Cozy dining experience in Upminster

“Come here regularly and it is by far the best Indian in the area. The staff are attentive and friendly, always a good atmosphere and the food is some of the best I’ve had. The Karma Sutra is nothing like I’ve had anywhere else and the lamb in the dish was amazingly tender. I cannot wait for my next visit!”

“Exactly what I wanted in a greasy spoon. Good service, nice food. Cheap. Definitely recommended if you are smashing the charity shops on that stretch”

“Friendly clean cafe, good service, polite staff, good variety on menu”

“I love love love this place, hands down my favourite Indian and it must be everyone else's too as it's always rammed in there so 100% book a table.if you want to give it a try. The service is brilliant, the staff are friendly, welcoming and effecient, and they remember you between visits which i really like. The food here is amazing and one way another I've ordered all their sides and a lot of their mains, I normally opt for lamb anything and its divine. I've never ordered wine here as they have a good variety of beer on tap and they're always super quick with drinks. We order popodoms to start and the sauces are well presented and generous and I love the hot lemon flannel at the end. Highly recommend this place!!”

“Was looking for a local cafe for a vegetarian breakfast with good reviews, we were originally going to another cafe but luckily we decided to try this little gem! We were warmly greeted and seated quickly (given we are in the midst of COVID19). We were given paper menus and all the tables were socially distance well with a track and trace QR code on the door too. It was really well protected and safe for the patrons of the cafe. Our order was taken and we were served an amazing fresh breakfast with a tea each, for me it was a perfect portion (not too much and not too little) and filled me up. Refills were free which was great value given that they came free with our breakfast. The food is fresh and tasty and I highly recommend the vegetarian to fellow veggies or those wanting a leaner option. The hostesses were all friendly and lovely people, from a little chat when ordering to a joke when paying, it made this little cafe pop out and make it feel more like you were at a friends or family members kitchen for brekkie. I only have praise for the ladies (didn’t see any men but if there was them too). Cost was shockingly low and when we were presented with the bill I thought something was missed off but I was told nope that’s all it is, I will be going back for all the reasons listed above. Plus at this price it makes it hard to even make my own brekkie for less. Highly recommend this to all and remember to tip and support these business in these times, they are going above and beyond to keep us safe. Huge thanks to all of the hostesses (and hosts)!”

“No shortage of choices to eat and the food quality is extremely good. There's defo no chance of you leaving this cafe hungry as the portions are plentiful and the menu is priced well.”

“I often visit during the weekend when supporting young adults with autism the team are kind and supportive and very accommodating to what ever random food requests are made. The warm family welcome has made our young adults comfortable to order independently and to sit and eat. The food options are varied and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend for SEN families to visit for a meal and wander around the garden centre.”

“Best place for fried chicken, especially the wings and they are always generous when it comes to food 10/10”

“Great menu for food and drinks. I personally love the Skin Foods Smoothie and Ruby Latte! The place is aesthetically pleasing and the staffs are great :)”

“Our first time at the Jobbers Rest. I booked a 3 course meal + wine courtesy of a freebie virgin experience and from the moment me & OH arrived, we were made welcome. Ordered cheese soufflé with sauce & beetroot terrine to start, confit duck dauphinois potatoes French beans & carrots & trout with brown shrimp potato rösti, then sticky toffee pudding ice cream & pistachio soufflé & ice cream. Even the house red was very good. Cappuccino’s were good too. All courses were beautifully prepared & cooked, especially the pistachio soufflé. The service was as good as in a top class restaurant, attentive but friendly. A special shout out to Lee, our waiter, what an excellent job he’s doing, paying close attention to everything. We’re looking forward to returning very soon. Would really recommend.”

“The best Fish & Chips in town, and good customer service ...”

“We had a lovely family meal at Ginger Lounge Indian Restaurant. The food was excellent, very tasty and the service was excellent. My meal was the Bombay Sizzling Tava which is shown in the picture. Surprisingly it was not hot and spicy which is what I was expecting but very flavoursome and really quite mild. We have had a few meals here and enjoyed every meal.”

“I attended this venue for my Aunt's wake. The staff were all helpful and respectful. The room was spacious and the garden lovely. Highly recommended”

“We visited the restaurant on Xmas Eve, great atmosphere. Our waitress all evening was Jo, she was really helpful when it came to knowing the menu, my husband had the lamb, which he loved, I had the sea bass and was looking forward to the flower pot afters, Jo even checked to make sure there were still some left. We didn’t just get left, but we were asked were our courses ok and whether we wanted any more drinks. A great time was had by all. Thank you”

“Very pleasant Green King pub very handily situated virtually next door to the station. Spacious with a variety standard and high tables. Three reals ales on tap plus a range of other beers and lagers. Service is friendly and brisk whilst card carrying CAMRA members receive a discount. Typical pub menu with table service for food. A series of TV screens around the bar make it a likely venue for watching sports.”

“Visited the area from Kent to meet family and it was very good. The menu was reasonable and good choice of cider. The cocktail menu looked great. Will come back soon. The staff were friendly which makes a difference.”

“Had a fab time at the Halloween quiz. Unfortunately our team mate Phoebe Phalanges didn't really help much and we came last. Always have good food and friendly service here. We quiz here regularly (Wednesday nights) and now we are regulars we are made to feel a part of The Huntsman family.”

“Best kebabs in Rainham. The meat is cooked just right griddles to perfection, lovely and moist. Salad and bread so fresh. 5⭐”

“Best seafood around. Grant is a good bloke give him a try.”

“Had a meal from here today and was lovely and fresh. Best yet.”

“Excellent 3 course meal for 2 with wine and coffee for £66 . My swordfish was huge and superb. Waiter very attentive. Toilets were impeccable. Will definitely recommend and return!”

“Nice fresh cooked food great choice, one price then eat anything you like ...like a buffet but all cooked fresh and served to you. Salt and pepper prawns were fab we had them as starter then again with main. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for wide choice and tasty food. Lovely servers very helpful.”

“Had a lamb shish and it was delicious. Meat pieces were a good size and very tender. Salad was fresh and crunchy. Staff were polite and friendly. Would buy from there again. Quality food.”
