Kaani Kaana - Bangladeshi and Indian Takeaway Chelmsford
18 Duke St, ChelmsfordAmazing service, amazing food and super lovely staff.We moved into our new flat yesterday and was given a slightly wrong address by the agency, so our food ended up being delivered to the wrong address! Annoyingly, the other residents happily took the free food without question (who could blame them but seriously? There’s a special place waiting for youWe called the restaurant and they swiftly sorted the issue, and I picked up the second order of food directly from the restaurant to avoid any issues with delivery. The staff were very apologetic about the issue we had and instead of charging us the full amount again, we paid a highly discounted rate which was extremely kind of them as most restaurants would charge you again or refuse altogether, especially how late the food had to be remade.Overall the food was absolutely delicious and definitely the best takeaway my partner and I have ever experienced. The staff were lovely, kind and helpful throughout the whole ordeal and we will definitely be solely ordering from this restaurant in the future. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you team!

Harvester Plough Chelmsford
Essex, 306 Springfield Rd, Springfield, ChelmsfordTook my two girls to this Harvester this evening. My youngest has a severe allergy to tomato and red pepper. Naomi was outstanding and listening to the allergy details and then making recommendations. We've been to other Harvesters lots, but this was the first time we'd had the offer of a salad bowl being put together from the kitchen, to avoid cross-contamination at the main salad bar.Kudos to Alan in the kitchen too - for making the effort to wipe down and clean before prepping the food - not something we expected to hear about - but was so refreshing to hear from Naomi that they were hearing us.It's not often you get this sort of attention to an allergy that isn't that common and rarely listed out on menus. We do our own research before going to a place - but this evening we didn't have to - and that's all down to the beyond excellent service from Naomi and Alan. Thank you for making our meal so easy and lovely! A credit to the team. (My daughters also wanted to say something - below)Dietary restrictions: Tomato and Red Pepper AllegeryKid-friendliness: "Thank you for taking care of my allergy and making my dinner easy to eat."

Taste of Italy Pizza Bar
4, Dukes Walk, Duke St, ChelmsfordMy recent visit to this charming Italian restaurant was a truly memorable culinary experience. From the first bite of the exquisite pizza to the last sip of wine, every moment was a delight to the senses.The quality of the ingredients used in the pizza was notable, and the resulting flavor was simply sublime. Additionally, I must commend the impeccable service I received from the staff, who demonstrated genuine kindness and attention to detail that added an extra touch of warmth to the evening.I have no hesitation in recommending this place to any lover of fine Italian cuisine, and personally, I am eagerly looking forward to returning and indulging once again in their exquisite dishes and unmatched hospitality."

Pakwaan Indian Punjabi Cuisine
1 Bridge St, Writtle, ChelmsfordA Beloved Indian Spot Taking a Wrong TurnPakwaan has long been a favourite destination for those seeking an elevated Indian dining experience that breaks free from the traditional curry house mold. With its contemporary ambiance and innovative twists on classic dishes, it has carved out a niche for itself among discerning diners. However, my recent visit on Saturday, March 30th, left me with a nagging concern that the restaurant may be veering off course.Let me preface this by saying that the food quality and service remain impeccable, and the overall atmosphere is as inviting as ever. My qualms lie solely with the recent pricing adjustments, which, in my opinion, risk alienating a significant portion of their clientele.The most glaring example is the Chicken Biryani, now priced at just under £20. While this dish has always been a standout, such a steep price tag for a relatively simple offering seems excessive, even in the context of London's dining scene.Similarly, the Chicken Masala Buna, a staple of the menu, now hovers around £19, pushing the boundaries of what most would consider reasonable for a classic curry dish.But perhaps the most egregious offense is the starting price for a bottle of white wine, which now stands at an eye-watering £29. This pricing strategy seems to be at odds with Packwaancasual, accessible vibe and risks pricing out a significant portion of their customer base.While I understand the need for restaurants to adapt to changing market conditions, such drastic price hikes often come at the cost of alienating loyal patrons. In a city teeming with exceptional Indian dining options, Packwaan pricing strategy may prove to be a misstep, potentially driving customers toward more affordable alternatives.It pains me to voice these concerns, as Packwaan has long been a personal favourite. However, if these pricing trends continue, I fear that the restaurant may lose some of its charm and accessibility, straying too far from the principles that made it such a beloved destination in the first place.

Luigi's Al Fresco at The Griffin
64 Main Rd, Danbury, ChelmsfordI honestly cannot urge anyone enough to choose this place (Luigis at the Griffin) if they are looking to celebrate a special occasion. I booked here for my Mums surprise 60th Birthday Meal, there were 16 of us and from start (initial booking) to 11:45pm when we left on the night of 29th March we were amazed!! We did a pre order for each of the meals as it was a large group booking and each person was handed their chosen food personally by name, it all came out at the same time (we really were SO impressed and do not know how they pulled it off) it ran like clockwork. I also took many, many decorations to the restaurant the night before and left many notes asking to set table according to a seating plan etc and when I arrived it was set out exactly as I asked for it to be set out (they even called me on the day to say it was all ready) I was absolutely amazed at the team on the night, one of the waiters was called Melissa, then there were another 2 men who were also working alongside the lady Melissa and they were a dream team. I asked for my Mums tea to be brought out in a special mug I had made and they did it for me, I also wanted to wait to do Birthday cake because we wanted to watch Mum open some gifts and even though it was getting late, they never rushed us AT ALL, they said we can do the cake anytime we wanted and we felt such at ease and relaxed the whole time. Nothing was too much bother, everything was SPOT ON and as for the food, it was honestly the BEST pizza we have tasted!!! Every guest commented on the food and my 90 year old Nan said the team made it for us and she has had many celebrations in her time. I feel I have found a hidden gem for life with this restaurant. My Mum who had the surprise celebration for her 60th cannot wait to come back and neither can I or my brothers. I honestly don’t know what to do or say to thank them for making our night one to remember forever. You all made my Mums birthday and for that I will be forever grateful. Cant wait to come back soon, am already craving the taste of the delicious pizza. Thank you so SO much to you all! (& to Louise, the manager who showed me around pre booking and helped me via email with my pre orders, thank you so so much) from Sarah (Diane’s 60th Birthday booking at 7pm on 29th March)Dietary restrictions: One of the guests was coeliac and there are many gluten free options!!

Otaru Sushi and Grill
13 Baddow Rd, ChelmsfordThis pains me a little because we have been there a few times - first time was amazing, second time, meh.The service and people are friendly and attentive, every time.The food - anything other than sushi was excellent.Now the sushi (which is why we go); first time, almost faultless.Second time, it was virtually just rice. Huge rice rolls, thick, wide, with ever smaller fillings. If you're unlucky enough to get an end cut - might as well just be a big square of rice.Perhaps this is just a "bottomless" menu trick, where they try to fill you with as much rice as possible so you eat less.Just a shame because the first time we went this was not a problem in the slightest.It's still a 4 because the service and non-sushi food was great. But as we go for the sushi, we won't be returning.

Unit 2-3, The Exchange Shopping Centre, Exchange Way, ChelmsfordThis afternoon was the first time I had been to Turquoise Kitchen in Chelmsford, and I will most definitely return. All of the food was delicious and at the table in no time at all. The resraurant itself has such a calm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble, especially for Oljay who was incredibly attentive. Would highly recommend you book a table and support the service Oljay and his team are providing. Thanks for a great experience.

From the first bite of the exquisite pizza to the last sip of wine, every moment was a delight to the senses.The quality of the ingredients used in the pizza was notable, and the resulting flavor was simply sublime. Additionally, I must commend the impeccable service I received from the staff, who demonstrated genuine kindness and attention to detail that added an extra touch of warmth to the evening.I have no hesitation in recommending this place to any lover of fine Italian cuisine, and personally, I am eagerly looking forward to returning and indulging once again in their exquisite dishes and unmatched hospitality."

Olio on the Green
12-14 The Green, Writtle, ChelmsfordHad a fabulous Mother’s Day treat at Olio on the Green! Absolutely love this restaurant! It was a set menu but still had great options. The sea bass was amazing as always, as were the sardines. The best bit though are the wonderful staff who go out of their way to give you the warmest welcome which they have done each time we’ve eaten there. Service was excellent, we had drinks when we needed them and the food just right, not rushed but not left waiting. We look forward to visiting in the better weather to sit outside and watch the ducks on The Green ?. Highly recommend this beautiful restaurant ☺️

Amalfi
Unit 12A, 2 Cromar Way, ChelmsfordBeen wanting to try this place since they moved from the industrial estate. So when in town wondering where do go for lunch we thought we'd give it a go.The whole place is very nicely decorated throughout, very clean, seriously comfy seats and a very pleasant toilet.Prices are very reasonable and the food was great.We had the Pappardelle con Cozze e Fagioli and Spaghetti Amatriciana which were both great but the highlight was the Pistachio Tiramisu... Wow. I could forgo the starter and main and just have 3 or 4 of those ?I'd imagine with the quality of food and the reasonable pricing, evenings get very busy very quickly.Our only negative and it is only a small one is that while my wife was still eating, the waitress came and took my plate away. (some people I'm sure are OK with this but you really should wait until everyone's finished eating)We'll definitely be back to try the evening service soon.

Horse & Groom
Roxwell Rd, Writtle, ChelmsfordLovey setting and very pleasant inside, although in places the decor could do with a bit of tlc. Staff are on the ball, attentive but not intrusive. Food was largely excellent, very fresh and hot and seasoned to perfection. The wife's steak was a little tough but not enough to ruin the meal. Some evenings they have "Specials" which sound appealing. Price wise it's on par with most, plus it's part of the "Chef and Brewer" chain so the menu can be found everywhere. All in all, a pleasant experience.Update... Return visit, still just as good.Parking: Large car park, plenty of spaces. Sunday lunch time is the busiest time but still shouldn't be a problem parking.

Pakwaan Indian Punjabi Cuisine
1 Bridge St, Writtle, ChelmsfordA Beloved Indian Spot Taking a Wrong TurnPakwaan has long been a favourite destination for those seeking an elevated Indian dining experience that breaks free from the traditional curry house mold. With its contemporary ambiance and innovative twists on classic dishes, it has carved out a niche for itself among discerning diners. However, my recent visit on Saturday, March 30th, left me with a nagging concern that the restaurant may be veering off course.Let me preface this by saying that the food quality and service remain impeccable, and the overall atmosphere is as inviting as ever. My qualms lie solely with the recent pricing adjustments, which, in my opinion, risk alienating a significant portion of their clientele.The most glaring example is the Chicken Biryani, now priced at just under £20. While this dish has always been a standout, such a steep price tag for a relatively simple offering seems excessive, even in the context of London's dining scene.Similarly, the Chicken Masala Buna, a staple of the menu, now hovers around £19, pushing the boundaries of what most would consider reasonable for a classic curry dish.But perhaps the most egregious offense is the starting price for a bottle of white wine, which now stands at an eye-watering £29. This pricing strategy seems to be at odds with Packwaancasual, accessible vibe and risks pricing out a significant portion of their customer base.While I understand the need for restaurants to adapt to changing market conditions, such drastic price hikes often come at the cost of alienating loyal patrons. In a city teeming with exceptional Indian dining options, Packwaan pricing strategy may prove to be a misstep, potentially driving customers toward more affordable alternatives.It pains me to voice these concerns, as Packwaan has long been a personal favourite. However, if these pricing trends continue, I fear that the restaurant may lose some of its charm and accessibility, straying too far from the principles that made it such a beloved destination in the first place.
