The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Basildon East of England

One of the nicest, best coffee spots I've ever been to. Most cappuccino are like latte, but this place does it right. Pastries are really tasty and home baked. Lots of interesting items for sale. Six in our party and all very pleased with their order. Staff are very friendly and provide great service. Located beside a small park. Wish it was close to home--I'd be a frequent visitor.

Needed lunch on the hop, didn't fancy a tesco meal deal, popped in here to see if they would do me a sandwich to go and yes. Well this sandwich was the nicest sandwich i think ive ever had in my life. Maybe I was really hungry. But the granary bread was amazing, the chicken tikka was yum, and there was so much fresh crisp salad and just the right amount of mayo. Looking forward to going back for another.

Our visit was for Afternoon Tea for Fathers Day and a family gathering. Lovely, bright, clean venue. Friendly, attentive staff and most of all great food. Excellent value. Will certainly visit again. Well done.

Staff are excellent service great

Unbelievable! Understand that it’s Not a late bar but the staff were so very rude to friends that had travelled from Manchester at 9.45 snatched our drinks & told to leave. Never have I felt so embarrassed!

We have been coming here for about a year. Excellent service and food. Yes, it maybe a little more expensive than your typical 'pub' but it is well worth the money. Its our go-to restaurant for birthdays and special occasions. Staff always friendly and polite. Lovely beer garden out the back as well.

I was completely unimpressed and disappointed with my breakfast at cloud9. Service and food was poor. Remember this place being great but believe changed hands which caused it to go downhill. I would not recommend.

The food was amazing but the experience was ruined because of my waitress. She was not nice at all, grumpy and rude. I requested to personalise my order and she was so rude about it. I ordered a water and they served my boyfriends drink but never served my water, even after they brought the food out. Again the waitress’s attitude was terrible, she ruined the experience and actually threw our bread down on the table. Didn’t acknowledge us or anything, just threw it down as she walked past. The rest of the staff were absolutely wonderful, it’s a shame that one woman let them down.

Great service Great food and Quality Food Nice flavor coffee Service with a smile. Never tried the restrooms but told clean and nice smelling

Lovely local pub, does try and do a lot of things for everyone so worth checking if West Ham are playing on the night that karaoke is on and not booking a table with dog and the Christmas menu at the same time. It could be that half the pub has also been rented for a birthday! Green King food and love the IPA hot sauce. Sometimes have a kilo of chicken wings on the menu which is an absolute bargain. Often have guest ales but check at the bar they are still on.

It's was all too busy at anytime to stop partying with others people.

The bar staff where very nice and helpful

Having read the very few bad reviews here I wonder if they were describing the right cafe! Their reviews do not reflect my experiences. I have been using this cafe regularly for a number of years. I sometimes come in with my friends for brunch on a Monday and with my wife and inlaws on a Sunday. I have yet to have a bad meal or poor service. On the very rare occasion we have had an issue it has been corrected straight away. The service is personal and great. They serve the best breakfast in Essex. My inlaws always eat the same thing, as they enjoy it so much. Great food and great value for money.

Just had breakfast not impressed at all had cheapest sausage cheap tasteless bacon egg tomato & beans which were ok 2 supposedly buttered granary toast which was brown bread I specifically ask for granary. Don't go to Wickford much but next time wait and go to spoons a lot cheaper and much better quality produce.

I have known about the existence of this place for years, but it had never crossed my mind to visit it. That changed the day my friend suggested we meet there with our families—his wife and mine—since he knows the owner of the café. Of course, I couldn’t say no to free treats, so we agreed to meet at this café for the first time, after knowing about it for so long. The café is located within the town centre, making it convenient to access. It also offers an open-aired seating area for smokers, which adds an extra option for those who prefer to sit outdoors. Things started off really well. The place looked interesting, and I was hungry for breakfast, so I was eager to give it a try. However, the first thing that caught my attention was the seating area—it was quite tight, especially for someone chunky like me. It’s obvious that having a meal comfortably requires not just a decent seat, but also enough space for free movement. Unfortunately, this was disappointing. The issue wasn’t just the limited space between the seat and the table, but also how cramped it was sitting side by side with others. It made the experience a bit uncomfortable. Nevertheless, we managed to settle in and made the best of it. Once we got seated, we asked for the menu. I must say, the menu had plenty of options, which was a pleasant surprise. After taking our time to browse, we decided to go with a Mediterranean/Turkish breakfast, a cheese omelette, and a cup of tea for each of us. These have now become my go-to orders whenever I visit a café—as long as they’re available. One of the first things I noticed was the cleanliness, which was satisfactory and met my expectations. It’s always reassuring when a place feels clean and well-maintained. When our food arrived, I was impressed by the portion sizes—they were quite generous, which is something I always appreciate. The Mediterranean breakfast spread had a variety of items that were fresh and well-prepared, while the cheese omelette was fluffy and flavorful. As for the tea, it was served in mugs rather than a teapot. While the mugs weren’t necessarily bad, I would have much preferred if they served the tea in a pot. There’s just something about tea served in a pot that makes the experience more enjoyable, especially since you get the added benefit of a little extra hot water for refills. I think it’s a small touch that places like this could implement to make their service more desirable. Overall, the experience had its ups and downs. The café offers an interesting atmosphere, and the food was satisfying in terms of quality and portion size. However, the tight seating arrangement and the lack of a teapot for tea are things I believe could be improved. At the end of the day, it’s about creating a comfortable and enjoyable environment for customers, and a few adjustments could go a long way in elevating the experience. I’m glad we finally visited this place, and while it’s not perfect, it’s a spot worth checking out for a hearty breakfast—as long as you don’t mind squeezing into your seat!
