We visited last night and, being pleasantly warm, we ate in the courtyard at the back, and had the most relaxing and authentic experience this side of the Med! The food is really fresh and tasty, and the ambience made us forget that we were actually still in Essex and not on a foreign trip....it feels just like a well-frequented... More

A lovely gem in Colchester. Good food, good service, nice little garden out the back for some shisha. No complaints at all, plus it's BYOB!

The restaurant is very welcoming as you walk in. Nice and modern. We had the lamb tasook and tzatziki. The food was delicious and we will be returning again!

Albatta is a great choice for a light lunch. The food is excellent and the staff welcoming. I particularly like their fruit teas.

I don't hesitate driving from Suffolk for the food, the coffee, the buzz, the people; the whole package. This unique little venture deserves success so much. It offers genuine, wholesome food, so different from what we are sadly accustomed to. If you like honest, heart-warming food at an honest price, you will also love the place and the people at...

Every time I'm in town and feel like having a quick grab and go I always go there. The best falafel wraps in town!! Also a perfect place to have a catch up with a friend in a nice and warm atmosphere :))
