EGO AT RUNNING MARE REVIEWS

We arrived a bit earlier than expected, but despite our early arrival, they warmly welcomed us and made us feel right at home. The staff greeted us with a smile and made sure we were comfortable from the moment we walked in. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, adding to the overall pleasant experience.

Dropped in on a spur of the moment lunch and very pleasantly surprised. Excellent service from a efficient smiling staff. I had the Moroccan lamb from the a la carte menu which was outstanding and very filling. Definitely returning as there's a good choice on the menus.

Fantastic hot food which were good size portions. The staff were outstanding! Catered to all our needs with politeness and a friendly deposition.

ZORBA THE GREEK REVIEWS

We came here on a Saturday night and everything was brilliant. Service was so quick and friendly. All the food we had was cooked fresh and all amazing. The lamb literally fell off the bone! Greek wine was great too, bold. Finished off with baklava and homemade cakes which are absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend coming here to anyone looking for top quality food and evening.

Visited Sat 16th March 24 with 5 other ladies from our dining & afternoon tea group. We have worked through the alphabet & this was our last letter. We certainly ended our journey at an absolute gem of a place. The portions of food were substantial & it was very tasty. The staff were friendly. A very popular place as most of the tables were taken.

You will not find a better more traditional Greek restaurant than this. Food is all very traditional and brilliantly done everything was absolutely delicious, price is better than reasonable and the portion sizes are huge so make sure to go on empty stomach! Will be regular visitors now.

TURQUOISE KITCHEN BAR & GRILL REVIEWS

Booked for family lunch on a Sunday. The food was amazing-we had mixed kebabs and lamb and chicken. Served with warm breads couscous and salad. The meat was succulent and tender. Im not normally a big fan of Turkish food but this place may have won me over.Our server Abdul was helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

Loved this place. The food is delicious and the drinks were really good. Great atmosphere. The manager, Oljay, was very attentive and friendly, making sure our visit was all round, a great experience. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Food and drinks tasted amazing, lovely atmosphere in the restaurant we will definitely be returning. The owner Oljay has done a lovely job designing the restaurant, also went above and beyond for our table and others around, would highly recommend if your in Chelmsford your try it !!
