Doga Restaurant

Lovely family restaurant. busy, so best book in advance especially on the weekend. we had a lovely meal, there is something for everyone, even my fussy teenagers finished their plates. the staff were friendly, the owner took time to chat to each table which was a lovely gesture not often seen nowdays. we were not rushed to finish our meal by a certain time unlike other restaurants. overall a great experience, we will definitely be going back again.

Fantastic food. thoroughly enjoyed that. however, service wasn't brilliant! it felt like we were inconveniencing one of the servers. saving grace is the tiramisu, which is gorgeous. honestly, it's worth the grumpy server.

Enjoyed a lovely family lunch yesterday, it is one of the most comfortable dining experiences i've had in colchester. the lunch set menu is very good value for good quality food and generous portions. really enjoyed the kunefe dessert. warm owner and polite staff. i'd say it was the best turkish food i've had in essex having tried turkish restaurants across the county - in the same league as turkish restaurants in harringey. i'll definitely be back.

First visit to restaurant after a number of takeaways, and we were generally very impressed. the restaurant was busy on a friday evening, which underlines the popularity of this venue, warm welcome from staff. the food was delicious. a number of the staff appeared to be inexperienced which is very common within the industry at the moment, however they were very polite and enthusiastic which was nice to see. only negatives were the addition of a 12.5% service charge to the bill (i didn’t recall seeing this detailed on the menu), a slightly disappointing wine list, expensive and only 175cc measures offered, which didn’t appear to be on the generous side, and no draught beer available, only expensive bottles. however we had a very enjoyable evening and look forward to returning again soon.
