Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

So disappointed with my visit today. Went under recommendations online and I left feeling gutted after shelling out nearly £100 for lunch. The mixed shish was described as a skewer of each meat, when it came over I had 4 tiny cubes of meat. It...wasn’t even half of a skewer let alone two! When I saw how tiny the portions were (after seeing some reviews that portions are big) I decided I best order a portion of chips between the 4 of us (myself and my 12 year and two 15 year olds) It came over and was the smallest little portion of fries £3.00. I appreciate the cost of living has gone up but it’s not right to overcharge for such tiny portions. We paid a service charge of £8.99 even though the service wasn’t very good, waiter wasn’t friendly at all. It was only us and another table there for lunch so it wasn’t busy enough for them to not make the effort. Didn’t feel welcome. I’m gutted that I splashed out for my sons birthday and left feeling deflated that I’d wasted money I didn’t have but wanted him to enjoy his birthday so saved up for this occasion. See photos below baring in my this was my daughters plate who actually had the biggest pieces of meat out of all of us, and still tiny as you can see. I will not be returning.More

This was a takeaway. The food is delicious and the amount is impressive. There are good vegetarian options so suitable for all in the family. Just one thing to note it is best to order directly from the restaurant DO NOT order through Just Eat...as the food didn’t arrive and they are difficult to contact I paid for the undelivered takeaway and then the food from the restaurant and haven’t had any confirmation from Just Eat that I will get a refund I could have had an excellent meal in central London for £100, but hopefully I will eventually get my refund! I repeat use Just Eat at your own risk and I would not advise, despite having done so many times. If they were easier to contact I’d say risk it but it is quite hopeless when you haven’t got your food and cannot contact the company.More

Nice food however main dishes have way too much rice and couscous and not enough meat. I ordered the mixed kebab. It was tasty but Kofte had some small bone particles in it. Salad and olives where great. Shame you cant just order the skewers...and just add a small rice to it!More

Fantastic experience. Food was delicious and you could tell a lot of care went into it! The Sucuk (starter) and Guvec (main) - which is essentially a Turkish chicken casserole - I would definitely recommend. These were well priced considering the quality and generous portion...sizes. We went as a party of 11 with varying ages and the staff did very well to accommodate for us so well. The interior and décor of the place is very pleasing on the eye and definitely adds to the experience!More

Second time I have been here, this visit we were very disappointed, we arrived and was fairly empty, the waiter took our drink order but then forgot to bring them over. The restaurant started getting busy, the main course was lovely. However we were not...asked if we wanted another drink, there was a huge crowd that came in and there were no waiters spare. I ordered a crème brûlée , omg it was microwaved and soggy top, I did not eat it and I did mention this to the waiter eventually, it was removed from bill. Would go back but on a quieter night as I feel there was not enough staffMore

Eaten in a few times now over the years. some times as a couple, sometimes as a family, week nights & weekends. Sometimes we just pop in for a takeaway. Never disappointed by the tasty food or friendly staff. Lovely clean and spacious restaurant to...enjoy a meal in. Authentic flavours and dishes.More

Not only is the food 11/10, but the service is second to none. We ordered the lamb chops and ribs which were some of the best I've eaten locally. Also we asked for a slight dish change and that was accommodated with no problem. The...staff are very welcoming and serve with grace, they can't do enough for you. Our waiter was Yusuf and he was the perfect host. If you live in Chelmsford and have not tried this place, get booking and if you live further out, book a cab and get to Blaze for a great night.More

Very disappointed. Rude waiter made us feel very uncomfortable. Would have spent much more but just wanted to finish up and get out of there. Wouldn't go back.

The WORST SERVICE, THE WORST FOOD, THE WORST RESTAURANT I CHELMSFORD!!!! I booked online for a takeaway the website at the time did not have a notice that it was a collection order only, it allowed me to select delivery, however the email confirmation i...received stated collection. I rang the restaurant to highlight the issue, i was met with ridicule and insults by the manager. I reminded the manager i was a repeat customer having spent well over £40 on take aways. The manager was incredibly angry, continuing to shout at me that i was would not receive a refund furthermore that the very food i had paid for will be put in the bin then abruptly hung up on me. I managed to make my way to the restaurant to collect the food i had paid for. I didn't get a warm welcome, the restaurant wasn't busy, you would think that the restaurant would be ensuring that customers are met with warm friendly staff but not The Blaze. I will never eat or recommend this restaurant. The food smelt weird, it was coldMore

Visited here last weekend for the 1st time. Nice table by the window, food very nice chilli sauce exceptional had a great kick. I had salmon, very large portion size and tasted great. All in all a very nice meal! Reason for not 5 star...- 1st impressions not great when there are letters missing from the front signage. Wasn’t asked to taste the wine it was just poured straight away! The waiters never refilled my wine glass, when we are paying service charge we do expect the service.More

I had not been to a Turkish restaurant before, and this was a great introduction. Be hungry, as the portions are generous. Once they recognise a returning customer, you are welcomed very warmly.

I know prices have increased dramatically but I expected better than I got for £26 when I ordered a monk fish kebab. The fish did not seem that fresh - rather dry and not very tasty. The service however was impeccable - but that did...not make up for the very average. food. Other local Turkish restaurants will get my custom in futureMore
