The best restaurants in Loughton Broadway Epping Forest East of England

Fabios is amazing. I was in the UK from the US for work and it quickly became my go to place for coffee and breakfast. If you are in Debden, I would recommend stopping.

The chicken shish and wings are cooked to perfection at Efezade. Tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor. A real treat!

Food always presented well pand hot. The staff are very friendly and always helpful. Very nice place to eat.10/10

Muy bonito lugar y muy amable los camareros y el cordero de ferrocarril al curry y Malabar paratha es una comida muy sabrosa. Recomiendo este lugar

This review is a bit odd because the food was excellent, but the service was disappointing, which is surprising given that the restaurant seemed to be overstaffed. Food The food was delicious, flavorful, well-portioned, and reasonably priced. The cocktails were also enjoyable. Service 1) I had to call three times to book a table because no one answered the phone. 2) Upon arrival with my wife and three kids, we stood at the entrance waiting to be seated (it wasn’t that busy), but no one acknowledged us. It seemed like there was no clear assignment for greeting customers, and we had to approach someone ourselves. 3)The table wasn’t clean, so we couldn’t sit immediately. 4) We waited 15 minutes before anyone took our order. 5) It took 15 minutes to receive our drinks, which were just canned beverages that could have been served immediately. 6) Staff were eating behind the counter while other customers waited for their food. 7) They got our order wrong. 8) No one asked how our meal was. 9) It took an unusually long time to pay. 10) There was no “thank you for coming.” I said thank you as we left, but no one acknowledged it. So, despite the great food, the service left much to be desired. This is one of those places that could really excel if they just focused on improving their service.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Definitely the best Indian around The staff were very helpful and recommended dishes when we asked the food was served hot and promptly 👍

Freshwater offer lavish and huge, tasty portions of freshly made food at a very reasonable price. My wife's first instinct that day was to go to MacDonalds but the quality of food and value for money at Freshwaters was way beyond what we would have had there. Freshwater serve you a proper meal.

Great food and a great price! Always fresh and very nice! The local lunch spot every day, cooks your food, the right way!

Having read one or two less than complimentary reviews. I can confirm we had Pie and mash as expected. No soggy bottoms. Good size pies full of scrumptious meat, plenty of mash and liquor.All washed down with a cup of tea. Nostalgia personified. Eight old boys who all used to live nearby and frequent this pie and mash shop in their youth. Same location for over 60 years. And a friendly welcome from the staff. Walked in and was sitting down to eat and drink in less than 3 minutes. Beat that MacDonalds. Give it a try if you are around the Debden or loughton area

Our favourite local kebab shop! Went by with the fam, tasty Doner kebab and chips. Clean shop, friendly staff, everyone happy

Number eight in the queue, nine people behind me and only one of four staff serving. Not ideal when they could have whizzed through us

What an amazing place to have a family dinner with the kids, the service was fantastic and the food was exceptional good, thank you Mushi Rahman for your service.
