Bogaz Turkish Restaurant in Rochford

I’m highly allergic to food “Not on the list!” So I’m told. Very surprised to find that Bogaz in Rayleigh is SILVER SERVICE. Absolutely second to none. They listen to their customers 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 To all that know me, I am in my element right now 💕🎁👏🏿👏🏿🎶 It’s my husband’s birthday today so we thought we’d give it a try. So glad we did 🎁💕❤️ Food is delicious xx absolutely living my best life 🎶🎶

Had a lovely meal with family, food was excellent and so was the service. The restaurant gets busy so book early.

Great food, service, decor. Highly recommended. Staff were wonderful. Attentive without being disruptive. Definately go again.

New💙 to the area, so decided to come here for a birthday meal on Friday night. We are both visually impaired and were so impressed by the staff in this restaurant. We didn’t even have to ask for help, they just did it naturally. A very rare thing to happen in a London restaurant, where we were from before. Absolutely delighted with the help and friendliness from all the waiters. Delicious food and great atmosphere as well. Will definitely be coming back 😁

We made an order for collection through their website which was really easy to use and informative. The food was ready right on time and upon pick up we were greeted by friendly and professional staff. The food was authentic, fresh and so so delicious. The portions are such good sizes that we have some saved for lunch tomorrow! I cannot say enough good things about Bogaz Kitchen

Good food, very loud on a Saturday night.

Nice place to eat Turkish food, thank you

Food was amazing not a cheap meal though.

Lovely meal for our anniversary. Recommend the kleftiko!

Amazing food.. Service is always excellent ❤️❤️❤️

Bogaz is a lovely restaurant, you can immediately feel a welcoming atmosphere as you walk in. the food is amazing. great customer service aswell.

Ow what a night, great food, great hosts, great atmosphere. There was 21 of us for my sister in laws hen night and what a night. Great value. Thanks team..

Fantastic birthday meal. Love coming to Bogaz. Food and service always second to none.

Excellent as always - lovely food great service

Food was good, much smaller portions of meat and rice and starter of calamari. Food seemed to be rushed also. Brought starters out in 10, then nearly finishing starters, mains came. Waiter wasn't great, as seemed to be hovering like he didn't really know what he was doing or being directed todo. Was in and out in 1 hour 15 minutes. It was on the expensive side also. Not how I remmbered it unfortunately 😕

Lovely food first class service would recommend ☺️

We have been to this restaurant on sunday.My family and tim family which is the my friend.They look after us very well.Specialy Hüsseyin he was a maneger he organized everything for.Thank u Hüseyin. We will come back as promised.

Be warned! Who does vouchers that only last six months! I saved some vouchers we had been given for Bogaz for our anniversary meal. We were a few weeks over I didn’t check their validity as most vouchers are at least a year! Anyway the manager declined to accept them so they’ve now our meal has been paid twice! #greedy 😡

Tan & Hassan, thank you for your hospitality and lovely food. See you again soon 👍🏼

Food is great. Service is awful.

Food, service and atmosphere is great only negative is food and drink a little overpriced.

Went there for date night, service was amazing 10/10. Food was amazing and cocktails were so nice. Our waiter was very attentive and make us feel very welcome. Would defo return over and over. I defo recommend it !

Normally great food but tonight the dish (chicken with mushrooms in a creamy garlic sauce) wasn’t good. There was hardly any creamy sauce and it was so salty. Not sure if MSGs in it but I was awake 3-4 times in the night gasping for a drink. It’s a shame as previously the food has been lovely.

Our quick bite was over £100 for two ! Food was a little sloppy and presentation not great, but the atmosphere was pleasantly busy and service we could not fault.

Reasonably priced meals in clean spacious open planned modern restaurant

Good food on the pricey end for where it is

I have coeliac and can’t eat gluten or dairy. I called the restaurant before and they assured me that they could cater for me unfortunately it turns out that this was not the case. I had the lamb bayti with rice I’ve been sick not long after leaving. I appreciate it’s tough to cook for people with allergies but I expect a better service. I just want to add that the service was not great me and my partner felt rushed to make decisions and we were the only ones in the restaurant

Went there at 6pm for a birthday dinner, it was excellent, everything was perfect 👌

Great food and efficient staff.

Had an awful experience with the staff at this restaurant and will never be ordering from them again! I ordered food for some friends and I on a Friday night. The food hadn't arrived when they said it would on their own app. I called the restaurant and a man answered who appeared to have no idea what was going on but said we would have the food soon. The food that was delivered was for the wrong address so I had to ran out and give it back to the driver. The delivery driver told me the restaurant had new management who were very disorganised. The lovely delivery driver called the restaurant for me trying to resolve the issue. The management at the restaurant didn't have anyone that spoke English so another delivery driver had to take the call. It was very chaotic. It took another hour and a half for our food to come. I was told I would get a call from the manager the next day to be given a refund but they never called me. Extremely poor service!

Lovely, freshly cooked food with friendly service. We had an excellent meal in the restaurant last week, and a great, high quality takeaway meal tonight. Thank you

Bogaz used to be so good but a recent visit with friends wasn't a great experience. Very rude abrupt guy who i think is the owner as other people have said that he is. Very rushed wont be going back. We recently went to Riva opposite the Pink Toothbrush . There was 17 of us and was treated fantastic really good experience and amazing food.

I went there today. Small portions. Very expensive and I've been on the toilet for 6 hours

It was amazing and really enjoyed it.Tan’s service was excellent.

Great food with very good atmosphere

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.

Nice food Big portions Good service

Tank was an amazing waiter, and looked after us, fantastic food abd atmosphere

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.

What a fantastic night for a birthday. Great atmosphere!!

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.

Been to bogaz a few times and every time has been amazing. Beautiful service and beautiful food. Was served by Tan and he made it lovely for my friends birthday. 10/10

We have been a few times now. We had a lovely meal on a Monday, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Service was second to none and the food is always so tasty, big portions and interesting too. We will be back more that’s for sure

Amazing celebrations!!! Loved how everyone comes together to sing a happy birthday when they find out it is someone's birthday in the party x

The food and service was excellent nothing was to much trouble. Definitely be back and recommend..

Tan was great! Really nice meal, great food and atmosphere, would definitely recommend. Tams :)

Very nice good food nice staff.

We had a delicious meal and the staff were all fantastic. Thank you.

Me and my partner visited for lunch today, waiter took away our starters whilst we were still eating them without asking if we had finished. Food was good but shame about the service as ruined the experience for us.

Brilliant Restuarant. Clean, comfortable almost cozy with friendly staff and excellent food well prepared and presented.

Fantastic as ever. Carlos as always was the star of the show. Food amazing.

Fabulous restaurant. Clean, comfortable and cozy atmosphere with friendly staff serving excellent food

Had a very nice meal there, would recommend the Ottoman kebap.. delicious food and great service.

Food was great, place was s good busy for a Tuesday evening which is niece to see, could do slightly bigger portions but apart from that had a wonderful time didn't get the dessert I wanted as was out of stock

Came here for my daughters birthday. Staff were lovely and the food is always great.

Great Turkish, serving well prepared, tasty food in a nice environment.

This time it was takeaway (I didn’t know they delivered). Arrived warm and was very tasty. I initially thought it was pricey, but when the lamb ribs and kebab arrived, it came with loads of side bits (salad, rice and bread). I will definitely order again, yummy and good value.

The staff was very helpful from the beginning till the end of my visit as I have Mobility problems. Quick service and lovely food

I have visited a few times now, a couple of times with friends and a couple of date nights with the Mrs. A fantastic atmosphere, waiters & waitresses very attentive and the food is amazing, no tiny portions!

The food is lovely but the service is appalling. The staff stand over you and want you to leave the minute you finish the food regardless of the fact that there are no people queuing for the tables. I complained and they said it would improve next time. The service was worse. I absolutely love their food at Bogaz but definitely would never go there again because of the poor service.

Great staff and luvvly food, went for my daughter's birthday.

Have eaten here a number of times. Tonight we were sat on the side of the door as you walk in. Not too much to say about the food as it was the same as other occasions - as in it was nice. But unfortunately the service was poor. The gentleman (perhaps a manager here) came across as quite aloof and almost above serving his customers. Almost rude. And service was slow where we were. Just basically a poor experience which spoilt our meal. We will try the other Turkish restaurants for a while.

Nice staff Food is very average and much less appetising than previously.For £16 for 2 courses I honestly wxpected a lot more. The moussaka portion was small. Used to enjoy the food a lot more so disappointed to write this review

Great food, lovely staff, we drive for 45mins to get there, and it's always worth it!.

Lovely evening for my friends birthday - lovely friendly staff, the food was amazing - thankyou

This review is for their take-away. Order arrived with one person's meal missing. Phoned them and young girl answered who said she was new. I heard her relay the message to manager in the background who told her to tell me, it would be a 45 minute wait 'as they were busy'. Erm i haven't even received my full order and I have to wait behind other customers? also no apology. I said I wasn't prepared to wait that long and then I asked to speak to him myself. After a few minutes I heard his voice coming closer to the phone and then he promptly hung up on me. So rude and lovely way to treat your customers! As he refused to speak to me. I then had the inconvenience of driving to the shop the following day to get my £10 refund. On arrival at the shop and starting to explain the issue I was rudely interrupted when the guy says 'what is it you want?'. I did get my money back but they honestly could not have cared less. I was a regular customer previously and will now give my money to another restaurant who actually value their customers in future. I will never use their take-away or visit their over priced restaurant again.

Very tasty food for all the courses, and reasonably priced, would recommend.

Amazing food,friendly staff and extremely kid friendly....even with our boisterous 4year old ,the staff are so attentive and all so lovely , we were so stuffed gutted we didn't have room to try desert!

Poor service as soon as we walked in Should have turned around then Starter was ok Otter man kebab was a bowl off greasy fat Never again

Been here many times. Food, service & atmosphere is always amazing. Gets very busy at the weekend so book before to guarantee a table.

4ty visit here... top marks again.....

Our very first visit to Bogaz, and enjoyed it very much, great food and service, will certainly be back.

Great food,polite and friendly staff,well worth a visit, can be noisy at certain times.

I came here today with 3 friends for catch up!! We was greeted at the door by name of our booking!! I really liked thought it was personal touch!! We had 2-3 waiters, all of them were very polite!! The food was very nice and full of flavour! Biscoff cheesecake was amazing Definitely visit again!

1st visit. Local shopping meant local lunch venue and my daughter fancied "picky bits". We had not booked but were greeted warmly and given a window seat. The decor is modern, chic, clean & inviting and the service is fantastic. We ordered a sharing plate for 2 plus some taramasalata and drinks. The shiraz was very enjoyable. Our food was cooked nicely and the restaurant was filling up as we were leaving. This seems like its a busy venue. Enjoyable experience all round.

I've always really liked this restaurant, the atmosphere is comfortable and friendly, the staff are lovely and the food is very good. Before we started, lots of sharing food was bought to the table (bread, dips, salad & olives) the bread was lovely and I could have eaten a huge bowl of the gorgeous salad - really crispy, fresh and full of flavour. I had an avocado & Feta salad starter and it was lovely. Went for the mixed fish shish for main, the fish was overcooked which made it a bit dry which was a shame but the dish was tasty and there was plenty of vegetables. The portions are very generous and with the appetisers being bought to the table, I didn't really need the starter. We had a really lovely evening here and the cocktails were very tasty too. Always happy to re-visit this friendly restaurant (just take the fish out the pan a couple of minutes sooner please!).

We hadn’t been to a Turkish restaurant for some time and so didn’t know what to expect. We got a very warm welcome and the customer service was excellent throughout the meal. The quality and variety of food was wonderful.

Celebrated my daughters 30th here,,lovely food,,friendly staff,,,,highly recommend

The food was good, but orders were not taken correctly for instance Adana missing from the mixed kebab, waiter says he would bring one, subsequently the guest was charged a further £9 pounds difference but comparing what they thought he ordered was £3 difference i find them a rip off. Others ordered orange and lemonade and were charged £7. Too expensive and didn’t seam to know what they were doing.

Excellent food and excellent service

The Best in Town!! Complimenti!!!

Great restaurant! Can not recommend enough.

Excellent food and service. Nice atmosphere Will be going again soon

Great food, great service, fantastic atmosphere. A brilliant place to go for a celebration.
