Really good food. Sensible prices. (Not like one in town, prices up and quantity smaller). The staff very friendly and nothing to much trouble. Bread so lovely fresh. Everything cooked fresh, its become our favourite of late.

Food was amazing, we got the mixed shish and the mixed grill. Service was brilliant from violet, didn’t have to wait for anything she was amazing. Will 100% be visiting again.

Very rarely do I find a restaurant deserving of 5 star, but the food here was genuinely some of the best I've tasted. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated, and presents and upmarket cosy feel. Complimentary Flatbread with dips were brought out almost immediately, and the starters weren't far behind. The rest of the meal came reasonably quickly, and the service overall was pretty good. Price is probably about right, but not overly expensive. Highly recommend.

Good food and value for money. Second time here so tried and tested. First time went for the platter and this time mains and a starter platter. Everything cooked well and full of flavour. Turkish wine also hit the spot. Service attentive and friendly.

Went there with my Mrs as a date night. Didn’t regret one bit. Atmosphere was lovely and amazing food and the service was impeccable. Thank you violet for the excellent service. Will definitely visit again.

Had some really great food, my kofte was amazing and my girlfriend's meze platter was big and tasty. We felt very sorry for them as a family decided to walk out and made a huge scene without paying simply because they received a portion of chips for a kid (in a Turkish restaurant !?) a bit later than they liked. Our food and service was great though. We will come back again.

First visit to restaurant after a number of takeaways, and we were generally very impressed. The restaurant was busy on a Friday evening, which underlines the popularity of this venue, warm welcome from staff. The food was delicious. A number of the staff appeared to be inexperienced which is very common within the industry at the moment, however they were very polite and enthusiastic which was nice to see. Only negatives were the addition of a 12.5% Service Charge to the bill (I didn’t recall seeing this detailed on the menu), a slightly disappointing wine list, expensive and only 175cc measures offered, which didn’t appear to be on the generous side, and no draught beer available, only expensive bottles. However we had a very enjoyable evening and look forward to returning again soon.

Enjoyed a lovely family lunch yesterday, it is one of the most comfortable dining experiences I've had in Colchester. The lunch set menu is very good value for good quality food and generous portions. Really enjoyed the kunefe dessert. Warm owner and polite staff. I'd say it was the best Turkish food I've had in Essex having tried Turkish restaurants across the county - in the same league as Turkish restaurants in Harringey. I'll definitely be back.
