Khalid's Kitchen in Hastings

Food is amazing and the crew are so nice and accommodating. Love the music.

We had a great meal at Khalid’s Kitchen. The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed the authentic Arab flavors. Service was a bit slow, even though we were the only ones there, but the quality of the food made up for it. Since we love Arab cuisine, we’ll definitely be back!

We have ordered from Khalid's again and as usual the food is outstanding, presentation is outstanding. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you

I ordered the food at 19.20 amd it didn't arrive till 21.25 the chicken and chips were cold and dry very unhappy

Amazing quality, fresh and tasty

Have just started going here after having been recommended by a friend the staff are brilliant so friendly and helpful when asked about their menu they are happy to explain and recommended which foods would suit and the young lady tonight was so helpful over my coffee, the restaurant both inside and out is spotless, we will be going there more regularly 😀

My adult son recommended we dine here for lunch. He chose well. Happy staff, the food we ate was superb, well presented and portion sizes were generous. Son had loaded fries with chicken, I ate lamb shawarma, daughter had lamb samosas. We were all really impressed, loads of seating in and out, a really enjoyable lunch. Fantastic value for £24. I'll be back with husband for sure

I came here for lunch today to try something different and was really impressed. I paid £7.50 for a generously sized and flavourful portion of loaded fries, which I thought was excellent value and so much nicer (and probably healthier, too) than going to the McDonald's just up the road. Would happily come back here in the future!

Very disappointed in Khalids. We’ve been loyal customers since it opened using the place at least once a week. We decided to get it delivered through Uber and the driver delivered the wrong food . I called the restaurant and explained and even offered to drive down and drop the wrong food off and collect the correct food. Were told by the manager that there was nothing he could do and it was Ubers problem. We’re now down £50 and have no food that we can eat to show for it. A show of good faith to a regular customer would’ve gone a long way.

Great food, very tasty and good portion size

A gem. Lovely food and excellent service. Lots of veggie options and they happily catered to my allergy as they make everything fresh. Excellent coffee too.

Happened upon this place whilst shopping in Hastings. We thought we'd give it a go, and thank goodness we did! Excellent homemade food, great prices and lovely staff. Will come here again.

My favourite restaurant in the town centre! Brilliant breakfasts. Good choose for vegetarians also.

Recommended Traditonal Arab restaurant. Situated just outside the Priory Meadow Shopping Centre entrance. Plenty of seating, which includes outside, ground floor and upstairs. Clean, well decorated, the floor and wall tiles were very eye catching. Staff were friendly. Plenty of options including kids meals. Well priced meals. Food was flavoursome, with home cooked taste.

Great food and very reasonable prices.

Nice looking restaurant and friendly enough staff but food is a real let down. Lots of things on menu were unavailable and you're only made aware of this when you order. Food took an age to come and was luke warm at best when it did. Chicken was bland tasteless and dry, Served with half a pitta?. Rice was ok and homous was fine. Asked for some chilli sauce which finally arrived when I had almost finished the meal.. That was quite nice tbf and gave the little food I had remaining a bit of flavour. This is the second time I've been to this restaurant and both times have been seriously underwhelming. Not again I'm afraid. Which is a shame

Popped in for light lunch. Fab food and service. Will definitely be going back again.

I loved this place. Food is delicious full of flavour. Staff really friendly. Totally recommend and will be returning soon.

We arrived not long before the kitchen closed, we were told some options on the menu would not be available due to this, that was fine with us. Staff were very polite and accommodating, food was delicious. I even brought some cakes to take away. Would definitely come back

First visit on a Friday lunchtime, made to feel very welcome, cool air con in the seating area upstairs, food was so so tasty and beautifully presented… 100% recommend

I absolutely love khalid's kitchen! I always had great food when I came here, very tasty and really good portions. Staff are very welcoming and attentive here. Would 100% recommend going here!

Here for a long time, not a good time. We waited over an hour for the fry up due to a late delivery. We weren't updated on the delay as we waited and the food was incredibly disappointing. The sausages were incredibly dry and did not taste good at all. The mushrooms and beans were also very disappointing with most of our table opting not to eat them. We were given a round of free coffees to apologise for the wait but given the poor quality of the food we will not be returning.

The staff were very polite and helpful. My partner's vegan Tawook and my chicken Kabsa were absolutely delicious. The mocktails also were very, very good and very reasonably priced, as were the meals we all enjoyed. We bought 6 pieces of baklava to take away. We were all so full up we couldn't fit in tea, cofees or sweet directly after the meal. The baklava/kanoufa (?) were the best we've ever tasted - (in uk, as never tried elsewhere). And again portions are large. Also included a couple of varieties of baklava we've not seen before. Outstanding food. totally recommend Khalids Kitchen. We'll be going back - for meals and more baklava!

Great food, great service, cozy vibe - Would definitely recommend!

Food is incredible and so hearty. Very happy with my order. Only fault was the delivery time but not to blame the restaurant for this!

Very delicious food at very fair prices. The service was nice and helpful. The toilets were very clean. Unfortunately, some tables lacked knives and forks as well as napkins. All in all, I recommend this restaurant for everyone who wants authentic Arabic cuisine. We will definitely come back.

Great Dirty Chai and chicken skewers!! Very good atmosphere and music. Came here twice in three days

As always an excellent meal I can never fault this place I always recommend and rave about Khalids.

Ordered a take out - really delicious food. Highly recommend ☺️

I just ordered a shawarma wrap, chips and tabbouleh. The wrap and chips while small were as advertised. The tabbouleh however was just a sad bowl of parsley. Tabbouleh is a salad, not a single herb, I'm an Arab I know what I'm talking about. I'm disappointed and would rather have had nothing and not been charged £6.15 for 20p worth of parsley. Shocking. I won't order again. Be warned.

First revisit in a few months. Nothing has slipped, you'll still get an excellent everything here!

Everything was soggy and cold. Bland.

Love this place. Relaxed atmosphere, really really tasty food, lovely staff and good WiFi connection. Highly recommended 👌

Didnt get chance took money as a delivery then cancelled 2 mins later!! Kids upset and disgraceful service!!!

Freshest take away I've had in a very long time. My partner and I both really enjoyed our veggie/vegan dishes. Can't wait to order/eat here again.

I phoned the restaurant because the time kept moving back. they told me the food had been ready for ages and there was no driver.

The food was terrible. I absolutely loveee Turkish food & have been missing it since I’ve been out of London. I wanted to love this place so much & was so excited to order it. But the food was horrific! I ordered a lamb shawarma box, the lamb was dry and gritty with pieces or cartilage. The rice was dry and tasted like uncle bens. The salad and chips were okay. I was looking forward to the bread and hummus, but tell me why it tasted like I was eating paper??? It was thin, dry and tasted like it had come out of a packet. Nothing tasted fresh, it was all so disappointing!

Best place around, won’t find better tasting food!!

The bread was small compared to the humus.

absolutely beautiful food and at a correct temperature with good presentation.

I have eaten at Khalid’s Kitchen on numerous occasions and every time I have not been disappointed. A wonderful atmosphere with lovely friendly staff and the food is great, especially the kofte, shawarma and kibbeh boxes along with the pancakes…oh and the chai latte is the best I’ve ever tasted! A would totally recommend a visit if you haven’t already.

I absolutely love this place!!! Whether it’s a cup of coffee and a sweet treat, lunch or dinner - Khalid’s Kitchen is the place to go! Khalid and his team are attentive, friendly and helpful…nothing is too much trouble, and they are especially considerate of my food allergy. The food is delicious - it's authentic and made by the talented kitchen staff. There is plenty of choice, and something for every occasion. I can recommend the shakshuka wrap for breakfast or the chicken shawarma for lunch and dinner. The food is always served fresh and wonderfully presented. The restaurant is beautifully decorated in an Arabic style with exceptional attention to detail. It is clean, comfy, and spacious - a perfect place to enjoy with friends and family. There's also outside seating which makes for a perfect pitstop on our dog walks. I’ve been a regular customer for two years so I’ve included some photos which speak for themselves - simply wonderful food and drinks! Come and see for yourselves, I would 100% recommend to anyone!

Do not bother with this restaurant. I booked our table via Facebook messenger which is a service offered by Khalids Kitchen via Facebook. The table was confirmed by them and a reminder sent on the day of the booking. When we arrived this evening we were told there was no booking for us and that we would have to sit downstairs. It was cold downstairs as the delivery drivers were continually in and out of the door. The waitress put the heating on for us but it didn’t take the chill off. One of our party went upstairs to find several tables not reserved so we had been lied to. We were given menus which were covered in food and dog-eared. Our starters, (3 x hummus), took 25 minutes to arrive. One of our party asked for gluten free bread, hers arrived warmed, the other 2 portions of bread were stone cold so we had to ask for it to be warmed. Our main meals arrived before our starters had been cleared away. One of the dishes was lamb skewers with onion, pepper and cherry tomatoes with rice and tahini sauce. The skewer arrived without the pepper and cherry tomatoes, when we queried this we were told they didn’t have any left. This hadn’t been explained to us when the food was brought to the table. We were offered bigger tomatoes which we agreed to. We were brought a little bowl of 2 CHERRY TOMATOES, after being told there weren’t any. Then a bowl of peppers arrived, again after we’d been told there weren’t any. So far we’d been lied to about the table and the tomatoes and peppers. The lamb was so overcooked it was bone dry, there was no pinkness in the middle and it was black on the outside. The rice on all 3 of our dishes was clumpy, my dish had massive clumps of rice stuck together. Very unappetising and not how rice should be presented in a restaurant. We asked to speak to the owner as we were so unhappy with our evening. He said all he could do was apologise, he argued with us about the peppers and tomatoes and said he’d ’found the tomatoes in the corner of the fridge’ which was reassuring. We asked for a discount as we were not willing to pay for inedible food. He offered 25% which we declined. We asked for 50% which we believed would cover the hummus and our drinks. As we continued to explain how unhappy we were he walked away from us mid sentence. Extremely rude behaviour from a business owner who relies on the good faith of customers to keep his business going. We offered to pay for the food we had eaten and our drinks as they still expected us to pay for the inedible food even after the discount. After speaking to the owner again, the waiter said we didn’t have to pay. That wasn’t even the point, the awful food and the rudeness of the owner was the point. We will never visit Khalids Kitchen again and urge others not to either.

A lovely warming restaurant which makes you feel like you are in the Middle East! Great atmosphere, delicious food and great portions. The staff are very friendly and welcoming 😁 5⭐️

Excellent! Great service, beautiful atmosphere, amazing food! Enjoyed a lovely dinner out with the girls. Will be back or order for home.

Loverly food delivery guy really nice on time

What a delightful, hidden gem. Delicious coffee ☕️ and food. Friendly helpful staff. Will be visiting this eater again. Thank you 😊

The service was attentive but very relaxed. Perfect balance between being available to help, without being intrusive. The food was delicious and fresh. Side salad is normally an afterthought, but you could tell it was all fresh and crisp, always a good sign of quality. Had dinner with a vegetarian (I'm not!) and there were good options for us both. Not only was the food excellent, but excellently value for money. The decor and general vibe of the place is cool too! Clean, tidy and well decorated but not ostentatious. Cannot recommend this place enough and am looking forward to my next excuse to return

Paid too much for a box full of rice and hummus and just 3 small meatballs. Otherwise the food tasted good, nothing special.

The best shawarma box I ever had in a long time. The price was very reasonable for the quality and the service Thank you Khalid Kitchen بارك الله فيكم

The food was bland, meat was so over cooked that it was crispy and all tasted the same, was cold upon arrival and so disappointing. Will not be returning!

Great place with really delicious food! the lamb shawarma loaded fries are my favourite but everything else I've had has been amazing too! 10/10

Popped in for a snack and can’t wait to come back for a meal. Delightful place, calming atmosphere, kind and friendly staff. Thank you guys!

came in on a cold windy day with my dog. no signs dogs are not allowed. ordered and paid at desk. only then i was ordered to sit outside. i asked my money back, had to wait several minutes asvonly the manager can do so. instead of letting me have a hot chocolste inside in a corner, i stood inside in the middle of it with my dog ...

Absolutely splendid! Do not let yourself be put off by the location, it's not a shopping mall restaurant. Amazing breakfast.

Great food and location. Very friendly team and delicious and well priced food.

Jako lijep ambijent. Opuštena atmosfera, kava i kolači odlični.

Charming little TARDIS, amazing food, the chicken was the best I've had in a long time. Highly recommend the chicken shawarma 😋 it was a little confusing when we first arrived, we had a table booked and were lead to the table upstairs but we were asked if we knew what we were eating or needed 5 or 10 minutes, we asked to sit and look at the menu! After a while we realised that she wasn't coming back, that's because she failed to mention we needed to pop downstairs and place our order at the counter. We still had a great time and amazing food so thanks guys, we will be back!

Great food good choice friendly and happy staff highly recommended 👌

First time ordering, amazing food! Will definitely be ordering again.

chicken the texture and colour or tuna.. Everything bland. very disappointing

Best food in Hastings. only place to listen to requests. 10/10

Still the best place to eat in Hastings, really good food

I ordered the vegetable tagine as a takeaway. It was tasty but the tagine portion itself was tiny, which was disappointing! My friend's portion of lamb was bigger but quite dry. The hummus was delicious.

One of the best meals We've e ordered in ages! The meat was tender, the spices just delicious. I was so excited to see Shish Tawook on the menu, I've not had that since I was living in Egypt. It was delicious! We're made up with the quality of the food, such wonderful flavours. This is rapidly becoming our favourite place in town. Top marks! Thank you to everyone at Khalid's, that's made our evening.

Loves the food the first time we ordered from this but this was very different. Soggy, greasy and bland. A real shame.

My first order here and it was delicious!! I recommend and will use again

It's a very cosy place, incredibly delicious breakfast and nice staff, thank you very much😊

Order didn’t arrive!! Got charged !£25 called the restaurant who said they couldn’t help with refunding /contacting the driver who stole it and then marked it as delivered Whilst I stood on my door step waiting on the phone to the restaurant who said they could not send a replacement or refund me so but encouraged me to re order our dinner assuring me I would 100% get my money back but not with them I explained I simply did not have a another £25 to pay for dinner a second time neither could I risk spending another £25 the

The food keeps arriving cold, other than that it’s lovely but you also need more bread with the box

Superb food, fresh as always. Very filling.

Love this place. Great food, service and atmosphere.

Best place in the world amazing food

The food was superb with a great portion size! The homemade baklava was delicious! Will be coming back!

Food was well prepared and tasted good.

i had to go pick it up myself. Please refund me the just eat fees.

The vegan shawarma box is tasty, would reccomend.

Great food experience. Will defonitely try again.

i think i faund place for me !!!! nice boxes respect

Amazing food! Lovely staff, would definitely order again ☺️

Amazing will definitely order again x

Went for a team lunch and was really good. Huge portions and excellent customer service

Nice and clean, friendly young staff. Reasonable prices, good portions and tasty.

Really tasty but kind of slacking on the meat

Amazing staff, amazing food. Big portions for such an affordable price. Staff were so polite and chatty. Would definitely return. And highly recommend. Such nice coffee as well.

Great tasting selection, will be ordering again and trying more from the menu

If you like Middle Eastern food (and why wouldn’t you? It’s the best!) then make sure to check out Khalid’s kitchen in the town centre. I had the chicken shawarma box (see pic) and it was delicious. Fragrant, perfectly cooked rice, delicately sumac-scented chicken, creamy hummus and fresh salad. The service was great and they thoughtfully brought my dog a water bowl on a hot day. I’ll definitely be back (at the very least to check out their breakfasts!)

It is an acquired taste but not for me personally. We ordered vegan kebab skewers, vine leaves, falafel and chicken wraps, chicken wings, tabbouleh and mango passion smoothie (the latter two being my most preferred out of what we got).

Absolutely amazing 👏 Once is never going to be enough 💯

Lovely food as always. Delivery early.

food arrived cold and said courier was near very early

Fabulous, new favourite place.

Proper high quality food with huge portions, wish I lived in Hastings so I could come here for breakfast and dinner every weekend!

The best food in town by far. Thank you. Lovely as always.

Good tasty food, good delivery time. Would use again.

Great food, delicious and fresh, great value for money

Super leckeres Essen, netter Service. Wir würen jederzeit wieder gehen:-)

تعامل الموظفين حلو بس الاكل اقل من عادي يبيله زيادة بهارات 🌶️ والرز يبيله طبخ زياده والاسعار معقوله سندويش الشاورما حلوه

Received a takeaway from these guys on Uber eats. The food was really underwhelming. I ordered a falafel wrap, falafel box and side portion of seasoned potatoes. In more detail, the falafel wrap was very expensive at £8. The falafel was dry, little humus and no other veg. I will show a picture to emphasise how bad this wrap is. This is the worst takeaway I have had. I had such high expectations from the reviews I've been reading. The potatoes ( side order) were also rediculous at £5. Dry, tasteless and a very small portion . Also, I have tried to phone these guys to see what they would but can't get through to them. In summary, I do think they need to step up there game compared to many other better takeaways in the area. Need to show some love and care with there food, especially at nearly £30. I guess I will cook my own dinner this evening. Please respond

Order cancelled without any notice for the second time. Terrible customer service.
