The Cave Kitchen in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Food was ok, service above average however it was very cold there.

Incredible food, speedy service and friendly staff.

Nice place, friendly staff. Good food. Happy days.

Quirky interior and friendly staff at The Cave Kitchen. Our friend who lives locally remembers it was formerly a fish and chip shop. Simply delicious food served with very fresh salads. Huge portions! Would have liked the chance of a 'smaller portion' - honestly one meal would have been plenty between two (or two meals between three) such a shame to waste food. The finishing touch was how nice it was that a member of staff opened the door for us as we left.

A great experience to find such a professional and welcoming authentic Turkish restaurant. Top quality, delicious and perfectly cooked food. Presentation and service excellent. Definitely worth a detour.

This is the second time I have been to the cave and both time's I have not been disappointed. The staff are so nice and friendly, really welcoming and the atmosphere is lovely inside. They have a great selection of food and drinks to choose from, I could sit there all evening trying to decide! The first time I visited I had the cave mixed kebab (first picture), it was a great size portion, So much colour on the plate and the flavours were amazing. The second time round I went for the lamb sarma beyti (second picture) and that was absolutely gorgeous, I couldn't get enough of it! I don't have any pictures of the starters or desserts but they were also brilliant. Cannot recommend the cave enough, It's one of my favourite spots local to me and I will always look forward to coming back.

I love it here! I have the Lamb Sarma Beyti and I can honestly say I’ve never tasted anything like it. The chilli sauce that they make is incredible, I mentioned that I loved it to the waitress and she gave me 2 pots to take home! You need to bottle that stuff up and sell it! Everyone is so friendly and the portions are huge. I would eat here every night if I could!

Great place to eat. Prices reasonable, waitress service was brilliant. I would definitely recommend this place to eat, drink and be merry

My brother and I visited here last Tue evening Wow what a gem The food, service and atmosphere was amazing. Will definitely return.

Selam aleyküm, this is Beautiful food and place. Excellent service with Mr Salim, he is kind and generous. He good customer service. Thank you for everyone making the food beautiful.

A cracking restaurant Excellent authentic food at reasonable price. Great dining room

Lovely find, just by following our noses from the Morriston car park. Beautiful food and atmosphere.

I had the rib eye steak & Sue had the corn fed chicken dish. Beautiful meals & nicely presented by friendly waitress. Clean throughout & parking is close by. Expensive food but worth the price. Thank you.

Lovely food, reasonably priced, not too busy

Had a fantastic meal here, and Sam was very attentive

For us, the best restaurant in the town by far. Large portions of excellent Turkish dishes served by friendly waiting staff and a great atmosphere in there. We now eat there regularly and it’s always consistently a great experience.

Visited The Cave twice now for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Food was extremely well presented, tasty and the lamb tender. Definitely a place to keep revisiting. 😀

You will not leave hungry!!! This was a fantastic meal! Thank you so much. Beautiful flavours, lovely staff and food that is just amazing. Now I’m gonna roll home.

We enjoyed a really relaxing group lunch here. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent- really tasty and well presented. Well worth a visit- I will certainly be back!

Wow what can I say this place is definitely a little gem 💎 it is hands down THE best Turkish restaurant I’ve been to 10/10. The food is absolutely stunning and the service exceptional nothing was too much trouble and the staff very very friendly, there is nothing that I can fault. This will definitely be a regular place with my family. If you haven’t tried The Cave yet do it you will not be disappointed!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved it great food friendly service what more could I want ABOSH

Absolutely amazing food. Friendly service as well.

The food was amazing , really enjoyed having liver done a different way but my husband had to help me out or I wouldn’t have managed the second course. We will certainly return again.

Stopped here whilst travelling with work. What a great restaurant, the food is delicious & beautifully presented. Such wonderful flavours. The portion size is generous to say the least. Just wonderful.

We called up to book was told they open at 5pm however I said if we could possibly get there 4pm could they help and the guy on the phone was very helpful and agreed we got there was seated and order taken drinks arrived fast and cold with some dips and bread was very nice. The mains arrived hot and looked amazing even the kids loved it and they was very helpful fron start to finish amazing service and food 😀

I love everything about this restaurant 🤩. Best lamb is miles. Friendly staff willing to go extra mile to cater for you, one of the best places to eat out 👌

Friendly staff, great food, and let me have red rice with my instead of the set rice. I can't imagine anyone leaving the Cave not full up as the meals are big!!

Fantastic food quality, generous portion size, loads of flavour in the food also, very friendly and happy staff. Easy to recommend and already planning next visit

Fabulous dinner here tonight. We felt very spoilt. Prices very reasonable and portions generous. The baklava was out of this world! I would highly recommend.

Lovely fresh food, really well presented. Nice waitress. Definitely recommend.

Lovely couples dining spot, very tasty food with generous portions and good value for money, extensive drinks menu and good atmosphere

Frist time but not over keen on the place. I found the meat a bit dry the salad was not to my liking and asked for a glass of tap water which came straight away but asked for another but not forth coming. Had the tiramisu but did not taste like tiramisu disappointed with it.

Fantastic food and service - can’t recommend highly enough

Really lovely place. Popped in on the off chance as a walk in. Got a table straight away. Staff were attentive but not pushy. Food was really good. Will definitely be returning soon.

First visit to the cave kitchen, we went at lunch time and it wasn't very busy. We had the mixed kebabs from the menu and they were lovely. Fresh salad and gorgeous warm bread on the table. Would definitely be coming back in the future.

The food was wonderful a bit pricey but I don't mind paying for quality....the building is quirky and tastefully done.Everywhere was clean.However I feel the service let down the experience.I had to ask to order ask for a menu and ask to pay.There were ample staff but they were too busy chatting.It definitely deflected from the whole picture as bad service is something I can't abide.For this reason I would not visit again.

We attended for a family birthday meal, and I just had to leave a small review about how good the food was. I am not usually a huge fan of Mediterranean style cuisine but this just blew all my expectations out of the water. It was so incredible, I mean the Tiramisu was otherworldly. Such a cute cosy environment too, and the staff are really attentive and very friendly. We had a wonderful time and I will be visiting again and have recommenced to wider family and friends.

We visited Cave Kitchen on Saturday and were absolutely blown away. The decor is lovely and contemporary, the staff were attentive, and the food was divine. I ordered a Ribeye steak cooked rare and it came out spot on - and the portion was huge! Our waitress had our drinks with us within moments of us requesting them and the food was also an acceptable wait. We found Cave Kitchen online and loved the look of it so booked a table despite needing a decent amount of travel to get there, but despite this travel we would definitely come back. Due to our travel we over estimated the journey time and arrived a bit early, but the staff did not keep is waiting and showed us to our table immediately. Thank you for a lovely pleasant evening, and for beautiful food!

Went in today for the first time, it was empty but it was a Thursday lunchtime. We sat down and were treated respectfully. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the food we had. It was fresh and well seasoned. We will definitely go again.

Fantastic staff and the food was amazing.

Amazing food and service. Highly recommended

Edit: it was a takeaway under my parents name. Nothing in my review is false. Thanks Expensive really for what it is. Nearly £20 for 6 chunks of meat, some rice and a small salad. The lamb is never great as it’s usually quite fatty so opted for a chicken shish yesterday. Chicken was nice, bread was ok-it was burnt last night. Unfortunately the worst part of the meal was a thick dark hair in the rice so couldn’t eat it. Very disappointing. Probably wouldn’t return sadly.

Amazing meal ! We had lovely food and the staff so lovely too ! Didn’t have to wait for long at all definitely going back thank you !

Really nice authentic Turkish cuisine. Lovely food and the service was very good. There was club style music playing throughout the meal, which was the only negative aspect from my perspective.

Top place, a hidden gem we stumbled accross. Look this place takes on London quality and smashes it out of the park. I have eaten well on life, this is high quality. The mezze is to die for the meat is really good. No need to think about it, must be a stand out place in a quiet market town. Wow.

One of the best meals I have had

Great food, with a friendly, efficient service

First time here last night, spur of the moment decision to go out. Quick search of google and this place popped up. We were not disappointed. Food was amazing and generous, neither of us could clear our plates. Really nice to see the chefs cooking over the hot coals as we walked in. We will be going back, especially for the Tiramisu!

Absolutely fantastic Mother's Day meal. Great food, great service and very lovely decor. Highly recommend.

Getting on the slightly pricey side but food is excellent, staff are nice all round.

A lovely datenight. Amazing food. Lovely staff and chill music with chill atmosphere. Highly recommend the lamb shish eskender and the Tiramisu, it's to die for! 5/5 Stars!

Excellent staff and food thank you

Had a fantastic meal at the Cave tonight, to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary,,fantastic food and service. Will definitely be going back. They gave us a fantastic dessert to share for our anniversary. Great people as is food and service 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Food really nice, the staff is lovely, had a great time there!

Greatly recommend the chicken shish kabab, best I've had. Might want to ask for no sweetcorn in the rice if its not your preference. Service is friendly and fast, atmosphere is calm.

Food surprisingly lovely. Cocktails really good. But staff slow. Could of drunk a few more.

Absolutely the best place to eat in Downham Market and surrounding areas. The portions are great, the staff are lovely and the flavours are insane!!! So much better than any place I have been to locally. Everything is bursting with flavour and quality

We love this place always a good atmosphere and not drowned out by music,the young waitress was very good and attentive ,the food was great as always

A very warm and welcoming ambiance with an outstanding service and beautifully presented high quality dishes and cocktails. The prices are reasonable, portions are generous with very little waiting time after ordering. It does get really busy in the evenings so I would recommend booking reservations over the phone. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and will 100% be returning.

Lovely food, honestly some of the best turkish food I've had (including within Turkey). Have now been four times, but the service has been odd 3 out of 4 visits. On our visit in January, very grupy waitress, didn't crack a smile, very obliviously poured wine and it went all over the table, not particularly courteous, placed meals in the wrong people etc. Will revisit as the food is that good, but the service leaves something to be desired and at the price point should be better.

Great food great service really friendly the food is all cooked fresh to order the calamari was perfect as was the mixed meat kabab all perfect.

Lovely meal and service, but like eating in a fridge!! Very cold room temperature wise. People on table next to us were cold too.Restaurant needs more than one heater in the middle of the room. Radiators were off too! This is the only negative and easy to sort out. Everything else is great.

I had the corn fed chicken shish and it was excellent! It also comes with lavash bread and a chilli dip and another dip. This is the second dish I have had from here and aside from it being incredibly filling, I got 2 meals out of it, it's incredibly healthy food. I would fully recommend this place to anyone!

Amazing quality of food and very good customer service. The decorations and decor of the restaurant is very nicely done and comfortable.

Lovely restaurant and the food was fresh , delicious and plentiful. The service was great, we were looked after and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Alot of confusion with meal choice and dishes served being told that was what was ordered when it wasnt best thing was the complementary warm pitta with chilli sauce and garlic sauces

Really really enjoyed eating here. We took the train from Kings Lynn having heard lots of great reviews from family and friends. We were not disappointed, the staff were extremely friendly attentive and helpful. The food was delicious. Looking forward to my next visit.

Lovely food and very good service, would recommend 👌

Its literally a cave architecture but a very beautiful one with warm staff. Food is very rich and affordable. I would recommend now and forever

Good food, not overpriced with authentic Turkish influence. Nice decor and lovely staff

Exceptional food, wait staff, and very clean kitchen! We will definitely be back. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

The food was nice, seems to follow a formula. Starters were very filling, so next time we might have a few starters and share as a main. Staff were lovely, gave us a doggy bag and some extra dips. Bit pricey, but isn't everything!

Another superb meal at The Cave! The Corn-fed chicken Shish was absolutely delicious. Friendly efficient service.

Excellent place to eat. I had the T bone steak, cooked to perfection and red wine at room temperature delivered to the table by the very attentive staff. I will return.

Four of us went out for a meal and it was truly amazing,everything from our arrival through to leaving was superb, the staff the atmosphere and the fabulous food. Would highly recommend a d can't wait to return.

Very obliging, good choice of food.

Food was great, however the young server was not. She got both orders wrong, first asking to clarify which one I wanted, and I had to point out that wasn't what I ordered. Then my husband ordered a lamb dish, and a chicken one was served. This was corrected by the kitchen staff but the new one arrive when I had almost finished. A bottle of beer was offered as compensation but he was driving so ghis was wasted. Then when we went to pay we were advised it was cash only. Again domething the young server had not mentioned. I had to wait embarrassingly while my husband went to find a bank.

Some really reliably delicious, fresh food that never disappoints. However, the service is also reliably dreadful. I don't think that the teenages hired to serve are to blame - they desperately need some proper training and management- the way they speak about customers entering the restaurant "Shove them on that table down there" - the handling of dishes and crockery - slapped down without care, glasses placed on the table with their fingers inside them, getting the orders wrong, leaving two guests without plates and cutlary when all the food has been delivered to the table - we had to ask to be equipped to be able to start eating. Clearing the table when everyone has finished, and then ignoring us for a full 15 minutes - until I had to go to them standing by the bar - to ask for service for desert and coffee. Dropping £180 on dimner in Dowmham Market should come with service competence. Once again, I don't blame the kids - but the owners really need to put some work into training and managing them so that they can do their work well..

Wow! Our first and certainly not our last meal. I would be surprised if you can eat a starter as well as the main course…servings flavoursome and huge!! We will be returning

Went there for a birthday meal and was not disappointed. The food was amazing, and the service was excellent. Will go again and if you haven't already been..... give it a go, you don't know what you're missing.

First time at the cave Amazing food Will return

Just had a tasty and beautifully presented meal at the Cave. Delicious food, friendly and attentive staff. Will definitely go again!

Amazing experience, delicious food, very generous portions.

Great food, great atmosphere and personalised service from Salim who showed a genuine interest for me and my family. Wish we were living closer so we can visit more often. Can't recommend highly enough!

first time visit to The Cave for my son’s birthday last night. Brilliant experience, staff very friendly and attentive and food excellent. Meat really tender and tasty, could not fault. It was quite busy being a Friday night, but service was very quick. Highly recommend and will be back.

Lovely restaurant been many times before. But this evening food was terrible tough lamb dry chicken. Won’t be coming back

Wow, we visited here whilst working in the area. We thought as the other reviews were good & we didn’t have anything else to go on we would give it a try. We weren’t disappointed, the food was amazing- we ordered way to much but we’re given a box to take the rest away with us so that was dinner sorted for the following night! The service was friendly & efficient. If I’m in this area again we will definitely visit again. I’d almost be tempted to drive the 2.5hrs just to come here. Well done team 👏

Lovely big tasty food. Well worth a visit. Very family staff too

Lovely staff and wonderful food. Would recommend highly 😊

Excellent food and large portions, I had enough chicken to feed a family. The chicken was perfectly cooked.

I honestly cannot fault the place. It's stylish, cosy, comfy and the service was brilliant. Everyone is happy and very welcoming. The food is delicious and surprisingly filling. I'm a fatty, let's not sugar coat it as I might eat this review. The portion sizes were enough to even satiate my appetite. Make the time to visit cave kitchen.

Great food great stuff Best Adana kebab I've had. Sam is great man Very professional service just love it Thanks 🙏

Lovely lunch. Lamb koftes were superb. Thoroughly recommend this place as the service was unobtrusive and polite, the background music fun and the decor quirky.

Food was excellent and the staff very attentive. Had a great evening there

Lovely service, lovely decor and lovely food

A very large tasty lunch Good service and it was very reasonable. Give it a try!

Food was delicious and very nice portion size.

Dropped in as we passed by village for tea. So glad we did. Excellent service food and atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Very welcoming place. Staff are lovely, always checking you have everything.

Friendly staff and amazing food (The lamb was the most tender I have ever had). Found this gem by accident and will definitely be going back.
