Kapadokya Restaurant

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.
