About This Place

Buzz Kitchen Basildon offers an inviting culinary journey through authentic Turkish and Mediterranean flavors right in the heart of Basildon. Nestled on Festival Way, this vibrant restaurant doubles up as a beloved brunch spot, cocktail bar, and lunch destination, making it a versatile choice for any dining occasion.

Step inside, and you’re greeted by a warm, welcoming ambience that perfectly complements the rich and aromatic cuisine. Fans of Mediterranean and Turkish food will find a delightful array of dishes crafted with passion and fresh ingredients. From the sweetness of their signature Baklava to the perfectly grilled Octopus that boasts tender, smoky notes, every bite transports you to sun-drenched shores. The Beyti Chicken or Lamb is a standout, expertly seasoned and wrapped in flatbread, while the Lamb Ribs and Kleftico Lamb Shank offer a hearty, melt-in-your-mouth experience for meat lovers.

The menu also shines with elegant seafood starters such as Seared Scallops and Crispy Calamari, each presenting a balance of texture and flavor that teases the palate. Salads like the classic Greek Salad and zesty Spicy Ezme Salad provide refreshing contrasts, enhancing the Mediterranean authenticity.

What truly elevates Buzz Kitchen Basildon is its extensive drinks selection, from fresh juices and cider to expertly crafted cocktails like the tropical Pina Colada and the ever-popular Aperol Spritz. Whiskey and bourbon enthusiasts will appreciate carefully curated options including Jameson and Glenfiddich 12 years, offering something for every refined taste.

Patrons consistently praise the generous portion sizes and quality that deliver excellent value, as highlighted by Nishant Mankame, who experienced amazing flavors combined with a welcoming atmosphere. Eser echoes this sentiment, applauding the beautifully presented dishes and attentive service that makes every visit feel special. Even solo diners like Dean Memory find the fixed-price menu a smart choice, though the spacious setting might feel a touch quiet for some.

While some guests, like LetRabzReviewThis, note that the atmosphere could benefit from a boost of energy to match the exquisite food quality, others, including Eddie Hadjiminas, appreciate the carefully curated background music that adds a distinctive vibe to the dining experience. Overall, Buzz Kitchen Basildon strikes an excellent balance between delicious traditional dishes, friendly service, and a relaxed setting, making it an ideal spot for everything from a casual lunch to a celebratory dinner.

For a taste of the Mediterranean with a Turkish twist paired with an extensive bar selection and thoughtful service, Buzz Kitchen Basildon is a destination that leaves a lasting impression on your palate and your mood.

    Really tasty food, good portion sizes. A big place and being quiet I felt a little isolated being a sole diner. The fixed price menu was really good value.

    **Great Food, Good Service, but Lacking Atmosphere** Buzz Kitchen delivered on flavor—the food was fresh, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and efficient, making for a smooth dining experience. However, the atmosphere didn’t quite match the quality of the meal. It felt a bit lacking in energy or warmth, which would have elevated the overall experience. Still, if you’re looking for great food and solid service, it’s definitely worth a visit!

    We had a lovely meal and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Good portions and food tasted good. Music in the background brings in a different vibe and added to the atmosphere.

    Nice place. Pleasant atmosphere. Very, very beautiful as soon as you enter. Nice music, staff not aggressive.Perfect for events, birthdays etc. Came here with the family, for a birthday. Everybody happy with the food, drink (Effes beer, draft, Whiskey etc.) Super tasty food (reason why we always select Turkish restaurants when we have this opportunity). Adams lofted, Klefticonlamb shank, pita bread, wings, appetizers etc.

    6 of us went last night and had a great time - staff were excellent, food was excellent with great portion sizes too, and ambience was perfect with background music but low enough to have a relaxed chat. I’d highly recommend the place and we’ll be going back for sure.
