My Wife is British and we just recently moved to the UK in April as a retired Nashville Police Detective i have eaten all over the world! No where have I had Syrian dishes as good! The Pride the owner has in pleasing customers with home made food he makes himself is humbling! The Hummus is so creamy and smooth you have to taste it to understand how good it is for your self. Quality and Quantity! Uk Pubs and Restaurants would do well to try to match the large portions! Most of the Pubs and 90 percent of the restaurants would never make it in the USA with their small portions! We would not put up with it! So far it seems only Middle Eastern eateries serve decent portions of food! Even Indian restaurants are stingy with their portions?Pubs have really Fallen in Quality food since the 1970s Shame! This Restaurant we will keep coming back to!

Stumbled across this place whilst taking a walk.Grabbed a falafel wrap, portion of meat kubba.After a short wait, the food came. This was really tasty. Enjoyed the crispyness of the falafel with the other condiments. The balance of the flavours and everything else was just right. The sauce inside the wrap was the right amount and salad too.Taking a bite into the kubba and this was really tasty too. Loved the flavours, well cooked and so moreish.A really satisfying meal for lunch.Encouraged by this, we grabbed some maamoul and sesame biscuits to go.These are perfect with a cup of tea. Prepared perfectly. The maamoul has a decent amount of dates inside and the biscuit is crumbly too.The sesame biscuits was lovely and perfect with some nuts in there too.This place is a low-key gem of a place and would recommend anyone looking for some authentic Syrian food.

Fabulous food in a cosy atmosphere. The strong coffee and sweets at the end rounded everything off beautifully and we will definitely go back!

Delicious, authentic Syrian food. Great for vegetarians and vegans, but also offers meat options. The food was fresh, really tasty, affordable and nice portion sizes. I'd love to come back again!

This is one of the best falafel spots in the United Kingdom. Fresh, authentic down to every slice. It tastes amazing. The restaurant is small and intimate and transports you to the Middle East. The staff are gentle, honest and kind. This is my favourite thing about Colchester. The portion sizes are perfect. Filling and balanced. Don’t miss this place, this review ain’t paid. And I don’t have time or write reviews. But this shop deserves it more than any other shop I’ve visited in my travels. 11/10 stars.

Oh I wish I could give 100 stars! The food here is amazing . The most delicious food I’ve ever had. I asked for them to make us more so that we could take it home with us. Everyone should eat here - you’ll never regret it. Thank you to lovely guy who freshly made all the food for us today - what a great chef!Dietary restrictions: Great vegan options so much to choose from.

Really enjoyed our lunch. The Arabic falafel sandwich was delicious and big enough to share.

One of the best Middle eastern restaurant of all time, as a middle eastern I struggle to find good restaurant, but this restaurant has the best food. Everything there is fresh and served with caring. I highly recommend every one to visit the restaurant and enjoy the delicious food there. I will definitely be back again!

Absolutely stunning food. I lived in the middle east for two years and have never found falafel or hummus to rival the quality there, until today. I am overjoyed to have discovered this place, have told my whole office about it and will be back very soon (and many times). Staff are also lovely.
