"I looked this up online and it said Book online and we will give you a discount , so I booked online, received a confirmation email, but no discount code. We arrived and were taken to a table. I said to the waiter I booked online and it said I would get a discount but I didn 't receive anything , He just walked off without saying anything, I assumed he didn 't speak english and had gone to fetch an english-speaking colleague but nobody appeared. Nobody came to take our order (we were the only ones in the place) so I went down the front to ask another person if we could place our order. I again said I booked online and it said I would get a discount but I didn 't receive anything and again I was ignored. Finally a waiter came to take our order. Again I said I booked online and it said I would get a discount but I didn 't receive anything , he told me there was new management, I replied that I had only booked that morning so there can 't be new management since then! he said he would sort something out but nothing was done and we didn 't get a discount so that was really disappointing. We decided to order a meze of hot starters for our lunch and thought the mixed plate for 2 sounded good value at £15.95 for 5 dishes as the starters were all £4.50-£5.50 so that selection would have been £23.95. We also ordered some extra starters but were disappointed they didn 't have octopus. When the dishes arrived, we were again disappointed as the mixed starters only had 2 of each item, so very poor value as there should have been 4 and having only half of each one would have cost £11.97 but we paid £15.95!!!! Also we paid £5.50 for 4 meatballs that were the size of marbles!!!! The turkish sausage was a slice of bacon grill out of a tin. The food was all tasty but VERY SMALL PORTIONS and the mixed plate was extremely poor value and I feel thats a bit of a con. Also early on in the meal music suddenly blasted from the speaker above us so loudly that it nearly burst our eardrums. My parents both wear hearing aids so this was excruciating for them until it was turned off again. We were all still a bit hungry due to the small portions. I can 't comment on the main dishes as we only had a selection of 9 starters, which should have been ample for 3 people. The stuffed aubergine starter states on the menu a whole stuffed aubergine but we only got HALF of a very tiny aubergine. So I feel very cheated. This small lunch cost £38 and we didn 't get the promised discount. We will not be returning. Oh and there was no toilet paper in 2 of the 3 ladies loos and when I told the waited he was totally unconcerned and unapologetic."

We dined here on a busy Saturday night. Staff were excellent, very attentive. Lots of variety on the menu and shared dishes made it possible to try new things. Very good value for money.

Don't waste your time ordering shawarma from here. They advertise in their menu that they don't put onions, tomatoes etc in the shawarma but instead they pack it with cabbage and you have very little chicken in the shawarma. Nice way to cut costs..!!

We've eaten here a few times now and it's always a pleasure excellent, tasty, freshly prepared food and a nice selection of drinks. The mixed chicken and lamb kebab is tender and full of flavour. Always a friendly and personable service. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and is nicely decorated. A great addition to the area!

My wife and I went to this Turkish local restaurant 2 weeks ago to try out the 2 course lunch menu. I enjoyed Feta Cheese Pastry followed by Lamb Shish kebab. Both were very nice. The waiter had been brought in from another restaurant to help. Not sure why, because there were 6 staff in the place and just 2 couples dining. Will go again just to see if the food is still up to scratch.

I rarely leave reviews but this time I had to. My husband and I went for an early dinner for the first time tonight and the welcome, food and service were all fantastic. The staff could not have done enough for us an incredibly warm welcome and the food was fresh, homemade and tasted fantastic. We will definitely be back and will spread the word. A great addition to Halstead. Thank you!

5 of us dined this evening! Very young inexperienced staff waiting on tables. One lad in jeans. White shirts were grey and grubby looking! Food was really salty. Vegetarian falafel was hard with uncooked centre. Not sure who was in charge. We asked to slightly change one dish on the mezze for 2 and they wouldn’t. Not value for money at all. Plant on top round table needs more ceiling space to grow. No atmosphere and we won’t be going back!

"We came here on a last minute hunt to find a Sunday roast with family without much expectations. However when entering its a lovely set up and we were greeted by Lee and Alison who looked after us for the meal who just to begin were absolutely brilliant, they really care about the customers and make this place extra special. Now for the food you can get a 2 or 3 course meal so everybody made various selections but all had starters. Most went for the Aarancina which isn't your usual starter with a Sunday roast but for here it packs alot of flavour and is a great way to start the meal. They have a great selection of alcoholic beverages I went for a simple beer. For the main roasts we had a variety of meats I wanted the pork but sadly they had no crackling which was half the reason for ordering but if I am being honest after eating the meal it wasn't missed out the meat was tasty full of flavour but the sides were the key. The roast potatoes were of a top level usually when you eat out they are never as good as eating at home, the Yorkshire were huge and tasty, gravy brilliant with plenty to go around and lots of veg and cauliflower cheese on the side. Honestly this was excellent a really good roast probably the best I have ever ate in a resteraunt. Some of the others had the lamb shank which was huge and had great feedback but the beef was great and so was everything else. So yes check it out eat in and eat some great food in a nice setting with absolutely brilliant service you won't be disappointed."

"What can I say….We held our wedding dinner and impromptu party ! on the mezzanine floor and had the time of our lives with our nearest and dearest. It’s been a pretty special place for us as we dined at the House by Hilly Gant to check the area out before moving from London and so as we were having a small wedding of 22 people we felt this was the best place to have our wedding. Suzanne and the team could not have done anything more to make our afternoon and evening so perfect. The food was outstanding and our guests were very impressed Harry and his cocktail making skills are second to none. Huge shout out to all the kitchen staff who’s attention to detail and timings were spot on. Leading up to the day itself Suzanne took charge and offered her expert advice on how to dress the room and made so much effort with our requirements. 3 children and 1 baby as part of the guest list! . The beef in particular was spectacular and the chocolate fondant was sublime. We honestly didn’t want to leave. After dinner Suzanne was able to crank the music up and we had a little party ensuring all the guests downstairs were still well looked after our friends were actually dining downstairs and were able to join us towards the latter part of the evening! From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much to everyone for making it so special for us. I’m not surprised that you were recently awarded your second rosette, totally deserved. For anyone looking for quality food, locally sourced, and beautifully executed this is the place to come. SEE YOU SOON and thank you again x"
