About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
We are determined to deliver Authentic Turkish flavours in a great atmosphere at our restaurant in Brighton, just like we have been doing since 1997 back at home in Gaziantep, Turkey. The translation of our name is butcher and kitchen. We began as a modest family business in Turkey in 1997 and today we are proud to offer you a pleasant experience in our architectural concept and stylish design.

Our recipes amount to years of practice and perfecting in order to get the best flavours throughout all our dishes: freshness, quality ingredients, delicately flavoured dishes, succulent meats expertly char-grilled and delicious home-baked bread. All of our dishes are prepared with skill and diligence, cooked in house by our hand selected, well trained and experienced chefs.

    I booked online and requested a cake for my husband’s birthday. Apparently they don’t even read the notes or requests on the reservations online because the cake never came. It was really disappointing since it was a special occasion.

    First time at this restaurant and it was exceptional. The lamb is possibly, the best I have eaten in the UK. It was like being back in N Cyprus or Turkey

    It was a perfect experience for me. It was my first time to try turkish food and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was relaxed and it added to the experience on how to enjoy good food with family. We will be back!

FAQs

Yes, ETCI Kitchen Brighton is a warm, stylish spot that works well for date night. Guests frequently praise the smart interior, attentive service and delicious, shareable Turkish dishes (think kleftiko, mixed kebabs and meze). The atmosphere is lively and buzzy, which makes it great for an energetic evening; if you prefer a quieter table, consider an earlier booking or ask for upstairs seating. With friendly staff and a nicely presented menu, it’s an appealing choice for a special night out.

Portions at ETCI Kitchen Brighton are generous. Many guests comment on large, satisfying servings, mixed kebabs, sharing platters and mains like lamb shank and lamb chops are described as plentiful and great value. If you’re planning to try starters and mains or sharing a platter, you’ll likely find the portions filling and good for groups.

Early evenings on weekdays are best if you prefer a quieter meal; guests report the restaurant gets very busy at dinner time (queues and full seating around 6pm). If you want lively energy, weekend evenings and special nights (e.g., Valentine’s) deliver a buzzy atmosphere, just book ahead.

The atmosphere is lively, welcoming and stylish, guests describe a buzzy, warm dining room with smart decor and friendly staff. It can be noisy when busy (some guests found the music or volume a bit loud), which suits social evenings and celebrations but may be less ideal for quiet conversation.

Casual dress is appropriate. The restaurant describes its dress code as casual, and guests commonly dine in relaxed attire while enjoying a smart, comfortable interior.

Guests indicate card payments are used (one review notes the card machine didn’t allow tipping) and cash is commonly accepted at casual dining restaurants, but explicit payment methods aren’t listed. If you need to confirm whether specific cards or contactless payments are accepted, it’s best to call ahead.

Yes, the team is accommodating with celebratory requests (several guests received birthday cakes and staff participation). For dietary needs, seating preferences or large-group arrangements, call ahead so the staff can prepare and ensure the best experience.

Yes, families dine here frequently and the restaurant offers a Kids Menu with familiar options like chicken shish, nuggets and fish fingers. Guests often bring children for birthdays and family gatherings; consider an earlier booking for a calmer experience.

Busiest: evening service and weekend nights (guests mention queues, full dining room and special nights like Valentine’s). Quietest: weekday lunchtimes and earlier dinner slots are generally calmer. If you prefer a quieter table, aim for earlier service or a weekday booking.

For a lively night out, weekend evenings are ideal. For a quieter meal with easier seating, choose a weekday (Mon–Thu) or an earlier dinner on any day. Either way, booking ahead is recommended because evenings can fill up fast.
