Wish I could give 0 star rating! I had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience at this chicken takeaway. After a long day out with my family at Adventure Island, which is an hour away from our home, we were all hungry and decided to stop by this halal place for some chicken and chips at around 10 PM, as our kids requested. I ordered the chicken tikka burger meal, and unfortunately, just a few hours later, at 2 AM, I started experiencing severe food poisoning symptoms, including diarrhea and vomiting. My husband, who didn’t like the food at all and kept saying so while we were eating, is also concerned about the quality of the food we were served. My biggest worry now is for my children, who thankfully are still asleep, and I can only hope they don’t suffer the same fate. I would never visit this place again, and I’m leaving this review purely in hopes that others don’t have to go through what I did. Please be cautious and make sure to check reviews before choosing where to eat. I truly wish we had gone somewhere else last night.

Good food, had classic chicken and chips. 6 piece's and can of Pepsi. Chicken was warm and tender and couldn't fault the seasoning, really enjoyed it. Very filling to, which is always a plus. Would recommend for a decent, fair priced takeout with polite staff.

Any place that starts by giving you a well seasoned roast potato is onto a winner! Onto the chicken... well seasoned also and with a nice crunchy exterior revealing juicy chicken inside. The bossmen are also very friendly and the food is reasonably priced. You cant got wrong here!

Visited for the first time, no going to lie, the chicken was bland, and very watery, the chips were hot but gross, they were really greasy and like the oil they were cooked in was old. I knew I should have gone elsewhere as soon as I entered and it was completely empty at dinner time.

Having visited Southend Best Chicken three times now, I can confidently say they've hooked me on their Mini Bucket combo. This satisfying package is sufficient for two people for a meal which includes 6 pieces of chicken, 3 generous portions of regular fries, and a large 1.5L drink, all at a reasonable price. Southend Best Chicken's Mini Bucket is a winner in my book. The chicken is fantastic, the fries are excellent, and the value is unbeatable. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. As a seasoned fried chicken enthusiast, I have to say, Southend Best Chicken easily beats KFC. The chicken is consistently more flavorful and juicy, and the fries are superior in both texture and taste. For the price, the Mini Bucket combo offers exceptional value. It's a complete and delicious meal that will leave you feeling satisfied.

Ordered a large donar, salad was not delivered. I called to ask where the salad was and they asked me if it’s okay if they could send the salad next time I order, what? I told them I needed the salad I can’t eat dry meat with dry bread. I waited but they never delivered the Salad. Funny thing is when I called them they said the driver just told them he forgot to deliver the salad. I did not need to call, they should have told the driver to redeliver. Never ordering again from here.

Alright hear me now, this place is a bit of a hit or miss sometimes the chicken is good and sometimes it’s bad. If your lucky to have everything freshly fried then you may be in for a treat because everything is best when it’s fresh but if they chicken or the chips were left in the hold holding area then it’s long. The chips can be very dry and barely fluffy and the wings quite dry and flaky. Their chicken burgers aren’t bad though and their prices are decent but could be better over all if your feeling blessed then take a chance and step inside. Cleanliness is normally not an issue.

I have been using this takeaway for a while now. For a while, the chicken was hit and miss, mostly coming very tasty and nice, but occasionally tasteless and awful. With the chips being permanently poor. We have an issue where every single time we order a kebab meal, they do not send the chips, and we repeatedly have to call back in order to receive them. When yesterday, I called up reporting that we were once again missing our chips, I was told that they would be sent out, I never received them. On another occasion, the one time I went to the chicken shop in person, I was met by a worker who was sitting on his phone playing games, rather than serving. This workplace does not know the definition of professionalism, I would avoid them at all costs as there are many other quality chicken shops in Southend-on-Sea.

Made an order that was accepted via Deliveroo, was supposed to arrive at 1AM - writing this at 02:18, unable to contact them, number is dead on their Deliveroo account and no response whatsoever, no update, no delivery. Do not order from here if you actually want what you’ve ordered delivered. Just as I finished typing this I had an update that my food should now be “delivered” this is false, rather than cancelling the order they just took the cash and (what I assume) closed up. Again, avoid like the plague.

I've ordered from here before and the food was average, but extremely convenient given the time that it's open, especially for someone who works night shifts. Finished work a couple of hours ago and decided to order from here again. Disappointed that they added an extra half hour to my order, I didn't want to be up too late. Order was scheduled for 4:10 am but it's now 4:25 am and I'm getting bored of waiting. I just want my food. P.S. £15 minimum sucks especially if it's just for one person

Food was good. Service was bad, at least a 30 minute wait time on the 20/09/2024 at 15:20, staff were not friendly, there was only one person cleaning the front and she was working really hard changing bins etc. a manager was talking to two women with buggies because they knew each other (they was talking loud enough about the personal lives). The whole wait time he was chatting and the cleaning was having to go around him the times she had to change the bin. Understandable when it’s busy BOH staff cannot help wait times due to high demand but the managers just chit chat for ages and don’t care what’s happening.

We were absolutely amaZed by these chips - and they were defo worth the short wait! They’re double fried, so expect to pause a little longer than your usual chippy - but wow, these are delicious.

Disappointing and to be honest this is a generous 2 based on decent staff keeping us informed. On food alone it would get a 0.5 to 1 Hotdog sausage was nice but the bun was so stale I was checking it for mould blooms! The burger was similar to that served in schools, cheap discount meat, no sauce a bare sprinkle of lettuce and onion. No pickle, No tomato (in their defence that's all as described in menu though) The chicken goujons were nice. Good potion size and crispy. The doh balls went down well with the kids. Queued 20 minutes to order and then advised another 30 mins wait for food, it arrived after 25 minutes, but still two teenagers were practically bouncing off the walls after 45 minutes wait for lunch lol. The bill for 4 drinks and 4 meals (chicken, 2 X hot dogs and burger all with chips and a portion of Doh balls) was very nearly £70 which is lot given the barely acceptable quality but then again you're paying for location and on the positive side, the staff that do give a damn, they kept everybody informed, were always busy and they were smiling! Something of a novelty these days.

We visited for my husband‘s birthday. We were a table of five and arrived at 7 pm. On arrival. We were the only diners in the restaurant. Three other tables were occupied by the time that we left 9 pm. This was a sat night. The menu has changed fewer choices or maybe fewer fine dining choices. The signature dish seemed to be the steak either steak on the stone or cooked so we opted for steak. The menu even contains a little joke. “Don’t ask the chef to cook well or medium well “ I opted for medium rare so when it arrived, I struggled to find the pink meat. I also ordered some garlic bread for our daughters, it arrived smothered in cheese but no mention that it would have cheese both daughters don’t eat cheese . The waiting staff require additional training. A female server. Didn’t even apologise when I complained about my steak instead told me it would be a further 15 minutes for a new piece , that wouldn’t work as everyone else had been served. They would’ve been nearly finished when mine arrived. Her solution was to scrap the order all together, but I came to a restaurant to eat. That wasn’t a good solution, the senior server, or maybe the manager later came over and offered to compensate for the steaks and provided a discount, which is really good of him, the chips could’ve been triple cooked for that crispy restaurant feel they suspiciously look like they may have come out of a packet also . After we complained about the steaks, we didn’t receive any additional service. We had to request a desert menu, being gluten-free. I asked what was gluten-free on the menu. I was told nothing it’s not completely unusual but usually you’re offered either ice cream or sorbet. We had the feeling that we were no longer wanted so forfeited the deserts for our table of five, asked for the bill and left, one of our diners was in a wheelchair, no point did anyone offer to open the door so we navigate of the double doors ourselves and left disappointed . Positively the cocktails and the beers were delicious. My recommendation would be hire some staff that smile or are attentive, become a bar and do what you are good at. This used to be one of my husband’s favourite restaurants in Southend. I’m not sure will visit again though. Bad times!
