Went here for breakfast after a recommendation from my brother-in-law. Was tempted by some of the Turkish options, but in the end I went for the full English. Was absolutely fantastic, definitely the best breakfast I’ve had in Southend. Service was fast and really friendly too - I’ll certainly be going back!

Visited Yemek for the first time today on recommendation. Really good experience. Food, service, sea view was excellent. Had the Turkish breakfast which was delicious. Can also recommend the halloumi salad and the halloumi wrap. Good portion size for the money. Would definitely be returning again soon.

It is a great spot near the beach. The food is amazing and well presented and isn't too expensive. It is also dog friendly and the staff are very nice!

We have been here several times for lunch & Dinner or just for a milkshake The food is amazing, the sea bass I had has been one of the best I’ve ever tasted! The chicken shish just so tender & tasty I can highly recommend the milkshakes so thick & creamy, my only advice don’t have one before a meal they are very filling! The staff are very attentive and all work very hard to make sure that you need anything or top up of drinks especially as at times they are understaffed. if there is one criticism it would be sometimes the choice of food isn’t always available but I understand this is not the fault of the staff as they just cook or serve the food! But I would highly recommend yemek!

The food at this place is amazing! But unfortunately the two times that I have been the service has been appalling, the two waitresses that I have seen (first time both were working, second time just one of them) are really bad at customer service. They don’t really say much and just stand at the back of the restaurant talking to the chef or each other, they ignore customers when they’re trying to get their attention, they don’t smile or check on you to see if your meal is okay or if you need more drinks etc.. This does ruin the experience. The food is so good but the staff make you feel very unwanted and unwelcome.

Stopped here for lunch on a busy Sunday lunch. Greeted politely, ordered drinks which arrived promptly. I ordered chicken Shish with rice & salad, my daughter ordered chicken & halloumi salad. Both dishes were huge &!so delicious, best chicken shish I have had. Will definitely return when in the area. Thank you

arrived for a pre-booked table on Monday, only to discover the doors locked, tables removed and 2 people in the back emptying the kitchens, called the same number I booked on to see if they were perhaps renovating and we should have been upstairs and found the phone wasn't connected. rather disappointing as the place had been recommended so we had booked as part of our trip to the area.

With Southend having limited options for halal dining, this is a good choice. The experience the first time I visited was a nice. The food is decent, and the staff on shift were very friendly and welcoming, leaving me wanting to come back. However, my second visit was less impressive. I went with a group of 15 to celebrate my brother's birthday, and the server seemed visibly irritated, both in his facial expressions and tone of voice. Despite this, I wouldn't discourage others from visiting, as the server might have just had a bad day. Overall, I think it's worth trying for a casual meal.

What a jewel on the high street have walked past many times. Couldn't get in first choice so decided to give it a try. Have to say probably the best food and experience in a long time will definitely be going back. Well worth 5 stars

Just reading these reviews. I did not write a review at the time as I hoped it was an isolated incidence, and nobody enjoys leaving a negative review in this climate. I see nobody has mentioned the smell inside the restaurant. As I walked in I wrinkled my nose at a smell that wafted over, I assumed it was a man placed near the front door. I was in a party of 4 adults/couples. We ordered drinks and the meze arrived ! it was a bowl of green dip and tiny triangles of cold hard pitta bread. Nobody said a word as this was a fun night. We ordered main course, I ordered the prawns !! in a sauce which read very appetising. Everybody was served and as an adult I said please start. People did slightly. Then came over again the terrible stench, I looked at the other female and we both mouthed " wind"....the males said no, its the drains. It was awful. I would say I waited a further 15 minutes for the prawn dish, the sauce was a dead ringer for a jar of Lloyd Grossman...by then we all started to speak about the food etc. The other lady got up to go to the toilet, was in there an age. I jumped up and went to the toilet as walking home. I can only say the contents of my stomach left my body, although not quite as as soon as I went to wash my hands, where I had flushed the toilet bowl was rising. I can laugh about it now. Then I had to sit again and my god I was in a state. Flushed again, and again it rose up. I did not say a word to friends until Christmas eve. As my husband and I started our walk I confided my story with " I need to go again" he said you cannot. I said I need to and I scoured alleys , bushes,,,,it was torture, He said, I will rush on, give me your bag, and off he shot. He flung he front door open and I made it. Hopefully the drains are fixed and the prawns are defrosted properly now. It seems so with all the great reviews. I do remember all the staff were attentive, and asked a few times how my meal was. And being typically British I said " fine". The truth as eating the food we all found it underwhelming.

I've visited this restaurant a few times with my sister for lunch, going for the 12.99 menu of starter and main. The service is excellent as is the food. Would recommend you give it a try.
