Shiraz is a unique Bar & Restaurant which invites you on a journey of Turkish taste…
You’ve reached the home of deliciously authentic and fabulously fresh Turkish dining in south England.
Here at Shiraz we have almost 30 years experience of recreating the mouth-watering dishes that we first tasted in our grandparents’ kitchen in the Mediterranean region of Turkey.

Wine Bar

Coulsdon

About the restaurant

The Grape Variety is a neighbourhood, independent wine bar, shop and restaurant, selling great wines and food from around the world, located just 2 minutes from Chipstead Railway Station.

We opened in the spring of 2018 with the aim that a wine bar should cater not just to experts, but to all, so we created one where our guests could unwind at the end of the day with a great wine in a warm, friendly and genuine environment, whilst getting sound advice about which wines to enjoy, as well as to take away.

For food, we offer quality artisan cheese and charcuterie, alongside dishes such as baked Camembert, bakery sausage rolls, hot chorizo and potato, hummus with a spicy sauce, Spanish pâté and the like. On Thursdays, enjoy our wood fired pizza pop-up and our legendary Quirky Quiz runs every other Wednesday. We also host various pop-ups, such as art classes, comedy nights, brunches, wine, cheese and gin tastings throughout the year. Follow us on Instagram to stay updated.

About the restaurant

Welcome to Nisou Reigate.
An experience based on many years of visits to my Yia Yia (Grandma) Victoria's home in the traditional village of Nisou, Cyprus. Using home-made authentic recipes passed down through generations, our aim through our attentive and warm service is for each of our guests to feel cared for and loved through our passion for hospitality.
We truly believe that everyone has that place where they can relate to these experiences and if you haven't had that place, you have now.

A good selection of Italian food and English items - don't forget to peruse the Piccolo Daily Specials menu. The fillet steak cooked rare with peppercorn sauce was sublime. And the Tiramisu just dissolved in the mouth, all washed down with some Montepulciano red wine. What a way to finish off an anniversary - thank you to everyone at Caffe Piccolo for a great meal with discreet & attentive service throughout. Well done.
