The food was excellent, tasty and proper size, enough choises for everyone (kids and vegetarian). Friendly atmosphere and good quality of service. No wheelchair access. The closest parking space is about 3 minutes walking.
i went here about a month ago with my husband and a friend, the food was brilliant, very filling and service was quick. highly recommended for a tuesday evening.
One of my favourite places to eat in Colchester. Amazing food with an extensive menu, although not many options for vegetarians on the main menu. Staff are fairly friendly and prices are reasonable.
As a girl who loves her food & enjoys trying out new foods & dishes, it was the turn for Albatta. The menu has lots of lovely dishes to try & the pictures do make the food look mouth watering. As I was wanting to try several dishes we ordered various ones from starters to mains. The food order was placed & delivered very quickly indeed. No complaints here at all. It arrived & upon opening the lids up the food was indeed hot. No complaints here either. We had half a chicken with rice, a mixed platter dish, with hummus, fried potatoes & salad on the side with dips. The food did indeed look as good as the menu pictures showed. So no complaints here. We dived straight in & I had a bit of everything, the hummus was a particular stand out for me, it was simply delicious! The half of chicken was a bit overcooked & too dry for my tastes. The mixed platter dish was a bit hit & miss for me, the sausage shaped kebab again was delicious but the lamb wasn't. Again it could be my particular tastes are different to someone else's. So for me personally this experience was a mixed bag as I thoroughly enjoyed some of the food (as above) but then I didn't like certain things. Would I want to try this food again? I'm unsure as whilst the hummus & kebab was both lovely the majority of the meal wasn't. So I've given this meal 3 stars. I do hope you try for yourselves as you're experience may somewhat differe from mine. Love as always Justine xXx StyleOutYourHome

The best Mediterranean restaurant in town. Highly recommended.
The really nice taste I love lamb of the leg
Me and the wife tried this place on a Saturday night.....on entrance we was seated by a member of staff and given our menus and served a drinks all was good at this point but then we waited 20 at least for someone to come and get our food order ok not a problem...we were given a complementary bowl of soup which was very tasty but in a a plastic bowl not good....mains came and the portions were very good as in big I had the mixed kebab and my wife had the kofte both was very nice dessert was Arabian mix pastry and was very sweet and delicious....The downside to this place was they turned off the heating and it got cold very quickly so did not make for a comfortable evening ....in all this place was okay food was good but needs work on utensils eg no plastic bowls.....and turn the heating on when you have customer's in
Great menu, large portions, nice casual atmosphere. Well priced food and drinks.
