Piya Bar & Kitchen

I can't speak highly enough of this restaurant; the food was delicious and well-presented, and the service was excellent. Early on a Saturday night (around 6:45) it was getting busy and we hadn't booked, but we're made welcome from the moment we stepped through the door, being given a little table for two by the door. We were served a drink within two minutes and our orders taken a son as we were ready. No sooner had we given our orders than we were presented with hot, freshly made flatbread and three bowls of delicious Turkish dips to share while we waited. Between courses of delicious and generously portioned hot food our table was wiped clean and drinks refilled as needed. I has no room for desert, but opted for a Turkish coffee, which was served 'medium strength, medium sweet' after a brief discussion of how I wanted it. It came in a most fantastic little brass device, like a miniature Samovar and just topped off the whole experience perfectly. Meal for two, starter, main drinks and a coffee, just over 80. And with the quality and service I regard that as good value. Verdict? I want to move to Epping! Seriously try Piya if you haven't already; you won't be disappointed! Pro tip: you get 3 hours free parking in the Tesco opposite, as long as you spend 5 and get your receipt validated with your registration at the machine inside!

10/10 every time we visit. I always meet up with my friend and have dinner together and catch up. The food is always excellent and beautifully plated up. The staff are just so friendly and really go out of their way to be lovely.

Without exaggeration, this was the best Turkish dining experience of my life. The staff were helpful and pleasant, the food came out quickly and it was absolutely delicious. So fresh and full of flavour

I visited here with colleagues from work (ie. There was a group of us). We had a sort of late lunch, ordered from lunch menu which I felt was good value for money at 13. The food was good, and there was minimal delay getting us served and getting food out to us. Having a group of us didn't seem to cause any issues which was nice to see. Only small bit of feedback was the table legs - we had a number of tables along the bench seat and getting your legs round the table legs was a bit awkward!! A minor issue in grand scheme of things - and as mentioned above... thankfully the food was very nice!

We love coming into Piya. The food is always tasty and fresh, the service is great - they are absolutely fab with the kids as well! It’s really pretty inside and the chairs are comfy. They do a great value lunch menu as well.

Fantastic food! Brilliant service!! Super friendly, attentive staff!!! Wonderful, clean environment. I highly recommend And a special thank you to our waiter who surprised me with a free birthday dessert with a large sparkler and candle..!!

Great atmosphere and very busy. Small delay waiting for our table and as it was for 8 people I was concerned for a minute. Need not have worried. We’re soon seated and enjoying the great food. Most of us had lamb shish and it was really tender well cooked. Music is just loud enough without being over powering. We had our baby with us and they gave us a high chair and let me walk him about. No one minded. Thanks for looking after us and doing the birthday routine. Much appreciated. Great night.

I visit this restaurant once a month with my parents and the occasional lunch, the staff are so friendly and very welcoming and the food is to die for. The atmosphere is great always buzzing with life, I would go as far to say that it’s the best Turkish restaurant in Essex, The portions are generous with tasty meals and if you like a cocktail or a very thought out wine menu this is the place to go! Thank you Piya for many great memories and many more to come
