Restaurants in Maidstone

FiFi's Brasserie

My friends and I go here for our brunches ALL the time, we have for years.We chose to do the drag brunch (we have done this many times)We can't fault the staff. The atmosphere was incredible as always. When booking we could see the food menu had changed.Not one of us in our party of seven enjoyed the food. It seemed like budget cash and carry food that was heated up. Some of our food was cold and took over an hour to come out.Such a shame as the food used to be really nice on the previous menu.Apart from the food, we had a brilliant time.

Namaste Nepalese Cuisine

EDIT: Food was a lot better tonight. Very much enjoyed just a little bit on the spicy side ?. Really grateful for the owner giving us a second chance to try the food. Thank you for your kindness. You are an amazing team.PREVIOUS VIEW: Walked past many times and thought I would try the food. We had takeout from the restaurant the restaurant looks stunning with the water displays. We had to wait a while but were happy to wait for food. Unfortunately I was disappointed with the food as it didn’t taste very nice at all even with 15% off for taking away food it wasn’t worth it at all. Most of it went in the bin.

Shamrat

Level above all your average Indian resturants and takeaway. Obviously take pride in good service and food. Food is like no other in terms of quality. new to Maidstone and won’t go anywhere else

Fields at Aylesford

Had a lovely family meal on 17/11/23. We had table service in the restaurant by Mark. Great service, food was delivered in a nice time especially with a hyperactive child! Mark was very polite and courteous towards her when she was sticking out her tongue and growling!Wasn't able to leave a tip as Mark handed the pay point to us and skipped the option to leave one. Definitely recommend the restaurant to others and especially Mark!

Beefeater Sir Thomas Wyatt

We ordered the steak sirloin and the ribs and they were reasonably priced especially considering that the ribs was a full rack. I was surprised on how delicious and tender steak was since it was excellently cooked without any sauces. Plus the accompanying sauces made it taste even better. For a restaurant attached to a hotel that we were staying, we weren't expecting anything but the food was quite good and we would come back or try another Beefeater location. Our server Leane was very friendly and we had a good conversation that was genuine.

Marinos Fish Bar HART STREET !! (LOCKMEDOW)

Best chippy around pensioner fish chips big portion best sausages service great friendly banter make you feel welcome lovely hot food good value well done guys lov3 cath

The Gurkha Kitchen

What a surprise this place is. Looks can be deceiving.It's located in a large mobile near the station, but the food was incredible. Meat was high quality and tasted amazing, cooked really well.Service was excellent, and very reasonably priced.Bit tight inside due to space, but if its not busy it's a great place to eat.Highly recommended.

Buenos Aires Nights Steakhouse - Maidstone

We came here last night as a family of six to celebrate my Dad's 60th birthday. We were impressed by the service and food. Staff were attentive and all 3 courses of each person's meal delicious, especially the steak, which was cooked to each person's liking. Thank you. We had a lovely time and will come back again.

La Villetta

Had a family birthday meal here. Food was just amazing ! Beautifully cooked and presented . Service also spot on. A gem of a restaurant down a street with plenty of other food options , but don’t pass this one by. We will definitely be

Kent Drinks Co.

Absolutely fantastic service! Served 22 women incredible cocktails for 5 hours including non alcoholic too. Would 100% use Kent Drinks Co again. Thank you ☺️

Cafe Beck

Absolutely love this cafe. You get nothing but fantastic customer service. The food is amazing, always nice and hot and I just love it there. You can relax. Have a nice chart. Yeah really great price and place to go. I highly recommend this place

Druids Arms

Stumbled across this pub on an unplanned stop off in Maidstone at lunch time today. What lovely, dog friendly place. We received a very warm welcome and great refreshments shame we don’t live close by!!!

The Kings Arms

We had a Sunday lunch for my daughter’s birthday. We had 6 adults & 2 children. The food is gorgeous, hot and delicious, very good portion sizes too. The service is excellent, nothing was too much trouble even when my grandchildren asked for a bowl of custard for dessert. The atmosphere is relaxed but busy. It is clearly a popular place to eat and socialise and it is very easy to see why.Vegetarian options: I had a lovely nut roast but there is an option for meat free chicken.

The Skull Bar

READ ME..... Well ordered here a few times now as working away. And just want to say thank you... That Mac n cheese was amazing ? the burgers are banging as always... The fries are good and also them cheese bites are good.. keep up the good work ?

Tandoor Mahal

Me and my girlfriend were visiting the area and we chose this restaurant because of the previous reviews and we both agree that this place is fabulous! The food was delicious and the staff were warm and friendly. We will definitely be visiting again when in Maidstone! If you want authentic Indian food, do not miss this restaurant…it’s been here for 49 years for a reason!

Bierkeller Maidstone

Absolutely brilliant oompah band, keeping the crowd entertained , lots of games , fab atmosphere. Staff were really friendly , toilet attendant was so polite and helpful .Would definitely go again .

Turqusine Grill Meze Turkish Restaurant

The 3 Course meal is just what it is, it's not a deal, the most you're saving is probably £1 - you get half the portion of Lamb Shish and half portions of the starter. Perfect if you're not hungry and want to stop for a snack.I tried the shish and mostly it was good, some pieces very chewy.So why 5 stars? The overall experience was as expected and does what it says well on the packet!

The Herbalist

Woooow!! Amazing service from start to finish. Amazing cocktails and fresh locally sourced home cooked food in a lovely setting! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had the fish pie and my partner had gammon egg and chips. You don't come across places like this often. If you are in Maidstone please give this place a visit ?

The Plough Langley

Excellent food and service.The children loved their burgers and ice cream, all the adults enjoyed their choices.Sharing sundae is a worthwhile solo-challenge ?Very nice to watch the food being prepared.

Vesuvius Restaurant

Great meal. Really enjoyed the desserts! Pistachio profiteroles were delicious. I think service could be a little quicker but staff were friendly, helpful and inviting.

Early Bird

Buffet for 30 for a wake. Good selection of food hot and cold including vegetarian and gluten free gests. Nice cream cakes. Including tea and coffee. Plenty left over and they provided containers to take away so it didn't go to waste. Would recommend.

Castle View Restaurant at Leeds Castle

Lovely view, helpful service and generally a nice meal, our only feeling was that the service could have been slightly more attentive, as there weren't many people in and we had to wait longer than we would expect between courses, but the staff themselves are lovely.

Delhi Spice

Quality food, excellent service great atmosphere, 2nd time I have dined here in 2 weeks and will certainly be looking to make it a hat trick very reasonably priced with the benefit of having a great choice of drinks as its joined with a

Giggling Squid - Maidstone

Really nice atmosphere and nicely decorated restaurant. Service was brilliant and the food was delicious and really well presented. Good sized portions and a good selection of both meat and vegetarian/vegan dishes.Would highly recommend the Isaan sharing platter.

Rockin Robin on the Green

Update 2023 June.Under new management again, Master brew £4.25. Have been informed they are getting Spitfire and a guest ale. Definitely a more enjoyable visit than my last visit. Staff nice and friendly. Not sure if they are going to do any food, this may put some people off.Update 2023 May.I was looking forward to a beer in the Rockin Robin after it's re-opening under new management, but it was closed even though it was advertised as open (issue with gas, not sure if it was heating gas or beer dispense gas) , will have to reduce my star rating until I have sampled the beer and the staff. The lower out side area was completely devoid of any seating or tables.2022Great place for a beer or two. This is like a real pub of 40 years ago.

The Tickled Trout

We had a lovely Monday night stay at this hotel.The food is incredible (dinner and breakfast) And the value for money is great. Lovely local sparkling wine!Staff are very attentive, rooms are clean and warm. Lovely stay. Thank youFood & drinks: Exception food and drink

Bearsted Fish Bar

Ordered from here online by mistake instead of our normal fish and chip shop. What a fantastic mistake. The food was very very good, really generous portions, fish was white and the batter light and crispy, could have eaten 2 of the kebabs

Thai Palace Restaurant - Authentic Thai Cuisine

Very nice Thai restaurant. It deserves the awards it's won. After looking online for a nice Thai restaurant I found that a lot of websites highly recommended Thai palace, so took a look at their website and menu and found that the food they had was what I was looking for at reasonable prices. I was able to book a table via their website which was great and good thing too as they are very popular so booking in advance is a must.We went there and didn't have to wait at all being greeted by a waitress and directed to our table.One thing I like about the service was that they didn't straight away all about ordering any drinks, but have is some time to sit and relax, and peruse the menu first (a lot of places straight away ask you what drink you want before you've fully sat down which is not a good experience). After taking our orders the food tasted very fresh and delicious, with the time between starter and main course being well placed. One extra thing I thought was very good was the drinks menu going off what was set. As I was driving so didn't want any alcohol they made me a mocktail to go with the cocktail my wife ordered even though there wasn't any provision for it on their menu. I thought that was a nice touch. I had the tempura prawns for starter, my wife having the vegetable option, which was delicious. The main I had a beef green curry with coconut rice which was equally as tasty, my wife having fried fish with vegetables which was also tasty. One thing which amazed me was how the food stayed hot for the duration of the meal and when initially presented. Not sure how they manage this, but even when I was having the last bite it was equally as hot as the start. This was amazing and great as it keeps the food very tasty with a lot of restaurants not having food at that temperature at the beginning of the meal nor last that long.5/5 for presentation and taste and they are well deserving of the status. I will definitely go back as I want to try another main on their menu which was the seafood.They also deliver, but I don't think I'd take up that option as seated dining was great.Vegetarian options: There were lots of vegetarian options available. One of which my wife had for a starter with tempura vegetables.

Maidstone Grill

Best takeaway in Maidstone after a few drinks. My friend didn't enjoy his burger and (without asking) the guys behind the counter gave him some Donner meat and chips for free. Very kind and unexpected gesture from these guys.

Kokoro Maidstone

First time to try this Japanese sushi takeaway shop last night, placed my order and waited for about 10 minutes then I got the hand made sushi. In general, fresh n decent, good portion and value for money. If I go back there again, I’ll try their hot food next time. ?

Shell

I was unlucky enough to break down near this garage, limped the vehicle to the forecourt to then spend two and a half hours waiting for a recovery truck. The ladies in the garage were welcoming, chatty and even offered me a coffee to help stay warm as it was cold outside in my now broken down vehicle. Thanks again for making a stressful situation that bit brighter.

Shell

Shell

Just parked up outside on a coach trip with several othersOn bust for 3 hours with no toiletsVery kind gentleman behind the counter allowed 7 of us to use the facilities

The Burrow

Pretty place, nice and cosy. It may be noisy at times but the atmosphere is good and the coffee is tasty. Could not find a plug for my laptop, but maybe I didn't look for it enough and, maybe, maybe there we a good reason for it not to be there.

Pret A Manger

Finally a clean bright well maintained cafe serving consistently high standard coffee and snacks. A welcome change compared to the dingy poorly maintained Nero \\u0026 Costa groups. Great ethos, helpful, efficient, queues minimised, free water provided \\u0026 clean cleared tables. Enjoyable. ?

Barming Fish and Chips

I only have fish and chips once in 6 or 8 weeks, and when I do, it has to be from Barming Fish and Chips. The quality of their food is just so-o-o good, its a real treat.I have tried several other Chippies in the area but they didn't come close to Barming's quality.Wheelchair accessibility: There's no step to negotiate

Cafe Riviera

What can I say…. This cafe is amazing .Popped in while walking past and ordered 2 set breakfasts and two cans of cherry coke.Our order was taken by a attentive waitress and when the food turned up it was just what we needed , not greasy and cooked to perfection.Keep up the good work cafe Riviera . Five ⭐️

Wimpy

Was so sad to see this place nearly empty. The only reason I have given 4 stars for the food is because they didn't have most of the desserts. But what they did have was lovely and was a nice meal that wasn't too expensive. Will definitely returnKid-friendliness: Nice choice for children and as one of them doesn't eat chips or beans, was given a lovely salad instead.

Pizza Express

Marc did a group pizza making experience for young people from the Links! Group at our Charity Involve. Marc was absolutely amazing, explaining to the young people how the pizza was made, the ingredients and giving them time and to answer questions, providing them with confidence to speak. It was an amazing experience for our young people and I would definitely recommend Marc. Lovely food and it was great that our young people were able to make their own pizzas.

Zizzi

Lovely catch up spot for friends and family. Food is always spot on and the interior design gives it a welcoming and high end feel. I would definitely recommend trying it out!Parking: Parking nearby in Fremlin Walk Car Park

Mughal Dynasty

What else I can add ?? Ohhh pilau rice is the best I ever tried ?I love food - worked in hospitality for 23 years and as a manager I had the privilege to learn about food & eat excellently ☺️Dietary restrictions: Nuts free menu.

Spice Hut

I have just finished my meal at the spice hut and there is no other words then to describe it then incredible. My family and I are regulars here and have never had a bad experience the staff are always lovely and the foods is always amazing would recommend to anyone in the area.

Starbucks

I use this store quite a lot, and was excited when it opened! But after a couple of years it’s definitely not as clean as it should be, and some of the staff making the coffees give attitude if you ask for anything.

Nando's Maidstone

Excellent service from Francisco soon as we entered felt very very welcome, ordered on the app nice and easy, food was so fresh and juicy definitely one off the better Nando's we have been to, the lad who took over the upstairs at 5pm so lovely and checked on us, Excellent experience!

Crown City

Went to the Elvis night last night with my family has the best night ever the food was great, the entertainer was fabulous and at the end of the night the manager came out with a glass of wine and partied with us ❤️❤️❤️ can’t wait for the next Elvis night in December I would highly recommend this

Tops Pizza

Always great but a delivery driver with a smile ? would be good. Also I love veg hot pizza but it comes with garlic sauce and I really need normal tomatos sauce but can't work out how to change this. Also to order thin base

Charcoal Grill

Food is always tasty and has, excellent portion sizes. Value for money and service with a smile. Second time we have used and will use again. Thank you.Parking: Free street parking, very limited.

New Lantern - Chinese

My wife and I always enjoy New Lantern as they dont put MSG in the food. They are lovely people on the phone and the food is brilliant. Not always on time but worth the wait in my opinion.

Market House

Such a warmth of welcome!!! Thank you. Attentive staff and def going back. My first time in there too... Christmas tree at the back looks beautiful it felt like home! With people you have known yet never met before ~ thank

Aunt Sally's Kitchen

I really cannot find anything bad to say about food, have always had a lovely meal and service is always good, so I have reflected this in my star rating.However, we have been using this establishment regularly for numerous months now and today’s service was poor-especially considering we are regular customers. Still charging full price for a full jacket potato when it was only half (kids portion) is not right. It’s a shame you decided this was the right way to go about things, as you’ve now lost 4 regular customers. This was a greedy decision and with the prices as they are currently, you will end up pricing yourself out! Shame, as always used to be a little gem.

Maidstone Best Kebab

Stopped off for dinner as in the area ordered a mixed kebab to takeaway lamb Donner and chicken. Was pleasantly surprised with the quality and flavour of the Donner.The staff are friendly and helpful. Best feature of all though is everything sold is Halal.

Coach House Maidstone

Saw a brilliant band here 'Brothers from another cover' on a Friday evening. The venue is very nicely decorated with a great vibe. It felt very homely and everyone engaged with the band. Being on the edge of town, it tends to appeal more for people wanting to have fun without necessarily looking to get blind drunk before moving on to the club.

The Good Intent Ltd

We went to the good intent as its local to where my daughter lives. We were not disappointed the waitresses were attentive, and the roast dinner was lovely and the children cleared their plates.

Meet Me Cafe

Called in with a friend for a pot of tea when we were shopping in Maidstone. I chose a cheese and ham baked potato, and my friend got a cheese and ham omelette. The were really nice, the service was friendly and we felt genuinely welcome. We both intend to return the next time we are in town.There are a couple of steps up from the pavement, though.

Newnham Court Inn - Pub & Grill

I recently celebrated my 21st here, with my whole family coming together. It was truly lovely. We had a whole private room of tables, pictures and a TV for ourselves. There were enough seats for all of us, our drinks and our selected food all came out right and on time. My food was delicious, my beer was refreshing. We were all happy, and I had an amazing night being with my loved ones. They really made me feel special and my 21st celebration special. If you're trying to find somewhere to celebrate your 21st, or if you just want a nice place to have dinner. Come here!

Bearsted Spice Indian Takeaway Maidstone

The bill counter person was very professional and welcomed with sweet smile. He had given me a discount on the total bill without asking. The food was delicious and well packed.

Super Pizza

So we ordered on deliveroo, I don't think the order was seen, called up an hour later, person on the phone apologised and order was here within 45 minutes, hot and fresh with a free bottle of coke, very good at fixing any mistakes and food was amazing, very big portions ❤️

Chopstix Noodle Bar

Tastes nice and they give you a lot but I'm not really sure how to explain it, but the food feels cheap. If cheap-feeling foods aren't your thing then you might not like it here.

The Society Rooms - JD Wetherspoon

It deserves 5* because of the prompt and cheerful service. Okay, the food may not be of top quality but for what they charge it's good. Ideal place to meet family and their kids during the day.

Coxheath Spice

Husband and I often visit here and we always enjoy it. The food is great and the service is above and beyond. Always happy to swap items or make a dish how you would like it. So friendly and chatty. Just a great atmosphere! Will return time and time again!

Five Guys Maidstone

Five Guys in Maidstone is a burger haven that deserves a solid 5 stars! The highlight? Their explosively yummy milkshakes. These creamy concoctions are a sheer delight, bursting with flavor and made to perfection. The burger options are equally impressive, offering endless customization to cater to every taste bud. The laid-back ambiance and friendly staff create a comfortable dining experience. While the prices might be a tad higher, the quality and taste are well worth it. Don't miss out on the mouthwatering milkshakes – they're truly a treat for your taste buds!

The Chequers Fish Bar

Had a lovely Kebab and cooked breakfast here today. Great food and a great atmosphere, friendly service by a young lady who served us. Definitely reccomend.Parking: Parking in the square.
