Anatolia Turkish Cuisine is a Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant and meze bar at 51 St James’s Street in Brighton’s Kemptown. Its cosy dining room provides a welcoming setting for a meal based around fresh, traditional cooking and dishes shared across the table.
Cold meze include hummus, cacik, stuffed vine leaves and şakşuka, while a mixed selection brings several tastes together as an easy starting point. These small plates pair naturally with bread and work equally well before a grill or as the foundation of a lighter meal.
Charcoal cooking is central to the main courses, with lamb shish, chicken shish, adana köfte and lamb chops served with rice and salad. Fish and vegetarian dishes such as falafel, imam bayıldı and grilled vegetables broaden the menu beyond the meat-led combinations.
Baklava and künefe offer a traditional sweet finish, supported by wine, beer and soft drinks. Reservations and takeaway are available, and guests with allergies or dietary requirements should confirm current ingredients and preparation with the restaurant before ordering.
