Soiree Restaurant in Epping Forest

Lovely gem in Buckhurst Hill we went for lunch and waa really impressed the food is cooked well and very tasty the portions are generous so keep that in mind the drinks made well and the waiters were outstanding. We didnt have to wait long for our food to come so that waa good. I love that the tables aren't all crammed in together there is space in between to have private conversations and if you just wanted a drink at the bar there are little tables for that too. Toilets were clean and there are a few spaces to park outside which on a Sunday is adequate I'm not sure what it is like mid week or Saturday. I loved it here I will definitely be back!

We had a warm welcome from the staff. Beautiful and unique way of doing the food. Price point is just right. Presentation of the restaurant was good and they were baby friendly. Parking was easy on the high road during lunch hours. We were able to call ahead and pre-order so that we could visit during the lunch break. Very accommodating. We will return!

Went today before a spot of tennis, Billy served us with incredible customer service skills, the food was unbelievable best Turkish food ever, you must try the hummus and the local salad. Can't wait to go again.

The food and experience was amazing. The staff are so hospitable and attentive. The food was sensational. The atmosphere I'd very stylish. Great place to bring your loved one for special meal. Or friends too.

Love the venue the food is diverse yes always fantastic. The staff are a great team and always friendly making the whole dining experience a great one! They have great djs and singers to entertain every week! Defo worth a visit!

Visited on a Thursday night. Food was exceptional and the service was really great. Our server recommended some dishes which we found delicious! Nice variety of both vegetarian and non veg options, of high quality. Would recommend!

The restaurant is located on the high street which makes it easy to reach for locals and by transport to the nearby tube station.The atmosphere is dim lights with wood and brick textures, dark colours and a small fireplace. Overall, I would say it’s great for people that like more masculine decor.Food was served quickly and accompanied by some complimentary bread, dips and salad. The portion sizes were a little too big, but the food was cooked excellently. The moussaka was out on my first trip, which is a shame because I’m sure it was delicious.The grilled halloumi is great, so would definitely recommend.

We came for our friends 40th birthday on Thursday 13th May 2021. Absolutely great customer service from the team and compliments to the chef. The atmosphere was great it didn't seem like we were eating outside. Loads of heaters around so you weren't cold. The food menu is delicious. Grilled wings served with rice and salad was finger licking and I would recommend ordering the seafood mixed grill with monkfish and salmon on your next visit. Definitely going back to this restaurant to order the King prawn. The waitress gave us complimentary shots on the house for our friends birthday. We all left with a smile on our faces and left very content.

Went here for the first time the other night. We were seated immediately. We ordered a couple of drinks. The drinks were really really bitter. We sent them back & asked that simple syrup be added. We got the drinks back & they were just ‘ok’. For the price the drinks are charged at I’d expect a great drink so that was disappointing.Starters were delicious - the Borek & the creamed mushrooms were really tasty.Whilst we were eating the wait staff kept walking back & forth looking at our table. When we were finished with let’s say our drinks someone immediately came over & took the glass away & didn’t even ask if we wanted another drink. It made me feel quite anxious. There’s a difference between attentive & rushing & we felt rushed.For mains I ordered the Chicken Shish with chips & a salad. The Chicken shish itself tastes amazing. The chips were not nice at all - they were cold & soggy! Now thinking about it the wait staff probably wanted us to finish our starters to immediately serve our mains. Not great when you receive your order & it’s lukewarm. My friend ordered the falafel burger & she described it as very slimy.Additionally this restaurant does not observe social distancing at all. The tables are quite close to each other - so much so that the waitress squeezed between our table twice to take the orders for the tables to the left & right of us & the waitresses bum was on our table. I felt quite uncomfortable.They have a garden section which leads out to an area which patrons are allowed to smoke. Unfortunately this means that whomever is sat in the garden will inhale second hand smoke for the entire evening.The food is decent but feeling rushed, no social distancing, the waitresses bum on our table, the smell of second hand smoke just isn’t a good.

Came here for dinner on Friday night. Had many starters. The lahmacun was soft and not crispy. The pulled lamb was amazing. Everything else was just ok. Then for mains, I had a good steak but not the best I have had. Other have said the chicken was below average but the lamb was excellent. Worked out to be £46 each with tip including a few drinks. There was 7 of us. The service was slow as well and took forever to pay.
