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

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!

Good 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, Chelmsford

Absolutely 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, 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

Had a lovely meal on a Friday evening. Family group, and we all had 3 courses from the set menu. Everyone enjoyed each course, and the food was cooked to perfection. On arrival, we were shown to a lounge area, and drinks were ordered. Also ordered our meals before being shown to our table. Everything was really nicely presented, and the service was exceptional. Although it was a warm evening, there was a nice through breeze. We will definitely be back when in the area again.

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 ???
