Restaurants in Maidstone

Namaste Nepalese Cuisine

The food we tasted this evening was superb could not fault anything even my 10 year old son said how much he enjoyed the selection of dishes. As a chef myself I really appreciate good food and this really hit the spot. The service was 10 out of 10 and the owner couldn’t do enough to accommodate our family. I cannot wait to return again

Shamrat

Another outstanding evening with excellent food and service. Not many establishments seem to appreciate your business nowadays, but the Shamrat excels in making you feel welcome and valued. Thank you Lee and staff for another wonderful evening.

Fields at Aylesford

My first visit and I wasn't disappointed. Nice atmosphere, good food and excellent service. Great place to take children there is an outdoor play area. I will definitely go

FiFi's Brasserie

Went on a Sunday for the roast, great atmosphere and the service was spot on - food quality very good and lots of it! Will definitley be back again soon, very reasonably priced too ?

La Villetta

Great food and excellent service! It's a cozy but decent Italian restaurant. We do love all the dishes, especially the lamb stew, it's tender and delicious. Thumbs up! We absolutely will come back and highly recommend it.

The Skull Bar

While walking through Maidstone with my wife and child we came upon a sign enticing us into the arcade. As we approached The Skull Bar the smells of big meaty (?) burgers and the sounds of the heaviest of metal drew us ever closer. 10/10 would smash...again.

The Kings Arms

Great for gluten free dining. They have gluten free menu. Great quality of food. Customer service is at the top. Prices are reasonable and they have great drinks to choose from. It is children friendly with a little playground in the back garden. Definitely a must try if you are in the area. They open at 12 every day.Dietary restrictions: Separate gluten free menu with numerous starters, main and dessert options.Kid-friendliness: Separate playground in the back garden.

The Plough Langley

Family owned pub with friendly staff, a beer garden in the front and a decent car park.

Greek Taverna Artemis

Amazing restaurant fresh and cooked perfectly inguna (forgive me if spelt wrong) was a wonderful host and really looked after us.Love the new cocktail menu aswell.Great value for money with a fantastic menu we will definately be back soon.

7 MILES Korean & Chinese Cuisine

This was our first Korean dining experience and it was fantastic! Superb host, who guided us through the menu brilliantly. Food was served quickly, hot and absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend!

Super Pizza

If I want to have a take away pizza, I go to this place. The pizzas are always so delicious and I love that they go up to an 18" which is great for when we have friends over. The delivery is always on time and the delivery guys are always really nice. Never had a bad order from

The Herbalist

Great place ,I really enjoyed the cocktails! The food was delicious and delivered in good time ,I didn't feel we was waiting too long. We couldn't fit in a pudding (which is surprising for me because I'm a pig !) ,but they did look delicious!They have a great selection of cocktails ?, the only downfall for me was it was very noisy ,but that's what you get in a large restaurant....I just find it quite alot and of you are someone who struggles with that you may want to request a quieter spot in the corner or something

Tandoor Mahal

Have been here several times. Latest being 30th Dec 23. We had a party of 5 blokes and the staff/boss couldn't of been any nicer. Always happy to help, great food as well. Highly recommend. Chicken Naga was great BTW.

Marinos Fish Bar HART STREET !! (LOCKMEDOW)

The best fish and chips by far in Maidstone, first time a couple of weeks ago, and I won’t be going anywhere else from now on I had cod and chips my daughter had burger and chips both very nice would definately recommend.

Druids Arms

1st time we visited.Amazing place, really friendly. The awesome live band played in the courtyard too. It really made the night special.Great wide selection of beers wines and spirits. The crowd seemed much older and fun. The punters were all friendly an we had a chat with a dude who was well into his Ska music about music while we quaffed bottles of Argentine Malbec from proper wine glasses.The band was well awesome and rocked us all with some pretty awesome covers.Great fun place to chill out on a Saturday night. 1000/1000 from us.

The Gurkha Kitchen

During my recent visit to Gurkha Chicken, I had an excellent experience. I was excited to try Nepali dishes for the first time and was not disappointed.The Peshwari Naan was a standout dish and a clear winner over regular Naan. The combination of sweetness and spiciness was perfect and it was baked to perfection.The Veg Samoosa (set of 3) was delicious and the sauce that came with it was marvellous. The Samoosas were small but filled me up, and the filling was perfectly spiced.The Mushroom Rice was really good, with the rice cooked to perfection and the mushroom adding a subtle flavour. The Jalfrezi Chicken was also good, but not as great as the other dishes. The curry was sufficient to eat for two people, but the flavour was not as bold as I had hoped.Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with my meal at Gurkha Chicken and will surely recommend this place to friends and family.Vegetarian options: Samoosa, peshwari naan,

Vesuvius Restaurant

?️ Just dropped by Vesuvius Restaurant and here's the lowdown:- ?? Ambiance: Stepping into Vesuvius is like a time travel to old-school Italy. Everything has a really vintage touch. It’s not exactly my cup of tea as I lean towards more modern settings, but it's got character!- ? Service: Had a bit of an odd experience. The waitress seemed a tad unsure, not even asking for our booking name. Made me wonder why we booked in the first place.- ? Food: The garlic breadsticks came in a packet, which was unexpected. I reckon serving them out of the packet might add a touch of freshness! The menu choices and the dishes themselves were a bit basic for my taste. However, the roast potatoes were a hit - not sure how Italian they are, but delicious nonetheless! Tried a bit of the carbonara and found it a bit bland.- ? Overall Vibe: The place was buzzing for a Friday night, which was nice to see. ⭐⭐⭐⭐It didn't quite hit the spot for me, and while I might not head back on my own initiative, I'm open to giving it another go if someone else is keen.

Maidstone Grill

Thank you for the delicious kebabs!Fresh, tasty, We felt Really well after.Definitley recommendThose guys are clean, tidy and serve Great Food. Homemade garlic sauce and chilli sauce. Nice!!!Well Done

Buenos Aires Nights Steakhouse - Maidstone

Great food, tables are a bit small and cramped, you can eat and have a drink but you can't stay and enjoy the company your with as you only get an hour and half to have a 3 course

Early Bird

Classic Margherita is mouthwatering homemade pizza!Loaded potato skins are very crispy & yummy.Spicy chicken wings are delicious.The classic cheese burger is great & fantastic!Both Beef and Guinness stew and Glazed pork jelly are tender and juicy!

Turqusine Grill Meze Turkish Restaurant

Lovely food, lovely service, not a lot of people so that's a pro and a con, but overall amazing! 3 course meal for £12 and our group got bread and some free starters on the house!

Beefeater Sir Thomas Wyatt

After spending 2 weeks working away from home, it was brilliant to finally stay in a place that was, not only comfy, but served good food.The staff are a little bit ugly but more than make up for it with their hospitality and welcome.The food!!Even if youre not staying in the hotel, its worth a visit for the fish and chips.10/10Beer is reasonably priced. No complaints.If youre ever heading to Dover and need a pit stop then check this place out.

Giggling Squid - Maidstone

Lovely food, particularly the delicious pork belly starter! Szilard the waiter was a credit to the restaurant, friendly and chatty. amazing experience all in all

Thai Palace Restaurant - Authentic Thai Cuisine

Excellent food, great service. Good vegetarian options and able to accommodate anyone's level of hot spice or not.Vegetarian options: We went for the vegetarian set menu which was delicious.

Delhi Spice

This month, we visited Delhi Spice in Bearsted. Notably, Delhi Spice isn't just an Indian restaurant; it's also seamlessly connected to The Rose Inn pub, which was bustling with energy on a Thursday night.The restaurant's ambiance distinguishes it from other curry houses we've visited. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff and ushered into a space that beautifully combines Indian charm with the lively atmosphere of a pub. It truly offers the best of both worlds.The menu features a variety of classic Indian curries alongside enticing specials. Intrigued by the description of “simply order & be surprised,” we couldn't resist ordering The Delhi Spice Special, which ended up being the highlight of the night. While all the dishes were well-prepared and presented, the Spicy Chicken Tikka Masala fell short of our expectations in terms of depth and flavour.Overall, it was a great meal and evening, especially for a Thursday. If you find yourself in Bearsted craving good Indian food and a vibrant atmosphere, Delhi Spice/The Rose Inn is the place to go.Rating: 4.7 out of 6Six Poppadoms Please#6PP

The Tickled Trout

Popped in as we do for spot of lunch, Staff extremely friendly and polite service could not be faulted. The food was as we have come to expect, everything hit the right spot. Thank you for your diligence today. Margaret & Roger.Food & drinks: On the right day dinning outside is second to none, roll on summer.

Lovely food , we had the sharing platter for 2 which was a mixture of different meats and rice and Bulger wheat . So much for 2 people ended up taking some home . Highly

Harvester Running Horse Maidstone

Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious.Our group was served by Penny, who was very approachable, friendly and provided us excellent service. Would definitely return.

Castle View Restaurant at Leeds Castle

Beautiful food from the evening dinner menu - the glazed pork belly was especially excellent - and great service, all in view of the floodlit Leeds Castle. One of our party was coeliac, and was well catered for. Very reasonably priced considering the quality.Very nice breakfast in the morning too, particularly the full English, and the Eggs Royale. Good choice of cereals, juices, beverages and croissants.Vegetarian options: Excellent butternut squash risotto, and pasta choices.Dietary restrictions: Caters for gluten free.Wheelchair accessibility: Stairlift for wheelchair users.

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

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

Little Fant Farm

We came here for Easter at the weekend. With my mum and 4 year old daughter. It’s small, it’s quaint and super friendly. Tops marks for making memories. Thank you Little Fant Farm ❤️

Chiltern Hundreds

The food was very nice and the service was excellent. We booked one of their dog friendly tables in the restaurant and the staff brought a bowl of water and treats for our dog which was a nice touch.

The Burrow

My mum and I came here the other day after realising that a new nearby farm shop didn’t have an eat inside area. In fact someone at the farm shop recommended it to me.Lovely staff, great coffee, homemade cakes, excellent service… was really impressed and will definitely be back!

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

I hadn't been here for a very long time. I'm happy to say the food is as delicious as ever.They catered very well for our table of 13. Especially as there was another large party upstairs and a couple more large groups downstairs. No idea how they managed to serve so many big groups so well.Parking is easy as there is a pay and display almost opposite on Wheeler St.

Mughal Dynasty

Lovely welcome and fantastic food. Great with food allergies, really wanting to help. Overall, great nightDietary restrictions: Great with dairy and wheat allergies. Even made me onion bhaji with no ghee.

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. ?

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.

Pizza Express

The same fantastic food like most other pizza express sites. It's in a good location with plenty of parking nearby, and it's not far from the main shopping hub.

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.

Nando's Maidstone

Came in for a cheeky nandos and its was amazing, we where seat right away and told that we can put our bags behind the booth to make sure we had enough space, it was quite busy for a sunday but the atmosphere and service where amazing, accidentally got given a extra beer, offered to pay for it but was told its on the house which is amazing, 10/10, and thanks to the manger on shift who was outstanding and really put a smile on our faces

kalaRED Oriental bar | Chinese restaurant | Takeaway Delivery

Fusion of excellent drinks (sake bomb in particular must be tried), excellent service (inspired use of the gong), and excellent food (I can only imagine as I've never dared to mix the food and the drink!)

Zizzi

If you are looking for a nice place with a good atmosphere and taste food then Zizzi is the right choice. Good on prices,quick cooking and lovely stuff (especially Frasier,the top man).

Charcoal Grill

Food was delivered hot and plenty of it. We were very happy with our order of lamb shish and chicken shish wrap - fresh and tasty. Good value for money also. I put 3 stars for service just because we waited an hour for delivery on a Thursday eve and would have liked a shorter wait time. Otherwise will definitely order again!

Crown City

Great, tasty food, fast service and attentive staff. This place is not “cheap” but not overly expensive either , food is fresh. Great ChineseParking: Reasonable amount of spaces , managed to find parking easily

Marino Fish Bar - Bearsted

Food is excellent. Always value for money. As with many takeaways the delivery apps now mean it takes longer to get served in person.Although I had to wait I felt that Rose gave very good service. Deducted a star for the wait.

Ockys Caribbean Kitchen Maidstone

I’ve passed here so many times meaning to stop and finally I did. Wow it was worth it! Friendly and delicious food. Delighted to find curry goat and of course fried dumplings.Paid direct to his bank account as no card machine.Will definitely be back!

Market House

Great place for food and drinks! Can get noisy with the live band nights so if you want a quiet conversation go upstairs! Nice ambience and a real buzz about the place. Would highly recommend!

Aunt Sally's Kitchen

Arrived and collected at midday and out came a lovely box full of afternoon tea goodies. We were provided 3 sandwiches and 3 cakes each along with a scone, clotted cream and jam. All the food was super fresh and tasted amazing! Will definitely be ordering again, such great value. Thank you so much!

Maidstone Best Kebab

Tried this Kebab for the first time after almost giving up hope of finding any good kebabs in Maidstone and was pleasantly impressed. I ordered the combination kebab and both the lamb and chicken were so juicy and tasty. Really pleased with the food.

The Black Horse

The place is beautiful and we went to a match thereThe service is very fast and the staff are friendlyVery nice pub, we watch football game thereThe food is good and very fast service

Bakers + Baristas

Excellent place to relax, chill and socialise. If you’re on your own or with others - this place is absolutely wonderful for you to enjoy a coffee. So much variety on offer with the food selection and very tasty! I can’t fault this place and recommend everyone to make sure they try it out if passing by or looking for somewhere to take lunch - any day of the week. Customer service is also top notch and I was very welcomed and left better & more rejuvenated than can be expected. Thanks.

Walnut Tree Loose

We visited Christmas Eve with 10 of us strolling in. It was busy, but the weather was so mild that we sat outside in the garden. The bar lady was working alone and she was fabulous, she did a great job. Lovely little pub to stop at after walking up the hill from Loose village.

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

The White Horse

We came for dinner this week and had a fantastic time. The staff were fantastic with my toddler and she loved her pizza. Service was quick and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Taksim Mezze Grill (Maidstone)

You can always ask how do you want them to prepare your kebab. It takes around 15 mins for the order and everything served well. Fresh salad, good food, totally a fan!

Cafe Riviera

My Partner & I have trawled all over Maidstone town centre including the Mall for a decent breakfast. It's been either lukewarm or with a snotty egg or both. Yesterday (20.03.24) we tried the Cafe Riviera & was absolutely delighted with the breakfast, undoubtedly the best in town!!

Kent Drinks Co.

Karl and his lovely assistant hosted my 30th Birthday drinks and made the night so memorable. They were professional, engaging and the drinks and cocktails served from the bespoke menu were delicious! We were really impressed with the service and couldn’t have asked for more - thank you again and again!

Pad Thai Live

Decent Thai food which is served hot. The pad thai noodles are little sweet and spice is less. The Thai green curry is more of yellow and lacks the authentic taste, the red curry is better.

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.
