Babasheesh in Maidstone

Food was OK but not worth the money paid, took a long time to get served. Over the course of the evening the same drinks got more expensive as the evening went on £18 at the start for two double gin and lemonade but by the end of the evening the same drinks were £20.50.

Great food great music would definitely recommend a Hugh shout to all staff and especially Craig who was very professional and looked after us can't wait to go back

I went for food with a couple mates and the food was great, there was a small mixup in our food order but this worked in our favour as there was way more food and it was great!

We purchased 3 tickets fo their Soul and Motown entertainment evening including a two course meal. The first course consisted of snacks , bread and olives. The main course consisted of various meats and rice. No drinks are included,bottles of cheap wine seemed very expensive..Staff were attentive and polite. As for the entertainment this fell well short of our expectations. We was expecting a lively evening of music and entertainment, the one singer did his best but it in no way matched up to what was advertised on the photograph.To say we were disappointed is an understatement.It ended up a very expensive evening with very little atmosphere. I would not recommend, lesson learnt

To celebrate my wifes birthday, I booked the "Country Music Live" event which sounded good, the confirmation email described it as "An evening of heartfelt ballads, boot-stompin' tunes, and authentic country flair. Includes a 2 course meal". starting at 7.30pm and finishing at 11pm. the tickets were £82 for the two of us. We arrived just after 7.30pm and ordered 2 pints of Peroni at the bar which cost an eye watering £12.50. "Country Music Live" was just one lady and her Macbook. she looked the part with the boots, cowboy hat and glittery dress but the show was frankly, terrible, she didn't seem to know the songs very well, and most of the time she was just singing into her laptop. was she googling the lyrics ? hardly an "authentic country flair". for the first part of the set there seemed to be some technical difficulties as she kept putting her hand up to get the attention of a member of staff and had to stop while they fixed it. The starters came out on what looked like a cake stand. halloumi, olives, humous. very tasty. the singer had a break, then the mains came out for the second part of the set. some mixed meats, served with rice and couscous. portion sizes quite small and we finished the food quite quickly. the singer then sung for about another 45 mins, then by 10pm she stopped then just music some other non-country dance music on which was blaring out through the speakers and so loud you could not have a conversation without shouting in each others ears. by 10.15 we decided we'd had enough and decided to go. I would not recommend Babasheesh for a live event, the tickets were not cheap, I feel mis-sold and would not recommend. I won't be going back.
