  “Dined at The Eyna for my son's birthday. We were served by H who was very polite and smiled throughout. She was very attentive to all of us especially the birthday boy. I had beed rib with mashed potato and vegetables. It was well cooked and tender. I had a Strawberry Mojito mocktail and loved it. My food was warm when it arrived and H quickly sorted it and gave me another free strawberry mojito. Venue is beautiful,spacious and sytlish.”

  “We recently visited The Eyna as a group of four and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere, bright, spacious, and beautifully designed, with several Instagram-worthy photographic corners. The seating is comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal with friends and family. We started with a selection of drinks, and they were outstanding. The Tropical Temptation was bursting with refreshing guava and pineapple flavours, while the Strawberry Spritz was light, vibrant, and incredibly refreshing. All were beautifully presented and complemented the meal perfectly. For starters, we enjoyed the mixed olives, hummus, four-cheese pastry, and falafel. Everything was fresh, flavourful, and well-prepared. The hummus was creamy, the four-cheese pastry was rich and indulgent, and the falafel had the perfect crispy exterior with a soft, delicious centre. One thoughtful touch that really stood out was the complimentary freshly baked bread served with a variety of dips while waiting for the main courses. It's a lovely gesture that immediately makes you feel welcomed. The real showstopper of the evening was the Vegetarian Beyti. The presentation was stunning, and the flavours were exceptional. The portion size was very generous, and it was accompanied by delicious rice and a fresh salad that perfectly balanced the dish. We also tried the Mixed Vegetarian Casserole, which was hearty, comforting, and packed with flavour. The staff were friendly, attentive, and prompt throughout our visit, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Another bonus is the ample parking available, making the restaurant very convenient to visit. Overall, The Eyna delivers authentic Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine, excellent service, generous portions, and a beautiful dining environment. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended and definitely a must-try!”

  “I took my cousin here last night for her early birthday meal and it was an amazing experience. The food was amazing every dish was packed with flavour and beautifully presented. Our waitress Hilal was absolutely amazing from the moment we sat down she was so attentive and made the evening truly special. The highlight of our night was when she brought out my cousins dessert on a slate board it said happy birthday with a huge sparkler. Between the incredible food and the lovely service, it was the most perfect place to come for a birthday. We will definitely be back. But honestly a huge thank you to Hilal for making us have the best night such a lovely lady.”

Atmosphere was good, it was a little loud but it doesn’t take away from the experience. Big shout out to the singer she was amazing.”

  “What an absolute gem of a restaurant. A fabulously warm welcome from the moment we stepped into the restaurant. There is passion and love for the whole business from every member of staff. It is definitely a place where excellence at the great of everything they do here. The interior has a design and atmosphere that just takes away any of your stresses from the day. Onto the food, the tomato flatbread complementary starter was delicious. For my main I opted for the Lamb Sarma Beyti and could not have been happier. Subtle flavours that grew more delicious with every bite, perfectly cooked rice, and houmous as smooth and rich as you could hope for. We were served by Zamira who simply radiated professional style and care. Knowledgeable about the menu and caring about our experience. An absolute credit to the restaurant. If you are ANYWHERE near Basildon on your travels, it is well worth the visit.”

  “A restaurant with a truly captivating ambiance and a beautifully curated interior that immediately sets the tone for a refined dining experience. The atmosphere is elegant yet inviting, making it perfect for a relaxed evening out. I ordered the lamb chops, hummus with meat, and a Pina Colada. The lamb chops were exceptionally juicy, tender, and bursting with flavour — cooked to perfection. The hummus with meat was rich and satisfying, complementing the meal wonderfully, while the Pina Colada was refreshing and well-balanced. The food is certainly on the pricier side — the lamb chops, hummus, and Pina Colada came to £45 — but the quality and overall experience make it worth trying at least once. One point to note: a 10% service charge was added to the bill, and we were not informed about it in advance. Greater transparency regarding service charges would enhance the overall experience. Overall, a delightful dining experience with excellent food and ambiance, albeit at a premium price.”

  “Had a great experience for my wife’s birthday. Cocktails were great, live singer & then DJ added to a nice atmosphere. Only criticism is the chilli sauce isn’t spicy compared to some Turkish restaurants. Other than that, very happy & will definitely come again”
