Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the Kumpir jacket potato, which they say can be customised and is full of flavour. Close behind are the wraps, with praise for a meat wrap with salad and a falafel wrap with crunchy chips, and a breakfast of spicy egg and sausage with flat bread and Turkish coffee. Desserts get repeated mentions too, especially the Sütlaç rice pudding, described as the creamiest one a reviewer had tried, alongside Turkish tea. Many describe the food as fresh, hot and delicious, and several mention quick, friendly, welcoming service, with one noting the owner was helpful and talkative. One reviewer calls the food filling and high in protein without feeling greasy, a post-gym lunch that led to a return takeaway order less than two hours later. A few describe the atmosphere as chilled and happy, with catchy Turkish music playing. No recurring complaints appear in the reviews.

“Had a great experience at Kumpir Kitchen. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well presented, but the standout was the customer service. The staff were genuinely welcoming, attentive, and made us feel looked after from start to finish. A lovely spot for authentic Turkish food in Colchester, highly recommended!”

“We went to Kumpir Kitchen for lunch and loved it so much that we were back less than two hours later for a takeaway! It was the perfect post-gym treat — really filling, high in protein and full of flavour, without feeling like we’d just had a greasy takeaway. The food was fresh, delicious and exactly what we needed after the gym before a stroll in town . Couldn’t recommend Kumpir Kitchen for the great food and the welcoming service - we’ll definitely be back.”
- Andy Chase
“Walked past here and checked the reviews. Instantly decided to eat here as the reviews were so good. It wasn’t a mistake. Food was cooked quickly and fresh. Such a great selection and the meat wrap with salad was gorgeous. My Mrs had the breakfast which was equally as good. The owner is such a nice person and couldn’t have been more helpful and talkative. One of the best places we have eaten at in a long time. Well recommended”

“Delicious falafel wrap, crunchy chips, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Our food was so delicious we forgot to take pictures, so took one mid eating. Definitely recommend this cosy place!”
