Menad - Basildon

The food at this restaurant is excellent, although it could be more affordable. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is great for a lunch meal. The price per person is around £30-40. Overall, I would give the food, service, and atmosphere all a rating of 5 out of 5.

I stopped by for lunch and discovered that the 2-course offer advertised on the website was no longer available (should be updated). However, there was a 25% discount on the main menu items during lunchtime. The food was delicious, featuring traditional Turkish dishes along with some special options. The atmosphere was pleasant, the service was excellent, and the prices were reasonable. Parking can be a challenge as the restaurant is located on a busy junction at the end of Billericay High Street. The best option is to park at the large public car park about halfway down the street and take a short walk to the restaurant. It is also conveniently located near Billericay main line station.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant, giving it 5 stars. The food exceeded my expectations, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was calm and enjoyable. My coworkers and I ordered various dishes such as garlic prawns, halloumi, calamari, and tarama for starters, and for the main course we had chicken shish, chicken kulbasti, lamb kulbasti, sarma lamb beyti, and sea bream. For dessert, we enjoyed chocolate flake ice cream. Overall, it was a mouth-watering experience and I highly recommend this place. I will definitely visit again. Thank you.

Surprised by the high rating. Maybe we were unlucky on the day. The falafel were the most bland we've ever tasted. The BBQ'd meats were a little undercooked and again lacked character. The kofta was red in the middle and tasted raw. Not my spice going on. This was disappointing. Chilli sauce was fresh with a lovely kick. The service was excellent. Meal type: Dinner
