The Kara in Thurrock

The staff are so so rude clearing plates before other people on our table are finished learning over your plates while your eating and the general manors are disgusting avoid this

Kara never disappoints ,everything start to finish was perfect . The staff always check to make sure everything is in order .

Went there for our wedding anniversary dinner... very busy which says a lot about the place... Fantastic ambience with stunning decor, excellent flavours from all starters and mains we ordered, amazing cocktails (the Caribbean Scooby is good👌🏽), and customer service was top notch.... Will definitely recommend and go back again. The live entertainment was also good.😍💕

Amazing ,amazing and amazing. Beautiful luxurious place and the food is yummmmyyyyy

Amazing food, very friendly staff , beautiful location. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Top service , top food , would definitely come back!

Excellent evening with my husband. The service was second to none. Brandon couldn't do enough for us, regularly checking that we were OK and if we needed anything. Thank you Brandon. Wonderful food and beautiful decor.

Lovely place to eat and drink with friends and family. Love the decor. Food was excellent with good portion sizes. Staff are friendly and efficient. Off street parking but can be tight if very busy.

The Kara has to be one of the most beautiful UK restaurants and the cuisine is truly delectable. Great customer service too.

Nice ambiance, and amazing taste

excellence environment, wonderful service superb customer service friendly atmosphere eylem

Good overall...but on any weekend night it feels like you are getting rushed out... It's just not ideal after you had your food...and it's a bit spiced up in price there's better options just near by in Dagenham, Barking,or Havering just Google them

This restaurant is absolutely amazing, the facilities are beautiful. It made me feel like I was rich and the toilet was so clean. You must come and try this place, it is absolutely wonderful Gurkan and his were second to none in terms of the service, I will come again.

Food was nice. But so expensive.

Fabulous venue, great staff, food is excellent and cocktails are amazing! Definitely recommend 👍🏼

Kara lounge is top class in everything: Cem and Jess were particularly excellent. The foot is great, customer service leaves nothing to be desired. Go experience it for yourself. 5 star all through.

Food was amazing, service was absolutely 5 star service, Kavishka was a saint, she was very welcoming and so helpful. Lamp chops is amazing!!

Having been to Kara (Chafford Hundred) many times since it opened 2 years ago we had a most enjoyable lunch today. Food absolutely wonderful with super attentive waiting staff, couldn’t ask for better.

Fantastic experience, friendly staff with great food and drinks 🥂 Mrs. Eylem was amazing and very friendly. 👏🏾

Very beautiful restaurant, can not fault the food drinks or the service. Eylem served us and was lovely. Thank you for a nice evening!

The service from most of the staff wasn't great apart from one member. His name Gurkan !!!! If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even bother going back as majority of the staff were more interested in getting me and my partner out of the door than showing any form of service. I thank Gurkan for his outstanding customer service !!!

Came last night 22nd sept for friends birthday. Today im suffering with food poisiong. And cant move. Thanks Kara. Wont be back

Excellent service, beautiful venue and ABSOLUTELY delicious food! We were greeted by gorgeous Jess who was friendly, attentive and professional. This fabulous service was followed up by Gurkan who matched Jess with excellent service and a professional friendliness and personableness that was nothing less than charming...and to press the home, the food was exquisite.

Great food! Try the rib eye, beautiful!! Staff were great, as was the service, will come back again.

amazing food and friendly staff

Had a Wonderful time at Kara for a birthday celebration. I was especially impressed by the service of Charlotte (I believe the hostess) . I will definitely be going again

Kara in Thurrock is a culinary gem that left me thoroughly impressed. The food was exceptionally tasty, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. I particularly enjoyed the hot appetiser sharer, which allowed me to sample a variety of delicious starters. The Sigara Boregi, included in the sharer, was a standout. The crispy phyllo pastry filled with flavorful cheese and herbs was a delightful surprise. The homemade flatbreads were another highlight, exceptionally soft and fluffy, perfect for scooping up the delicious dips or enjoying alongside the main courses. Overall, Kara provided a memorable dining experience with its outstanding food and attentive service. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu.

The Kara is brilliant, great food and, ambience . Staff are super friendly. Bonus was live music! The price is good as well. Had a wonderful time. Such good vibes!

Excellent food, warm and friendly staff and beautiful surroundings. The restaurant is gorgeous. Perfect afternoon meal in a beautiful venue

We have such a lovely Saturday evening at Kara restaurant.

It's one of the best Turkish restaurants in the area . We've been there all family and we enjoy of different kinds of food and desserts.

Loved food and service. Will go back again

From the warm welcome to the delicious, mouth-watering food and foot tapping live music!! A wonderful night was had by all. Thanks KARA

Let start from booking on the phone, the lady that took my booking was very polite and nice The pretty young Asian lady gave a good service. The food was good. Please keep your standard though you have one or two funny staff that tend to be a put off with their customer services and not welcoming but over all GREAT!

What a lovely place to come, enjoyed every minute. Could not fault anything. Can't wait to go back.

Fantastic Place & Great Food.. Highly Recommended for Couples.

Had a dinner yesterday with the friends. I was here first time and was really impressed. The food and drinks are so delicous. The portion if a plate is huge. Service is very quick. Lovely interior design. Definitely recommend!

It was my first time at this restaurant on the 17th of August to celebrate my friends birthday, we got there, atmosphere beautiful, place lovely but was placed on a tight seating area. I kindly asked the lovely lady Charlotte to change our seat, being her first time as well she decided to check with her manager Mike who was so rude, abrupt and inconsiderate. He spoilt our experience and shouldn’t be in such position if he lacks manner and ways to speak to guest. Overall, the place is lovely, good food - newbie Charlotte tried to make the day great with a great customer service but the terrible manager had spoilt it.

Amazing service and food staff where exceptionally amazing with there customer service travelled from Blackburn Lancashire was very impressed food and presentation was just out of this world Thankyou Charlotte and Jess Abi

Who ever the guy is who answers the phone needs some people skills and customer service training . So rude ! I’ve dined here on a few occasions and the food has been lovely . However this guy has given me a bad taste in my mouth .

Amazing food and atmosphere. The service from all staff members and attention to detail was perfect. Our new favourite restaurant.

Excellent service, food 10/10 will be coming back again!

Amazing atmosphere and food! Portion sizes are large and the staff are amazing. We hosted a surprise dinner for a family member and had the best time - the staff were all so accommodating and kind. Would recommend! ❤️

Jessica was amazing a food was perfection

Delicious food, professional service

Most Turkish restaurants they give bread and few starters on the house. And food wasn't that great. And i couldn't believe it they even charged for Turkish tea haha stay away.

Beautiful restaurant, amazing atmosphere and Brandon was incredible! He was so patient and accommodating to all our needs.

Amazing restaurant and food was delicious. I especially liked Brandon’s service!

Good food and good service, a big minus for the fact that not even a dessert is made there, but simply bought from who knows where.

Went there today for lunch with my family and had a lovely time. Their lunchtime menu had a good selection and affordable. The place was busy. We had an issue which wasn’t their fault and they resolved it so well it nearly brought me to tears. The service was more than 5star. Loved it! Will keep going back!!!

We Came with Kris and Sam from Amazon academy. Great service and food and great atmosphere

From the perfectly grilled kebabs to the fresh salads and savory dips, each dish is expertly crafted to tantalize your taste buds.

Lovely Waiter top service,great food ,I love the decor but I think a little bit cramped,good amount of food we bought some home with us

Had a wonderful meal here, first time visit and were very impressed by the decor, qwerky and beautiful, great start, we then had the loveliest waiter Macir who was friendly and attentive and made us laugh, asset to the team at The Kara! Drinks were amazing, my partner had the virgin melon cooler which was delicious I had the Lychee martini, which I haven't been able to find at a local bar outside of London...till now and met my expectations! Then came the food, generous portions, full of flavour and can tell everything is fresh! Later in the evening they even had a live band. we had a wonderful evening at The Kara and will be back! Thanks for a great dining experience

I went here for my birthday and it was amazing,there was karaoke and the place was fabulous,but about the food it was absolutely FANTASTIC!! Especially the Turkish bread.The service is amazing and staff is so friendly and the place is clean

Staff were warm, friendly, and professional. The ambience was awesome. The music was a vibe and some. Great value for money. Ample parking will definitely visit again

Great food and atmosphere! The staff are also very lovely.

Absolutely beautiful and fantastic place. The food is amazing and staff soooooo friendly. A totally unforgettable experience

Lovely place to celebrate a special occasion

Great service from Brandon, he made the night so special and made us laugh! We’ll definitely be back.

Brandon was our waiter! He was amazing! Made sure our large group were happy. Very friendly and attentive. Thank you Brandon!

Was an amazing experience, my kids were really impressed by everything, great location, amazing atmosphere, fantastic staff and food was beyond my expectations. Definitely will visit again soon.

Great as always. Excellent service from Brandon. Amazing cocktails and food. Will be back soon!

Awesome food and excellent service.

All good, the place is really nice, the food was good, the lamb slightly uncooked. The only thing I didn't like is that the music is too loud and you cannot have a conversation, you have to shout so the next person can hear, it feels like you have to eat quickly and go.

Fantastic food beautiful restaurant not over priced like most restaurants!!!! Right on my doorstep! We go here at least every other week! My favourite restaurant by far!

Really rude waiter and also the lady who took our drinks order wasn't friendly either.

Great food, and service! Visited several times, highly recommended.

perfect waiters, so attentive. Food was so good and that was probably the best daiquiri i’ve had in a long while

Food was OK nothing special, over priced, I was tempted to tell them to take off their service charge as waiter was just damn rude.

First time visiting for my sons 21st birthday, walked in and was impressed with decor, looked inviting , starters were nothing special, calamari was tough, I enjoyed my main but staff were very rude. My waiter made no eye contact when ordering food and looked bothered to take our orders. Shame could be nice but didn't feel very welcome so won't be back unfortunately.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent friendly service!

Had an amazing time with family and had our waiteress Jess, she was amazing and always there to help us.

Had an amazing time with family. Our waitress Jess made the experience so enjoyable it was lovely!

OMG! Food n atmosphere n decor is very high end! We ordered the Spicy King prawns as starters n as the main we had the JUMBO Kara platter, everything we enjoyed, the meats were quailty n tender, amazing indeed! To finish off, we had a little birthday get together n the staff were very attentive, kind n very efficient, so hats off n a huge thank you to Brandon n Lilya🫡. Overall it’s a 10/10 period!💯💯💯

Great quality food, exellent service. Highly recommended.Will be returning

Excellent service and food! the kind waiter offered to take my pushchair all the way to my car which is always a bonus when you have a baby with you plus baby bag etc

Friendly staff, well kept and clean environment with quality tasting food and exceptional cocktails.x

Food was amazing. Cannot complain whatsoever. The food came out in a timely manner. Food tasted 5/5. Service was 3* and not 5* because I specifically requested on my booking to give us a cake/dessert with happy anniversary and also mentioned happy to pay the extra for it. I even mentioned it to the waiter again. After our food, I was waiting for them to bring it out but there was no sign of it, which really frustrated me. The waiters are very nice and professional but probably find it hard to follow instructions.

What I loved most about KARA was te atmosphere, there was a live singer and the layout of the restaurant was great. The waiters were really friendly and helpful. I would recommend thus place for both families and couples. 5 stars!

toilets so nice and food excelleny

Very tasty and large portions. Everything was beautifully presented.

Really enjoyed it reasonably priced too

Firstly very rude staff google says that they close at 11 pm but they were closed at 10 pm. Staff was very rude did not even consider that i had my wife and kids with me who were starving really bad. not happy

The best services and best food

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Turkey's Restaurant, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a warm and inviting ambiance. The decor was a tasteful blend of modern elegance and traditional charm, making it the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The menu at Turkey's Restaurant is a delightful mix of classic Turkish dishes and innovative culinary creations. Each dish was freshly prepared and bursting with authentic flavour. The service at Turkey's Restaurant was impeccable. The restaurant's atmosphere was both cozy and elegant, with soft lighting and tasteful decor. Turkey's Restaurant offers an outstanding dining experience with delicious food, exceptional service, and a lovely atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a taste of Turkey in a refined and welcoming setting. I will definitely be returning soon!

I was pleasantly surprised how amazing the service I received from Youssef and other members of the Kara loung staff. They went above and beyond to keep me comfortable, the food was out of this world. I would personally recommend the kateyef dessert.

I've been in Kara a couple time. It's astonishing place, clean and tidy with beautiful design and decoration. Theh serve delicious food with high quality ingredients. Helpful and friendly staff. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Amazing stuff, very tasty and nice served food, hudge portions !!! All the best for your business ❤️

On July 10, my college colleagues and I visited a Turkish restaurant: The Kara Lounge & Grill. The restaurant's interior creates a good mood, and the atmosphere is conductive to relaxed communication. The waiters are polite and attentive. The menu is impressive in its variety.There is a menu for vegetarians. The dishes we ordered were very tasty, fresh and well presented.I especially liked the grilled lamb Shish.The meat was juicy and delicious. Highly recommend ! I liked the freshly baked flatbreads, baklava for dessert and Turkish tea in original glasses. The restaurant left bright and positive emotions. Will definitely go there again!

The place is so beautiful and the food was so delicious. Staff are so friendly. Best Turkish restaurant in the town. Overall highly recommended by me.

Amazing service from gokan and co. Food was excellent too
