The 30 Best Dining experiences in Upminster

“I cant fault this place For authentic Thai food this is the one Super fresh great tasting fantastic value for money too”

“First time eating here. Very impressed. Food was great and very fairly priced. Staff very friendly and helpful.”

“Just come home, what a fantastic meal we had, everything from food, service and atmosphere was all perfect! Not sure how long this little gem has been here but 100% recommend and will be back, 2 courses and a bottle of wine about £65pp and we have enough food for dinner tomorrow which we was able to box up. So impressed thank you!”

“Been here several times for breakfast. Always friendly, polite and the service is good. Food is good and plentiful, but can get quite busy.”

“Delicious food, I can wholeheartedly recommend chicken milanese burger and salmon and prawns pasta. Fresh and delicious!”

“Well... I've never used this indian before but i was pleasantly surprised. I orderd a meal for delivery at 10.40pm (20 mins before closing) and they still accepted my order even though it was going to take around 40 mins to deliver, as a first time customer this surprised me. The food was still hot when delivered and the delivery guy was very pleasant. Down to the grub... We had shami kebab and onion bhaji for starters and they where some of the best we've ever eaten, and we've had a few Indian meals in our time. I forgot the name of main we had but it was spiced chicken in a light tangy sauce with ginger, chilli and onions. Once again this was beautifully made and tasty. The rice and naan breads we had were also spot on and the bombay potatoes were beautiful. So, if you're hungry and are in two minds about picking this restaurant i hope my review may help you in your choice.”

“We want to say a big thank you to the whole team at Stanford, especially Ken, Fiona and Richard. The design process was very thorough. We must have changed our minds over a dozen times, but Ken had great patience with us. We had a couple of minor issues with installation, but the team worked professionally and promptly to rectify. We are delighted with our kitchen and would happily recommend Stanford Design for anyone wanting a new kitchen.”

“Nice little cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Does banging breakfasts and fresh ground coffee Staff are very nice and friendly”

“This is my new favourite cafe!! It's got so much better over time. I must Go there atleast once a week or I start missing it!!! Have tried a lot of other cafes but this is the best one so far.

“Lovely café with great vibes! I had such a great experience at this café — cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and absolutely delicious food and drinks. The coffee was smooth and rich, and the pastries were fresh and full of flavor. I also appreciated the little touches like comfy seating, fast Wi-Fi, and clean, well-kept surroundings. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. Service was quick and welcoming, and everything felt really well thought out. Highly recommend if you’re in the area — I’ll definitely be back!”

“The Garden Coffee Shop & Diner is a delightful find — cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. From the moment I walked in, the friendly staff made me feel right at home. The menu has something for everyone, whether you're after a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or just a great cup of coffee. I had the smoked haddock, and it was cooked to perfection — fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere — it’s relaxed and inviting, with a real community feel. You can tell it’s run with care and love. I’ll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend!”

“Been here twice now and will keep coming back . I have travelled quite a lot and eaten at many Indian restaurants so thought this wasn't going to be good but have to say it's one of my favs . The dishes are original and delicious. They were so sweet, they even gave my parents a free bottle of wine as a gift when they found out it was their anniversary x”

“Quick service, friendly staff and fresh and tasty food. Value 4 money too.”

“Easily cheaper than the other local options, better quality food too and greater quantities of good with the orders. The garlic bread with cheese is delicious and never let's you down. Take it from a Turk. They're good at what they do and they are our regulars now. Teşekkürler Effendim”

“Me and my family love this place, food is amazing they serve it while its still steaming to show its cooked through. Service is great, the workers is really nice me and my family go a lot the workers know us quite well which is also nice. But overall yall deserve 5 stars im coming back soon!”

“Lovely little cafe, great service and the kitchen was really accommodating for my dietary requirements. Nice atmosphere and not too crowded for an evening meal.”

“The best fish and chips in Upminster. A long-standing family-run business that has been on the highstreet for as long as I can remember. The food is always made fresh, and the taste is not bettered in Upminster. There is also a restaurant should you wish to dine in, I'd recommend booking as seating is a little limited.”

“I visited the Jobbers rest for the first time yesterday and was blown away with the quality of the food. I can probably say that was the best roast dinner I’ve had from anywhere. I had the beef which just melted in your mouth the roast potatoes were crispy and cauliflower cheese was included in the dinner. I also thought it was great value for money for what I received. They had a wide variety of drinks the wine I had was delicious. The waiting staff were good. On the whole a really pleasant experience and would definitely recommend.”

“Best takeaway we've had. Always have found that takeaways never quite replicate what you get served in a restaurant. But Tasty Bites are the first to manage it.”

“I contacted the Tea Cosy for catering for my Baby Shower. Wonderful service great communication and the food was amazing, delivered straight to my door. Thank you again Tea Cosy!”

“Must visit*** Our local indian restaurant, great food, great staff & really good prices.”

“Fantastic Food. Great service. Very happy and friendly staff. Love this place.”

“Excellent cafe. Really warm welcome from friendly and efficient staff. Massive menu of the usual cafe items with some nice Mediterranean/Turkish elements. I had the Mediterranean Omelette and it was really tasty with nice fresh salad”
