Family friendly dinners in Brentwood

“Best starter platter ever! Creamed mushroom, cheese fingers.My friend loved his halloumi vegetarian main course and my lamb skewer was melt-in- the-mouth tender, cooked to perfection. Baklava as afters- wonderful.”

“Great food, nice bubble tea and good quality sushi.”

“Excellent Thai food. I just love my green curry but the starters and Pad Thai are also excellent here!”

“Had a really tasty lamb curry, great portion sizes. Best curry I've had in a while!”

“The food at this place was amazing we went for a birthday as it’s a brilliant place to go for an occasion, so much flavour in all the dishes and the staff were very friendly.”

“Had first courses, wine and dessert. Service was nice and swift. Everything we had was good.”

“I went here on a Saturday night to catch up with some friends I hadn't seen in a while. The atmosphere was nice and quiet, something people forget to appreciate. The food was as expected my only criticism was the menu was varied but items that were a particular type of meal weren't varied enough, the calzone had two options? They tasted great but would have liked a few different flavours.”

“I work down the road from this place and everyone uses it. Staff are very friendly and the food is always delivered quickly. Very tasty, by far the best butter chicken I've had in Essex.”

“Absolute delight the best tasted in Brentwood so far . Don’t miss veggie pizza”

“We had an amazing meal this evening, the food was amazing and the staff were even better. They were so helpful and very friendly, always making sure we had everything we needed. We were staying in the hotel which meant the kids got a free 3 course meal which made our evening even better. We will 100% return next time we are in the area x”

“What a perfect authentic Italian! Food was delicious, the portion size was very generous and the service was impeccable. Newly established business which by far is best Italian (my opinion) in brentwood I could not recommend enough The owner Walter was very welcoming and nice I'm looking forward to my next visit.”

“I been the first time in this little cafe bistro and it was friendly, welcoming very clean and food and staff outstanding, I cam in with my friend and we both enjoyed our stay. Definitely come back here! The staff did not rush us and been absolutely polite and friendly!”

“Literally THE cutest and loveliest cafe in Brentwood. The cleanliness is spot on and food and portions give airport breakfast vibes. No grease and great quality food items used!”

“Proper cafe with no fancy nonsense food. Always good portion sizes.”

“Best in Brentwood in my opinion. I normally have the medium cod and it is good quality and more of a large size compared with everywhere else. Chips are a generous portion also. I really like the curry sauce, proper Chinese takeaway style. Happy to recommend Chris' to anyone.”

“Fantastic food, beautifully prepared. Outstanding service! (Special mention for our waitress Eva)”

“Lovely meal from their Christmas Menu. Always beautiful inside & the people are lovely. One of my favourite places to visit.”

“What a beautiful experience, from start to finish me and my family were treated less like customers and more like... Family. The excellent service was complimented by authentic and delicious Italian food. There were a couple of order miscommunications, but they were resolved quickly and comfortably. Whilst it was a little noisy at first, this was quickly drowned out by a beautiful musical performance from a solo artist creating a unique experience I didn't think could be found in Brentwood. 3 courses with drinks for just £30ish per head for a group of 5, I can't wait to come back. If you like good food and good company, you need to check out Tarantinos.”

“Best curry in the whole south of England (will let you know if they do one better in the north if I go there). The staff are so nice and honestly, you will not get a better tasting curry anywhere near!”

“Great food, lovely surroundings with friendly attentive service from Noah, Vaida and Mary. Thanks guys!”

“A fantastic restaurant. Went there for the 1st time last Friday with my Mrs, ordered the Lobster Platter. Was delicious and filling for the both of us. But what impressed me most was the customer service. Such a friendly atmosphere, they make everyone feel welcome and a real community. Will definitely be coming back...”

“I booked an afternoon tea for nine of us for two friends’ birthdays. I cannot express how helpful the staff were in arranging the booking and arranging for dietary requirements and on the day how friendly and helpful they all were. The afternoon tea was so lovely and the atmosphere at Marygreen Manor was warm and so Christmassy. Would definitely recommend coming here for any special occasion. Thank you for giving us a lovely afternoon x”

“Really good cosy and friendly atmosphere in the restaurant or public bar, which is situated on the left as you enter. I highly recommend their Sunday roast options, including the 3 meat offering. Overall, a little gem of a place just opposite Shenfield High School.”

“Our first visit was tonight here with my partner. Food was freshly made amazing flavours. You may need more plate to fill you up but absolutely worth it. I think you pay for a great experience. Service was absolutely friendly caring by the two lady who took care of us. Drinks were nice too. My partner loved the little wine jug. Atmosphere was nice warm cozy and friendly. I can highly recommend to anyone who just want to have a nice evening and don’t go there just to complain about every little thing!”

“Best Sunday roast! I came a couple weeks ago and I’m back again today on Boxing Day. The atmosphere is great, staff are welcoming. It’s cozy here.. honestly love it. I also want to mention that I a vegetarian and the roast at this pub was absolutely delicious! 10 out of 10!!”

“If you are looking for an indian restaurant look no further as Ginger Spice is clearly the best. Decorated beautifully with a large comfortable bar area to relax whilst having pre dinner drinks.The waiters are so friendly, helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The food was all lovely. The flavours of the spices with the beautiful presentation made every mouthful wonderful. It was a totally different experience for me as I normally choose a sauce based curry but I decided to opt for fish and king prawns and it was so fully of flavour and the fish remained delicate. My husband chose the salmon main and the spice added to a lovely salmon fillet. We were not rushed and had a great interaction with the waiters. They made sure all 10 of us were served together by using a restuarent dessert trolley to bring all of our dishes at once. The only disappointment was another unnecessarily noisy table of 10 next to us which made conversation difficult whilst they were at their table. But that unfortunately happens sometimes nowadays. The main restuarent was much quieter with curved booth setting to give more privacy which is ideal for smaller groups. I can recommend with confidence.”

“I personally think the best Indian in Brentwood never had bad food here”

“Just had a delivery and was really impressed. Food arrived after 20 mins of ordering and was really fresh and tasty. Great sized portions and good value. Recommend!”

“This is 1 of the best pizza’s I have had the pleasure of eating. All topping were fresh and the pizza was not oily/greasy like some of the high Street chains. Great friendly staff, polite and professional. Great selection on the menu from starters to main to deserts and even drinks. Looked online and had some very good deals on offer. From a first time customer to a regular customer, I feel Crust Shenfield has more to offer in quality and freshness. Value for money.”

“One of my favourite Indian restaurant venues and I am very hard to please as I cook and appreciate Indian cuisine in many of its varieties! Very good food, impeccably presented and served in great surroundings. Pleasant staff and nothing is rushed. Service is really first class. Highly recommended if you appreciate subtle yet distinctly flavoured and well presented Indian food....”
