Cappadocia Restaurant — Restaurant in South Norfolk

Hello to anyone reading this, me and my family recently decided to dine-in at Cappadocia, a Turkish Restaurant in Diss, Norfolk and upon arriving; we were instantly greeted by a approachable and friendly host.

We were then allowed to choose the table that we most preferred and this was despite not booking - bear in mind that this was on a busy Friday afternoon at around quarter to One, which was most likely the busiest time of the day; on quite possibly the busiest day of the week.

Right away, it was clear to me that there was an adequate level of hospitality in this restaurant.

After we sat down and had been there for a short while, I made some observations about my surroundings and the ambience of the place, which were, that...

From a visual standpoint, several aspects were on point, such as the choice of colour, the decor and also the general theme - which depicted Turkish culture correctly - the Cappadocia region in particular; which (I felt) was accurately portrayed.

It was definitely fitting, to have famous landmarks and other tributes to Cappadocia in frame, which set a certain tone; providing customers with a sort of 'escapism' feel as they dined.

The spacing in the restaurant felt appropriate, allowing customers that choose to dine-in, the chance to have their own privacy, at a comfortable (in my opinion) distance away from the other tables.

It also gives them a choice of whether they want to watch other customers that are present, enjoying their meals from where they are sitting, or not.

The last observation I made, was that the restaurant had a chilled, laid back feel (the ambience) which was evident, the behaviour of the other customers reflected this; as several of them engaged in conversations at their tables.

This highlighted the fact that they felt relaxed enough to do so.

After I had become familiar with my surroundings, the waitress came over to our table and all of us agreed to have the lunch deal, which consists of a three-course meal; for only £18.95 (each.)

An astonishing price!

The service was exceptional, the entrées came out shortly after placing our orders.

When we was finished with the starter, it was then subsequently followed by the main course and afterwards, the dessert (both the main course; as well as the dessert, came out in the same timely fashion as the starter.)

The food was completely delicious, the kofta was perfectly seasoned, it was melt in the mouth - mouth watering stuff; very good, above standard.

Exceptional quality for the price we paid!

Not to mention, it was grilled in view and all of it was fresh, which therefore, makes it healthy as well!

From my own experience, to further enhance the flavour and make the most of the starter (although it is already tasty enough) I suggest that you order the 'tarama' (taramasalata) and keep on the side, to be used for whenever you want to have it and then also, to be re-used as a dip; alongside the main course, later on.

(If you politely ask, you should be allowed to do this.)

Just for reference, my whole order included: the aforementioned taramasalata 'tarama' starter, followed by the 'adana' - lamb kofta main and lastly, the rice pudding for dessert.

This was a great introduction to Turkish cuisine for myself and also, for my family!

I absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone that likes to enjoy quality food, in a nice setting, for a cheap and/or affordable price!

Thank you for taking the time to read this review and I hope that you give Cappadocia, in...

ONCE again we went unbooked to our favourite Turkish restaurant in Diss, we walked in at 4,o’clock Saturday afternoon for the mother in laws birthday meal, the boss man made lots of effort to fit us in 👌 we had a two hour window as the table was pre booked for customers at 6 ! He split up tables and made it possible for us to have a superb meal for four ! Although the menu is not cheap in these hard times but you don’t mind treating yourself now and again and paying these prices as the food is delicious and the staff are major friendly 👌 great watching the hard working cooks cooking up the delicious hot food ! Could not fault anyone or anything about this fantastic local Turkish food ! Been here five times so far 👍 Mother in law paid this time 🤷🏻 well it was her birthday after all !!!! 🤦🏻😂😂😂😂 (I...

It was a pleasure to dine here. It was our first time trying Turkish food and we ordered a hot meze starter to share, which was outstanding, and two mains. The portions you get are more than generous and every part of the meal is well-thought out with balanced flavours. As it was my first time trying Turkish food, I ordered a main I had never tried before and it wasn’t quite to my taste. The chef personally came over to my table and asked what he could make for me instead, giving me some options that he felt I would like based on the preferences I mentioned. The food came out and it was absolutely beautiful; I was so grateful for the genuine concern all of the staff showed to ensure I left happy and full, having enjoyed my meal and experience. The service was absolutely outstanding and we will...
