"Called in for lunch having recalled some good TA reviews and was so pleased I did. The restaurant was quiet and as I entered I asked if they took debit cards I had about 15 in cash but always like to be on the...safe side....they didn't take cash but the patron offered for me to order and go to the cash point or, get this, pay next time I visit!! This was my first visit plus I live in Kent but what a friendly, trusting response, blew me away! Ordered the mixed grill and sparkling water, got bread and a couple of sauces free of charge.... food took a little while to come but the chef was busy in the open plan kitchen throughout. When it arrived a plate full of grilled meats, two skewers of chicken, a lamb (kofte) kebab, grilled lamb cutlet, all served with a fresh salad and rice. Proper, tasty, authentic and delicious food, served by welcoming, friendly folk and all for about 11.50! Needless to say I left all of the cash I had in change 16 ish) in response for the quality, service and that offer of trust. Go here, today..... you won't be disappointed and if bet it'd get a place on your top 5 Toon eats!"

Good quality filling food. I've been here many times in the past and decided to finally leave them the review they deserve. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Service is very good. Food is always of a high standard and you know what your...getting. Safe to say I will continue coming back again and again

A bit difficult to spot from the street. Look for the Culture Cafe. Go up two flights of steps and you are here. This is quite simply outstanding Turkish food. The preparation is clearly done with pride and love. The burek is beautiful, literally, and quite tasty. The lentil soup is creamy and well seasoned and complex for lentil. An excellent selection of lamb dishes.

After seeing a good review about the food on line we popped in here yesterday before heading to City Hall for a show as it's literally opposite. We were a bit put off by the access up several flight of stairs and thought it was closed but what a gem! Staff were so friendly and the grilled chicken pitta and salad we had were delicious. I think it may caters more for the student takeaway market but there were tables to sit at too. If your looking for a quick, well cooked and very reasonable price tea this is a great choice.
