We just wanted a few meze dishes for lunch and I think that was the problem as service wasn’t attentive for a relatively empty lunchtime. Didn’t bring a glass of tap water when asked, didn’t wipe down the table when they spilled some food and quite sullen service. Meze probably came out of boxes and wasn’t great (we know the Tara isn’t made on site as she told us about the allergens on the “side of the box”) Had much better, tastier Turkish meals but I guess you are in Maldon not green lanes

Lovely meal ,fresh and flavoursome . I had Saksuka to start, very tender aubergine and toms peppers salad . lovely flavours not for me though. I'm more a prawn lover. Main was chicken shish(5 nuggets) rice and salad. Ok though for a lunchtime deal , Salad was lovely. Drinks were expensive.

We have been using Sark since they were a small place down end of maldon have dined in a few times But generally have a take away. This time For my some 21 we ordered the mixed grill and while the food was excellent the portion size is nearly a quarter less Than normal and only one rice Pudding instead of the normal two. So A bit dissappinted

Stained menu, dirty cutlery hairs in the humus ….. bits of the salad were clearly well out of date…. Shame….. it was busy and clearly liked by the locals. Maybe we were unlikely but I don’t think so

On arriving on a Wednesday, I was surprised to see how full the restaurant was. Good sign. Waited a while for drinks, but ok, we hadn't booked. Nice touch with free bread/dips. Starters were good. My partners food was wrong, so he had to wait for his actual order ( swordfish), which was dry and pretty tasteless. My veggie moussaka was good. Two free lime and sodas were accepted. The bill was odd as the service charge was at the top ( beware) , so I gave another, in total £15 which was OTT. Thankfully, the governor decided he'd halve the food bill if England were playing. So £55 I/O £85. I would have felt ripped off at £85. Shame, as we had heard good things.

Had dinner at Sark last Saturday evening, had a wonderful evening. The service was excellent, very helpful and friendly staff. Food was amazing, cooked lovely and more then enough, we took some home for the next day. The menu is very extensive within plenty of choice, we’ve been to many Turkish restaurants around Essex in the last year and this rates one of the best, definitely recommend a visit.

We went to the original Sark restaurant ages ago and looked forward to visiting the new one. We had two bookings cancelled due to restrictions. We went with friends last night and had a wonderful time. It felt like we were on holiday ... great atmosphere, fantastic food and amazing service. Well done everyone at Sark, we’ll definitely be back.

Walked past here today 9.12.20 with my wife and noticed the restaurant was quiet so decided to give it a go as I missed out on treating her to a meal for her birthday in November. Also missing out on out holiday to Marmaris this year we needed a pick me up.We ordered the lamb cutlets which were cooked to perfection along with rice and salad. The usual complimentary bread and dips were very nice too.All washed down with a couple of pints of Efes. Service was very friendly and professional, really looking forward to returning again soon.

This is the fourth time we have used the delivery service and each time found it excellent. The drivers are punctual to the point of being scary. While the mezat £45 come seemed a little pricey it is easily enough for 4 adults and they often throw in a rice pudding afters as well. Keep up the good work

We have had the pleasure of dining at SARKS taken away from us due to the COVID 19 virus. But they can not stop the pleasure of eating the food from there.Sark are doing a takeaway service and I can not praise it enough. We had the mixed Lamb/Chicken shish last night, Saturday.Very easy to order and delivered spot on time and the food, SUPERB.If you fancy a good kebab this is the place to order from.

You'd think from the overall review score that this restaurant would be up for awards.Turns out it is all hype.Firstly the positives. The place is visually fantastic. It is an enjoyable place to be. The staff are plenty and whilst it is noticeable they only smile at a table, they do at least do what you'd expect any good waiting staff to do. Orders were fulfilled correctly and getting extra drinks was easy.But that's about it.The food on the other hand is sub-par. Especially so when you factor in the price.Of the 6 meals 3 were bad. A mixture of bad taste, poor presentation and in one unacceptable circumstance one contained ground bones that had clearly gone through the mincer along with the meat. Not gristle - pure solid bone.Sufficed to say none of us were impressed or would consider returning. No matter how much free bread you get pre-meal.

I feel so disappointed, my husband booked a table for our anniversary. We were advised to come at 6.30 as it’s a quieter time as I have an anxiety disorder. Our table was booked for 6.30 pm on Saturday 10th October.We arrived on time and was told there was no booking in our name , we were then sat in the corner of the restaurant and told sometimes table bookings are missed. No apology and I felt really uncomfortable.Ordered our drinks and then asked if we were ready to order, we weren’t at that time. As that waiter left 2 more came over one after the other asking if we were ready............ !Ordered our food and whilst eating our starter we were asked if we were ready for our main course......... ♀️I then went to the ladies and got stuck in the cubicle for a couple of minutes as the door got stuck!! I started to panic. Managed to get out.Our main course arrived, my dinner was vegetable kebabs, I was so disappointed, uncooked and so dry, trying to get attention as I would have liked to have had a sauce. I was asked what sauce would I like, I asked what do you have, reply..... what do you want......... my husbands side order was forgotten about however after asking twice then finally arrived.Very poor customer service, the staff were unfriendly and unfamiliar with their own menu and it seemed more of a trouble for them to help when we asked questions. Unfortunately I started to have a panic attack and we asked for the bill and we left.I absolutely understand in these hard times time is precious and turnover of customers is important to get economy going however quality in the short time we were there kindness should always come first .

We especially enjoyed the cocktails all were made is perfection can’t fault anything.I recommend the combination kebab as it comes with mix kebabs which are Adana , chicken and lamb wonderful. My wife had a sea bass which was so nice a moist and cooked well.The atmosphere is wonderful and has been decorated amazingly.LOVE IT!!!I can’t wait to come back and enjoy and try different food probably will be visiting next week again with my mates.Thank you sark for a wonderful night.

Came for late lunch with my sister. We loved our starters and mains which were amazing with lots of flavour, very impressive.We came her couple weeks ago and tried the spicy pots which I recommend you try them and this time we wanted to try something different so we tried the chicken shish with yogurt and the Tiger prawns is was amazing and worth the money.For tiger prawns you have the choice of either chips or potatoes which is amazing that you could choose a side rather only being able to get a side you might not like. The atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful the painted wall looks so amazing and it’s such a different style which makes you want to go there every day.Excellent eating experience.. from walking in the door and being greeted by employee, seated and drink order taken, was maybe 5 minutes. All staff were all really friendly and welcoming and the boss was also greeting everyone which is amazing to see.Meal was served hot and excellent taste nothing bad everything was presented well and a very friendly environment.See you again Sark had a lovely meal.

In it's previous incarnation, Sark was a small , friendly place, although over priced.I think now this is best for large family or hen night groups and the like.The staff were stressed and largely unfriendly, no waiting staff allocated to the table so we saw at least 6 , one of which tried to remove a plate my wife was still eating from , without a word of asking. I've eaten in many better military mess halls, as this is a dining hall , not a nice cosy restaurant.I had to send back an uncooked dish , and the replacement was almost as bad . We came away, disappointed and I can honestly say, perhaps the worst meal out I've had in years , which is the greatest of shame as Turkish people have a great reputation for their big welcome and willingness to make guest happy. I appreciate the difficult times, but the leadership must look after and support their staff, happy staff will make customers happy, a no brainer. Proprieter don't squabble with your team in front of customers , you read how it made us feel.You can do so much better

I love Sark me and my friends have been going to Sark since they had the old place and we are so happy they have moved to a bigger place.The inside of the restaurant is very appealing and has an amazing decor..lovely flower wall to take cute Instagram pictures and amazing toilets to also take mirror selfies and hygiene is there number one priority all the toilets are clean and you have access to hand sanitisers everywhere.When it come to food don’t know where to start the starter me and one of my friend had was the hot Meze for two and was delicious we tried different things in one go and then I had the chicken sarma Beyti and she had the spicy prawn pot it was all done fresh and tasted amazing.The staff were all so friendly and Caring and were working hard to make us feel special.It was easier to find staff as they were all walking around and asking if we wanted more drinks or everything was okay.I just want to say if your ever in maldon make sure you go and check out Sark but call and reserve as it does get pretty busy so you would not get disappointed. Keep it up SARK.Thank you

We visited during the Eat Out campaign. The restaurant was absolutely heaving. All of the staff were wearing face masks and all were very friendly. There is a large and varied menu with plenty of choices. The service was quick and efficient. The portion sizes of the food were generous. I enjoyed my meal - spicy sausage to start and then lamb meat balls spice pot - without any complaint whilst my wife found the halloumi starter a little on the salty side and the falafel main perhaps a little dry. Having said that we had a very nice evening and will return again in the future.

In the last few weeks I passed this restaurant and wondered what it was like.Today I had a day off and so decided to visit Sark.The impressions of the restaurant from the outside are impressive.They are even better inside.The interior is immaculate.We visited in the afternoon so had no problem getting seated.I could imagine at the weekend it would be very busy.I would think possibly it may need looking.The service was prompt and the table service was very inattentive.A full menu was aavailable and it was very had to choose from.Full bar facilities were available.The quality of the food was brilliant.Ample portions.I really can't fault Sark.Value was good as well.I will definitely be visiting again.

We discovered Sark's takeaway service during lockdown, when they were delivering. So glad we did, and now it's collection only, more than happy to pop over and pick up. The mixed platter for 2 people is enormous, and more than enough food for us (and we're big eaters!). The meat is delicious, and you get rice, salad and bread with it as well. We also like the halloumi with spicy sausage. Definitely recommend - next time we might book a table.

This is the first time we ordered Sark delivery as we are in lockdown. It beats kebab hands down and we didn’t know what to go for so just chose anything. We got a Nice spicy surprise and we all feel nicely stuffed. Three mains and they gave extra rice, salads, bread and sauces which was delish. Will definitely order again from them. Definitely value for money, and lamb cooked to perfection! On speed dial in the future!

Took over 30 mins to get a drink and despite going back downstairs 3 times to ask for our table, hadn’t been served by 9pm. Decided to leave. Plenty of tables clearly waiting for food.

Booked on line over a month ago and had received a confirmation email. When we arrived we were told we hadn’t booked and unless we could show confirmation we couldn’t have a table. When I showed the email there was no apology, we were just waved towards a table. Our starters and main course were lovely but the waitress tried to clear our table before we had finished. Our leftovers were boxed up for us to take home but we were offered no further drinks or a dessert menu for some considerable time and a waiter had cleared our table so eventually when somebody came we asked for our bill and left. Not sure whether we will return.

I came here on valentines evening having booked a couple of weeks prior. We arrived at 7 and were seated in the windows where the seats where very cramped. It wasn’t ideal but I assumed that there would be more people coming soon and this was the reason we couldn’t sit in the ‘nice seats’. However by the time we had finished our meal the ‘nice’ seats were still half empty so I don’t see why we were put in the rubbish seats. We are younger but I don’t see why this should effect anything.

The food is delicious so flavourful and the service was brilliant too! I love how attentive the staff are, they were quick to order and bring drinks and to take our food order overseeing the restaurant and checking for empty plates, glasses, very attentive without being invasive, can't fault the service at all! I love that they provide complimentary dips and warm bread before your meal, such a lovely touch. My main dish was really delicious can't fault a thing!

Went for lunch and ate from a la carte. It was a very a nice meal but unfortunately the service let it down. There didn’t seem to be any system of how the staff work. It was a bit Like “the buses” as they say, all or nothing. My friend asked if they did Turkish tea, the waiter said they didn’t and then at the end we noticed it was offered on the beverage section on the dessert menu. The waiter called our calamari onion rings and we had to ask twice for some bread and a drink as they forgot. Shame, other than that good. They just need a better service system. Hope they sort it out otherwise customers will get a bit fed up!!!

Had booked and expected to order from the main menu but the lunch time menu, £8.95 for two courses was on offer and was varied enough us to pick from. Still came with initial side breads and dips but portions although smaller than al la carte suited us just fine and no doggy bag needed this second visit here.

We went for a 30th birthday on a tuesday night, we didn't book but my we were lucky! Turned up around 6.45 and the restaurant was not full but was tables taken, we asked for a table for 2 and the waiter looked around, though for a minute and then found us a table, from the minute we sat down the door was opening every 5 minutes, by 7.30 the whole restaurant was packed! Fantastic atmosphere, great choice of food plus it all tasted lovely. We will definitely go again, but will book next time just to be sure!!!

Had a wonderful experience in the Sark the design it’s absolutely stunning really pleasing for the eyes. The food was delicious really nice. But the best part was the staff, friendly but professional service we had Thomas to care about our table and made an amazing job. Made our experience absolutely fantastic with his service. Thank you again!

Having eaten in the old premise a few times, we decided to try the new restaurant, which is lovely but it reminds me of an old time Angus Steak House ( yes I know)

Having been to Sark before we should of known that the portions are a good size. Nevertheless the starters are so good we had one each as well as our mains. Washed down with Efes beer and wine the whole meal was a real treat. I highly recommend Sark.

Visited Saturday 25/1/20. Restaurant full and staff seemed overwhelmed and unable to cope. Different waiting staff all the time and difficult to get served for drinks and food. Starter and main course left off order and had to be asked for as staff didn’t even realise. At the end of the meal a reduction in the bill was asked for due to missing meals and having to wait while the rest of the party ate. A senior member of staff came over and seemed to find this amusing and asked what I wanted him to do about it, I asked for 25% off he refused then 20% also refused. He then said listen to you telling me what to do I was going to give you your meal free but I’m not now. I pointed out he had asked what I would like done and if he didn’t want to know not to ask. We. Ended up with £15 taken off.

I literally had the best experience at Sark. I took my friend here for birthday today we had the best night.we was able to go and have drinks upstairs before our meal which was such a nice atmosphere and they do the best cocktails (pornstar martini ) if you do go try it you won’t regret it. When we then went to our table and ordered our food the starters were delicious which even though it was busy they staff was extremely helpful and informative.Our Mains were all so delicious everything was all served well and on time.Also as we informed them that it was my friends birthday they brought a cake for her and singed her happy birthday which was great. I just want to say I love this place and will be back because of how friendly the staff are and how excellent the food are .

A disappointing visit. We ordered a starter to share and thoroughly enjoyed taking our time when we were suddenly asked if we were finished (we still had food!) when we said no, the waitress said “I can leave it on the table but your mains are ready”. Before we knew it, our mains were there. Beautiful food ruined because there was no space between the starter and the main. The owner and staff were apologetic and gave us money off but it was still an expensive (and a very much looked forward to) evening ruined as neither of us ate our food and felt rushed. We were told we should of said we required a break between courses (really? We eat out regularly and always have sufficient time to finish the starter before the main!) The food was lovely and presented beautifully, it’s such a shame we didn’t get to enjoy it!

We went to the old restaurant that was at the top of the High Street and found it average, so we thought we would try it again at its new location. First impressions was how big it was and how busy it was. I had booked a table for 19:30hrs on the Saturday night but as we found out that really only guarantees that you can sit and wait for a spare table and not that you will be seated at the time booked.

We arrived early on a Friday evening and the restaurant wasnt busy at all. We where all sat for over 20 minutes before anyone came over to ask if we want drinks. Once we had ordered drinks 2 more waiters came over to ask if we wanted drinks even tho we just ordered!

So after visiting the sarks old restaurant exactly a year ago for my fiancé’s birthday and having not so nice experience I had said never again !!! BUT we did try again the new restaurant a fully booked one at that ! We was served within a couple of minutes starters on the table within 10 mins followed by mains all food was top draw both mixed kebabs perfectly cooked the staff quick and very polite 10/10 .. portions were to big so no room for afters now for the only negative , sark you need to put a hand rail down the stairs leading from the toilets !

It was our future daughter in law's mothers birthday on Christmas Eve and we were invited for her birthday meal. This restaurant has only recently re-opened following a move from a much smaller building. It has been well decorated and from what we were told the prices haven't been increased much to pay for it. Because we knew we would be eating alot of meat over Christmas my wife and I decided to have Dover Sole as the main course. It was a good size fish that went with a choice of potato or chips accompanied by green vegetables. It was less moist than previous times I have tried it in other restaurants but still very nice. We did have starters which were good. The bill for the whole party including drinks (wine and beer) worked out at £40 a head including service. We would definitely consider going back again.

Arrived and it was quite busy for a lunchtime, there was a big group in so expected it to be slow service. was seated quickly and the decor is lovely! Waited quite a while for the drink order to be taken but that wasn't a problem. There is quite a laid back atmosphere but again not a problem for us. we ordered the hot sharing starter and sharing main.....Omg starter was amazing and was already full up then the main came out..enormous.... looked and tasted awesome!! try it for yourself!!

We have visited a few times before the recent move to new premises and have never been disappointed with the service or food. Now in a much larger restaurant the owners have managed to maintain that high standard and create a place to eat that has great ‘buzz’. There were plenty of staff the night we went and we were welcomed at the door and taken to our table. The food as always, was delicious and plentiful. I would advise booking a table though, as even though the restaurant is now huge, it was full the night we went and remains a very popular place to eat.

Looked inviting from the outside so decided to give this establishment a try. Spotless interior , big menu with many tempting options. Our coffee was spot on , just how we like it "proper coffee." Wifey had bacon, brie and cranberry panini which she said was delicious. Myself chicken , bacon and pesto sandwich with granary bread. Thick slices of gorgeous bread with a well packed filling , it was very satisfying. Very good service and highly recommend.

Visited Black pig on a Sunday morning for brunch and it was very tasty. The presentation of the dishes is fantastic along with the excellent ingredients make each meal very enjoyable. We ordered the veggie brunch and Eggs Royale which I added a portion of streaky bacon as an extra. We also had the hash browns as a side dish which would have been nicer if the portion was for four and not three to save fighting for the odd one . Overall well worth a visit for some quality food.

We booked a table for 7 people for a birthday celebration on Sunday at The Queens Head, Tolleshunt D’Arcy newly opened carvery … The food was exceptional. There was a superb choice of meats , all cooked to perfection with a wide selection of delicious accompaniments…. Eat as much as you like therefore, exceptional value for money. The staff all made us feel so very welcome and nothing was too much trouble with the added advantage of a fantastic atmosphere. We would highly recommend. Thank you so very much for an enjoyable experience- The Ritchie Family
