We had lunch on a Friday afternoon and it was almost empty. The staff are very nice but overwhelmingly hovering constantly. The starters of hummus and beetroot with delicious bread was great. The mains of Lamb Moussaka and Vegetable Moussaka with rice were okay but we've had a lot better. Once we finished our starter our mains were on the table within a few minutes. This was so annoying and makes the experience so rushed. The staff need to stand back and let customers eat their meal without being watched over constantly.

Makes sure you check your bill as we were given one that had service included in the price, but at the bottom of it in bold print it stated service not included. When questioned the waiter said oh sorry but you have to try, indicating they do this on purpose and crossed out 'NOT' before handing it back to us.I have reviewed this restaurant before as we are regulars for the restaurant and takeaway but no more after I now know they knowingly try to deceive ther customers.

Went out on Saturday just gone and witnessed one of the worst cases of customer service I've ever seen. A small party were celebrating a birthday and were treated like literal trash. From what I heard they were booked for 2 hours but we're forced out 40 minutes early.The older waiter who was dealing with the table was one of the rudest wait staff I've ever witnessed. He proceeded to rush the customers, took their food without it being finished, and argued back with the customer when called out on his behaviour. Thankfully I had a lady serving us and requested that only she serve us.How this issue was handled, in front of the whole restaurant, was honestly disgusting. My family and I had frequented Bogaz since it opened and have enjoyed the food here for years.After witnessing the customer service on Saturday we will not be coming back. It was genuinely baffling to watch and left a sour taste for a lot of people in the restaurant who had to see this.Fire your terrible wait staff and gain a better reputation.

Went out for my birthday meal with 6 friends - had the table from 6-8pm. We had been bullied away from our bread (plates being taken when not finished with) and then further bullying with the mains, people had plates taken while in the toilet and not finished with their meal. We has the bill by 7:10pm - as we were out to celebrate we would have stayed happily for drinks/desserts but we were being stood over all evening. This was all down to the older long grey haired waiter who argued with my boyfriend and proceeded to slag him off to other waiters. Disappointed to say the least as we have been coming since it opened, no longer interested.

Food fantastic, staff very polite and attentive. A great restaurant to celebrate a birthday, staff will sing while playing instruments, even get the birthday boy/girl up to play a tambourine ?. Great atmosphere.Parking: Large carpark 5/10 minute walk from restaurant. Have to pay for a parking ticket.

Love this restaurant, always pleases me with the food. I have now been going since I was 16 and have been welcomed with amazing service every time. Starters are amazing, however they bring bread and salad anyways which is lovely(with dips) . Overall, beautiful restaurant and will continue to go back.
atmosphere is so lovely!! great people great food, couldnt get enough really! 100% recommend ??thanks to tan.

Very busy on a Saturday night. Service was efficient and friendly. Breads and olives were decent to start. Had the Ottoman King, which was lamb chops with tomato, chili and and an abundance of shallots (one might call it an excess). Meat was juicy and had the taste of the grill. I would just go for the straight lamb chops next time. The Iskender was good said one of my dining companions. The cheesecake desserts were fine, but not exceptional.

Amazing service, staff and fast serving!They cater for all dietary needs.All the staff made us feel so welcome, I would highly recommend to any that are curious about coming to this restaurant.Just go, you won't regret it!Parking can be a little tricky if you haven't been to Rayleigh, but fear not there is parking behind the restaurant, google castle road car park and this is roughly a 5 minute walk.
