"Lovely Mediterranean restaurant by the clock tower in Exeter city centre. Despite being a tiny little place the Dinosaur cafe is packed full of flavour. We have visited the Dinosaur cafe several times so we have dined in under the old and the new management and I can assure prospective customers, the flavour is still there bringing good fresh homemade flavours and aromas from Turkey including favourites dishes such as kofte (meatballs), Karniyarik (stuffed aubergine), moussaka among many others until you reach the desserts so make sure to try their baklavas for a right treat. Moreover, the staff we've met over the years at the cafe have all been fantastic, friendly (great with kids), kind and informative if you're happy to explore new flavours for instance if you're interested in tasting the specials of the day. I would not hesitate in recommending this restaurant whether you're dining in or taking the food away. Lovely little Mediterranean place in Exeter city centre."

Really delicious! Even the appetizers are big enough for a full meal. The café was also so quiet and relaxing.

Delicious food and amazing student discount!! Interesting tea choices the Turkish apple tea is sooo good. Central location, too, though the road outside's so busy the outside seating's kind of wasted. Got the Turkish breakfast and wished I had seconds

Great food and incredible service. This cozy restaurant is such a special place in Exeter. It is where my husband and I go to celebrate and always had the best experiences. The menu is the perfect size to expect that the dishes were mastered and wow they nailed! We're just coming back.

As a dinosaur lover, I was attracted to the cafe for the name. Staff were very friendly and there was a good choice of food for everyone! Such a good place if you want to try food from other cultures. I really enjoyed the almond cake which I tried for the first time and my milkshake was lovely. Would definitely recommend

We had a great experience at this wonderful cafe that serves delicious Turkish food. The interior is simple, but the staff is friendly and the dishes are tasty. The prices are also reasonable. We had a great time chatting with one of the staff members during our meal. We definitely recommend this place for a casual lunch.

Three of us visited for lunch last week. We all ordered different meals and every single one was fresh delicious. A really lovely, chilled out place with friendly, welcoming service for a leisurely catch-up with friends or a quiet solo lunch. Fantastic Turkish coffee, too. Next time we are visiting the South West we will definitely be sampling more on the menu!

Excellent, creative food. We tried a new dish one of the starters with lamb, feta and filo. Delicious. Also tried the lamb meatballs, which were also delicious. If you are looking for a different menu with well prepared food, this is a good choice. Attentive and friendly service. Had a nice chat with the owner ? about his visit to a small town near us in Southern Spain. Good wine choices house red was delicious.

Been means paying those guys a visit for a long time. I'm glad. The food is really incredible. My starter was Sucuk, Turkish sausage with Pittabrot. The taste of the sausage is simply beautiful. Upstairs; Moussaka. It was delicious, served with salad. I have to say that this is a completely inconceivable café/restaurant that is not pretentious from afar. Food, service and Turkish wines are really excellent. It's an absolute jewel in Exeter's food scene. The owner and the staff were friendly, the atmosphere relaxed. I can't recommend it enough, and we'll be back with friends soon. Book now!

I never knew this place existed until my friend introduced us here. Small café with Turkish, Mediterranean and English food, with friendly staff just outside the city centre The place also opens for dinner, but felt that the café is best for brunch or lunch! The first time with a Turkish coffee, I guess it and can have an option of little or no sugar. I had it without and really tasted smooth, but they will be granules on the floor if you never had one. Eating I got a Karniyary that really delicious and really good price in Exeter. My friends also enjoyed their meals where the meatballs and Turkish breakfast (and the good coffee should really visit here if you have a chance!
