Ephesus Brighton is a Turkish restaurant at 80–82 Preston Street. The spacious, welcoming dining room is designed for everything from a quick meal to a longer evening with family or friends, with generous portions and traditional hospitality shaping the experience.

Cold and hot meze begin the menu with contrasting dips, vegetables, cheese and crisp fried dishes. Hummus and baba ganoush sit alongside other familiar starters, making it easy to assemble a varied first course for the table.

Charcoal cooking defines many of the mains, including chicken shish, lamb shish, ribs, mixed kebabs and large sharing platters. Oven dishes, seafood and vegetarian choices broaden the selection, while classic Turkish desserts and tea provide a fitting finish.

Mediterranean wines and other drinks accompany both the grills and smaller shared plates, and themed Turkish music evenings add another dimension on selected dates. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should confirm current ingredients and preparation practices with the restaurant before ordering.

Address: 80–82 Preston Street, Brighton BN1 2HG, England
