Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Excellent food at great price

Excellent value for money with the lunch time special. But even without that deal it would be good. Don’t be put off by scaffold outside, put up for flats above.

Super friendly, quality food

Great food, excellent service, been at Constantinople several times and in each case it was spot on. They have been around for a while and are always improving the selection and quality of their menu. Good menu and food is really tasty, freshly prepared. Service...is super friendly prompt and helpful. We are always warmly welcomed, as are all guests, and made to feel "at home".More

Delightful lunch

Absolutely delicious food, lots of it, good value for money and nice ambience. The restaurant is not too big so cosy. We spent a very enjoyable three hours, thank you. Will certainly revisit.

Not as good as our first visit

Our first visit was fabulous and our dinner was solely recommended by the owner. The atmosphere was lovely and the food was amazing. Unfortunately our second trip did not reflect this. The service was mediocre, the kind that makes you feel like you’ve interrupted someone’s...chat and the food just did not live up to the previous visit.More

Good things come in small packages!

Went here after reading great reviews on TA and it didn't disappoint. It was a Sunday evening so not very busy and only one waiter in the restaurant...but the service was great and the food was lovely. Very fresh and perfectly cooked and seasoned. The...complimentary tabbouleh and cake were delicious! Thanks to Bariat for the great communication when booking. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.More

A fabulous dinner

What a gem of a restaurant. Fabulous host and waiter and we had the most amazing food. The squid and chicken dishes were some of the best we’ve ever had. We were also looked after exceptionally well. When in Brighton again we will be back.
