Restaurants in Halstead

The Shiish

The restaurant had a special deal on so it was buzzing with customers. I was welcomed at door but was sat at the back where the tables were for two. Close to the toilets. I was served initially by two young girls. The other staff were trying to guide them. I had samosas: the oil was leaking out of the corners onto salad. The serving girl forgot the cutlery. Got sorted. Had rump steak with chips and salad. And a coffee cocktail. All okay.

Spice Zone ®️

Absolutely fantastic Indian takeaway! The food was delicious – full of authentic flavours and cooked to perfection.Fresh, tasty, and well-prepared.

What made the experience even better was the excellent service. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special mention to Sakir, He was very attentive, polite, and made sure everything was just right with order. It's always great to be treated with such care.

Highly recommend this place

Cinnamon Tree

Great food and fantastic value! We went on a Wednesday so were able to take advantage of the banquet which was exceptional value. Food was tasty, hot and in abundance! We took some home with us!

The Curry Cottage

Hat of to curry cottage. Just eaten our take away and it was superb. Would highly recommend to those in and around halstead; we are further afield yet they still delivered. Very impressed

Little India

The staff are very attentive and helpful. The menu has something for everyone and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Plenty of parking. And the food is wonderful.

Super Fry Take Away

Lovely freshly made pizzas!
Very generous toppings, great value and far better than others I’ve tried locally.
Delivery is always on time, was recommended by Bamboo ?

Sugondha

Just had our first delivery from here. Food was absolutely delicious, delivery was on time, lovely driver who delivered it. Easy to order online. We had 2 mains and some side dishes. It was all so fresh, well cooked and tasty. What a find, highly recommend.

The Hook of Halstead

The Hook Halstead. Best Fish n Chips in the area. Was in yesterday my fish was cooked to perfection by Sophie. The chips were on point. Delish. Thank you! Mwah x

Star of India Halstead

I ordered food for 11 family members yesterday 26 th November to celebrate my birthday.
I had read the reviews and was quite worried as the reviews weren't great, but a family member had recommended them.
The food was ready for collection on time. It was piping hot and everything that I ordered was there.
The food was delicious. One of the nicest takeaways I've had in a long time.
I don't usually do reviews but thought it only fair to give positive feedback as the food was amazing. We will definitely use them again and I feel happy to recommended them. Also I forgot to mention it was 50% off and I've been informed they are open Christmas day, so if Turkey isn't your thing, order an Indian instead.
Thank you x

Blossom Chinese

We ordered online and then collected. Everything was piping hot, absolutely delicious, and impressive portions. We were visiting Halstead but will go here again if we’re visiting. Don’t know about delivery as we like to collect but amazing food on this occasion

Riverside Fish Bar

Fresh fish and chips always cooked to perfection, delicious and tasty! Prices are low and quality is high :) my regular chippy looking forward to my next order ??

USA Fried Chicken

Top notch takeaway and by far the best in the area! It really is a cut above the rest. The food is always so tasty and the pizzas are unbelievable! The hot wings are also one of the best I’ve ever had! And they are always so quick to deliver! Just perfect!

The Apple Tree

Well priced for a sunday roast. Lovely staff, attentive. Would visit again. Next to the lake, lovely views. Could open the restaurant with open planning as our table was behind a wall with only a couple of tables. Meat was delicious, large portions but vegs need seasoning and not frozen. Anticipated. Few improvements could make this a secret sanctuary for a Sunday roast.

The White Lion

A big thank you to Cindy and Sally for all your kindness and thoughtfulness helping us to celebrate our mums life on Friday 6th December. The surroundings and refreshments were perfect. We hope to see you soon xx

The Locomotive Pub & Restaurant

What a wonderful find, traditional pub, community driven, comfortable and welcoming.
A group a friend's (20 of us) needs somewhere to meet, the Locomotive was the only local establishment that was will to accommodate us.
We precooked our food order to help, and it was flawless, the was tasy hot, and delivered with a smile.
The staff were brilliant throughout.
The railway memorabilia that donned every was was fascinating.
Well done The Locomotive, and thank you, for hosting our little gathering.

The Little Book Cafe

We went there for breakfast. It's a cute little cafe with lots of character. We chose to sit in the garden which was lovely. The people were lovely and friendly. The food was delicious and good size portion too. The sour dough toast was a treat with the homemade baked beans. I'll be going back for sure.

The Three Pigeons

The best pub in Essex. The staff are always incredibly friendly with the atmosphere to go with it… the beer festival was amazing. The staff coped with the crowd very well ?Thank you the three pigeons ? ? ?

Hedingham Chippy

We recently moved to Gosfield and my hairdresser recommended this chip shop. On Friday tried our first cod & chips, sausage for the dog and it was absolutely the best we have had in a long time well cooked, good size portions, well very good to be honest, and very friendly service, will definitely be back, thank you.

Yvonne's Cafe & Take-Away

Yvonne and Rebecca are excellent hosts/owners and always give service with a smile. I'm a repeat customer as I work 2 mins away and the food is always exceptional! Would 100% recommend ??

Imjai

Fantastic food, terrible service. Food is delicious, it was served piping hot and full of flavour. This is probably the best Thai food I’ve had outside of Thailand. However, the service was unreasonably slow. It took over ten minutes after we were seated for the waitresses to ask for our drink orders, and then another half hour to take our food order. It was a midweek visit, and the restaurant wasn't even busy. I won't be returning for a sit down but will certainly order a takeaway and will do so regularly.

The Royal Oak

The new owners Colin and LJ are great nice polite people, go there every weekend for the entertainment especially Friday night karaoke and disco night. Dj plays to the crowd.

Snack Shack at Gosfield Lake

We visited the snack shack last weekend. Couldn’t recommend it more if I tried, the food was amazing and the meat is spot on. I’m a very fussy eater and Matt took that into consideration. The prices are very reasonable and I can’t wait to come back again soon! Very welcoming and friendly!

Bodrum Kebab

Amazing food . Very friendly staff . Never been let down by them . Staff are friendly and welcoming . They work very hard . Preparation of food is amazing . I am there most weekends .

The River Table

Stayed here for one night with family, and have to say it was a comfy night, the hotel is in the town and close to everything. Tom was very polite and welcoming and even showed us to our room, which is something that I've never experienced before. It is very reasonably priced The rooms were ok, they were clean and comfy beds but the room could do with a bit of a refresh. Other than that I had no issues at all. I would stay again ?

Jubilee Take Away

Foods fantastic can't fault it at all and the service at the front desk is banter tastik, that's if you have the banter. There very busy so if you want to eat early you need to be eat here there to order or play the lottery on the phone. I know this is a small thing but there cash only and don't have a online service and also no card machine so you can pay by card so make sure you bring your cash. Other than that highly recommended as you can't go wrong at all.

Ps. One thing I can recommend to do is update the seating for waiting customers as your butt will hurt ?

Costa Coffee Halstead

I visit Costa nearly everyday and I have to say that the staff are very friendly and helpful. I think they do a great job sometimes it is very busy but you have to understand that's the way it is. I've heard people moan but the coffee machine and all the other gadgets they have can only go as fast as they can. So people who do criticise should try it themselves and see what happens. Anyway I think they do a brilliant job
