Restaurants in Maidstone

Shamrat

Lovely restaurant, lovely food & lovely staff. We visited for a family meal & thoroughly enjoyed it, the best food I have tasted & we were very well looked after. We will definitely be back!

Mughal Dynasty

Absolutely phenomenal! This curry house exceeded all my expectations. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the service was impeccable, and the food was out of this world. Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic flavors and perfectly spiced. The chicken tikka masala was a standout, rich and creamy with just the right amount of heat. The naan was fresh and fluffy, perfect for sopping up the delicious sauces. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure our experience was nothing short of perfect. This is hands down the best curry house I have ever visited. Highly recommend!

Namaste Nepalese Cuisine

Been meaning to try this place for ages and so glad we did. I went last night with 3 x friends with no reservation on the off chance to get a table. They managed to squeeze us in and we then enjoyed an incredible dining experience. We left it down to the waiter to prepare us 4 x starters and 4 x Mains with all different rices and naan breads and every single dish had its own element of beautiful flavour and taste. Super super happy and will be returning very soon. Thank you guys

The Skull Bar

Always a great experience going to the Skull Bar. Great food and drinks with a great welcoming atmosphere. Have been with many groups for different occasions and all have been a great experience that everyone has enjoyed. Always looking forward to the next visit.

The Kings Arms

Went to The King's Arms today for a roast dinner.... it was hands down the best roast I've had in a pub, possibly ever!

Firstly, the pub is dog friendly, ? which is a must for me.
I was greeted in the carpark by a lovely chap who helped find me a parking space, then took me to our table.

I had roast beef.... everything (and I mean everything) on the plate was cooked perfectly! Crunchy yet fluffy potatoes, everything seasoned well, all veg had a slight crunch to them... spot on!

I had the crumble and ice cream for dessert... also beautiful.
Service was great, lovely wine. Five stars ? ???? from me!

La Villetta

Honestly, one of the best meals that I’ve had in a long time truly authentic all made in house coming from a picky Chef who’s never happy this was absolutely fantastic. Can’t wait to go back.

Tandoor Mahal

Fantastic food and service. Came as part of a large group and had the set menu. Great variety of food and generous portions. Definitely worth a visit if you want great Indian food.

Vesuvius Restaurant

Italian restaurant in Maidstone,Kent.
The food is good,authentic Italian fare. They were around three quarters full and throughout my stay I only heard positive comments about the food.
The waiting staff are not really very attentive. No one checked back to see if the food was ok nor did anyone ask if I wanted any more drinks. In the end I had to ask. That said they were all polite.
Food came to the table within 15 minutes and was hot and tasty.
Food prices are moderate, no at pizzas are around £15 for example but are big enough to share.
The restaurant has toilets and the one I used was clean.
Disabled access is ok , some areas of the restaurant would be a little too tight to accommodate a wheelchair but there are a few tables that would be ok.
There is no parking outside but a paid,council run car park is no more than a five minute walk away

Vegetarian options: There are also vegan options on the menu. Some meals that contain meat can be changed to a vegetarian option

Parking: Paid parking lot within a five minute walk

Kid-friendliness: There is an option to have a child sized portion of various dishes on the main menu

Wheelchair accessibility: It is possible

Bierkeller Maidstone

Big spacious place…. The atmosphere was very nice… … the Dj was polite, they have lots of entertainment games related with music with some prices for the winners … food was not good my sausage was old, the bread was dry andthe fries were cold… service was good …toilets were clean .. you can pay with card or cash before ordering.

Druids Arms

Good place for live music on Fridays evening with your drinks. The food is also decent. They have the crispy onion rings. They have lunch menu options on weekdays which is a saver.

The Herbalist

Didn't have food but have eaten at other elite pubs and it's always been top notch. Fantastic menu, caters for everyone, doesn't limit people dietary requirements.

We came for cocktails and visited junipers, first time going to the downstairs bar. It's a gorgeous cocktail list. As someone who's tee-total it's very nice to be given the option of a good range of mocktails which aren't just juice and lemonade! Zero spirits used properly. The non alcoholic beer selection is wicked as well with plenty of bottles and lucky saints on tap in the herbalist if you want a proper pint

Would defo recommend

The Tickled Trout

Went for a quiet Wednesday evening date night and what can I say.. the best service and food I’ve had in a very long time! Even down to the apple juice clearly being locally sourced! We ordered lots of seafood which is so easily done wrong, but the chef produced fresh, tender and perfectly seasoned food. Don’t be put off by the small menu, the chef has perfected his craft within those dishes.. 10/10! And also Great value!

Fields at Aylesford

Very pleasant lunch, with 10 month old! Menu good, perhaps a bit overpriced, but good selection. Lighter lunch menu could be expanded a little. Our waiter was lovely.

Thai Palace Restaurant - Authentic Thai Cuisine

A wonderful evening, our train was cancelled and so we were late but the wonderful staff still welcomed us and accommodated us, we didn’t feel rushed at all! The food was absolutely gorgeous and Sai was so attentive and friendly, nothing is to much trouble, such an amazing service. Can’t recommend enough!!

We wholeheartedly recommend The Early Bird for any event, big or small and we'll certainly be going back again.

Thai Orchid Maidstone

Celebrating a milestone birthday in style at Thai Orchid
Thai Orchid provided the perfect backdrop for my uncles 40th birthday celebration. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for a memorable evening. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special, catering to our every need with genuine smiles.

The food was simply outstanding. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with authentic Thai flavors that tantalized our taste buds. We opted for the set menu, which offered a delightful journey through a variety of culinary delights.

Harvester Running Horse Maidstone

Dropped in one evening on the way home from a day out. The staff were friendly. Well stocked salad bar. Everything was well presented and clean. We were greeted and seated quickly. I had battered Halloumi and chips. Freshly cooked and hot.My friend had chicken burger and she said it was lovely. Large menu choices, I believe there something for everyone. Great place for families. Good parking area .Highly recommend

Vegetarian options: Lots to choose from. Every section of the menu had a vegetarian option from, pizza, burger, pasta. To many to list

Dietary restrictions: Everything is clearly labelled on the menu.

Parking: A reasonable amount of parking spaces, but it does get busy.

Kid-friendliness: Great choices for kids. The salad bar is brilliant. All kids love to take a bowl and decide for themselves what they want to eat. They feel grown up going up by themselves to choose.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps. Flat car park and no steps into the venue.

The Black Horse

Food is really delicious - loaded fries & crispy thin fresh homemade pizzas are fab! Friendly welcoming service and good crowd/customers. Just be lovely if they gave the garden a little tidy/spruce up to make it a really lovely peaceful place to enjoy to amazing grub!

Turqusine Grill Meze Turkish Restaurant

Great food, excellent price cos it was a groupon, fantastic service from Sezer. Spot on. You won’t be disappointed. It was a 6.30 booking, so pretty quiet, as expected.

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

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

Kings Head

I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at The King’s Head upstairs in the Ikkadu room. It is the perfect space for a small function or private dining experience and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Every aspect of our event was perfect, from the food to the service and Zak was even kind enough to set up a screen so the kids could watch the England rugby match! Thank you Zak and the team for another hugely enjoyable meal at the King’s!

The Rifle Volunteers

Good olde fashioned English pub atmosphere. Highly recommended if you like Goachers ales……
No juke box just good old conversation.
Lovely garden. Too.

The Cock Horse Inn

Brilliant service and a lifesaver at the end of my day doing the next stage of the North Downs Way. Refilled my bottle for free when I was in desperate need of hydrating.

Little Fant Farm

We always have a lovely time at the farm! The staff are all wonderful and Rose led a lovely session a few weeks ago when we came for my daughter’s 2nd birthday.

The Good Intent Ltd

Excellent pub, great atmosphere, lovely people, kind and caring. Play park on the green opposite with benches for a nice summer drink, cosy fire for the winter months, pool table, dart board and juke box for entertainment.

Saw another review on here regarding a customer coming in with a hedgehog, and I would like to state that the facts in the review are untrue as I was in the pub that night and witnessed the encounter. The pub does welcome animals and countless dogs are in here as there are so many dog walkers that come past and stop in for a nice drink!

Ockys Caribbean Kitchen Maidstone

Absolutley brilliant!!
Best jerk chicken around, the whole meal was so nice. Delivered to me with seemless contact, easy going to order and lovely customer service.
Will definitley order from ocky again and will 1000000% recommend to anyone to order from him!

Hare and Hounds

Match day, looking for a quick pint before kick off. Found this little gem of a pub. Great pint, great people, even spoke to a couple of very nice home supporters. This would definitely be my local.

the victory

We stopped in here for a drink as we had walked from Teston, they had just opened and the guy behind the bar welcomed us and was friendly. I had a half fosters and my friend had a John Smiths both very nice, thank you.

Decent beer garden with benches and a big shady tree that we were really grateful for as it was SO hot today. Will definitely pop in there again when we are over that way.

wagamama maidstone

Fantastic for veggie and vegan food. Massive selection for plant-based food.

Service is slow. Although they do let you know when you sit down that food comes out whenever and not together.

On a few occasions I have finished my food or waited for my partners to turn upon and mine has gone stone cold. This has ruined the evening.

All the food is very flavourful.

The Swan Inn

Quiet little pub , great pizza menu, all cooked fresh, a selection of drinks on draught, the interior is somewhat outdated but maybe adds to the charm of the place ? A proper old school boozer

Chiltern Hundreds

Lovely food and excellent service, I got a free bottle of wine and also pudding for my birthday which was brought out with a candle on it, was so cute and delicious!

Me and my family have been coming here for generations and will never stop absolutely beautiful little pub!

The Yew Tree - Sandling

New owners!
Inside has been modernised, and there is a nicer vibe throughout.
Went on a Sunday and had a roast and it was the best roast I've had at a pub. The roast pots were to die for. Wine was also delightful. Would recommend!!

Walnut Tree

A loverly old period pub with amazing food and great service.

Parking: Huge car park.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to main door.

The Burrow

Fab tearoom! Very clean, and ample room for wheelchair access. Friendly and accommodating staff. The menu is comprehensive and the food is amazing! So much more than a tea room… highly recommend a visit.

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

Spice Hut

No photos as needed to eat. Excellent food and service. Not rushed as this is what we like. Highly recommend.. hubby loved the chicken shashlik. Cooked to perfection ? ?

Zizzi

Food was absolutely lovely - it’s been about a year since I visited and you guys have really upped your game on the food choices - menu was incredible for vegetarians - literally all my favourite meals on there… however absolute 5 star shout out to Fraser for EXCEPTIONAL service - love his attention to detail - made our evening an absolute pleasure and will definitely be choosing Zizzis as a Maidstone go to ! Thank you so much - keep up the awesome job! Charlotte. X

Vegetarian options: Loads of vegi and vegan options

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. ?

Wimpy

Maidstone Wimpy has had a revamp, and it's looking good!

The food tastes the same as it always has, and the staff are friendly and efficient.

Now, if you are in your 50s, go in and re-live your youth. Same atmosphere, same good and 80's music playing. Wonderful, loved it.

Pizza Express

Had my daughter bd party today
What a wonderful and unique experience
The kids loved making pizza and they loved every minute
I didn't need to lift a finger. Everything was organised for us and it was well organised and throughout from booking to the end the communication was A1

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.

Marino Fish Bar - Bearsted

Picked up some extra crispy chips ( on request today) and was not disappointed. We'll done but not too oily , good portion and very friendly staff. Highly recommend

Charcoal Grill

First time ordering from Charcoal Grill.
Ordered the Chicken Donner Kebab and Mixed Chicken & Donner Kebab. Tried with garlic and chilly sauce.
Both kebabs tasted good and the sauces were ok.
Will order again

kalaRED Oriental bar | Chinese restaurant | Takeaway Delivery

To be honest I'd had quite a bit to drink by the time we got here. From what I remember the staff served the drinks quickly and we're friendly with it. Location was good

Nando's Maidstone

Great friendly service .. food tasty as always ... The place is clean and tidy ... The little takeaway window (deliveroo, ubereats, justeat) is a neat idea ... Overall superb experience ...

Crown City

We came in for the Sunday buffet and had a lovely time. The place was busy, but only reassuringly so. Staff were kind and attentive, and took good care of my wife who has specific but severe allergies.

There were some families there with young kids so it got a bit loud from them at times, but you can't really fault them for that, and the staff weren't afraid to (politely) ask them to quite down, which they did for the most part.

The buffet experience was different to most places; they simply allow you to order rounds of food of a highly varied menu, as many times as you want. This format actually ended up making more sense than the usual free-for-all, and I'm convinced now it's the better way. The food was quick and so wonderfully fresh, crispy and hot. The portions were reasonable, and we were safe in the knowledge we could order more if wanted. This ultimately led to a much better dining experience and basically no food waste.

Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who likes either a wide assortment or a high volume of outstanding Chinese food. Truly a Succulent Chinese Meal for the ages.

P.s. even if you don't usually go for tofu, take this opportunity to try the fried bean curd. Easily the best thing I had today, I will dream of it tonight.

Dietary restrictions: My wife has a fairly severe fish/seafood allergy. The staff took it seriously and made recommendations on what she could or could not have, and made concessions where they could. She couldn't eat everything, but she loved what she had and could eat it safely.

New Lantern - Chinese

First time ordering, and I did so via Just Eat. Showed as 1 hour to deliver, arrived in 25 minutes! Food was hot, freshly cooked, and frankly quite delicious! Will most definitely be ordering again.

La Taberna

Wow, what a fabulous place. Delightful staff - service without a whisper of need. Had seconds of almost every dish because everything was so delicious and we were celebrating so .... we absolutely loved it and will definitely return. Thanks so much for the happy birthday at the end [you know who I am now] that was lovely and generous. See you again, Sam

Patisserie Valerie

The staff coped wonderfully with my Brownie group last Saturday 20 girls and three adults. The staff made us very welcome and the girls loved their cakes. Thank you to everyone there.

A & Z Fisheries

The best fish & chips I've had for a long time, slightly cheaper than others. So tasty, fish delicious with amazing batter. Chips long, thick & yummy. Definitely worth a visit any time of day, cooked freshly as you wait, well worth it. Few parking spaces out front, chairs inside for waiting which at most is 15 mins, but fine because the taste is sensational ?

Atilla Kebab House

Best lamb donner kebab , love the garlic sauce and good amount of salad comes in .... I tried before was not that good but under this newww management it's

Shepway Grill

If you’ve tried the likes of Dixy and PFC etc, you will love this place. Amazing chicken and donner as well. The naga kebab is 100% for those who like a bit of spice!

McDonald's Chequers

Food is always fresh and hot but just because service is usually extra slow - around 20-25 minutes waiting time sometimes for one single Happy Meal and it wasn't the busiest time of the day ? also seats are not always available...

Costa Coffee Roadchef Maidstone

My husband and I had the lovely frappes and one of the staff members was extremely helpful in checking which flavours/ingredients were vegan friendly. Unfortunately I couldn’t catch her name on the badge but she even remembered us on the back and we had frappes again! Thank you so much for catering for our diets.

Walnut Tree Loose

Such a lovely pub. I was passing through Kent and randomly ended up here. The staff are amazing, the regulars are lovely. Had such a great time at the Karaoke night. If I lived local, this would be my pub of choice.

Market House

We've visited so many times over the past few years, and it never disappoints. My wife, daughter, and I enjoyed an incredible roast dinner.
The staff here are always welcoming and go above and beyond to ensure a great experience. The warm atmosphere and consistently excellent food keep us coming back. A big thank you to the wonderful team.

Super Pizza

If you are looking for affordable and delicious pizzas, this place is ideal for you. Honestly, I have been ordering from this place for quite some time now, but I never had any issues.

Aunt Sally's Kitchen

Aunt Sally's Kitchen provided afternoon tea for our daughter's small Garden Party. The food, presentation, and freshness was perfection and enjoyed by everyone there. It was even gratefully delivered to our home which was so helpful on a busy morning. Very highly recommended. Thank you Aunt Sally's.

Maidstone Best Kebab

I had an exceptional experience at Maidstone Best Kebab! The kebabs were perfectly seasoned and grilled to juicy perfection. The mixed platter offered a delightful variety, complemented by fresh naan and vibrant salads. The cozy ambiance and friendly, attentive staff made the visit even more enjoyable. It’s clear that [Kebab Shop Name] takes great pride in their food and service. This is now my go-to spot for delicious, authentic kebabs. Highly recommended!

The Black Horse

With free darts upstairs as well as a lovely place outside, I'll have to be back here again!!

Would highly recommend going if you haven't been before.

Taksim Mezze Grill (Maidstone)

Really great take away! First time we have used and will most definitely be back (soon) Loved that the kebabs came with rice. The salad boxes are deceiving too, plentiful and fresh.

Coach House Maidstone

Cracking pub, great food, lovely beer garden with a heated (if needed) sheltered area to sit and relax. Staff are welcoming and always friendly and the hospitality is first class!! Would highly recommend to everyone!!

Newnham Court Inn - Pub & Grill

Despite looking shabby outside, we had chicken and bacon ciabatta which was very nice, hot and full of filling. We were there just after 11.30 so it was very quiet.

Greggs

Stopped by Gregg's twice yesterday to grab some food. Tried the sausage rolls. Very good!!! The food is hot, good tasting, pastry is lite and flaky. Plus it's reasonably priced!! Staff was friendly and suggested items. Stop by and grab a roll!!

The White Horse

Have come to a 70th Birthday party this evening at The White Horse in Maidstone Kent. Amazing pub and very helpful. Also have a amazing pint of Guinness. It tastes just as good as a pint of Guinness in pubs in Ireland ????

Bakers + Baristas

Absolutely fantastic service, not just for my custom but notice very good custom for other customers. The food was really nice and there coffee is spot on. Brilliant bunch of staff and very helpful.

Fishermans Arms

Love this little pub. A real old school traditional boozer. Enjoyed using a real juke box and was really impressed by the range feminine hygiene products in the ladies. Very thoughtful.

Meet Me Cafe

Tried the Polish zapiekanka, highly recommend it. It was delicious and the size was very good for its price. Also, I tried a few drinks and all fulfilled my expectations, absolutely delicious! The seating was comfortable, and the setting looked quite nice. I will for sure come here again.

Social Chill Bar

Naughty and sleazy, love it! Good drink selection, opens later than most others, and occasionally home to beautiful curly-haired blonde dancing goddesses.. you know who u R xx
