nice too

Great service even with close to full house. Food was very good, tasty and hot when it was served at the table very nice.

Celebrated my 70th Birthday here with my kids and grandkids. Excellent food and service - thank you

Really great food ! Nice, clean and really friendly staff. We all enjoyed the food.

We've been trying to visit this place and today we finally did. The food was EXCEPTIONAL! Honestly, one of the best I had in a while (We've ordered two starters (Prawns are to kill for!) and two dinners (perfectly grilled sea bass); all dishes were great, and we received free olives and delicious bread too). It seems like there will be a garden space soon, can't wait. The customer service was also superb, very attentive and nice.

Third visit here and boy has it gone down! In May we had set meal for 4 and far too much to eat. Yesterday we were served our main before starter as they had been given to wrong table so served our main anyway as they 'didn't want to waste food'. When they brought starter in was just plate of dips with no bread-told that was extra! Don't know how we were meant eat them. In May we had much more selection on the starters ie calamari. Sausages cheese straws, falafel, vine leaves and chicken and lamb kebab on the main. This time only one lamb kebab on main. Price has increased by 20% and quantity of food only 2 thirds of previous. Also I informed the waitress Im allergic to peppers but were served them in three seperate items. Didn't have this problem before and they were able to meet my dietry requirements with no problem and we had an amazing meal. So disappointed this time and at end when we told waitress the how disappointed we were all she said was she hadn't charged service charge! Feel this was total waste of money. Won't be going back anytime soon.

Very rude. Called to ask if they had any free tables and the gentleman answered with "no we are too busy, I don't even have time to talk to you". And then put the phone down.

Great service, clean restaurant and very tasty food at reasonable prices. Will repeat.

Super meal and plenty of it . Would be great if we could have sat outside in the back garden, however nit set up for that . Staff brilliant 👏

The food was lovely, the staff were superb, made us very welcome and setting was great. Thanks to all the staff for making my wife's birthday very special

Absolutely delicious (chicken shish).. The Turkish white wine was a taste sensation too, very crisp. Fabulous service and gorgeous ambience. Would highly recommend and shall definitely go again.
