The best restaurants in Moulsham and Central Chelmsford East of England

It was a little noisy in there due to music playing on the loud side. People then have to raise their voices to be heard. It was difficult to hear my partner or the waitress. We have softer voices. I had wanted to try vegetarian but unfortunately the waitress didn’t catch the order. What came wasn’t, but I didn’t say anything, as I’m not a vegetarian and the food was fine. Nicely seasoned. But not a meal I’d usually order. Softer Background music would improve the situation. It was our first time. We will try again sometime and bring friends. There are plenty of different eating areas in the city. We tried this one as the reviews were good. It deserves a second visit.

Kaani Kaana was a breathe of fresh air, for once an Indian takeaway that really stood out for amazing Indian food, better than we'd had anywhere else in the country and could really compete with some of the best in London. Authentic and fresh sauces, great quality meat, light and fluffy rice, soft puffy naan bread and the Lamb shank especially was to die for. Sadly the quality has gone completely downhill in the last few months and having given it three further attempts we won't be ordering her anymore. The last lamb shank went in the bin it was so hot, the lamb in the Jalfrezi was tough as old boots with the curry being just mediocre, the naan bread came out like wood and the rice bearable. The service is still great and the ambience of the shop lovely but the food has moved too far away from what it was. Always the casualty of expansion.

Lovely restaurant with lovely authentic, fresh food Good choice & all well presented Great friendly staff who are helpful too Thank you for again fabulous meal

This cafe was so lovely! From the beautiful decor to the fab service, me and my mum were so impressed! We were both served quickly- we had toasties and a hot drink each, which tasted delicious, and the plates that the food was served on had a lovely flowery design. Also, the toilets were clean and nicely decorated.

Placed an order for delivery online for over £70 having eaten in the restaurant previously. Every item apart from one was wrong. Was meant to be a special birthday meal so really upsetting. Contacted the restaurant but no reply. So disappointing.

A great space for creativity, relaxing and grabbing a coffee. They also run various events throughout the year, and the location is almost directly outside the train station and is easily accessible from the centre of town also.

A venue with a wide selection of desserts and aromatic coffee – a place you’ll want to return to time and time again.

Agree with previous reviewer that that there are noticeable cutbacks. Paid over £24 for a chicken pad Thai, beef Penang and crackers to take away. My husband and I literally counted the meat out between us there was so little. Delicious food but expensive for what it was and we sadly felt ripped off as we like to support local businesses and it used to be so good.

disappointed. it’s not bad, but i won’t call it korean fried chicken. just a fried chicken. authentic korean fried chicken is different and tasted different.

On the way to get a take out and saw a few people enjoying a quality beer in peace. No youngsters swearing, just people relaxing with a quality beer or cider in a quiet atmosphere. Lovely welcoming Landlord , very knowledgeable and even had a quick sample before I bought. The way proper beers / ciders should be served. I'm only in the area for a couple of weeks but will go frequently whilst here. Enjoy everyone!!

My OH and I called in to Rossini's on Friday evening for a quick bite to save cooking. The restaurant is in a cordoned off section of the Two Brewers Pub, and although the pub itself seemed quite busy we were surprised that there were no other diners in the restaurant area. The restaurant area is decorated with artificial plants, vases and pots, and photos of Italy - it's not really flash but feels cosy and like a little authentic Italian family neighbourhood restaurant. Service was excellent, both of our servers were friendly and chatty, and despite being the only diners we didn't feel uncomfortable or unwelcome which can sometimes be the case. Food was first rate, again nothing flash but authentic and reasonably priced pasta, pizzas and main course grills in good sized portions. My OH had Arancini for a starter, I tried it too and we both thought it was very tasty. I had a spicy chicken, bacon and tomato penne and it was very spicy but lovely, my OH had the house pasta which he declared very good. We were both too full for desserts but next time we will save room! I do hope Rossini's gets more customers as they deserve to succeed, it is so nice to have an authentic and well priced Italian in Chelmsford instead of all the chain restaurants and over priced 'special occasion' restaurants.

Best food in town lovely staff and always come with the goods 🔥🔥🔥

Nice place to grab a quick coffee ans bite to eat. Coffee sizes are generous too and service is always friendly.
