Kurdish charcoal grill in Hastings

Long time customers, Food used to be on point, last few orders were hit n miss but the last order was more burnt that Hastings pier, Satay Chicken looked like jelled ells and tasted liked out of date jelly babies, few other dishes we had were again hit an miss/warm cold and no taste. Wont order from here again.

This place is vile. i ordered a beef pizza as soon as it got here my partner opened it up and didnt see a problem first slice until we soon then realised was a bad idea. my partner was choking it was horrific after 6 mins continuously trying to catch his breath and get whatever was stuck out! it wasn’t just anything it was a peace of METAL!! i then contacted the shop and got nothing but abuse and got accused of trying to scam this shop! pardon im furious by this and have contacted the business owner after going back and forth and taking no accountability hes no longer responding. the customer skills are appallingly. please don’t order from the hastings shop! especially if u have kids couldn’t imagine if this was anyone else and how dangerous it could have been.

Kind caring staff ,just went in ,9th March 2025 ,6pm ,young guy there super helpful ,great atmosphere, the food is hot and good quality 👌

This is the 2nd time I have visited The Duke and the experience this time was not as good. Unfortunately, the waiting staff seemed very disorganised and were not very attentive when taking the order. The cutlery, serviettes were not brought out all at once but they kept coming backwards and forwards. One of the party had the gnocchi and when the waiter asked if we wanted anything else, ie, sauces, etc, they requested some parmesan cheese. The waiter returned to say that we could have parmesan but there would be an extra charge of £1 ! I have never in all the times I have visited restaurants have been asked to pay extra for parmesan cheese. We then asked to speak to the manager, who came over and said she would have to speak to the chef as she was a temporary manager. I am not sure what that had to do with making a decision on whether or not we had to pay for the parmesan. I pointed out that a member of the party was having the fish & chips but had requested at the time of ordering that they did not want the mushy peas or tartare sauce. We would certainly not have expected to receive a reduction in the price ! The temporary manager then said she did not want to argue about it so would bring a portion of parmesan for no extra cost. I was a bit annoyed as there should have not been any argument at all as surely a small grating of parmesan should be free anyway, or the price incorporated in the cost of the meal !

The best spot in the whole of Hastings, completely wasted. Such a shame.
