Dinner menu in Upminster

“Good cafe. Been coming here for a few years and have never been disappointed. Good selection of food and the bubble & squeak is this best I have ever had. The lovely man who runs the cafe is so lovely and friendly. Highly recommend this cafe.”

“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 ordered sushi on the website and by accident I placed the order twice. The restaurant kindly called me to clarify which I really appreciate. The food quality was amazing, and the portions good. We were pleasantly surprised to find two mochis as a thank you for the order :). We will definitely order from them again!”

“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. Even my friend comes from Barkingside to eat here with me!!! Amazing paninis! And smoothies too! Lovely staff, so friendly and welcoming, all smiles!! Edited to add: Oct 2024 and still the best one for a jacket potato!!”

“Lovely food for a great price, everyone working in there is so friendly and helpful, would recommend”

“Second time to this restaurant. The service provided by the host was incredible. They make us feel incredibly welcome and always attentive. The curry itself simply speaks for itself. Simply delightful.”

“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!”

“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!”

“This is a family run restaurant. It’s been going for a long long time. . When we lived in Upminster we were frequent visitors and on a return visit we were excited to go back after 7 years. The food was as excellent as it always had been. One of our party was vegetarian and instead of being an after thought on the menu she was told everything came as a vegetarian option. I had forgotten how great they are on vegetable dishes, everything tastes and is recognisable as what it is. I love this consistently great restaurant. I would say we had visited 100 times before moving away and never had a bad meal. Delighted to return and find it hasn’t changed. I’ve literally been dreaming about the meal we had.”

“Nice beer and friendly bar staff. What more could you ask for. Friendly locals; lovely garden with big screen for the footie.”

“Good chef, more peking style than chinese. Crispy shredded beef v nice, special fried rice and noodles all good also,”

“I had mixed feelings about coming to the restaurant as the reviews wasn't great. I was so pleasantly surprised. On entering we were welcomed with the lovely host, who was friendly and showed us to our table. She explained the menu to us. There were 16 of us so i was worried about the quality of the food. No need!! The food was hot, fresh and delicious! I can't rate this place enough. When I didn't know what a dish was, the host came over and explained perfectly. She was lovely. We tried things that we wouldn't usually, and every single thing we had was cooked beautifully. I will definitely be back. Friendly, fun, and above all tasty! Thank you to the wonderful staff and amazing chef!”

“Very nice food. I ordered from them already 3 times for collection. I can recommend it. Yummy food.”
