Kaani Kaana - Bangladeshi and Indian Takeaway Chelmsford
18 Duke St, ChelmsfordOrdered 26th October, my wife pre ordered and selected a delivery time earlier in the day which was great and food arrived on time. This is the 4th time we have ordered from this takeaway and have never been disappointed. The food is always tasty, piping hot and we have tried a variety of dishes. Definitely the best Indian takeaway in Chelmsford

Taz Restaurant
Main Rd, Rettendon Common, ChelmsfordI was in today with my family & my two year old, and I just wanted to say what a great experience we had. Everyone was so great with my daughter (being quite active) and also the food, atmosphere and the staff could not have been better or more attentive. Also, the complimentary drink at the end was a really nice touch especially for my nan who loves a Tia Maria!
We wouldn’t be going anywhere else in Essex for a Turkish from now on!

However I ordered the curry burger and requested the cheese be removed. I also paid extra for avocado. Unfortunately the cheese was in the burger with avocado directly on it so I had to peel off the cheese and couldn't eat the avocado. Couldn't get this amended because I was a takeaway.

Fête at Grays Brewery Yard
Unit 10 - 13 Grays, Brewery Yard, ChelmsfordWe absolutely LOVE Fete! It is definitely our favourite restaurant in Chelmsford which is a big compliment because there are a lot of very nice places to eat in Chelmsford. We particularly love that it is an independent restaurant as the majority of restaurants in Chelmsford are chain restaurants. In my experience, restaurants with a really big menu are not so great, but this definitely isn't the case for Fete. We like to go regularly and have taken lots of friends and family, all of which have enjoyed the fantastic food off their extensive, exciting varied menu. I have chronic pancreatitis so I have to eat a very low fat diet. I often end up with incredibly boring food because restaurants are more worried about poisoning me and forget about also giving me delicious food. This is definitely not the case with Fete and I would definitely recommend Fete to anyone with complicated dietary requirements. You will get a safe and very delicious meal. The only problem with Fete is that they are incredibly popular, so if you want to eat there, you ideally need to book at least a week before. This particularly the case for brunch at the weekend or on bank holidays and all the time for larger groups. I would also like to massively thank the Fete team for accommodating my diertary requirements and for providing beauti

When our table was ready we were seated and there were only 2 tables occupied, however this soon changed as more diners arrived and atmosphere improved. At first we thought the portions a bit small but they were really tasty and filling. Drinks were a bit on the pricey side (12.00 per 250ml Red wine) but overall the experience was very good.

The Anchor Danbury
Runsell Grn, Danbury, ChelmsfordWe were looking for somewhere to eat, having just arrived at our holiday accommodation in Little Baddow. Did a quick Google to see where there was close by. The Anchor came up & looked good. We tried to call for a booking but we had no signal on our phones. We decided to take a chance, and we are so glad we did. What a fabulous find. Large car park and play area out back. Lots of flowers adorn the outside, absolutely beautiful. There are lots of outside tables and dog drinking bowls, nice touch. As we went inside, we could see how busy they were. It looked doubtful that we would get a table. However, after asking the young barman, if he could squeeze us in, a table was found. We found all of the staff efficient and friendly. A great choice on the menu and specials board. All four of us enjoyed our delicious meals. Between us we had, Seabass, Salmon, Cheesy cottage pie and Sausage and mash, all very tasty. Desserts and coffee were equally fabulous. Lots of character inside with a cosy feel in the area we were seated. There was a further dining room, which we didn't see, but looked lovely and was also full of diners.
We would definitely recommend The Anchor, and we will plan to return during our stay in the area. Thank you to all at The Anchor

You can hire it for free if you are having a large number of people (think it's 30 plus but best to check with the owner). Large selection of ales, wine's etc. They also serve nice bar food/snacks. Friendly staff. Good place to pop in for a couple of pints.
Dietary restrictions: They will cater for gluten free food if you ask.
Parking: Street parking outside but can be difficult to find a suitable space some times. Also you need to check lamp posts for time restrictions when parking.

Kaani Kaana - Bangladeshi and Indian Takeaway Chelmsford

This is the 4th time we have ordered from this takeaway and have never been disappointed. The food is always tasty, piping hot and we have tried a variety of dishes. Definitely the best Indian takeaway in Chelmsford

Taz Restaurant
Main Rd, Rettendon Common, ChelmsfordI was in today with my family & my two year old, and I just wanted to say what a great experience we had. Everyone was so great with my daughter (being quite active) and also the food, atmosphere and the staff could not have been better or more attentive. Also, the complimentary drink at the end was a really nice touch especially for my nan who loves a Tia Maria!
We wouldn’t be going anywhere else in Essex for a Turkish from now on!

Wendy's
8 High St, ChelmsfordGood food, chips were nice. Beef burger and ice cream was enjoyed in particular by my boyfriend.
However I ordered the curry burger and requested the cheese be removed. I also paid extra for avocado. Unfortunately the cheese was in the burger with avocado directly on it so I had to peel off the cheese and couldn't eat the avocado. Couldn't get this amended because I was a takeaway.

Moto Pizza
24 Baddow Rd, ChelmsfordAbsolutely loved this! The concept of bottomless pizza is fantastic. The website tells one everything one needs to know about how it works, opening times, prices, booking tables and the sustainability ideas on food and drink. Really liked that the drinks menu was simple and clearly directs the effort and energy of the staff towards the main event - serving the fantastically delicious pizza! Vegan and vegetarian not a problem, the staff write requirements on a board and the pizza chefs prepare pizzas accordingly. If you are up for an eating competition, like 2 in our party, there is plenty of opportunity here. Delicious toppings, especially anything with chilli honey. Excellent, friendly service that exceeded our expectations. Unfortunately, we don't live locally, but when we visit friends again, a Moto Pizza experience is top of our list. Thanks Moto Pizza team!
Vegetarian options: The staff will ask about dietary requirements and vegan and/or vegetarian pizzas will be prepared accordingly

Fête at Grays Brewery Yard
Unit 10 - 13 Grays, Brewery Yard, ChelmsfordWe absolutely LOVE Fete! It is definitely our favourite restaurant in Chelmsford which is a big compliment because there are a lot of very nice places to eat in Chelmsford. We particularly love that it is an independent restaurant as the majority of restaurants in Chelmsford are chain restaurants. In my experience, restaurants with a really big menu are not so great, but this definitely isn't the case for Fete. We like to go regularly and have taken lots of friends and family, all of which have enjoyed the fantastic food off their extensive, exciting varied menu. I have chronic pancreatitis so I have to eat a very low fat diet. I often end up with incredibly boring food because restaurants are more worried about poisoning me and forget about also giving me delicious food. This is definitely not the case with Fete and I would definitely recommend Fete to anyone with complicated dietary requirements. You will get a safe and very delicious meal. The only problem with Fete is that they are incredibly popular, so if you want to eat there, you ideally need to book at least a week before. This particularly the case for brunch at the weekend or on bank holidays and all the time for larger groups. I would also like to massively thank the Fete team for accommodating my diertary requirements and for providing beauti

Absolutely loved the coated fries too, a little spice was just nice ?...

Also had the strawberry cheesecake milkshake and this was soooo good??. Really good to see a new type of chicken restaurant make it's way over from the USA and I definitely look forward to trying more from the menu ???
