The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in Chelmsford East of England

The food was absolutely lovely, but unfortunately, the service let the experience down. The waiters seemed more interested in posing for Instagram pictures and videos than actually looking after customers, which made the atmosphere feel very fake and forced. At the end of our meal, we were surprised to be told that they needed the table back because they were ‘too busy,’ even though we had only been there for an hour. Normally, we would have been offered a complimentary drink, but that didn’t happen this time. Overall, while the food was great, the lack of genuine hospitality and focus on social media rather than customer service was disappointing.

Had lamb ribs. I don’t regret my choice. Juicy and very tasty.

I was so disappointed with this restaurant. When I ordered I was told it would arrive in 30 minutes. I waited 1hr 10mins for the delivery and when it arrived it was stone cold. I called the restaurant who advised to give it back to the driver and they would send another ASAP. She apologised and said she would send some extra bits to compensate. When the second order arrived the only compensation I received was a dip!!! I ordered a lamb Shish and a portion of hummus (only 2 pieces of bread) came for the whole order. It was also warm (not hot) the lady on the phone couldn’t have been less interested. This just isn’t normal service from this restaurant but it has put me off from ordering again

Hands down my favourite restaurant locally. The service is always fast & the servers are very attentive. It’s a busy restaurant but the team are always giving 110% effort. Food is excellent and they have a great range. I love the Moroccan style lamb 👌🏽 Thank you for always giving us the best experience! I’m looking forward to trying these mango & passion fruit Eton mess!

Mixed platter starter was excellent, but mains (chicken kebabs) were very average. Service was random, attentive one minute but unable to get anyones attention to order more drinks with the meal. However the biggest ‘take away’ was the rounding up of our bill, despite our more than adequate tip. A mixed meze to share and 2x basic chicken kebabs, plus an Aperol Spritz, a soft drink, 2x coffees and tap water was rounded up - without asking - to £100. We won’t be rushing back!

Excellent Turkish restaurant. Really enjoyed the food and service here. Hope to come again soon

Randomly chose the Bakers arms on route home, we were greeted and made very welcome, we were given the choice where we would like to eat, we chose the restaurant, the waitress was lovely, I had cod chips and peas, the batter on the cod was awful, and the fish just tasted of lemon and pepper, this completely over powered the taste of the fish, the chips were hot and very nice as was the peas, my other half didn’t particularly like my fish either but he ate it as his meal was tiny, he had a fish mixed grill at £26 it was seriously over priced, the small portion he had, he enjoyed but it was more like the size of a starter, couldn’t fault the service, wouldn’t return, an expensive lunch to still feel hungry after wasn’t great
