"Had a very enjoyable meal at the Dinosaur Cafe. We had the kofte and moussaka both of which were very tasty. The accompanying salads and the homemade baklava were fantastic. It is very much home style cooking so better suited for those looking for a relaxed good value meal rather than fine dining. Service was very good and the food came out promptly which was ideal given that we were eating prior to a performance at the Northcott. We would definitely return."

There is no better cafe in Exeter! The home cooked food is brilliant, and the atmosphere is so relaxed and friendly. I highly recommend trying the Turkish salad.

Super little Turkish/Mediterranean cafe/bistro. Excellent home cooked Meze and main courses. Local beers and Turkish lagers. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Great value

Stopped here after arriving on the train from London for a late lunch. It was excellent! I'm sure if we lived locally, we'd come here often. Well-priced and delicious food. Lovely staff. A gem!

Just had a lovely relaxed lunch, so glad we found this place. We were visiting Exeter on holiday and found this on Trip Advisor. Had the sharing starter platter and moussaka and kofta meatballs for mains. The staff were lovely and chatty. Definitely recommend.

One of my favourite go to places for food!! Can't fault the food or the staff in this lovely little restaurant. Not too big so a really nice intimate setting for dates or a catch up with friends. A few of our favourites are the mixed platters for a starter and the lamb kofta. Would 100% recommend.

The restaurant offers a warm welcome and serves the best Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine around! It is always inviting and offers great value for homemade dishes in a wonderful atmosphere. I give it five stars. They even have simpler dishes for my picky eaters when dining with my family. Thank you. View menu

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.

Fabulous. Really enjoyed brunch here with my son for a late birthday treat. Not been here for a few years now, but just as good if not better than I remember. I had the lamb stuffed aubergine with the house salad, and my son had the prawns with the salad. Both were excellent and would not hesitate to recommend this place. Hopefully be back soon. Lovely fresh food, warm welcome and very reasonably priced.

"Owner rude and arrogant! And you can’t trust them and they won’t make your order right by just saying too busy to make it right! I called in to make a booking but told no tables available but I could place an order for takeaway so I ordered two gluten free pizzas. I also asked what size are the gluten free pizza crust and was told 11”. I was told I would need to wait 1 hour 30 minutes and I agreed. I ordered the Gluten free 11 “ crust as advised for one Olive Tree and one Garlicky . When I arrived, I asked the person with the pizzas to confirm the gluten free pizzas. She looked a bit worried and said they were not gluten free. I asked the other girl if I would have to wait another 1.5 hrs and she said they would expedite my pizzas. The owner came over and said he had two vegan pizzas for 8:30 pm and I said that is not what I ordered. He said he was too busy to remake the pizzas. He said the girl that took the order said she didn’t remember gluten free was ordered. As a Celiac , those are the first words out of my mouth when I order any food and I also inquired the size of the gluten free crust and frequently they are pre-made and sealed and I was told they are 11”. He would not remake the pizzas as he said he has to trust his staff. So he implies the customer are lying and uses it as an excuse to not make it right. It doesn’t excuse not remaking the pizzas correctly as ordered gluten free as I was told a few minutes earlier. I assured him I ordered both pizzas gluten free and my wife came in and also confirmed as she heard me place the order on the phone. I realize this pizza must be well done and popular but not to remake the pizzas and imply me a liar and refusing to remake them is unprofessional. I find his behavior arrogant, rude and unprofessional and just because he went to Italy to learn how to make pizza doesn’t make him a good owner and manager. Hopefully, he won’t blow off this review but learn from it. Always make it right for your customers! And never insult your customers! It also suggest he doesn’t care about his customers because he is too busy. He walks away and just repeats he has to trust his employees. Poor excuse for not making the pizzas as ordered! Employees can make mistakes and as a Coeliac I will also double check as I did when I came to pick up the pizzas. I would advise Coeliacs to not try these pizzas as you can’t trust them to make them to your order. Peace be with you! Dietary restrictions You cannot trust this place to make your gluten free as ordered and they won’t remake it if they made it wrong and just say I have to trust my staff. Very Poor attitude from an owner and a bit arrogant! Customers don’t appear to be important and must be lying if they get an order wrong."
