Orleto Lounge in Basildon

Great space and fun looking quirky decor. Menu is varied and interesting. However, I chose the Bang Bang cauliflower, with noodles and vegetables. Didn’t have any “Bang” to it really, nothing like Wagamama, a bit sloppy, cauliflower had no zing and slightly overcooked. Come on chefs! Up your talents on this! Where’s the wow!?? Had flat bread garlic bread too….this was bland too, not sure if it had any garlic in it! Looked nice. Will give this restaurant another chance one day. Burgers looked great. Staff were lovely.

It was our first time eating here and we were very impressed! The food was delicious, we ordered via the app which was simple and quick. The whole place had a cosy, welcoming feel. The kids menu was fantastic and the meal was a decent size, my daughter loved the fish fingers. Me and my mum had tapas and all of it was lovely and reasonably priced. My only critique would be that you sat yourself and this led to lots of couples going on tables with four seats leaving less room for bigger groups. We will definitely be back!

Tanner, Sarah and StevO always offer a great service. This time impressed me much (a la Shania twain) I got my large drink very quickly. Very fast and resposnve and did not have to wait. SERVICE WITH A SMILE. VERY CHEERFUL.

We had a great evening last night for New Year. The service was super, the evening was very much suited to families and the little touches such as prize giving etc were great. We loved it, well done to the entire team

Order was wrong, food was cold and uninspiring, expensive for small portions, won't be returning. Really was expecting better as its got a pleasant interior.

Every time I visit Orleto compared to some of the other lounges I have been in myself and my family are always treated so warm and welcoming.

Staff friendly and atmosphere good. I had the Phillt cheese ciabatta. It was a disappointment, it came out cold. The filling was over 70% of the bottom part of the bun. Looked OK, but not as delicious as I thought it would look, as if they ran out of fillings. Cheese was missing The pulled beef tasted nice The top part of the ciabatta was just placed to the side, just toasted that's it. It was like it was an afterthought. The fries were really nice so was the garlic mayo. The manager recommended the Elderflower drink and said it wasnt as sweet as pink lemonade, but it was far too sweet. Hate to think how sweet the pink lemonade is then!!

The food was spot on service amazing, I have just txt my son we will be going in the week I will be back

Good food n drink....nice atmosphere....great service.....need I say more.....ok Hofmeister (imported) beer is incredible

Fantastic restaurant! Friendly, polite staff and good food! The whole place had a lovely vibe and we felt very comfortable. Will definitely be going again!

Family party for a 40th birthday. 35 seats including 4 children + baby. All served in a timely manner. Staff could not do enough for us. The ONLY PROBLEM is there are no toilets on the upper floor so if you are disabled then you fail getting up and down the multitude of stairs.

Lovely place very unique but my fishfinger sandwich was pathetic. Cheapest bread they could find. Tasted OK but no salad no decor just 3 fisfingers in two slices of stale bread.

Our group of six ordered no problem. Everything was correct but unfortunately all the glassware was dirty, perhaps they need some salt in the dishwasher! The crockery the food was on wasn't any better but also included chips and cracks exposing the porous porcelain a gem of a place for bacteria. I was the only member who ordered a dessert of chocolate sundae but it had hair in it. I was given an immediate refund at the bar. The flat white coffee was amazing I really loved that. Also air conditioning in this heat was lovely. I'm not sure if it's the food or the late night but a couple of us aren't feeling that great today. Note we who are unwell didn't drink any alcohol. Sorry Orletos Lounge it's a no from me and I was so excited with the interesting menus :-(

My first time trying this bar/cafe and it’s amazing. I came with my bf who has been here before and I had the vegan blt with fries and my bf had the Korean burger with fries and both our meals were delicious and we full up afterwards. Definitely recommend if you in the area Solid 5/5

A newish restaurant, very nicely decorated, with surprisingly wide menu and some draft beers. The mains: Nasi Goreng (£12.75) and Biryani Bowl (£10.95) were both very good; however, they were the smallest ‘mains’ that I’ve probably ever had –almost 13 quid and still hungry! I’ve had bigger starters in other establishments. (The Goreng contained the tinniest piece of chicken). Surely a more generous portion, even if just noodles and rice, would not cost the company very much. Even the portion of chips was small. The Fish Finger sandwich was lukewarm. The staff NEVER asked my party if we were happy with our food (I guess you did not want to know). If you serve poor value food (or lukewarm food) in Basildon, no matter how good it is, you will go bust! My party will never eat in Orleto again, yet it could have been great.

Pleasant Surprise. Great food, quite reasonable, easy ordering and quick. Loads of yummy food to choose, first visit, but not the last!

Been using the lounge from day one, all the staff are very friendly and efficient, and some know me by name,the atmosphere is very laid back and theres plenty of art to look at, this place is a breath of fresh air for Basildon, I...

3 Coffees cost over £10 and weren't even proper Coffee. It came from a packet. Disgusting and left a horrible after taste. Especially after paying that price.

Nice atmosphere for drinks and a catch up friends. Roomy, relaxed, background music too. Quirky design.

Scrimping on the spinach and mushrooms!!! I ordered lounge eggs with no hollandaise sauce, plus spinach, mushrooms and smoked salmon.  Although the food was delicious, I was rather disappointed in the fact there were 2 spinach leaves, one on each piece of muffin and 6...

Visited at lunchtime. The app to order food is very poor, slow and clunky. I gave up and took the more efficient option of ordering in person at the bar. Many others were doing likewise. I ordered a sandwich and a pot of tea for...

For a long time there hasn't been anywhere "nice" to go to eat/drink in the town centre that isnt a cafe, fast food or buffet. At last we've got somewhere! This place is lovely and a brilliant addition to the town. I've had some drinks...

We tried the tapas on a Tuesday which you get a glass of wine with 3 dishes for £11.50. Can’t fault the price because the range of food for tapas is great. Unfortunately, not all of it was hot but you could tell they were...

Orleton Lounge is a lovely place to chill out with your friends. Great ambiance, friendly staff and nice grub! Had been here a few times but hadn't realised that a newer menu had removed the bread from the tapas selection. So, ordered it anyway and,...

Went for first time for coffee and lunch. Coffee very weak no real taste, service very slow 45 minutes before our food arrived. Food okay, nothing special. They have to remember there is a lot of competition in Basildon. Staff were dressed like they had...

Found this lovely restaurant. Great selection of food, reasonably priced, great location being amongst the shops and short walk from Gloucester Park. Great service and friendly staff. Even my dog was made to feel special with bowl of water and plate of dog biscuits too....

Best breakfast in Basildon. Not the cheapest but the food was all top quality, hot and delicious. we will be going back very soon.

Very nice food and when the waiters were struggling the chef would help them by bringing the food out which was very kind, I think the chef name was Zahrah she was polite and checked on us to make sure the food was nice. Loved...

They had the worst egg benedict in basildon which says a lot when we have so many cheap places doing them. The hollandaise sauce looked like it was made in house, would of rather had it from a jar as it was so poorly made...

Lovely new restaurant in the heart of Basildon. Food was excellent - we had the Halloumi Burger and Chicken, Bacon and Avocado salad - would recommend. Staff were super polite and attentive. You have to order via an App or go to the Bar, but...

Great food and lovely cocktails. At last we have somewhere great within walking distance! Service was very friendly and they certainly haven’t gone cheap with the decor. Can’t wait to go back again. Highly recommend

Couldn't fault this place! The staff were amazing, really attentive and polite. The cockail menu is great, the Cherry Bakewell is to die for. The food was great and we got really good portions. So glad this has come to Basildon!

We went to the opening of Orleto. Brilliant. Service - food and decor were amazing. A restaurant that suits people popping in with kids/dogs during the day moving through to a lovely evening venue.
