Went to the Daphne at 7:30pm on a Saturday evening, and was a little worried when we saw the restaurant was empty. However after the waiter/ owner talked us through the menu, and displayed his passion for the food , we felt very comfortable. The food tasted fantastic and was excellently presented .By 8:15 the restaurant had filled up, and our initial worries were unfounded. I highly recommend the food, the ambiance and the passionate, friendly and efficient staff

Excellent food freshly prepared. Wonderful surroundings which takes you back to Turkey/Greece. Authentic and all with a warm welcome. 3 courses with a bottle of house wine for 2 under £70. Exceptional value. Cannot recommend highly enough. Make a point of visiting when next in Cheltenham. They also have theme nights. Cannot wait to return.

The service was amazing here, with a full explanation of the menu and recommendations along the entire thing. The food, though, was absolutely incredible. They blended spices and flavours together and what came out was one of the best meals I have had. 100% recommend if you want a nice night out with delicious food and wine.

A nice family run restaurant with a lot of heart. This is a solid dining experience. The team are friendly and welcoming but can be stretched when busy.
The food is well presented, perhaps they are trying to provide a higher quality of dining service but I think authenticity is the strength of this experience and they should lean into that rather than the fancier side.
Our group had a good mixture of dishes and all food was well received.
The lamb was particularly well seasoned. The meal sizes were not small however sides could have been slightly larger. The salad needed some love.

1st time to restaurant. Lovely place. When we went in we were the only people there. The starter was really nice. It was a shared for 2 people. The mains were great. I had the mixed grill which was really nice. The desert was amazing. I had the baklava and it was amazing. I would go back specifically for that. Overall we had a great time. Very welcoming.
