About Caravanserai

Longtime regulars treat this candle-lit Dornoch Terrace dining room like family quarters—built for generous Turkish feasts and late-night sharing. Spiced aromas drift straight from the open kitchen, setting the pace for sprawling meze spreads, kafta meatballs, and mussels steamed in rich tomato broth. Grab a balcony table or settle inside beneath warm lanterns. Bring your own favourite wine or order by the bottle, then finish with warm apple tea, fresh baklava, and Turkish delight.

  • Flexible BYO Wine: Diners can bring their own bottles of wine or order selections directly from the house list.
  • Sharing Banquets & Platters: Banquet spreads feature sprawling meze, kafta meatballs, fresh dips, and mussel bowls built for tables of friends.
  • Candle-Lit Balcony & Open Kitchen: Warm lanterns, candle-lit tables, and open kitchen aromas set an inviting pace across the dining room and balcony.

    100% you need to try the mussels - We needed more bread to soak up the delicious sauce that went with it.
