Alanya Turkish Cuisine - Colchester

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. :

I stopped by this restaurant for a quick meal, craving Turkish cuisine. We decided to try some meze. Unfortunately, the food reminded me of low-quality deep-fried items from Iceland, with dips that seemed to come from prepackaged containers and lacked freshness. The meal ended up being more expensive than expected. The service was good, but overall, I wouldn't recommend this place. Sorry.

I regret not being able to finish all of the delicious food at Alanya in Colchester during my visit. We started with dolma and babaganoush with Turkish bread, all of which was excellent. I enjoyed the Iskender lamb kofte, but the portion size was too much for me to finish. My wife loved the King Prawns, saying they were the best she had in a long time. While the prices were a bit high, overall it was a good experience. Make sure you go when you are hungry enough to enjoy everything.

My sister and I visited this restaurant in Colchester in search of good vegetarian food. We were impressed by the delicious dishes and the warm welcome we received. We enjoyed a variety of dishes including cold and hot meze, as well as a vegetable and halloumi kebab. Everything was very tasty and beautifully presented with delicious flatbread.

Great bread! all ound good value with proper Turkish beer and very fresh ingredients. Meat dishes delicious and enough for veggies too. Our host was really friendly and made up a two person sharer for cold mezes. Delicious :
