Silk Road Restaurant in Littlehampton, West Sussex, United Kingdom | Turkish

The Silk Road Restaurant, Littlehampton, United Kingdom, was opened in November 2000 by Teresa Haskell who, having managed a successful Turkish Restaurant in London for a number of years decided to return to Sussex and open one for herself.

The old Silk Road provided the theme,  an ancient network of several thousand miles of trading routes that criss-crossed a dozen countries, bringing silk and spices to the West and taking Christianity to the East. It's this vast canvas that allows the Restaurant to make use of a wide variety of cuisines and types of entertainment, and still be within its theme. The Restaurant is, therefore, Turkish with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences.

The Silk Road Restaurant, Littlehampton, United Kingdom, is blessed with a very small but efficient staff, many of whom have worked at the Restaurant since its opening and are responsible for much of the unique atmosphere, particularly at the weekends when the Silk Road comes alive to the sound of an Arabic drum beat or maybe a

Latin jazz rhythm.

The flamboyant interior of the Silk Road Restaurant's decor is breathtaking with Persian carpets, mosaics and rich red velvets in abundance, tented ceilings and candles. The menu is extensive and delicious and includes dishes from chosen countries along the old Silk Road as well as a few European favourites.
