7. Albatta

Newly opened restaurant/cafe. Arab mid Eastern menu. Shisha pipes too! Outside, of course, in the patio garden.

Iâve eaten at Albatta several times before and often order takeaways but thought Iâd add to my review now that Iâve been to a buffet they hold on Sundays.We thought it would be nice to try the buffet as it would give us a chance to try some bits we hadnât ordered before and we werenât disappointed. There was a âside barâ full of dips such as humous, baba ganoush etc and we were provided with fresh warm pitta which is excellent. There were plenty of main dishes to choose from such as meatballs, chicken and some vegetarian options too. The service was friendly, another good experience from one of Colchesterâs hidden gems.

This is a breath of fresh air when compared to the same old rubbish that the high street chains serve up with their giant buckets of average tasteless coffee. The owner Lee is passionate about what he produces and the quality comes through in his food and drinks. I had a wonderful lasagna which was a recipe from Leeâs Great Grandmother, which she used to make for the family many moons ago. Passed down to Lee it certainly has stood the test of time and along with Paniniâs and great coffee. My daily pilgrimage was something that I enjoyed whilst staying in Colchester. One things for sure I shall return when Iâm next up in the area and I hope that the good people of Colchester realise what a Gem they have on their doorstep.

My family and I visited this lovely little restaurant a few days ago. The setting is fresh and intimate. The staff are wonderful: welcoming, friendly and very helpful. There is a menu offering all kinds of tasty Syrian food at extraordinarily reasonable prices. We went for the vegetarian sharing platter for four; there is a vegan option as well. This allowed us to try lots of little dishes served up together on a kind of revolving platter. It was an ideal introduction to the sheer variety of food on offer. And everything was equally delicious. We had minty lemonade to accompany it and some delicious sweet meats to follow. Everything was perfect. We stayed for quite a while, just chatting, after we had finished everything. And throughout we felt perfectly relaxed and welcome. To top it all, the meal and everything else was an absolute bargain. Real value for money.

Iâve lived in Colchester for years, and Iâve always walked by here, on the way to a night out, thinking âmust try that placeâ and have never gotten around to it, until my friend came to Colchester. The food is absolutely divine, the service is accommodating and excellent, and itâs just a really lovely atmosphere. AND itâs family run and the prices are very reasonable. Donât even bother with chain Italian restaurants, this place is far superior.

Lots of options to choose from including nice range of fish dishes. Pasta and gnocchi great as was the mixed meat platter. Small out door area to enjoy on a warm day. Nice venue just off the high street.

Italian Restaurant New Opening Homemade Icecrean,Pasta,Pizza
Reviewed By 219stevem
Excellent service from the moment arrived until the moment we reluctantly departed. Food was delicious, even my rather fussy daughter enjoyed everything. The fish cakes were sublime. The host was charming and entertaining, the chef was concerned that you enjoyed his creations, he really didnât need to worry it was all exceptional. An absolute gem of a restaurant, see you again soon.
