Fine dining experiences 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.”

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

“So friendly and amazing food. Without us needing to ask they bought us dog food and water for our fur babies. The food was ready quickly and was nicely presented and so moreish! My second time here and will definitely be returning soon!”

“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.”

“Absolutely amazing food, and we was made to feel extremely welcome...I would also recommend the pate it is gorgeous.”

“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”

“Amazing food! Definitely worth the money would 100% recommend to any pasta lover”

“You cannot beat the atmosphere and the food here. From start to finish you will feel special. The food is exquisite and the drinks the same. The restaurant is so nice! Turn up early so you can enjoy the champagne bar!!”

“Thank you! Came here for hubbys birthday lunch - food portions were great, tasted great! Staff very friendly too. 100% recommend”

“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.”

“Ate here twice recently and really enjoyed the food both times! The Lemongrass special duck curry is delicious. The service is also very good.”

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

“Lovely pub restaurant. Cosy bar at the front with fires to make it extra cosy. We went to the rear dining room with views of the garden, and it was delightful the watching the birds, the squirrels and the fallow deer visiting the garden. Nice choice of traditional British favourites. I had beef and Guinness pudding which was tasty and also light, perfect. Very friendly and helpful staff.”

“Look, there are plenty of half decent Indian food outlets in and around Brentwood. Some are exceptional whilst others are dire, I’ve tried pretty much all of them. The Balti House is sublime, superb, outstanding and the food is great value for money and as tasty as any Indian meal you are ever likely to eat. Stunning food and a standalone outlet producing a high quality cuisine. I highly recommend this business.”

“Great little place. Lovely staff. Very good menu choice. Popular place.”

“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!”

“Amazing meal here on New Year’s Eve. Much nicer than the popular one on the high street. Highly recommended.”

“Food was amazing and the service was great. The place has been recently remodeled and looks beautiful and modern, it has an outdoors area too that looks good (only got a quick look). Highly recommended restaurant.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Friendly staff. Great service. A busy pub so it was buzzing with all age groups.”

“Got stranded at Shenfield yesterday due to storm Eunice…found my way to the Junction and ended up having a good old crack with the locals and another stranded traveller. Really friendly bunch, bar staff excellent, food tasty and the Guinness excellent too.”

“Had a fantastic brunch here Highly Recommended!! The staff were welcoming and happy to help despite a very busy and chaotic service, they made you feel nothing was too much trouble. Although ridiculously busy all the staff were more than happy to accommodate our endless drink requests. The food was to a high standard, I would be happy bring my boss, my mum, or my friends here. I sound like I'm gushing but I really enjoyed my brunch here. Prices were in line with what I would expect. I'd like to thank Melissa, Freya and Tara in particular. Check my photos for the menu. Give it a try it's worth it!”
