I really enjoyed myself at Kara, I was there with friends and family. We really had fun, the food was 👍, the service was excellent and the karaoke 🎤 was very nice. However, maybe there should be room for dancing 💃🏻 🕺. Thank you.

Went last night for a work do. The food was amazing. We had the meat platter, about £150. We had 3 of them. It was the most tasty chicken and lamb I've ever eaten!! The bread and dips was also very tasty and moreish. Service was great! The decor is.....interesting. Live singer all night was a bit odd but wasn't annoying.

I had an amazing time celebrating my engagement. The lovely waiter Gurkan took time out to take a plethora of pictures of my Fiance and I in different locations within the resturant. He went above and beyond to make sure we had pictures to mark the occasion. Thank you Gurkan, you've made a newly engaged couple very happy ♥️

This place is a ripoff🤮🤮🤮🤮. Never gone try again, one of the worst Turkish restaurants ever I came across. Basically the photos and the 4.7 points deceived me and many more, those has been once, never gone go again I can write all day and still nothing been said, the local has been disappointed ☹️ already. a Turkish lady working on Sainsbury’s next to the restaurant she warned me the place is so expensive and service and service charge are ridicules!!! but I still trying new places as usual. However she was so accurate. While I was there a customer travelled 20 minutes and asked for take a way and they refused. I heard ”We don’t do take a way”. I understood basically they want to rip you off 😣 come and dine in…. Never again and I know so many nice Turkish restaurants around so reasonable but be careful about this one!!!!!! Never recommended!!!!🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮.

The food at this restaurant is really good and full of flavour. The staff are quite friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is really nice, it's normally quite busy especially on a Thursday Saturday evening. The restaurant itself is well decorated and has a touch of class. The prices are fairly reasonable. Overall I would recommend this restaurant.

Unfortunately, the expectations were not met. The service was sluggish and unfriendly, you will not feel welcome in this restaurant. The kebab was smelly and not tender and juicy at all. The desserts tasted worse than in the store. The prices are too high and the taste does not justify it.

Came here on a sunday with my husband with no reservation, we got seated straight away. Ordered the calamari, sarma lamb beyti and mixed grill, food was amazing, can taste the fresh quality. My strawberry mojito was 90% ice so that was disappointing and our waiter smelt very badly of BO sadly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently dined at Tara Restaurant in Grays, and I absolutely loved it! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. The menu offered a fantastic selection of dishes, and everything I tried was delicious and beautifully presented. The flavors were vibrant and authentic, truly showcasing the culinary expertise of the chefs. I especially enjoyed the lamb chops and mixed grill which was a standout! Overall, Tara Restaurant exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delightful dining experience!

Impressive place with great food and decor but far too cramped and busy for its size no room to wait for our table in the bar,and then hurried out later for the next sitting - being told we couldn't go back to the bar, but could maybe wait for our taxi outside in the smoking area ? took the sparkle off what should have been a great experience 🙁

Feedback on My Recent Experience at Kara Restaurant I recently booked a reservation at Kara Restaurant to celebrate my son’s birthday, paying £100 a month in advance. However, the experience fell short of my expectations, especially considering it was a special occasion for our family. Upon arrival, I was informed that we would only be allowed to stay for two and a half hours. This time restriction was not mentioned when I booked, nor was I notified at any point beforehand. Given that we were celebrating a birthday, I requested an additional 30 minutes to cut and enjoy the birthday cake, but this request was denied. The manager’s response to my request was disappointing. His manner was unprofessional and unfriendly, which was upsetting on such a special day. While the food was delicious and the general service acceptable, the manager’s behavior left a negative impression and diminished our enjoyment of the occasion. I ultimately had to take the birthday cake home, and this experience has impacted my view of Kara Restaurant. I would be hesitant to return in the future. I hope this feedback can help in improving customer experience for future guests. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I had the mixed shish kebab and the quality was excellent. The chicken liver I had to start was maybe even better. Staples such as the hummus and falafel are well executed. Complimentary bread is a nice touch and it's great bread, too. All in all I wholeheartedly recommend it, I would definitely eat here again if I was in the area.

Found this place random drive-by but what a great decision to turn back around ! Impressive interior, lucky to get a table for 2 without booking - the queues are relentless, & you can see why frm the excellent service, extensive food & drink menus ! We was here on a Saturday night & there was a lovely singer walking around the restaurant- modern music with a chilled vibe. This was perfect mix of casual but classy for a dinner date or special occasion venue. What wouid I recommend ? A big appetite & wallet, honestly the smile will be worth it at the end of the evening - Thankyou to all ! Chris & Sam
