Kaani Kaana - Bangladeshi and Indian Takeaway Chelmsford

18 Duke St, Chelmsford

Ordered 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, Chelmsford

I 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!

Turtle Bay Chelmsford

22-24 The Exchange Way, Chelmsford

We visited Turtle Bay Chelmsford on the opening weekend after its recent refurbishment, and we were seriously impressed! The new decor is a massive improvement—modern, vibrant, and full of character, making for a fantastic atmosphere. We opted for the Beach Brunch, which was excellent. The food was well-prepared, full of flavour, and really hit the spot. The cocktails were just as impressive—each one was delicious, but the standout for both me and my wife was the Passion Fruit Rumtini. It was perfectly balanced and incredibly tasty. What truly made our visit memorable, though, was the outstanding service. From the moment we arrived, we were well looked after—whether at our table during brunch or later at the bar. The team was friendly, attentive, and really added to the experience. Overall, a brilliant visit—great food, amazing drinks, and top-tier service. We’ll definitely be back!

Fête at Grays Brewery Yard

Unit 10 - 13 Grays, Brewery Yard, Chelmsford

We 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

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, Chelmsford

We 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

The Cricketers Inn

Great pub as it has a function room for hire for special occasions. 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.

We had a fabulous party for my 10year old and 7 friends.
The staff were so friendly knowledgeable, kind and fun. Our chef was Carlos. He kindly and gently supported all of the girls and put them all at ease with a big smile. The manager also joined in with entertainment at different times, a ready smile and joke. He also did a couple of rounds of musical statues. Very jovial and high spirited and easy going staff. Much appreciated.
The girls were treated to a starter (dough balls and salad), their own pizza with lots of topping choices and ice cream with sauces. They also had unlimited squash.
There was an activity sheet for each person. It cost around £15 each, which is very reasonable, for a 3 course meal with the added bonus of a fun activity, knowledge and lasted around 2 hrs.
We took a game with us too so we could entertain ourselves a bit longer so as to coincide with the cinema. We were also allowed to take banners etc to decorate but no confetti stuff.

The only thing we found a bit hard was trying to speak to the restaurant beforehand. The phone is never answered, same with emails. We live about 35 mins away so had to keep driving in to discuss anything. We spoke to different people each time and got slightly different answers from each of them regarding ability to change timings and party games etc. But all in all this didn't matter on the day as nothing was too much trouble and they're so easy going.
Thank you for such a lovely party!

Extra info....they only do parties on Sundays. These are often upstairs which is also where the toilets are. They don't do parties in December or if anything major is happening in town like festivals etc.

My daughter said it was the best party ever!

The fish is 10/10, not slimy but smooth and the batter is crispy without killing your teeth. On top of that staff are super friendly and welcoming to the shop. The pricing is good value for what you get and in my opinion is more than worth it.
Only thing to remember is they only take cash!

Lek's Thai Food

Kiosk 1, Chelmsford Retail Market, Bellmead, Chelmsford

Had seen the reviews on this place and thought give it a try. Not disappointed at
all. The food is well made, amazing flavours and just delicious. We have since been back and was pleased to have some spring rolls made especially as they had sold out. I would highly recommend this place and have already recommended to friends and family. We had Thai green curry with both pork and veg spring rolls, yum yum

The Fish Shop

7B Bridge St, Writtle, Chelmsford

Lovely - I placed an order for collection which was ready when I arrived. The fish was absolutely delicious, wonderful flavour and perfectly cooked. The chips were so much better than I have had elsewhere - not greasy, fried to perfection and no nasty burnt refried bits at all ( plenty of crispy, little ones though). Absolutely perfect!

Followed by pepper and feta quiche ( with accompaniments.(x2) Omg we’ve never had such a lovely light quiche. Best ever. One of us had the chicken Kiev. Loved it! One the Moules Marineres again fab. Too full for desert but thoroughly enjoyed everything. Fat and full. Great service. Owners and staff lovely and attentive. Place was jam packed for a reason.

Back-Inn Time

Victoria Rd, Chelmsford

Very impressed by service.. staff seemed to enjoy working there and were very friendly. Very retro American vibes and a train that runs round the ceiling. Food arrived in a good time and was delicious… just enough on the plate for me to finish. Very reasonably priced as well for what you’re getting. Only negative we went and it was about ten people’s birthdays so every 10 mins the lights went out for the next birthday cake. But would still go back and 100% recommend!

Wow, really enjoyed this. Original Chicken was delicious with a lovely crispy coating, not greasy at all. Absolutely loved the coated fries too, a little spice was just nice ?... The American biscuit was really nice with a lovely crunch but softer inside and is really delicious when dipping in the Popeye's gravy. 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 ???
