Awful, AWFUL, shameful, terrible scammers... I'm originally Turc, this place it could be whatever but nothing related to Turkish gastronomy... Just a single dish and bottle of water, he charged me 2£ for the tea which is complementary in ALL Turkish restaurants, and the bill was 27£, even in downtown London it would not cost that... The bread was just heated by microwave, so hard after some instants... I have even vomited from such disgusting scammers 😵‍💫🤮

Overpriced, overrated and disappointing experience. Came here last week for my daughter's 21st. We found the service to be unfriendly and unattentive, many waiters standing around doing nothing, when we left nobody opened the door or wished us goodbye. The food to be reasonable, however i paid £25 for the Mirra special and my lamb was very chewy. My daughters pornstar cocktail was £12 and was sickly sweet and unpleasant to drink. Our bill was a lot higher than we were expecting. W thought it was very overpriced and overated.

I had a takeaway so can only speak for that, but what a good choice this place was! When I went to pick up my food, the staff were so welcoming and friendly, held the door open, smiled, had a little chat and it was a very nice experience. The food itself was awesome! I love my Persian food and this was top notch. The livers were divine, very nice flavour and not irony at all. The lentil soup was also great, loads of dried mint and herbs that made it very flavourful yet not too oily. The bread portion was huge to mop it up as well, which made the whole thing very filling and worth the price. I also had couscous and cacik, both classics and both very nice once again. This place is great, and hopefully I’ll be back to experience the food even fresher and in person!

We had the weekday lunch menu which offered great value. It's a fixed price menu for starter and main course but there is still a wide choice of dishes. The food was well cooked, well presented and very tasty. Our particular favourite was the sigara borek. We also felt the wine list offered some good value options. Service was friendly and efficient and the restaurant has a nice ambience.

I've eaten in a lot of restaurants Mirra has got to be one of, if not THE, most friendly! We'd never been there before but were greeted and treated like old friends, they were all just so amazing!!! We often opt for Turkish when we're away because as a vegetarian I know that there will be a large and interesting selection of vegetarian options: Mirra definitely doesn't disapoint on this one. My wife and I had a selection of half a dozen items from the small plates and appetizers section of the menu, and for us that was just about the right amount of food. We had a couple of aubergine options, some halloumi, some feta parcels.... It was all fantastic. With a combination of food and service like that, you really can't go wrong

Food was really good but the restaurant was filthy, bits of oily food left on the chairs which has left a stain on my top that won't come out. Toilets had no toilet paper in (most of it was on the floor) the staff were so unwelcoming and two of them squared up to each other in the middle of the restaurant and had to be separated by other members of staff, which was really awkward. We tried to raise all of this when we paid the bill but the waiter wasn't interested and couldn't wait to get away from us (or at least that's how it felt).

I had a fantastic experience at Mirra Restaurant in Colchester. The restaurant offers a delightful fusion of traditional Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine with a modern twist. The ambiance is both stylish and inviting, making it perfect for any occasion. The meze platters, grilled meats, and desserts were all exceptionally delicious. The hummus and cacik were particular highlights for me. The service was outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff. I highly recommend Mirra for anyone looking for an exquisite dining experience! 🥳
