Menad in Basildon

Another great evening at Menad. Superb food and great service. A brilliant independent restaurant and highly recommended. We were very well looked after. This is a true gem in Billericay. Thank you.

Just had lunch and it was superb. Food & service 1st class and great value for money. 25 % off between 12 and four. Well worth a visit

Small restaurant, would advise to book at weekends.

Fantastic food and Great service. The Lunch time offer of 25% off the bill for food and drinks is not to be missed.👌

Lovely food, lovely staff and reasonably priced!

Beautiful food & plenty of it. House wine good quality. Lunch 25% reduction. Most enjoyable. Will definitely return.

The food is great but could be a little cheaper.

Called in for lunch, although the 2 course offer on the website is no longer available (should be taken down, really) The choices are from the main menu with a 25% discount at lunchtime. The food was very tasty and of the usual Turkish offering with some specials thrown in. Good atmosphere, great service and reasonable prices.

5 star for a wonderful experience. The food was beyond expectations, The staff were friendly and the ambience was calm and enjoyable. Workmates get together. 7 of us ordered different dishes like garlic prawns, halloumi, calamari and tarama as starters. The main course was chicken shish, chicken kulbasti, lamb kulbasti, sarma lamb beyti, sea bream. Dessert chocolate flake ice cream. Mouth watering experience. Highly recommended. Will visit again. Thanks

Surprised by the high rating. Maybe we were unlucky on the day. The falafel were the most bland we've ever tasted. The BBQ'd meats were a little undercooked and again lacked character. The kofta was red in the middle and tasted raw. Not my spice going on. This was disappointing. Chilli sauce was fresh with a lovely kick. The service was excellent.

Excellent food and Excellent service from Jimmy and his Team, the best Turkish in Billericay

One of the best Turkish restaurants I have ever been to, outside Turkey!

We were very disappointed with our visit to this restaurant totally due to the poor quality of our meals. We ordered a meat moussaka and a vegetable moussaka and a lamb Soto. They all looked like they had come off a conveyor belt with the same display of a few lettuce leaves and a portion of rice and then a slab of moussaka. The food was luke warm and very bland in taste. The tables in the restaurant were very tightly packed and consequently this made the place very noisy. The four of us left most of our meals untouched and the reaction from the manager was very indifferent however our waitress was most efficient and very pleasant. We won’t be returning but I don’t think the establishment will care!

Huge portions… not spicy and good service. It was a very noisy night😑

A good, reasonably priced restaurant and spoilt for choice with the menu. The food was delicious and portions generous. Lovely staff too. Definitely somewhere I'll be going again to work my way through the menu!

OMG what a lovely restaurant. Food is fantastic, staff are friendly and extremely helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Very good prices, possibly the best restaurant in Billericay, I can’t recommend highly enough!

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Another great evening at Menad. Currently, the best restaurant in Billericay.

By far the best Turkish around. The food is incredible. Service and value for money excellent too. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Very busy so had to wait but no problem

Great food and service, good value for money.

Just had a takeaway wow by far the best Turkish we have had in a long while. On time hot and very tasty. If you want a decent meal please give them a try.

The restaurant was full on Saturday night so definitely worth booking in advance. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Chicken shish was beautifully tender and the lamb chops were very tasty.

Really nice drinks (we tried mojito with strawberries), friendly and attentive staff. Place was not crowded when we went (on a Sunday at around 8pm). Parking not too close to the restaurant so if it rains can be a bit annoying. Food tasty and well presented. A bit pricy. Overall a highly suggested Turkish restaurant.

The staff are very welcoming and you can tell they take pride in their restaurant. My husband and I shared a starter of humus and dip, the bread was delicious. We also shared a meat moussaka and a sheesh, both were excellent. There are so many tasty things on the menu I look forward to returning. We took our 10 month old baby and they provided a high chair. They also didn't mind that we were feeding him a bit of our meal plus some baby puree. We did go when the restaurant opened so we wouldn't annoy too many diners!

Enjoyed my meal, good service too 😋

Lovely food, nice and friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

The food was tasty and service was great, the only reason for the 4 stars is as they are so popular you are asked to vacant your table once have finished. If I had gone knowing this I would have rated differently. 😊

Fantastic food, fantastic friendly service. I highly recommend. I’ve eaten in a few times and had takeaways and have never been disappointed. The best Turkish around

Some dishes were good such as starters and lamb beating whilst the lamb chops were too tough as they were too chunky. Staff pleasant but we felt under pressure to leave as they were very busy and needed the table. Though my friends have been converted, they now love their Turkish delight 😊

Had dinner at Menad on a whim. Service was great although not busy. Surprisingly the bottle of Merlot was really good. Calamari to share, also very well cooked, not tough. Basket of bread was gorgeous as was the 2 dips of chilli sauce and a garlicky yoghurt one. OH had Kleftico & separate bowl of rice in a spicy sauce which he said was very nice. I had 4 pieces of lamb fillet with a sauce and rice & salad. Had some baklava with ice cream for dessert which was beautiful. Some proper Turkish delight was brought up with the bill, which you can’t beat. A lovely meal, plenty on the plate and very good friendly service & would recommend & return.

Delicious food and great service!

Delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Lots of choice and definitely recommended place to eat. Update 2022: Still a wonderful place to dine!

A really lovely place to go with excellent food and really great friendly staff. Would recommend very highly 👍👍

Excellent will definitely go again

Best Turkish food, I've ever had! Delicious!

Excellent food and service, all at a reasonable cost. Staff, particularly good and attentive, considerate even, with great sense of humour. Must return - again!

Took my family here tonight very local to me I was very impressed. The food was perfect none of us had a complaint and the staff were brilliant very friendly and great help to us I will 100% be going back.

Menad is, by a country mile, the best place to eat in Billericay. The food is absolutely fantastic, cooked fresh to absolute perfection and the staff are fabulous. 5 stars aren't enough - I wish I could give them 10!

Myself, friends and family absolutely love this place! It’s by far the best Turkish restaurant around. The staff are wonderful nothing is ever too much! The food is outstanding I try something different every time I visit and I’ve never been disappointed. The whole atmosphere of the restaurant is wonderful. Well done everyone 👏

The team were very accommodating and nothing was too much food was delicious have nothing bad to say polite waiter would definitely recommend

Visited for the first time today. We were very impressed. The staff were attentive yet left you alone to dine which is fab. The food tasted fresh and of high quality. The portion sizes were great and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We will be back soon!

Lively place for a night out. Good food with a good atmosphere.

Fantastic quality and selection of food, at a very reasonable price, helpful friendly staff, good atmosphere too. Thank you.

Super restaurant food and service

Lovely restaurant food was amazing and the staff and service was first rate.

We were very well looked after by our waiter and the front of house team who went above and beyond. They were very helpful and thoughtful. We had some delicious food, and the portions were very generous!

All staff really friendly and super efficient. Food just as good as it gets and reasonably priced too. Great decor, sometimes just a little noisy, but brilliant atmosphere.

Went here for a meal recently. Food was very nice and waiter was friendly

Great service all staff very friendly. We ordered the meal for 2 and the starter platter delicious. I will definitely be returning.

Visited for my son’s 14th birthday..,we booked 2 tables, 1 for my son and his friends, and one for the older folk! Staff were fantastic, really looked after us all. Food was all great, good quality and portions were generous! Will definitely be returning again very soon. Thanks Menad!

Excellent, will definitely go back. Great food and service

We love this place, staff are amazing so friendly and attentive. Food is amazing, cocktails great. Soo much better than other restaurants in the area. Highly recommend.

I've lived in London for 3 years. This is still my favourite restaurant. Unbelievable quality both in terms of food and friendliness of the staff. if I could give 6 stars I would

Expensive . Bland food. Service was good

If you want to pose, go to Pasha, if you want great authentic Turkish food, at an efficient, warm and welcoming restaurant at reasonable prices, then look no further than Menad... Ferdi and his team have got it just right from the warm welcome, the excellent cocktails and food to the exemplary service. We've been there a number of times and it never fails to impress...you can see the Chefs working hard over the grills to ensure your meal is cooked to perfection and in good time. Ferdi, keeps an eye on everything to ensure everthing is done to make your dinning experience a memorable one. Well done to all..no doubt we will be back... Tessekular ederin, gule gule.....

Super quick and friendly service even when the restaurant is fully booked. Staff are very attentive even when they're serving a full house. Food was brilliant. Everything was tender and juicy. Highly recommended the rice

A really lovely meal would recommend

Very nice and succulent food. Good atmosphere too.

Very nice food and ppl Definitely come back here

Was extremely polite and the food was absolutely delicious

Superb quality and service would recommend to anyone

Bit pricey but good food and never a long wait for it to arrive.

Always good food and courteous staff.

A perfect night for our friends’s birthday. Great food, great staff and great service as always - Haloumi and Lamb Shish fab 😀

Lovely food excellent service reasonably priced definitely recommend

Lovely restaurant, food was amazing and the staff were incredible with the children 😊

This was the first time we've been to the menad, and I would highly recommend this restaurant, the food was so tasty, the best chicken I've ever tasted! It was the first time they had a big group meal, think there was nearly 20 people for a surprise birthday / wedding proposal! She said yes! B but the staff were fantastic and very polite and made the whole afternoon a great event for all that attended. We will go back when we are in Billericay in the future! Thank you menad

Lovely restaurant. Very welcoming and kind staff. The manager was fantastic. Would recommend the chicken shish. Thank you for a lovely Christmas meal.

The food here is great, we’ve been coming as a family for years and it was my 12 year old son’s favourite restaurant and his go-to for a birthday treat. However for some reason they have stopped doing kids portions of Turkish food, the only options for children are burgers, nuggets etc. Shame really because they’ve just lost a whole family’s regular business as we won’t go there anymore because we can get the kids burgers from anywhere.

Went in here last minute. Servers were polite and attentive. Explained different dishes to us etc. Food arrived promptly and was delicious.

Great food great staff very reasonable price

Our first visit to this lovely restaurant, early evening Wednesday. We did not have a booking and they at the time had plenty of availability, let us pick our table. Staff really friendly and helpful. Food was very good served in good time and hot. We had a bottle of the house red that was really nice. We shall return. Had a nice feel about the place.

Thank you Ferdi,Jimmie and Ella for your hospitality..the food was amazing and i would definitely recommend the restaurant..

Good food and very staff. Wide selection of starters and mains inc house specialities. Friendly and helpful staff, will definitely go there again..Average cost of main around £15 which inc sides.

Absolutely hands down the best Turkish in Billericay! Good sized meals, mouth-watering food and a really friendly service! Our favourite is the mixed chicken and lamb kebab, the rice is particularly flavourful and the salad dressing is soooo delicious! Love the variety of foods on offer, we love the hot prawns, halloumi, olives, and the little extras like dips and warm bread to start and a sweet with the bill. We usually get takeaway but saw the lunch deal which was such good value, we will definitely be returning soon!

Great place. The food and staff are always excellent. We always go for the midweek lunch, where with the 25%discount on everything makes it a really good place to try a few different dishes at the same time . Recommend a visit.

Been there a few times always had great service and food highly recommended very nice restaurant 👌

Today my partner and I ate at Menad for the first time. The food was AMAZING. Probably the best Turkish meal outside of Turkey we have ever had. The quality of the food and the service of the staff was brilliant. Only thing I would say, if I was to have a small, tiny criticism, would be the music was too loud and not really appropriate for a dining setting. We will be back, thank you 🙏

Good food friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Our second visit here.The staff can't do enough for you, service is brilliant and the food is excellent.

Excellent food, all ready for pick up on time. Would definitely order again

I would give more stars if I could! The food is really good, all the staff are all so nice and every time I go the experience is consistently amazing

Best food we've ever had in our lives. We were so happy to get some extra Baklava to take home. Service was extra nice! Will be back soon. Thanks Jack 8 and Francesca 6.

First visit but not our last, well priced, very good staff although please cover your nose and mouth or your defeating the object of wearing them when talking to customers😷, I understand it was warm inside. Food was fantastic, mixed kebabs, mixed fish and lamb mix incl ribs went down with reasonably priced and drinkable Rioja, dessert of baclava and ice cream was sweet and lovely. £120for 4people service at your discretion 👍 Big thanks to all kitchen staff 🥵 🥵

First visit, but not our last, we'll priced. Very good staff, but some not quite covering face with mask(nose) food was excellent!

To summarize: LATE, INCOMPLETE ORDER, COLD! Have previously eaten in the Restaurant and the experience was not bad the food was average but our take away on Friday 9th July was dreadful. Placed the order 3 hours n advance, half hour passed supposed delivery time...

Fantastic Mediterranean hosts and atmosphere

Beautiful food and great service. First time wanted something different for partners birthday. Will definitely come back again

A great night out with friends. The food was excellent as always; a great choice too. Staff were very friendly and provided a great service.

Food lovely and staff very helpful and friendly

Impromptu late lunch excellent service and fantastic food We were seated in minutes and given menus, then asked what we'd like to drink. Food and drink were lovely Regards Mick

I've been here a couple of times and we've all been happy with the food and service. Lovely food and friendly staff!

Menad special since we started using Menad has lost 2 items and now been raised in price, have zero issues with the price being upped £6 as that’s your prerogative but to take the chicken Beyti first & then the lamb ribs off is unacceptable...

Just perfect, can't say nothing more becouse it's not needed !!! Perfect food, great climate and people around so happy what's meaning everything!!!!!

Awesome. Great food and great service

Fantastic takeaway! Delicious food as good as eating in the restaurant. Highly recommend and even got a rice pudding complementary as dessert which was very nice! Best Turkish takeaway!

Just had a very good takeaway from Menad. Food was well cooked and tasty (chicken shish and falafel main). We also ordered sigara boregi which was accidentally missing when I got home and opened the bag. The response was excellent, we had a portion delivered...

One of the BEST Turkish meals I’ve had and I have visited Turkey on a number of holidays. The staff are brilliant. Their set lunch menu is exceptional value for money. Had a take away this time due to COVID. The food was excellent and...

The best Turkish. Staff are so friendly and welcoming, the food is sensational. All round great experience visiting menad every time.

If you want your food to be delivered don’t order from Menad. Writing this review in real time. Order at 6.28pm, called 5 times to ask where my order was and was told it’s on its way. It’s now 8.25pm and they now tell me...
