The Villa Restaurant (Turkish Villa) — Restaurant in Great Britain

What an absolute gem!! I rarely take my time to write reviews, but I felt compelled to write this as I was EXTREMELY impressed with everything I've ordered from this restaurant!

I've ordered via Deliveroo as I was in the mood for some Turkish food and believe me, I was not expecting it to be so exquisitely good! Everything that I've ordered was cooked to perfection and so extremely tasty!! I have never had such greatly cooked and seasoned food in the UK so far! I'm usually not a big fan of any kind of lamb dishes, but all the meats were cooked so well and tasted so good, I couldn't stop eating! Even the vegetables, the grilled peppers and the tomato had the best taste!! Wow!! Hands down the best restaurant discovery, and I'm not exaggerating by any means! Even the rice was absolutely delicious! I have no idea how they do it, but I'm blown away!! The portions are generous and everything was well packaged, they've included plastic cutlery and lots of napkins. Even the delivery was so snappy! I will definitely reorder and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants their taste buds to experience amazingly cooked Turkish food. Whoever is working in the kitchen, you are absolute stars!! I can't stop praising this place! It's that good!! I don't even care if people say the prices are too high as the food is beyond everything you'll ever expect! This instantly became my new favourite restaurant in the...

Regretfully I wanted to give this place a better review. However there isn’t enough love or care in their restaurant. They use cheaper cuts of meat which lack depth of flavour. I found a piece of cartilage in the minced lamb kebab. I don’t want to know which part of the animal is ground up to make the mince. The chicken used was the type that’s plumped up with water. The salad was given with a lemon that still had the sticker on it. If they put lemons in a salad that still have a sticker on it then how do I know if they washed the lemon before cutting it? The decor is tired. The music was good. I felt tired, heavy and bloated after eating the meat. I didn’t want to leave a poor review because it’s a small family run business however unlike other Turkish restaurants in Brighton which have similar prices, I don’t think that they respect their customers by not caring for the quality and care of preparation of their food. If they read this review I hope that they improve their service. On balance I won’t ever...

Used to be some of the best Turkish south of North London, fantastic, flavourful and massive portions.

Now the portions are miserly, the bread is like a rock, the lamb shish meat is chewy, lacks flavour and has a nasty smell. The kofte and chicken shish are okay but where it used to be 9/10, it is now 2/10.

Not to mention the miserliness for the sauce, not only do you have to pay £1.50 for it but you only get about 15ml. The chilli sauce does still taste good though.

I really hope you can sort yourselves out, you really had excellent food just a few months ago. Since the food went downhill, this is the 3rd time and last chance I have given this place for it to improve, we used to order every other week. Sadly the food appears to get worse every time...

Highly recommend anyone with any expectations or having eaten decent Turkish food to stay away from this place. Small portions, tasteless and...
