The best restaurants serving Turkish food in Castle Colchester East of England

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.

This restaurant is attractively situated in a Georgian street, and offers something a little different for the discerning diner. The food was expertly cooked and tasty and prices were reasonable. Helpful staff also added to the enjoyment of the experience. The restaurant is modern and well-appointed whilst maintaining character. I had a stuffed vine leaf starter for something suitably Roman, whilst my hubby chose king prawns (so good I snaffled one!) He and my sons then chose Turkish mixed grills which they found delicious. All the food tasted good, and my son also enjoyed his baked Halloumi starter. The restaurant also offers vegetarian and vegan options. My only criticism is I would have preferred my sea bass to have been pre-boned. Otherwise though, overall a lovely place to eat, recommended. :)
