We had a fantastic lunch at this wonderful Turkish restaurant in Littlehampton! The food was absolutely delicious—authentic, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was fresh and well-prepared. What made the experience even more special was the amazing hospitality. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. We had our 1-year-old son with us, and even though he can be a bit noisy at times, they were so kind and patient with him. They even took the time to interact with him, which made us feel really comfortable and appreciated. The warm and inviting atmosphere, combined with excellent food and service, made for a perfect dining experience. If you're in Littlehampton, I highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Amazing food, great prices and friendly staff. Great venue to celebrate a friend's birthday. It's a shame to see the space nearly empty but it was a Tuesday evening. Lighting could be improved but the staff turned lights on when asked. Hope to see this restaurant stay around, the menu has lots to offer and drinks are very reasonable. Cocktails could be improved slightly, but would recommend visiting if you want to try something new or have a new regular restaurant with friends.

I made a last-minute reservation at the Istanbul Kitchen and was a little dubious to start off with. I was pleasantly surprised. The food is very authentic. The meat quality was very good too which is refreshing. Tender, succulent and cooked perfectly. We had the humus, sucuk and borek starters, a platter for two and the meatballs. Very good quality. As another reviewer said it is a little on the cooler side in there which is true but I think pleasing everyone with room temperatures is never easy. I had two cocktails which were okay.. my only complaint is that they didn't pack a punch as cocktails should. Overall great experience and highly recommended.

A really lovely restaurant in Littlehampton Town. We went for an impromptu dinner 22/8/23 at about 5.40pm. They had tables available and we were seated straight away. The food was delicious. Kids meals are 7.50 but include a drink AND 2 scoops of ice cream for dessert!! Much to their delight! Our kids are 3.5 and 6 and they could have shared actually as the portions are generous for kids (they each had the chicken wrap and chips meal). I had 4 starters for 15, which wasn't enough instead of a main but I had half a wrap from my daughter, by which time I was full. Hubby had the nachos starter for 2 but it was a main for him and 'enough'. He gave it 5 stars as they loaded it with jalapenos for him!! Nice decor, warm and friendly staff who are attentive and put up with children and their unpredictable behaviour very graciously (Thank you for that and apologies again for the knocked over plant pot! Cringe!!). We'll definitely go back if we're in Littlehampton again.

Stopped here today for a light bite, had a 2 x 1/4 cheeseburgers, a diet coke and half efes beer, staff were attentive and quick to prepare food and drinks, sat outside and people watched. Bill was 16.70, very reasonable.

Evening meal with my husband on a quiet Thursday evening. The food was so delicious and so plentiful. The waitress so helpful and friendly. Compliments the chefs for the beautifully presented and flavoursome food. So glad we went. I am using my husband's phone to write this review as when I entered a review on my own phone I accidentally sent it unfinished with mistakes !
