Cozy dining in Grays

“First time trying the classic and the blimey burgers, both tasted amazing, burgers were soft and full of flavour, sauces in the burgers were great, especially the blimey sauce, one of the best burger takeaways around. I will come back again.”

“I invested in Bethan Gray's Brogue leather coffee table a number of years ago and admire it in my living room every day. Beautiful piece and top class workmanship.”

“I have been going here since I worked in the area and the food and cafe are some of the best I have ever had. You can get everything here. Breakfast is the best. They do pretty much anything you want. It is clean, the staff are the best people and they work so hard to provide the best customer service. I would seriously suggest that if you work in the area you should give these guys a call even if you can’t sit down. Just order for collection. They are quick and their food is so good. Thanks guys John.”

“Delicious food& lovely, warm atmosphere! The staff are so accommodating and the interior is lovely, a must visit.”

“This was our first time ever eating in an Indian Restaurant. We were well received and served by the staff. We would recommend this establishment to others to dine on fine Indian cuisine!!”

“Very good experience first time trying an Indian restaurant in London !! Service was perfect and everyone is very nice !”

“My husband and I needed a quick breakfast near kings cross station, Google brought us here. It was a perfect last breakfast in the UK. Pancakes were amazing and “The Number 2” was just what we wanted! Service was super friendly and quick, coffees were tasty. Great experience overall.”

“We were helped today from Chandni who was so incredibly helpful - she listened to our criteria and made the best and honest recommendation which ended up being much cheaper and at great quality in comparison to a competitor we were originally considering. She was super kind and accommodating which made the experience seamless. Excited to come again!”

“Had a full english brakefast which was tasty and cheap. Am 6,4 tall and one plate was more than enough for me. Fair prices. Waited 5-10 min for a food. Food tasty and the lady was so nice to us. Thank you!!”

“Love it, man. Amazing pizza, best dough. Always satisfied to order my pizza from this place.”

“Great food, reasonable prices and friendly positive customer service. Highly recommended. For pic from my travels my inta:michaelqmul”

“A chefs perspective of ottos it could not get more French when you walk in your transported to France. The owner is a French as they come! I thought the goats cheese soufflé was one of the best starters I’ve ever had. The scallops were also as good as it gets. The service on the starters wasn’t the best they got our starters mixed up the front of house manager took our order so that was his bad the younger waiter had to take the embarrassment for it!. I did find the front of house manager abir all the place pacing up and down the restaurant looking quite bored at times but he is good with customer with his old school approach and jokes and he’s certainly knows what he’s doing. It was quiet that night so maybe that was the mistake and the pacing up and down. As for the rack of lamb the theatre was great but the lamb was as good as roar in my opinio. I forgot how rare the French cook meat. That ruined it for me and in my opinion English peolple think that is to under cooked the worst part was the fat had not been rendered down and was very raw and tough also the whole lamb was under seasoned and it needed some sort of peas maybe as a purea?! It ruined rhe meal for me I said to my sister I’ve only cooked a rack of lamb a few times so these guys should get it bang on cooking it most nights but they messed it up big time! They should ask how you want it cooked because once it’s been carved that’s it you will have to flash it in a pan which will ruin it to cook it more! execute the cooking right b4 you bring the theatre out I would say I have never had pomme soufflés b4 I wanted to get them to see what the hype is about they were exactly how they should be looks wise a work of art crafted by a mater of his trade! They are extremely hard to make so hats of ro the chef who did them for me sadly as I expected rhe flavour was not great just like a crisp with no seasoning the salt had not even stuck to them again all about the theatre but lacking in seasoning. They would be better served with some sort of Hollandaise or aioli not the jus. The Apple tart was to die for and the chocolate pot and the after dinner truffles were not very impressive . It’s a great restaurant I would not return I would say it’s the sort of place most people would only go once I would not say it’s worth the price tag for normal people anyway. I know my food and how hospitality runs so I like to leave an honest chefs review of restaurants. I would like to say the younger guys in the team were very professional and knew what they were doing shame they have to make up mistakes of others but it was an experience I wanted to show my sister a higher class of food and service and it did deliver just a shame rhe lamb was not right. Whej it came to the bill I was not willing to pay the 12.5% tip I wanted to tip what I thought it was worth they wanted £30 service charge well I put 10£ for it and of course like all fancy places and most places in general in london they make you feel bad for it and it can create a scene my £10 was a fair tip they shpuid of been happy with considering the service they had given me and tbh this bugs me about these places I’m not from the 1% my bill is already very expensive why embarrass me in front of other guests and my sister not all guests have endless amounts of money and don’t take it personally if people cannot pay the service charge it’s optional some people are hard up and save for a meal like this. Thanks to ottos for the experience it’s something I will not forgot the French know how to eat drink and live that’s for sure there food brings joy all round the globe they are very passionate people when it comes to hospitality.”

“My wife bought 2 pizzas couple of days ago.She just explained where exactly is the place and today I go and get 2 large pizzas. About the service: Very kind,helpful and smile people are working there. About the pizza:This is proper Italian style pizza,not like PizzaHut,Domino or other American style pizza what if you not get ketchup the taste is proper rubbish. They using proper products and they know how to make you Italian Pizza! Always freshly cooked! Forgot to make a picture,anyway we eat them all. Definitely will back to them soon. They also are lovely people. Everything there is looking clean and tidy. I’m so happy we found this Thank you so much,will see you very soon :)”

“Like a scene from a Guy Richie movie. It’s your typical east London greasy spoon, only in Essex. Very friendly staff, spotlessly clean and great grub. I’d recommend it”

“Excellent customer service by Darryl today in the Thurrock store. We spent a long time choosing the right table then chairs, Darryl went above and beyond! Even matched the 5% discount we would have got online with our Smartsave app! Highly recommend!”

“Convinced that this is one of London best kept secrets!! Had the most amazing curry when visiting for my dad's birthday. Service impeccable! Will definitely be returning. This is the best curry I've had.”

“Great experience at Dreams today. Vanessa was very helpful when we needed advice for a small headboard fix, and we left completely sorted. We have always trusted Dreams for quality and service, and we'll happily return when we are ready for our next bed.”

“We were here for my daughter’s pizza making birthday party. Although there were some issues with finalising the details prior to the party, on the day of the party itself, my daughter and her classmates all enjoyed the experience thoroughly. Each child received a starter, their own designed pizza and dessert. The party was mainly managed by Julianna who was a great host in making sure everything went through smoothly without it feeling rushed.”

“Came on a Tuesday evening and it was a really nice atmosphere, not overly busy and very quick service. The staff were extremely quick to correct my order when I forgot to mentioned removing a sauce that I didn't like, they were very quick to bring out a new burger and made me feel like it wasn't a bother for them even though I felt so bad! We will definitely be back!”

“Great place for chilling out with friends. Me and my mate go around there to play some pool every weekend, never had a bad experience. The staff is nice and very helpful. Really recommend this place.”

“We were served by Scott today and he was very friendly and helpful. My mum managed to get her curtains and cushions from the Thurrock store and we loved having a good look round all the departments. We also had a pot of tea in the cafe which was lovely. There’s so much to browse in store that we need a tea break! Dunelm is one of our favourite shops and we always head there first for beautiful quality housewares.”

“Well placed cafe on 1st floor. Great choice of food and drinks available”

“I can't say enough great things about our weekly visits to Ask Italian. It's become a Sunday family tradition that we all look forward to every week. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind after a busy week. What truly makes our experience special are the wonderful girls, Niki and Anna. They are consistently friendly and attentive, always going the extra mile to ensure we feel welcome. Their genuine interactions with my kids add an extra layer of joy to our visits. It’s heartwarming to see how they engage with them, making them feel special and included. The food is consistently delicious, with a variety of options that cater to everyone’s tastes. Whether we’re trying something new or sticking to our favorites, we’re always satisfied. Overall, Ask Italian feels like a second home to us, and we’re grateful for the fantastic service from Niki, Anna and all the staff. If you’re looking for a place where you can enjoy a great meal and feel like part of a family, this is it!”

“A very decent and consistently good Chinese Food Takeaway service. They are good value and decent quality.”

“Had a pizza in bookham today. Margherita. Absolutely superb. Authentic pizza. Really nice touch with wood fire oven and all freshly cooked. Recommend.”

“Good food lots of choice very friendly and helpful.”

“Charlie who served our table was really lovely. Great service with a smile, give her a pay rise. The whole team was really helpful and they seemed to want to be there. Charlie gave a hearty welcome and gave us a table explaining the online ordering process. The wait for the food was appropriate. And she checked to make sure everything was ok. I saw her support an elderly couple who were struggling with the whole QR code situation with their order. Overall I'm happy and will recommend, 4 stars as I thought the prices for what you get weren't great.”

“We were had breakfast there today,(also eveing meals) the food was lovely, loved the porridge. The 2 ladies Beverly and Anita were very friendly and chatty felt comfortable and relaxed. The dinning area was clean and very well looked after We would highly recommend. Thank you it made our 2 day break go really great.”

“Amazing experience! Great coffee...”

“Tasty food, ordering on website was easy, delivery wasn't too long, paid by card when delivered which was handy, menu selection was good. I would order again.”
