First time at Dusk last night was amazing! Such a beautiful venue with stunning decor and great staff! Our designated waiter was so accommodating and professional and ensured that we had a good time. Special shout out to Zack who made it extra special to make my sisters birthday more memorable! Music and ambience was ๐๐ฝand ended with a complimentary shisha, which was a hit for the shisha lovers. Also, Chef even came to ask if the food was ok?! Will visit again

Loved this place, we ordered a 5 course tasting menu, everything was delicious with abit of theatrical presentation. Adds drama and excitement to the meal. You can tell every course its well thought out. Our waiter was brilliant and even the chef came out to greet us. Which really added a special touch. Would highly recommend this place, we are definitely coming back and going to buy a meal here for my sisters anniversary as a gift. Fully halal menu and drinks served

๐๐๐๐ธ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑLast August, I won a ยฃ250 voucher to dine at Dusk. I was SO excited as itโs a place that has been on my list for a while but I wasnโt able to visit as children arenโt allowed, (probs should go on date nights with Hubby without the kidsโฆ ia one day). I decided to take the Nutters with me instead. Food is halal and no alcohol is served on the premise.Once seated, we were told weโd be sampling the 5 course tasting menu. This is what I chose:- ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ด๐ป๐ฒ (๐ป๐ผ๐ป ๐ฎ๐น๐ฐ๐ผ๐ต๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ) & ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฟ- ๐ช๐ฎ๐ด๐๐ ๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐๐- ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ผ๐ด๐ ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐- ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ (๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐ฝ๐, ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐น๐ฒ ๐ต๐๐บ๐บ๐๐, ๐ด๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐, ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐, ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ด ๐น๐ผ๐ด ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ- ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐- ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐นThe tasting menu is designed to be a theatrical/immersive experience - serving dishes with liquid nitrogen, a `campfireโ. Some of the dishes we tried were scrumptious!The Wagyu 2 ways as the name suggests is served two ways; hot and cold (they bring over the liquid nitrogen to cool the meat instantly).The meat was cooked beautifully, it literally melts in your mouth. The flavours worked so well together. I did prefer the hot version over the cold meat. Absolutely loved, loved this dish!The Kellogs cornflakes were a posh popcorn chicken, served with a really tasty sauce.The Campfire was sensational! The lamb chops were cooked perfectly, succulent, flavoursome and so delicious! The ghost reaper gravy was heavenly, I dipped everything into the gravy. The dish was luscious!I thought the desserts were ok.The service was great, they were very attentive. The restaurant had a live DJ, so it was extremely loud, to the point sometimes we couldnโt hear eachother, which was a shame. Iโm not sure if they have music playing everyday though.Overall, we really enjoyed most of the dishes, food had an abundance of flavours and was cooked very well. Iโd highly recommend the Wagyu 2 ways and Campfire dishes!5 course tasting menu: ยฃ893 course tasting menu: ยฃ59๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ @duskbrentwood

By far the worst fine dinning restaurant I have been to.The restaurant was freezing cold and practically empty for a Friday evening. The effort was seen in the desperate decoration of food but total careless on quality of food. I cook far much better at home. Chef is over confident, fish was over cooked, chops were thin and not the best with a multi colour quarter bagel rock hard. Staff were attentive but shame about the overall serviceโฆ I was looking forward to this place. We skipped dessert & tea, cancelled on sheesha as we realised the place is under graded.Has potential but owner needs to sort his menu out..not a fine dinning at all. Even disappointed is an understatement.

Probably the worst place Iโve been to. 7 of us went to the shisha lounge for a birthday meal on a Sunday. To start with, the place was freezing and there was a draft which made it even colder. Our booking was at 6:30 and none of the heaters were on. We were all freezing. We asked if we could have an extra heater near us as the place was empty except for another table next to us. The woman said no. The heaters were on wheels and could easily be moved but she said she wonโt move it as itโs been put there for other customers. I asked if there were any other bookings to which she said no. No other customers turned upโฆ.The food was very basic, we ordered 5 spicy lamb smash burgers. There was nothing spicy about it?? I asked if there were jalepenos inside at least but there was nothing. A very bland burger. The lamb chops were flavourless but edible. The masala chips was basically chips smothered in a chilli ketchup sauce. The food went cold extremely quickly as it was freezing inside.The coke was watered down coke on tap, and came in a primary school cup. We were also refused tap water for some reason. Rather odd but apparently they donโt provide tap water. This is a first that Iโve heard in any restaurant, especially one that serves alcohol. Our bill came to ยฃ340+, definitely overpriced for the quality of food we received. ยฃ18 for a spicy smash burger that wasnโt spicy or smashed lamb and tastes better from your local kebab shop for a quarter of the priceOverall, a nice looking place but mediocre food and even worse service considering there were only 2 tables in the restaurant. I highly recommend not visiting in all honesty and probably the worst shisha lounge Iโve been to.

I was recommended this restaurant by a Client and I decided I would treat my Mother to Dinner. As we arrived we was welcomed with a warm greeting and our table was ready so we didnโt have to wait long to be seated. We choose the 5 course tasting menu which was exceptional. I really loved the creativity of the dishes. I would recommend โEnchantedโ the Rock tail lobster, my Mother who isnโt a Seafood fan absolutely loved it, it was that good. A special thanks to Chef Stephen who comes to your table and speaks to you to see how you are enjoying your dishes which was a real bonus for us. It felt as if we had our own personal Chef, such a warm person. Last but not least desert was ambrosial I could not fault it one bit. The price is very reasonable for fine dining, the Customer service from the Staff are all amazing they really go above and beyond and I have already made a reservation for me and my Husbandโs 5 year Anniversary. Thank you DUSK!!

Me and my partner went for a date night after more than a year and we were both really glad we chose this place as we were treated like royalty. The food was amazing, good portions and presentation was lovely. I honestly donโt understand some of the negative reviews because the service, food and everything was just 10/10. We are attended to often, to make sure that we were happy and everything was fine, so I canโt fault it. Would definitely go back!

10/10 experience start to end. Presentation was out of this world!!!! I would visit again just for the presentation experience as it was so magical however the food was also absolutely delicious. I had the 5 course taster meal. If you get the campfire try heating the chops on the fire for a few seconds. Iโm still in awe. Staff were also 10/10. Canโt wait to go back ahhh. Canโt upload videos on here and the photos wonโt do it enough justice but Iโve included some anyway!

Went there for my anniversary and itbwas our first time out for a fine dining meal and I must say it was well worth the wait!Ordered off the a la carte menu and the food was amazing. The king prawns texturwere cooked to perfection (not overdone and rubbery like most other places) and was bursting with flavour. The "angry birds" meal was awesome and full of flavour in every bite. This is a place I'd definitely recommend you all try!
