Pizza Hut Delivery

ordered a Margherita Pizza, and it came extremely quickly and just the way i wanted it. Service was great from all the staff including the manager. Will be coming again soon!

The Kara

The kebabs and overall dining experience at Kara Grays were an absolute delight. The Chop Special Kebab was, without doubt, the best I’ve ever had. I’ll let the photo speak for itself. Cooked to perfection.

Thank you for an unforgettable meal from both myself and my partner.

Thai Express (Lakeside)

Thai Express Lakeside is really good place to get some of your yummy meals. Staff is courteous and lovely. Food is authentic too. Look out for Ahmad, really cool guy and great customer service!

You Me Sushi

Easy, fast, and good - I can’t recommend this cozy sushi stop enough!! There is always an amazing selection of boxes to choose from, as well as a menu in case they are missing anything you want and the service is really good. The owners energy is super welcoming and kind, and though this is perfect for takeout I really recommend sitting inside and eating as well :) Discount for students as well!

Izgara Meze Restaurant

Amazing restaurant….the staff and the food is 5❤️……We received Turkish tea for free and baklava.I definitely recommend this restaurant.Best place in Grays❤️

The Kings Arms

We received an amazing service from the 2 beautiful ladies Kay & Vicki who run / own the kings arms for my Nieces baby shower yesterday, nothing was to much or a problem.

The garden room is tastefully decorated, modern & sparking clean.

The food for the Buffett was delicious and the chefs couldn’t offer or do enough, everyone enjoyed all the food and scoffed it all.

And not to forget the amazing ladies Kay & vilkki saved us when our balloon arch wasn’t quite going to plan, they saved the day, wonder women they are.

All the staff were super helpful, Pleasant & delightful.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ??

The Dog & Partridge

You Me Sushi

Really enjoyed my lunch today with my sushi lover friends — quality of the sushi was fabulous and excellent service from Ilky, who was welcoming, professional and helpful throughout. A very enjoyable visit!

Essex Fish Bar

Essex Fish Bar is excellent – everything you want from a proper chippy. The fish is fresh, perfectly crisp in light golden batter, and the chips are hot, fluffy, and generous. Service is friendly and quick, and portions offer real value. A reliable, tasty favourite every time.

The Oak

Siobhan is a great member of the bar staff she pulls her weight has great communication and customer service skills as with all staff , atmosphere is great food is well presented and tastes good and the pub overall is clean and tidy

Farm Pizza

Cozy service and some of the nicest staff you’ll meet. I have been coming here since I was 13 and now I am 21. They have barely increased their prices which is a rare sight in today’s economy, while maintaining the standards and even improving them. While not living in grays anymore, I will make the trip just for this place. 10/10

Desi Indian Dining Club

Absolutely amazing experience! We went for the breakfast menu and everything was great. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout. They even surprised us with some complimentary food on top of what we ordered, which was such a lovely touch. The customer service was genuinely 10/10 — you can tell they really care about their customers. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back again!

Zizzi - Lakeside

Went here for the first time today with my brother and food was outstanding in particular the Mushroom Brinidisi. Huge thanks to Jacek and the other staff for the exceptional and warm hospitality!

KUSHI Lakeside

Really chilled, friendly vibe from the moment we walked in. The staff were super welcoming, and Sunny especially stood out—he made sure we had everything we needed and kept things relaxed and chatty without overdoing it. The food was great too—nice and fresh, and full of flavour. Highly recommend! All the best Roksana&Karol

Essex Grill 2

The food is spectacular the chicken is very succulent and juicy! The service is always top tier and the kebab is absolutely outstanding! Ten out of ten, out of this world, I would definitely recommend!

New Delhi Indian Restaurant Grays

Had a meal there this week and the food was excellent and so tasty. I also want to thank the staff, particularly the younger member of staff, who helped me find my wedding ring as I left the restaurant. My husband died 4 years ago so it's extra special to me. The staff were wonderful.

Grays

Just would like to say me and my fiancee went here on the off chance to go out and have a bite of lunch as we've got a rare day off together so we came to the harvester , we found the service was good as the lady who served us her name was called Vicky she was friendly also very attentive towards us from the moment we sat down to have our meals. Thank you Vicky for a good service

Grays Express

Very nice place overall, the lunchtime meal of 6 wings, chips and a drink is a great deal for the price. The staff if very friendly and welcoming. I would reccommend this place for a quick meal or a warm dinner.

Ship

The atmosphere here is always 10/10, friendly people and friendly staff, all the food is amazing but the kids nuggets are the best I have ever had, the type of place that makes you feel at home, definitely worth a visit ❤️

The Garden Brasserie

A ambulance driver loves stopping here for a coffee to go. Sadly the coffee machine has broken and listening to the conversation, they were told management can not afford a replacement and they can't have a kettle
So I am appealing to you, if anyone can donate a new professional coffee machine, or a secondhand pac tested machine, I'm sure it will make many patients, visitors, staff happy. Even better if you can drop it off.

Pizza Express

Visited Lakeside for the first time. Got served by waiter Anthony. He was so lovely and polite he’s an absolute credit to this establishment! He seemed to genuinely care how our experience and food was. Thank you so much you made my day!!

Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK)

I was served by the lovely Amanda and caoimhe, couldn’t have asked for any better, they were friendly, quick and just lovely . Thank you for the great customer service guys!

Pepe's

Pepe's Piri Piri serves delicious food with amazing flavour and perfectly grilled chicken. The spicy piri piri sauce is rich, tasty, and full of bold seasoning. Every meal feels fresh, hot, juicy, and satisfying. The burgers, wraps, rice boxes, and wings are always cooked well and presented nicely. Staff members are friendly, welcoming, polite, and quick with service. The restaurant atmosphere feels clean, comfortable, and enjoyable for families and friends. Customers love the variety of spice levels from mild to extra hot. The portions are generous, affordable, and great value for money. The fries are crispy, the chicken is tender, and the sauces are addictive. Delivery is usually fast and reliable, while takeaway orders stay warm and fresh. Many people return because of the consistent quality, exciting taste, and excellent customer service. Pepe’s Piri Piri is a fantastic place for lunch, dinner.

Cafe Giardino Lakeside

We had breakfast very early. Its a bit pricey for what it is, 1 egg, 1 sausage, 1 small bacon. 1 toast.. for £12. Guess its about the rental
Staff were quick and helpful.

Dock Cafe

Never been in here before and the food was incredible! Amazing food,amazing service and lovely chilled atmosphere!

Will definitely be visiting again!

Five Guys

Really good burgers, very generous with their chips.

Even though they have their own seating you feel very aware you are in a shopping centre.

Tortilla Lakeside

Really impressed by the level of customer service received by Mirela and Simona. They were very helpful and friendly. The food was amazing. I would recommend this place 100%

Happy House

The business is a takeaway so rating the atmosphere is irrelevant.

The food though was very good and not as expensive as some places locally.
Nice tasting food which wasn't greasy or oily.

I've been looking for a local Chinese takeaway since moving to the area, now I think I have found my favourite!

Oriental Kitchen

Tasty food, ordering on website was easy, delivery wasn't too long, paid by card when delivered which was handy, menu selection was good. I would order again.

Starbucks Coffee

Decent branch with very friendly staff but beverages can be inconsistent.My usual order at any Starbucks is a matcha latte which is unfortunately pretty hit-and-miss at this branch. Some days the matcha content is more evident, others it just tastes like a frothy hot drink with no flavour. On the flip-side, the strawberry refresher was a lifesaver throughout the summer, a perfect way to cool down on those hot days and so did not disappoint whenever ordered.The beyond-meat sandwich was great value and is also heated up to enjoy it as much as possible!

Akash Restaurant & Takeaway Grays

The staff was really appreciated and the taste was so good and also the service is very quik ...Thankyou Akash ...highly recommended to everyone who lives near grays or chadwell..

Nando's Lakeside - The Boardwalk

Went here on a Sunday evening, and my little one was a bit moody, but Sarah C - general manager was amazing with her. She gave her a game to play which calmed her down, which also helped her eat her food. If you go in with kids, then please know they are more than welcomed. I will always come to this one in the future

Wimpy

Wimpy has always been one of my favourite places to eat and every time I see one I have to eat in one. I'm always so happy that a contents creator vlogged about all of the in the uk

ASK Italian

Lovely atmosphere,incredible service by our server Robertas and gorgeous food by chef Riley. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to experience authentic Italian cuisine.

Amorino Gelato - Lakeside

Lots of flavours to choose from. The best part is they have a seating and you can enjoy in nice ambience. I love fruits ice cream and my husband is more of chocolate lover and both of our cravings are sorted at one place.

Village Indiya Restaurant

Absolutely super curry.... we ordered a Takeaway yesterday. Lots of little sources. Great taste some little extras.
whilst waiting to pick up the curry at the curry house i went to order a beer and they just said the beers on the house.
super friendly.
Nice little touch for someone to just offer a beer on the house. Thank U

The Whitmore Arms

We went to the pub for a party on Saturday night and had a great night. Lovely landlady and staff, gorgeous buffet and plenty of variety, had a brilliant time and will definitely return. Thank you so much

Man Must Wack African Restaurant

I have been eating oha soup , this one from man must wack is different. So delicious with the poundo yam . At the beginning i thought the food was for two as it was so full and plenty in the plate. It worth the price. Service was excellent and superb . I made the location my home of African food anytime I come to Essex.

Munch kings

Finally, a proper fish and chips. I almost forget what a good fish and chips actually tastes like until I just decided to pop in an order here. Honestly delicious, crispy, good texture, seasoned to perfection and great & friendly service.

Casco Lounge

This was our first visit. Met here to start a work night out. It wasn't too busy when we arrived at 6.30pm, which suited us. Got busy through the night. The food was amazing, very fresh, well presented, great taste and great value for money. Cocktails are 2 (of the same) for £13.50 so how could we not lol. We tried a 'few'. All were well presented and tasted amazing, im recommending the Cherry Bakewell. The staff were friendly and efficient, making the whole experience one to remember, and one we want to repeat.

Cafe Lodge

I don’t write too many reviews but I just had to for this little gem we came across today , Our first time here as we was working in the area. I had a hot chocolate and it has got to be the best hot chocolate I’ve ever tried, my husband had a baguette and gave it a 10 out of 10!!! Highly recommend.

Mangal Meze

Always freshly cooked food that tastes delicious. We always get the chefs special which can feed 3/4 people. The staff are very friendly and know how to make a good kebab. The restaurant is always clean no matter how busy it gets.

Tim Hortons

The guys are very helpful give me the address as I Missed my connection as a colleague is picking me up nothing was to much trouble

Brilliant guys

Voujon Indian Restaurant

Blessed to have them as my neighbours, my gf and I have been getting takeaway from them more often and the food has always been amazing! Their staff, Masum, always suggests the best items in the menu.

Chopsys

Excellent BLT sandwich, bacon was nicely cooked with a good flavour. Lots of mayonnaise with fresh crispy iceberg and juicy tomato. Pleasently surprised and very satisfied with my lunch today . Friendly service and reasonably priced . Support your local cafe . Hoping to go back and try their baked potatos soon.

Rams Kebab

this was one of the best burger vans i have ever been too quick delivery’s also very friendly people whether you go there or get delivery the food is exceptional and people are respectful and polite

Hing Long

Well I must say normally use wings. But after a change to Hing long further down road. Chow mien .portion is huge..chicken Hong Kong stile was great. Chicken curry comes with chips.free prawn crackers. Best chow mein .thankyou

Tuk Tuk Grays

This is by far the best takeaway in Essex. I’ve been ordering from here for a good few years and have never had a bad experience. The food is the freshest, hottest and most tastiest food. Tonight we had katsu chicken and rice, beef chow mein, vegetable gyoza … but the bau buns are also incredible. The meat is of good quality, and the veggie options are fantastic. The Thai spring rolls are also amazing. It’s well worth the money! Would always order from here.

The Fox Orsett

I've only visited this pub for a few minutes but from what I could see and feel. It just had such a wonderful atmosphere, bar staff are friendly and just a nice place for the locals to relax after a hard day.

German Doner Kebab

Food is always delicious and top notch. Doner meat is fresh and juicy. Always come here with family. Staff is very welcoming and friendly they guide very well according to cravings.

Escape Restaurant & Bar

Other long before you arrive or wait for nearly 2 hours.
Nice food, good taste great value. Prices are very okay. They just need a bit of more food safety, especially when serving and working through people with a plate of food that is not covered.

Morrisons Cafe

I had a very positive shopping experience during my recent visit. The store was clean, well-organised, and easy to navigate. The shelves were well stocked, and I was able to find everything I needed without any difficulty. The fresh produce section looked fresh and high quality, especially the fruits and vegetables.
The staff were friendly and helpful whenever I needed assistance. The checkout process was smooth and quick, and the self-checkout area was well managed. Overall, I felt satisfied and happy with my visit. Morrisons offers good value for money and a pleasant shopping environment, which is why I would highly recommend it to friends and family.

Premier Grays - High Street

Caffè Nero

☕ Caffè Nero – Relaxing Vibe & Great Coffee

Caffè Nero is one of my favorite places for a coffee break. The atmosphere is calm and cozy, with soft lighting and comfy seating — perfect for reading, working, or catching up with friends.

The coffee is rich and smooth, especially the cappuccino and flat white. You can tell they care about quality, and the baristas usually get it just right. I also like their pastries and paninis — fresh, warm, and tasty without being too expensive.

Service is friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. Some locations can get crowded, especially around lunchtime, but there’s usually space if you're patient.

Overall: A great spot to relax with a well-made coffee and a bite to eat. It feels a bit more relaxed and personal than some other chains.

⭐ Rating: 9/10

Stallions 2

I love this place so much kebabs are so bloody lovely. The shawaramas they do there is the best thing on the menu so far and milkshakes are on point with thickness!! Defo recommend the turkish people there are very lovely and welcome you.

Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe

Been in on multiple occasions for sugar free pick & mix and Sam has always made sure that the pan has been cleaned out before she packs my things as I can’t have sugar, always so polite and friendly and answers any questions I have! Thank you Sam!?

Chillos Peri Peri

Love coming to this chicken chip shop, they have some amazing peri peri chips. I guarantee that the food there will be worth it once you try it out their chips. Also, there is great customer service and the people there are nice, and managed to get the order correctly

Subway

The food was good ...the staff followed exactly my order,
I really enjoyed
The only thing that bothers me is they' allows the delivery drivers to sit in,and they we very loud and rude ...
Most likely I will return back I enjoyed the food ?

Burger King

Visited Burger King in Grays. Located in Grays Shopping Center next to Costa Coffee.\\nSpacious seating facility. Clean, well organised shop floor with friendly, excellent customer service.\\nCoffee machine was not working which can happen, friendly staff offered me alternative drinks available. Very good experience- if you like Burger King, then this Burger King at Grays town center is a must visit.

Shakeaway

Amazing milkshake (most of the time). sometimes there are lumps in the shakes where it hasn’t been blended / made correctly. Prices are quite high and most staff are friendly but there are ones who really make it obvious they don’t want to be there. Cash isn’t always available in change so card is probably best.
